Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Elopement packages are priced by destination (i.e., worldwide, USA, or Smoky Mountains) and each includes our full travel fees, for any location accessible by standard commercial airlines and a 2WD car, in the cost of the package. You are responsible for any additional charges for private flights, activities, or special vehicles to navigate your experience. 

Absolutely. Adventure simply translates into an epic experience. We tailor our packages to meet your needs. If you are seeking outdoor landscapes but don’t want to hike, we do research and scouting to ensure that your destinations are within a short walking distance and that any accessible needs are met. Whether you want to rent a cabin with a scenic backdrop, celebrate at a local brewery with family and friends or dance in a roadside field of wildflowers - we focus on capturing you at your best.

First of all, this is a commonality between many of our clients, so know that it is a normal feeling. We know that it feels vulnerable to have your pictures taken. We send you tools prior to your wedding with the intention to invoke emotional depth because we want you to focus on your connection coming into the experience. The day of your elopement, we will guide you and your partner into comfortable spaces, easing you through with verbal cues and feedback. No experience necessary, just be yourselves!

You will receive a handful of sneak peeks within one week of your experience to enjoy while we work through the editing process. The full gallery will be ready six weeks after your wedding. Engagement sessions have a three week turnaround time. Digital images are delivered through an online gallery, with unlimited downloads, and will be open for one year. You will have a guest password to share with family and friends so they, too, can post on social media and print.

We include a complimentary 10-spread album design with every package. Your personal client portal will have the digital proof of the interior design when the full gallery is delivered. This can be edited to your liking and more spreads can be added into the interior design for a small fee. Anytime during the year following your experience, we can discuss the options for ordering a custom storybook. We offer a wide variety of leathers (vegan options available), book cloths, and suedes. Handcrafted album start at $1250. 

We only offer 8+ hours to multi-day weddings and elopements. Our in-depth storytelling approach to photography requires more than one or two hours of coverage to really capture the essence of the adventure wedding experience and your connection. 

Yes. We are actually listed as preferred photographers for a few Smoky Mountain wedding venues, including The Magnolia and The Trillium. Our adventurous style stretches into destination weddings because the heart of the adventure is still crafted around connection and being immersed in Mother Nature. Regardless of having a "venue wedding", we still move throughout the experience with a couple-focused approach. Often in more traditional weddings, timelines can feel rushed or sight it lost from what really matters. We advocate for our couples so they do not get caught up in nonsense. We create space in the timeline to have moments alone with your partner during portraits to soak in the atmosphere. We help you truly have the Best Day Ever

Visit the contact page and send us a message. From there, we will reach out via email and set up a time to chat on an in-depth video call. We'd love to hear about your vision and lay the groundworks for what to expect working with us. The next step is to complete your booking proposal that we will send following the call. A non-refundable retainer of $1500 ($2500 for multi-day) secures the date(s), along with a signed contract, and is applied to the full package price. The remaining balance is due 60 days prior to the wedding experience. We accept all major credit/debit cards without any additional fees or taxes. Your flat package price is what you pay.
