Crafting intentional and immersive elopements for adventurous couples

Smoky Mountain Elopement Photographer + Videographer

Where time slows down

and there's no performances

no expectations

only honest connection

From conceptualizing our vision for our elopement to helping us navigate the logistics of getting married in a national park to helping us feel totally at ease in front of the camera and sharing their post-hike snacks with us when they overheard that we forgot ours (even though snacks were definitely on the stellar elopement-day packing list they thoughtfully shared with us as well), Julie + Colin went above and beyond to help us craft and enjoy our perfect elopement weekend.

"Julie + Colin’s creativity, intentionality, and adventurous spirits were instrumental in helping us experience a truly perfect wedding day"

About Us

You will not find an elopement photographer and videographer team more devoted to making your wedding experience wholeheartedly yours. We believe in the power of intentionality and curating an elopement that lets you breathe, move, explore, and simply be together. No rushed timelines. No people pleasing. Just raw connection, adventure, and the kind of stillness that only nature can give.

Hi! We're julie and Colin Crawford

Truth is the foundation of our approach to filmmaking. The guiding light in the artistic undertone behind video storytelling is capturing authenticity with real emotions. This ideology was born from witnessing couples get pulled from the flow of their day to check off some preplanned shot list; a list that the videographer created with their idea of how they want to tell YOUR story. Beauty exists in organic connection without some manipulated script. When you drop expectations and let go of everything, that’s when the undeniable magic happens. We deliver films carefully crafted with intention. Films that reflect your connection. Let us tell your true story—

to see things as they really are.

What Makes Us Different

Stress not, you don’t have to have anything planned out before booking with us. We’ll work together to find the perfect destination and date that feel just right for you. We send out a planning questionnaire at the beginning of the process to narrow down ideas and create a custom experience. Think of us as your adventure guides, here to help every step of the way and make your elopement planning easy and fun!

No Date, No Location, No Worries!

We know you’re so excited to see your photos! That’s why we’ll send you a sneak peek from your adventure elopement within 24 hours. A little something to share with friends and relive those special moments while we finish up the rest. The full gallery will be delivered 6 weeks after your elopement. You will have access to the shareable online gallery for one year, and it includes unlimited downloads.

Next-day Sneak Peeks

Ordained through the Spirit Of Love Ministry, we hold space for you to shape your ceremony in a way that reflects your relationship. You can choose to share vows with your partners as we stand back and witness, and either of us sign the marriage license (simply put, make it legal). The other option is for us to write a custom tailored script, and Colin serves as your celebrant, guiding you through the ceremony.

Free Officiant Services

We understand your why and the value of eloping amidst the wild. Our's was an 11-day adventure elopement in a camper van! We exchanged vows at sunrise in Colorado and then roamed around Moab, Utah taking our own wedding photos + videos. The experience wasn’t just a road trip to epic places in the desert. Our elopement was a testament to what love looks like when it’s free, grounded, and completely your own.

We Eloped, Too!

Your dreams should never feel boxed in. Wherever your heart leads, we will meet you there. Our travel and lodging are already included in the elopement package. From the rolling hills of the Smokies to the wilds of Alaska, from the red deserts of Utah to the rocky mountains of Montana, from the dramatic landscapes of Iceland to the soaring peaks of Patagonia, and anywhere in between—Earth is your wide open canvas.

Travel Included In Every Package

With plenty of experience under our belts, we’re ready to guide you through every step of the planning process. From discovering stunning locations to suggesting activities that match your vibe, securing permits, crafting an easy-flow timeline and backup plans—we’ve got you covered. Take comfort in knowing that if things go awry, we are able to pivot and shift on a whim while still providing you a smooth experience.

Adventure Is Our Lifestyle

We proudly support diversity and seek couples who take pride in being their authentic selves. We encourage you to unfold with your partner without hesitation. We know the courage it takes to honor your truth in the face of adversity.

Why Choose Us

From the logistics and details beforehand, to the day of, I felt supported the entire time. They walk a beautiful line of planning and going with the flow allowing the day to move in its most natural path. Colin officiated our vow renewal and did an excellent job. Even though we didn’t know each other much he somehow hit the mark perfectly and made our ceremony so special. The photos are absolutely stunning, we could not be happier with them. They encouraged us to showcase our love in a way that felt authentic - giving enough guidance when we wanted, but ultimately letting us just do our thing. Our vow renewal included camping overnight which can be a vulnerable thing. We dropped right in to meaningful conversation and by the end of it walked away with a beautiful friendship.
