Hi buddies! We’re Abbi & Callen Hearne.

We’re adventurers, travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and elopement photographers. We’ve always loved breaking the status quo to chase the things that make our hearts beat faster. When it comes to your wedding, we want to help you do the same.

Soon after we got married nine years ago, we hit the road with the dream to spend more time in the places we loved, hoping our budding photography business would support us. Since then, we’ve lived in a few rigs, photographed hundreds of couples, made a home in the Utah desert and the mountains of Alaska, had a baby, and found more adventures than we ever knew possible.

We believe your wedding day can be your best adventure yet, whether it’s just the two of you or with some of your closest people. We’ll help you plan out an adventure wedding that’s true to you, makes you feel small in some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, & celebrates a love that refuses to be contained within four walls.

With us, your wedding won’t be a rigid timeline, stuffy photoshoot, or day full of obligations — We’ll create an experience to remember for the rest of your life.

We call Moab & Alaska home. You’ll find us in the desert or among the glaciers.

We’ve completely built our life around adventures in beautiful places, and one of our greatest joys is sharing the adventure with our couples. We lived on the road full time for a few years and then fell in love with a little house in the desert of Moab, Utah; our favorite place throughout all of our travels. We typically spend fall & spring in Moab, summer in Alaska, and travel in the winter.

We use our extensive experience and expertise in the outdoors to plan unforgettable custom elopement days for every couple. We usually work with couples to plan everything from their elopement location down to the vendors they’ll work with and the timeline of the day(s) we’ll spend together. We intentionally work with a limited amount of couples each year so that we can bring our full value to every single planning email, phone call, and of course, elopement day. You do not need to have logistics sorted out before reaching out to us, in fact, we typically help our couples with their locations, dates, guests lists, and other vendor connections.

2021 TRAVEL SCHEDULE: Callen and I sat down today and finalized our 2021 travel schedule! We’re so stoked to explore some new places, go back to old favorites, and spend a lot of glorious time in Moab, our home + our favorite place in the world
Some of our old friends from college passed through Moab for half a day so we brought them out to our favorite sunset spot and gave them a glimpse of why we made this desert our home ✨🏜 And today is @katie__sansom birthday sooo happy birthday buddy!
I remember when I was still photographing bigger weddings in Texas, I would always try to work 10 minutes of alone time for the couple into their schedule. It was a hard thing to do. When your timeline requires everything to run minute-by-minute, sch
I noticed today that this is my 1,000th post on this account! I had a few ideas for what to do to celebrate it, but decided that the best way would be an ode to this incredible job, and the wonderful places it has taken us. It’s a wild journey

That feeling when the entire wedding planning process was full of closures, a world-wide pandemic, uncertainty, and constantly changing plans...but then the sun came up from behind the mountains and it was finally their elopement day 💃🏻✨ Not as we
Our best friends bought a house in the desert! Sadly, it wasn’t our same desert but I’ll forgive them because now we have more reason to start regularly visiting Joshua Tree again 😉 And Zion is halfway between the two of us, so things co

Summer here in Moab is not for the faint of heart 🏜🔥 We’re usually in Yosemite this month, and then headed to Alaska shortly after with plans to stay until the lower 48 cools back down. Last year, we didn’t see a day over 85, and that &
