We are Abbi and Callen Hearne, adventure wedding photographers based in Moab & Alaska

We’re adventurers, travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, and elopement photographers.

We’ve built our lives around adventure, and we try to live that out every day. Whether that’s jumping out of airplanes or summiting desert towers in Moab, paddling with icebergs or climbing on glaciers in Alaska, or Callen spending his days off in Yosemite climbing El Cap.

Honestly, we fell in love with the outdoors first, and weddings second. We're guessing you kind of feel the same way, and that's why you're here. One of our greatest joys is sharing our love of adventure with our couples!

Which brings us to…why we love elopements so much. We're all about relationships, and one of our favorite things about being wedding photographers is the connection we get to build with our couples. We've found that by specializing in these intimate, outdoors-focused weddings, we get to know our couples on a deeper level. We aren't just showing up and following a strict timeline, we're exploring and experiencing the wild desert or the windy mountains with you.

We believe the best way to serve you is to go beyond the beautiful photographs and give you a meaningful experience. We do this with extensive planning assistance, location knowledge, and expert-level outdoor wedding photography skill.

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

LOCATIONS + TRAVEL SCHEDULE

After over six years of living full time on the road, then part time on the road, we’ve finally “settled down” and made Utah & Alaska our home. We’ve narrowed down our bookings to the places we love most and feel most knowledgable in so we can give our couples a full value experience. We occasionally take roadtrips to California with limited availability in locations like Joshua Tree and Yosemite National Park.

Why would someone want to elope in a place they’ve never been to before? We get this question a lot — it’s something that often surprises people: the fact that a lot of our couples are seeing the place for the first time when they c
I remember when we were still photographing bigger weddings in Texas, we 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,
