adventure sessions
These two chose to do an adventurous elopement-style session with us in Grand Teton National Park a few days after their destination wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We woke up before sunrise to watch the alpenglow on the Tetons and soak in the chilly summer morning.
To celebrate 10 years of marriage, Michelle and Doug came out to Yosemite for an adventure session with us! We woke up before sunrise and watched the light come up being Half Dome as it illuminated the entire valley.
Alexandra and David have traveled the world together and after getting secretly engaged in Bali, they continued their travels for months before telling anyone! Eventually, they found themselves headed to the US for a big road trip around the west and decided to make a stop in Yosemite National Park for their engagement photos with us!
Alyssa and Horacio chose to do an epic road trip out west for their honeymoon and brought their wedding clothes along for some epic adventure portraits in Mount Rainier National Park! After a few days enjoying and hiking in the park, they met up with us up on the mountain. The conditions ended up being super unique - the whole mountain was covered in fog! Some people might consider this “bad weather” but honestly it was so cool, and so classic Pacific North West! We hiked up the snowfield a little bit for some moody foggy portraits in the trees and with such low visibility it felt like we were in a different world! After that, we drove down the mountain below the fog layer and hiked out into a riverbed with more moody portraits as the fog swirled in the trees above us. They ran around the boulders, climbed on some giant fallen trees, and we ended the day with a few portraits with their rad adventure vehicle that had driven them across the country. We sent them off with some location suggestions for the second half of their road trip and wished we had more time to spend together, we had so much fun with these two!
If you like the idea of an adventurous elopement, but still want to have a wedding back home with your family and friends, you could always consider working a portrait session into your honeymoon! It’s such a cool way to get epic wedding portraits when all the feelings are still fresh, without having to do a destination wedding if that isn’t your thing.

Michelle and Damian have such a cool story. These two are from Florida, but instead of doing a traditional wedding, or even a wedding at all, they decided to just do a big road trip across the US all the way to Colorado so they could self-solomize on a hike together. Colorado actually has some of the most relaxed marriage laws in the US and they don’t require witnesses, or even an officiant, for a couple to get married! Michelle and Damian loved this idea, but they still wanted some photos to commemorate everything, so they eloped together on a hike in Colorado and then met up with us in Moab, Utah for a post-elopement portrait session. We spent the evening laughing and dancing with them around one of my favorite overlooks in Moab. It was absolutely beautiful! These two are so rad, we loved hanging out with them and when the time came for our session to be over we were honestly bummed to say goodbye!
If you're considering eloping and don't want do deal with ANY logistics, this is possibly the most simple way you could possibly get married. They literally picked up their papers, went on a hike, and when they sat down to sign them they were officially married. How wild is that? We love that they still chose to celebrate with a photo session and hope they will cherish these photos for years to come. If you're interested in booking a post-elopement photo session with us, reach out! We'd be happy to help organize and really take the planning off of your plate!
