As professional adventure elopement and wedding photographers, we have a good amount of experience with aerial photography in beautiful destinations. Many of our couples hire helicopters or airplanes to get to epic places. This post goes through some tips and advice for aerial photography, as well as how to find good tours and how to prepare so you get the best possible photos.

Jaime and Christian decided to travel overseas to Yosemite National Park for their adventure elopement. We helped them plan their wedding day timeline from a first look at Glacier Point to a ceremony at Taft Point officiated by professional rock climber Jordan Cannon.

We took a flight seeing tour from Fairbanks, Alaska into Gates of the Arctic National Park. As adventure elopement photographers, we are always looking for remote and beautiful places for unique destination weddings. We’ve been to Patagonia, road tripped through the alps, explored the Canadian Rockies, and a majority of the American West, but we’ve never seen anything like the Brooks Range in Alaska.

I was so honored to get to do adventurous elopement-style engagement photos with Caroline Geich and Rob Lea before their wedding. Caroline and Rob climbed Mount Everest together less than a month before this session!
