THE HEARNES PRICING MENU

WE’RE PRETTY INVOLVED. Here’s a little glimpse into our process:

First things first, you’re likely here because you’ve seen our photos and you’re mega stoked on them. We absolutely can’t wait for that moment when you receive a gallery of incredible photos of YOU on your day, and can assure you the process between now and then will be a blast! We started doing this before most people even knew what adventure elopements were, and the years of experience and vision definitely shows up in our work, our planning skills, and the way you’ll feel when working with us. This is reflected in our extensive portfolio & our vast knowledge of the regions where we work. When we first gave up a solid address to live on the road full time almost years ago, we fully committed to this lifestyle and this job. We are constantly exploring new areas, dialing in our own systems, day dreaming how we can serve our couples better, and evaluating what we can do to continue surprising our couples with an experience that is beyond what they could've hoped when they first e-mailed us. We can guarantee you that we care about this deeply. We care about you and we continually dream about how we can go beyond your expectations.

The Relationship

From the very first email, you've probably already noticed how invested we are in knowing you. We want to form a relationship with you that means when we do finally meet up in person, we're skipping the formal handshake and going straight to hugs. We believe that the best photos come out when you're being yourselves and when you feel comfortable around us. We also believe that by knowing you two specifically and applying our vast knowledge of locations, opportunities, and wedding/elopement details, we can help you dream up a wedding day that 100% reflects you two. We accomplish this deep relationship by booking less and pouring more into each couple. We like to say we are professional blind-double-daters, but the reality is by the time we're meeting up in person, we're far from blind. By then, we know you well enough to capture your true selves on the most important day of your lives.

Location Scouting

We are explorers through and through. Our absolute favorite day-off activity is finding a random dirt road to drive down and explore a new area by "car-hiking" and stopping along the way to venture by foot. We both spend a ton of our free time trolling google maps, dropping pins in places that look interesting and then figuring out the best way to get there whether it's by driving, dirt biking, by foot, by plane, by boat…you get the point. This constant exploration leads us to the most amazing places, and considering our profession you best bet we're always scouting perfect spots for intimate ceremonies, adventurous photo sessions, and places our couples will love to explore. Whether you're looking for sweeping views, narrow canyons, a literal mountain-top, or a meadow surrounded by snowy peaks, we can reccomend a few, and most of our favorites are almost always empty.

Details + Planning

We often joke that because our elopement couples have opted to forgo all the wedding details they feel unnecessary, we take on the role of planner, stylist, hiking guide, coordinator, best friend (ceremony witnesses!!), legal officiant, and so on. The thing is - we love that. Honestly, a lot of our couples are choosing to elope because they don't want to deal with all of the ~wedding~ stuff that stresses them out, so we gladly help with picking out attire, recommending vendors if you do want florals, make-up, an officiant, etc, creating a custom timeline and order of events that suits your needs and desires, and so on. Pretty much anytime you have a question during your planning process, we'll happily talk through it with you and offer suggestions that are suited to your personality and vision for your day.

Story telling

Not to sound fluffy, but this is what we're really here for. You're hiring us to implement the points above and tell a story true to you. We will get to know you, your desires and your passions, what makes you unique, and we'll combine that information with our extensive knowledge and experience in various regions and shooting various weddings to create a day that reflects you two. Our goal is that throughout your wedding day, you’re constantly reminded "oh, that's why we did this!" as you fall more in love with your partner and with the environment you've chosen to marry in. We also hope that whether you have guests in attendance, or friends viewing photos back home afterwards, the people in your circle learn more about you two through their own experience of your wedding day. We watch for all the little details and while we'll be capturing a lot of amazing photos that you'll be itching to see as soon as possible, we'll also fill your gallery with little moments you didn't even know were happening, or you didn't even remember until you saw the photo. We want our photos to take you right back to those moments and feelings when you're viewing them one month later and 60 years later. 

the bottom line

We value you. We value your wedding day. We believe you deserve the best possible experience for this once in a lifetime event. When you work with us, you get so much more than a set of amazing photos, you get our knowledge of places, our passion, our stoke, and our friendship. We get that we aren't the right photographers for everyone - but if you've made it this far and you're nodding your head in excitement at the idea of committing your love in one of the world's most beautiful places and spending the day focusing on each other instead of coordinating a hundred vendors, I'm pretty sure we're who you're looking for. So let's do the dang thing!
