Washington Elopement Photography and Videography
For the Wildly in Love
Elopement photography, videography and planning support for couples who feel most at home in wild places. Whether it’s a trailhead, a cliffside, or somewhere you’ve never been, we’re here to help you say yes, your way.
Your Big Day is About You
You don’t have to settle for a wedding that doesn’t feel like you.
Not in the schedule. Not in the setting. Not in the way it’s remembered.
Maybe you’ve been told what your wedding should look like. Maybe you’ve felt the pressure to perform, to plan a party that wasn’t really for you, to follow a timeline that left no space to breathe.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
What If You Did it Differently?
Your love doesn’t look like anyone else’s — and your elopement shouldn’t, either.
We help craft experiences that move at your pace, reflect your priorities, and feel like you. Whether you’re climbing a trail at sunrise or dancing barefoot by the ocean, we’re there to document every real, unscripted moment with destination elopement photography and videography that brings it all rushing back.
You’ll get planning help, honest guidance, and a day built around meaning — not pressure.
Because when you slow down, breathe it in, and just be together… that’s when the good stuff happens.

Why Choose The Crawfords as Your Elopement Photographer and Videographer Team?
We’re easy to laugh with, prepared for anything, and quietly dialed in when it matters most. After hundreds of elopements in every kind of weather and terrain, we know how to guide without forcing, capture without interrupting, and make space for a day that feels entirely yours.
Your Day, Your Way
We believe your elopement should feel personal, intentional, and full of meaning — not just for the photos, but for you. We help guide the experience so it reflects your pace, your priorities, and the kind of love you share.
Full Photo and Video Coverage
Every elopement package includes both elopement photos and cinematic elopement video, captured by a team that knows how to move with the moment — and with each other. So you can laugh, cry, and relive every second.
Support From Start to Finish
We’re here for more than the camera work. From elopement planning and choosing a location to building a timeline that flows naturally, we help make the whole experience easy, exciting, and all yours.
Space to Be Fully You
We welcome all love, all identities, and all stories — no exceptions. Your elopement should feel like you in every way, and that starts with a space where you’re seen, respected, and celebrated exactly as you are.
About The Crawfords
Helping couples ditch the pressure and get married their way since 2010.
We Eloped, Too!
We’re Vannessa and Coleman — a husband-and-wife elopement photographer and videographer team based in Washington.
We eloped, too. No big production, no expectations. Just us, nature, and a promise we’ll never forget. And since 2010, we’ve been helping other couples do the same.
We’ll never get tired of…
- Turning once-in-a-lifetime moments into something you can relive, over and over again
- Filming windblown hair, nervous laughter, and all the stuff you can’t plan for
- Helping couples pick places that feel like them — even if they’re miles off-grid
- Catching quiet glances that would’ve disappeared in a crowd
Whether we’re climbing a trail before sunrise or quietly documenting a tear-filled vow, we don’t take this work for granted. It’s personal for us. And we’re honored every time we get to help someone tell their story, their way.
