Hey you!
Let’s be honest, if you’ve found your way here, you undoubtedly love elopements and adventure just as much as we do! We want you to dream up your wildest elopement adventure. Because you deserve to celebrate your love with no limits and no boundaries in your outdoor experiences.
Who are we?
We are Vannessa and Coleman, the two-person photo + video team capturing your dream elopements and adventures! Whether we’re backpacking into a remote vista, climbing some Cascade peaks, or getting sandy on a coastal beach, say no more, we’re already in!
We have been capturing the most authentic and badass moments in peoples’ lives since 2010 and adore every minute of what we do. We can’t wait to bag a peak with you, hike to an awe-inspiring vista in your favorite national park, or pack up our crampons and ice axes for an alpine elopement expedition!
Mt Rainier Adventure Elopement Photographer & Videographer
“Vannessa and Coleman were absolutely fantastic! They were easy to work with and gave great advice from the beginning planning stages to the big day. We knew the photos and video would be great, but when we saw them they blew our minds, and everyone else who saw them. If you’re an adventurous couple looking for a photographer and videographer that can keep up and go beyond the expected, you must use Vannessa and coleman!”

Photo + Film
We are up for basically any elopement outdoors and are always interested in finding a new and wild view. Let us know where you want to go, and we’ll be there! We bring the gear, food, and fun, you bring yourselves!
We’ve been traveling around the United States trying to see all the adventurous and wild elopement areas we can, while taking some photographs of many amazing friends we’ve met along the way! We look forward to adventuring on (and off where allowed) some incredible elopement trails with you!
“We couldn’t be happier with the photos Coleman and Vannessa did for us at Mount Rainier. They were so easy and fun to work with, picked an absolutely beautiful spot, and took some stunning shots. Can’t wait for an excuse to work with them again soon!”
- Rosamond Smith
"We hired Vannessa and Coleman for our adventure engagement photos and then our adventure elopement. We wanted snowy mountain pictures and we got two very different locations and weather conditions, but each was uniquely beautiful in their own way. They really know how to take any weather condition and turn it into something gorgeous. They are extremely easy to work with and go above and beyond to make sure it is an enjoyable experience. I cannot recommend them enough; they are truly amazing!"

Other Adventures
FAMILY
One of the reasons we started our business, and a staple of what we enjoy doing, is to capture the special love of a family and how much fun they have together. Over the last decade, we have worked with thousands of families and honed in on adventure spots that work great for kiddos of all ages!
MATERNITY
As you near the exciting date, your due date, it’s important to capture the special moments before your new baby is born! We love photographing the warmth and glow of a soon-to-be mother. We have a variety of spectacular locations that are nice and close to a parking area so you won’t have to walk too far!
TRADITIONAL WEDDINGS
Your big day is here, and you’re getting married! What better way to celebrate and commemorate this momentous life event than by having it documented thoroughly? On the day you say “I do,” we document everything from the time you get ready through the final send-off as you two celebrate your new connection in marriage!
“We couldn’t be happier with the photos Coleman and Vannessa did for us at Mount Rainier. They were so easy and fun to work with, picked an absolutely beautiful spot, and took some stunning shots. We ordered prints through them and they look even better than we even imagined they could. Can’t wait for an excuse to work with them again soon!” – Rosamond S.
