Let's Tell Your Wildly-in-Love Story
Ditch the Rulebook. Elope Your Way.
Photos and videos for couples who’d rather hike a mountain than walk down an aisle. We’re the Crawfords, your adventure elopement photographer. We capture every wild, windswept, and wildly you moment between you and your partner. No pressure or awkward posing. Just real connection in beautiful locations.
For the Love of the Untraditional.
You don’t want a huge wedding. Not because you don’t care — but because you do. You care about each other. About shared moments, not staged ones. About feeling present, not performing.
You want a wedding day that’s honest, beautiful, and totally you.
The Crawfords Photography is your husband-and-wife photography duo specializing in capturing real love stories in wild places through both beautiful, candid photography and videography.
Your Wedding Day is About You.
Eloping isn’t a backup plan. It’s a bold, beautiful decision to prioritize meaning over tradition. No stress. No guest list politics. No fake moments. Just the two of you (and maybe a few close people), surrounded by something as vast as your love for one another.
When you elope with The Crawfords Photography, you get:
- Help deciding the who, what, where, and when (you already know the why)
- Built-in planning support, timeline help, and location scouting
- Clothing specifics, from wedding day attire to adventure gear recommendations
- Legal logistics (AKA how to actually get married)
- Gorgeous photo and video coverage that feels like you
- Space to breathe, laugh, cry, and actually love your day
One Team. One Story. Seamless Photo + Video.
You shouldn’t have to choose between great photos and a stunning film. And you definitely shouldn’t have to juggle two separate vendors. We work as a creative duo, capturing your day in sync, with one shared vision and zero extra stress.
We love working with couples who say things like:
- “We’re awkward in front of the camera.”
- “Can we skip the staged stuff?”
- “We want this to feel natural.”
Good news: you’re in the right place.
We’ll guide you gently when needed, then step back to let the magic happen — quiet moments, messy laughter, spontaneous dances, all of it.
You two be yourselves. We’ll handle the rest.
Eloping in the Pacific Northwest (or Beyond)?
We’re based in the Pacific Northwest and know these landscapes like the back of our hands, but we’re always down to travel.
Some of our favorite spots:
- Mt. Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades National Parks
- Oregon Coast, Columbia River Gorge, and Crater Lake
- Northern Idaho forests and lakes
- Yosemite, Moab
We’ll help with everything from permit research and packing lists to scouting that beautiful cliffside or cozy forest trail. Wherever you’re headed, we’re here to help you get there.

Now Booking Summer Elopements!
Summer is one of the most breathtaking seasons to elope in the Pacific Northwest — longer days, open alpine trails, and wildflower blooms that only last a few short weeks in July and early August.
We’re currently booking elopements for July through September and would love to help you plan a warm, golden-hour celebration in your dream location.
