The part most couples don’t expect

You Don’t Have to Hire Two Vendors

Most couples planning an adventure elopement start by looking for a photographer, then realize they want film too, and end up trying to hire, coordinate, and pay two separate teams who have never met.

We’re both. We shoot the same day side by side, which means no awkward overlap, nobody stepping into the other’s frame, and one gallery and one film that tell the same story instead of contradicting each other.

The two people you’d be hiking with

We Eloped, Too

We’re Vannessa and Coleman, a husband-and-wife photographer and videographer team based in the Pacific Northwest. We eloped ourselves. No big production, no expectations, just us and a promise we’ll never forget. Since 2010 we’ve been helping other couples do the same.

Most of our couples fly in from somewhere else, or fly us out to meet them, so we’ve gotten good at the parts that make a trip feel easy: which trailhead actually has parking before sunrise, where the fog sits on the ridge in June, which permit office to call and when.

We’ll never get tired of…

Where couples elope with us

Mountain and National Park Elopements We Know By Heart

You don’t need to know where yet. But if one of these is already in your head, we know the light, we know the trail, and we know what the permit office will ask.

Mount Rainier National Park

Wildflower meadows in July, Tatoosh ridgelines, and the sunrise light that turns the whole mountain pink. Our most requested location, and the one we shoot most often.

Olympic National Park

Three parks in one. Fog off the Hoh rainforest, sea stacks on the coast, and alpine views from Hurricane Ridge, all reachable in a single day.

North Cascades

Granite, glaciers, and turquoise lakes. Big, quiet, and every bit as dramatic as the famous spots, with a fraction of the crowd.

Grand Teton National Park

Granite that rises straight off the valley floor with no foothills in the way, and alpine lakes at the base of it. On our calendar in June and August.

Glacier National Park

Turquoise lakes, hanging valleys, and the Going-to-the-Sun corridor. A short, spectacular season we plan around every July.

Colorado Rockies

High alpine basins and aspen stands, reachable without a long approach, and the reason we open our season there every May.

Sedona, the Redwoods, Iceland, or somewhere nobody has shot yet? We travel year-round. Have a look at where we’re already headed.

Already on the calendar

Where We’re Headed This Year

We do destination elopement photography and videography year-round, and we’re always down to explore somewhere new. If your date lines up with a trip we have already planned, there are no travel fees at all.

What Our Couples Say

If you’re still deciding

Elopements VS Traditional Weddings

Eloping isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about investing in what actually matters to you.

When you plan a traditional wedding, most of your energy and budget goes into entertaining 100+ guests, coordinating vendors, and navigating a full-day schedule that might not even feel like you.

But an elopement? It’s presence. It’s privacy. It’s waking up slowly, hiking into the wild, saying your vows with wind in your hair, and knowing the only expectations in the room are your own.

The costs are different because the focus is different. And if you ask us, that’s a beautiful thing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adventure Elopements

How much does an all-inclusive adventure elopement cost?

Our elopement experiences start at $6,900 in the offseason (November–April) and $8,900 in peak season (May–October). Final pricing depends on your location, how much coverage you need, and travel. Every experience includes elopement photography, elopement videography, planning support, officiating, drone coverage where permitted, and travel within the Pacific Northwest or anywhere on our travel schedule.

Always included. We’re a photographer and videographer team and both of us are there for the whole day. You get a hand-edited gallery and a cinematic film from the same day, and you won’t be coordinating two separate vendors who have never worked together.

That’s most of our couples. We help with location scouting, permits, timelines, accommodations research, and the logistics of eloping somewhere you’ve never been. You don’t need to have anything figured out before you reach out.

Usually, yes. Mount Rainier, Olympic, Grand Teton, Glacier and most other public lands require a special use permit for ceremonies, and the popular spots book out well ahead. If your location needs one, we’ll handle the research and walk you through the application.

In the Pacific Northwest, it might. Some of our favorite galleries came from grey, foggy, drizzly days. We plan for weather, we bring backups, and we’ll never let a forecast be the reason your day feels ruined.

Peak season dates in the national parks go first, and permits add their own timeline on top. If you have a season in mind, reaching out early gives you the most options.
