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.
- One team, one timeline, one invoice
- Professional sound recording, so you can hear your vows and not just watch them
- Drone photo and video coverage where permits allow
- A hand-edited gallery and a cinematic elopement film from the same day
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…
- 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 have disappeared in a crowd

What Our Couples Say
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!
Our experience was amazing and our photos are absolutely breathtaking!!
hey really know how to take any weather condition and turn it into something gorgeous.
a very smooth, natural feeling day with 2 of the nicest, best people
“Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day. Planning with Vannessa and Coleman was incredibly smooth and easy. Our ideal ceremony location was no longer available to the public, and they quickly had other recommended spots with just as incredible, if not better views! And it was right down the road from our original spot, allowing us to still get pictures at the lake! On the day of the wedding, they were timely and organized in a manner that kept the day moving, without feeling like we had to move on and get the next pictures. It was a very smooth, natural feeling day with 2 of the nicest, best people you could ever be lucky enough to meet. If you’re planning an elopement wedding of any kind, I would not go anywhere else! Vannessa and Coleman are the best!”
– Tristen and Kayla

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.
Which sounds more like you? | Elopements | Traditional Weddings |
|---|---|---|
Average cost | $5k–$15k | $30k–$50k+ |
Guest count | Just you or a few | 50–200+ |
Planning stress | Low | High |
Timeline | Flexible | Rigid |
Location | Anywhere | Limited |
Honeymoon | Built in | Separate |
Focus | You | Everyone else |

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.
Is video always included, or is it an add-on?
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.
We’re flying in from out of state. Can you help us plan the whole thing?
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.
Do we need a permit to elope in a national park?
What if it rains?
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.
How far in advance should we book?
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.
