Elopement Photography and Videography Packages

You don’t need a ballroom to get married. You need a plan that feels like you — messy boots, wind in your hair, maybe a first dance at 10,000 feet. Our photography and videography packages are made for couples who want more than a moment captured. You want your moment captured, your way.

What’s Included in Every Elopement Experience

Eloping in the wild is about being fully present — taking it all in, soaking up the moment, and doing things your way.

From the first “what if?” to the big “I do”, we’re right there with you. We’ll help you plan and capture an elopement that feels natural, unforced, and unforgettable.

Every elopement experience with us includes:

Full-Day Photo + Video, Together

Photography and videography captured as one seamless story — so your photos and film never contradict each other.

Professional Sound Recording

Hear your vows, laughter, and quiet in-between moments exactly as they happened.

Drone Photo + Video Coverage

Where permitted, aerial footage captures the true scale and beauty of your surroundings.

Officiant + Witness Included

Making it simple to focus on the moment, without extra logistics to coordinate.

Ceremony Livestreaming

Even in remote locations when possible, so loved ones can be part of your day from wherever they are.

From well-loved classics to places most people never find — our ever-growing list is yours to explore.

Custom Timelines + Adventure Ideas

Built around your pace and what feels right to you — no cookie-cutter schedules.

Real Plans. Real People. Real Memories.

Some couples hike five miles to say their vows beside a glacial lake. Others sip coffee on a cabin deck, share card games, or kayak to their ceremony spot. There’s no one way to elope — because there’s no one way to love.

We help shape the flow of your day with a custom timeline built around what matters to you. Whether it’s a slow morning or a summit dance party, we’ll be there with cameras, snacks, and your first-dance song downloaded just in case. This is photo and video coverage that moves with you, protects your peace, and helps you stay fully present.

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 event 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.

That’s why we eloped, too.

Which one 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

What’s Always Included

No matter the session, our packages always includes:

Planning guidance based on location and conditions

Coverage built around movement and real moments

Professionally edited images and films

Online galleries for easy viewing and sharing

A relaxed, supportive experience from start to finish

Why Choose The Crawfords?

Because you deserve more than a camera lens.

You deserve people who are all in for your story, from the first spark of an idea to the last laugh of the day.

We’re your photo and video duo, planning partners, timeline builders, hype team, and the ones carrying your snacks up the mountain. We know what this day means, and we’re here to capture it authentically.

Built Around You

Your elopement shouldn’t feel like anyone else’s — because it’s not. We’ll help you create a day that moves at your pace, reflects your relationship, and makes space for real moments, not forced ones.

Photo and Video, Working Together

You shouldn’t have to choose between great photos and a meaningful film — or juggle separate teams to get both. We shoot everything side by side. That means no awkward overlap and no one missing the moment.

Built for the Wild

Trailhead ceremonies. Changing light. Unpredictable weather. That’s our zone. Whether you’re eloping in the Cascades or across the world, we’re experienced, LNT-aware, and ready to adapt to whatever your day brings.

Grounded, Inclusive, Always Present

We create space for you to show up as you are. Whether your elopement is bold, quiet, silly, sacred, or all of the above, we’re here to witness it fully and document it with care.

What People Are Saying

We’ve climbed cliffs, crossed rivers, and cried happy tears with the couples we work with. And the best part? They keep telling us the same thing: They’d do it all again in a heartbeat.

Here’s what a few of our favorite couples had to say about their experience.

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!

“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!”

– Sean and Laura

Our experience was amazing and our photos are absolutely breathtaking!!

“Vannessa and Coleman are the ultimate adventure elopement duo! They researched and then traveled to Iceland ahead of my husband and I to scope out the best spots to photograph our elopement. Our experience was amazing and our photos are absolutely breathtaking!! Our friends and family were shocked by the beauty of our photos and they brought tears to our eyes. I can’t recommend them enough; they are the absolute best at what they do.”

– Veronica & Ty

hey really know how to take any weather condition and turn it into something gorgeous.

“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!”

– Kim H.

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

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Elopement Photography and Videography

How much do your elopement photography and elopement videography packages cost?

Elopement pricing starts at $4,200 for the offseason and $6,200 during peak season. Final pricing depends on location, coverage needs, and travel. Every package includes elopement photography, elopement videography, drone footage (when allowed), and officiating support.

Do you include video in all your elopement photography packages?

Absolutely. We believe video is just as important as photos. That’s why all of our elopement packages include both. Your film brings back voices, movement, and emotion that photos can’t fully hold. You don’t have to choose.

Where do you shoot elopements?

We’re based in Washington but travel all over. We photograph Washington elopements, international elopements, and just about everything in between. There’s nowhere too far, too wild, or too weird.

What’s included in your elopement planning services?

From location scouting to timeline building, permit help to packing lists, we can do it all. We’ll guide you through every step and make sure you don’t have to think about logistics on the day itself. You just show up and get married your way.

How far in advance should we book?

Some outdoor elopement locations require permits 4–6 months in advance, but we’ve also helped couples elope in under 2 weeks! Reach out when the idea starts whispering, and we’ll take it from there.
