“Sam and Kyle are not just photographers. They really help construct a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They created a day for us that was beyond magical. It was a day of intention, thoughtfulness, presence and all good energy and that was 100% because of them and their planning and preparation.”

Meet your adventure elopement photographers

We’re Sam + Kyle, a married photography team based in the PNW and fellow elope-ees!

We know exactly how it feels to want a day that’s intentional, but not quite knowing where to start.

When we eloped there weren’t any real resources for couples who didn’t see their values reflected back in the wedding industry.

Since then, we’ve built a business that specializes in adventure elopements, and helped couples plan unique days in beautiful places.

From choosing the perfect spot to the paperwork, we’re stoked to share everything we wish someone had told us.

Our philosophy: Beautiful photos come from a damn good time, so we prioritize your experience above everything.

But can we be vulnerable for sec?

When we eloped, we didn’t have someone on our team to help us build a vision, prioritize our experience, or document those memories.

That’s our only regret

-and honestly, we want more for you

  • We want you to feel the joy we did when we renewed our vows and prioritized intentionality and our experience.
  • We want you to feel the excitement of planning this adventure.
  • When you look back at your photos, we want you to remember how it felt, adventuring in an epic landscape with the person you love the most.

“They made our elopement day so easy, stress-free, and fun. I felt completely in the moment and would not change a thing.”-Jillian

Frequently asked questions about Adventure elopements

What is an Adventure elopement?

An adventure elopement is an intentional way of getting married—focused entirely on your experience, your connection, and your version of adventure. It doesn’t have to mean summiting mountains at sunrise or trekking deep into the backcountry (though it totally can). It’s about choosing a place and experience that feels like you. Whether that’s reading your vows in a mossy old-growth forest, on a windy coastal cliff, or by a quiet alpine lake, the magic of an adventure elopement is that it’s deeply personal, wildly freeing, and centered on what truly matters.

How far in advance should I book an elopement photographer?

For a chill and truly intentional planning process, we recommend booking at least 6 months to a year in advance—this gives you the best access to locations, vendors, and permits. That said, we’ve helped couples pull off stunning elopements in as little as two weeks—but with a few trade-offs.

Can you have guests at your elopement?

YES! Adventure elopements can include guests—but we always encourage couples to keep the ceremony group intimate (around 12-15 people max). This helps protect public lands and keeps the focus on your experience.

Couples with a larger guest count often choose to have a handful of loved ones at the ceremony, then celebrate with a larger group at their lodging afterward.

Some also decide to split their celebration into two days—one just for them, one with family & friends. Your elopement should feel intentional and meaningful—so whether it’s just the two of you or includes your closest people, we’ll help you craft a day that honors your love your way.
