 2024 & 2025 elopement photography packages in the US and Canada

  • Adventure weddings are a life changing experience unique to each and every couple. That means that a “one size fits all” approach to photo packages isn’t going to cut it. Your elopement photographer needs to be flexible enough to fit your needs and ensure your vision for the day comes to life. They also need to provide the help and guidance you need to have the best day of your life. And finally, the planning experience needs to be as stress free, and dare I say, fun, as possible. I’ve got you covered.

  • To start, my planning portal keeps all our messages, photo uploads, proposals, and information in one place. With 14 years experience and hundreds of elopements under my belt if you have a question I probably have the answer. If not, I’m always excited to research something new! Phone and video consultations are always available and free of charge. Leave the stress behind and let me assist in planning the big day from locations, to timelines, what to bring, and other vendor recommendations I can help! Location scouting, permit research, plan B’s all included!

  • Every couple you see on this site is a real wedding. No staged model shoots here. Most of these lovely folk went into their elopements worried they would be awkward in front of the camera. I take pride in my ability to make your shoot not only un-awkward, but capture the love you feel for each other and create romantic images that showcase the beauty of this world. Afterwards I carefully sift through each photo taken, removing duplicates, and ensuring every magical moment is saved. Then each photo gets fully and carefully edited till it is worthy of an art gallery.

  • The package prices listed below are the grand total. There are no additional travel expenses or hidden costs for your adventure wedding. So you won’t have to worry about changes in airfare or accommodations.

  • Want to split your coverage between sunrise and sunset? How about a sunset one day and a sunrise the next? Maybe you want to, or due to let's say wildfires, have to change locations? Date? No problem. As long as it doesn’t conflict with another booking we can change things up as needed. And as stated above, there are no additional fees.

  • I do not limit the number of images delivered, and each and every shot created is carefully edited to perfection then uploaded to your private online wedding gallery. Not for a limited time only, but forever. With unlimited downloads you and your family can download them right away, as well as in twenty years. There you will also be able to order prints from my favorite professional print lab. Have a favorite printer already? Not a problem. Print at your preferred photo lab and share your images to your heart's content. You have personal printing rights to all images. And finally all photographs are then delivered via USB drive.

Traveling Outside the US? International Elopement packages Starting at $5,000

I love to travel, its a big reason I became a destination wedding photographer. While many of my adventures happen within the US I have a passport and will travel. International elopements can be quite the adventure and require special planning. I’m here to help from location selection to planning events on the big day I’ll assist you to make sure your adventure abroad goes off without a hitch.

Backpacking elopement packages Starting at $5,000

Backpacking is pretty much my favorite thing ever. And every time I’m out there in the wilderness I can’t help but envision shooting some killer wedding photos at all the incredible scenes along my journey. If you want to have a wedding that is as unique and adventurous as you are this is the way to do it. Multi day excursions require a bit more planning and we’ll want to make sure we bring everything we need for your big day.

Alright, so which elopement photography package do you need?

Three hours, six hours, all day coverage? Just how much photography coverage do you need? When looking at wedding photography packages its understandable that most couples gravitate towards the shorter packages. Spending six hours in front of the camera may sound like a lot and if you were booking time in the photo studio I’d agree. But for adventure elopements and destination weddings time really does fly. Consider that we will not only will we be taking photos, but we will also be traveling from one location to the next, and then hiking out to our destinations. It’s not all just time in front of the camera.

So to figure out how much photo coverage you need in your photography package you’ll want to decide just how grand of an adventure you want to have. For every location you want to do photos at on the big day plan to be there for at least an hour, plus any hiking time to get there. Then add in the travel time between your locations. Finally pad it a little as traffic, untied hiking boots, or an incredible wildlife sighting can always slow you down a bit and you don’t want to feel rushed on your wedding day. With the rough itinerary in mind you can then see which package best fits your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Simply put an adventure elopement is a way to make your wedding vows that focuses on your personal experience, doing what you want, having a blast and all in a spectacular location. I use elopement to cover everything from true elopements involving just the two to you, to micro destination weddings with your closest friends and family.

  • Honestly this is probably the question I get asked the most and the answer is of course! In fact most of the couples you see on my website have said the exact same thing. The secret to getting great elopement photos is pretty cliche, “Just act natural!”. The thing is, it is far easier to forget the camera and act natural when you’re hiking down a trail through an old growth forest hoping to spot another Elk. Now maybe you’re still worried that even with the natural wonders around you’ll still be awkward. As your elopement photographer a big part of my job on the wedding day isn’t taking pictures but making sure you’re having fun, are relaxed, and enjoying your experience. And couples constantly are surprised at just how relaxed they were and how much fun they had doing photos. Now if you do put your hand in an awkward pose or need a little posing help I’m there to guide you and make sure you’re looking your best.

  • I offer several elopement guides and pages on having the best experience and I’m always happy to help with recommendations or advice on your plans. From what time of day is best for a given photo location to what route will hit the best spots on the wedding day I’m there. But I’m not an actual wedding planner. If you feel like you need a little more help with getting everything booked I highly recommend hiring one!

  • No! Friends, Family and Doggos are more than welcome! Some national parks do restrict the number of guests for ceremonies depending on the location. But other than that bring the guests! I will say there is something extra special when it is just the two of you and it gives you the ultimate freedom in planning and location selection.

  • The average cost for an adventure elopement is around $5,000-$15,000. A good chunk of that will be your elopement photographer, videographer, makeup artist and other wedding vendors. And then the rest will be Flights, Hotels, rental cars, wedding attire, food and any activities you have planned. A good way to save a little money is to elope to where you want to Honeymoon.

  • Most of the elopements I do are in or around the National Parks where good weather is not a given. And nearly all of the wedding day will be spent outside so bad weather can be quite the problem. To tackle that, first I recommend planning your elopement with weather in mind. If eloping to the rainforests of Olympic National park pick a time of year when you are more likely to avoid rain. But the best of plans can still go awry and for that you I highly recommend rolling with it. Some of my favorite elopements have involved us getting caught in the rain or a freak snow storm. But sometimes the weather is just too bad to work with. Wildfires, winter storms, and other major events can sometimes close the park. For those times I am as flexible as possible. Working around my other bookings we can change the location, date and time as needed so long as it doesn’t conflict with my other bookings.

  • Some elopement photographers like to guarantee a photo count but I find that often results in you either getting a ton of photos you don’t really want or you never get to see some of the shots that were taken. I include most non duplicate shots I take during your elopement so the number of photos varies wildly from wedding to wedding depending on how long we shot and what we did. A rough average across my coverage options is 300 photos.

  • I absolutely love the great outdoors. Hiking, backpacking, bikepacking, camping. I do it all as often as possible. So one of the things I love the most about doing elopements is guiding couples into the wilderness for their big day., Especially if it’s their first time at a location. Seeing someone's face light up when they see a giant sequoia for the first time is priceless. So if you want to go off the beaten path and backpack into the sierra’s for a backcountry wedding like no other I’m more than happy to help you plan it!
