"BROUGHT BACK ALL THE TEARS"
Ethan & Abby are absolutely amazing at what they do! I loved the amount of communication they had with us so that they could make sure our elopement was exactly how we wanted it to be. They made sure to let us know the plan (that we had talked about many times prior to the big day) and they got straight to work. They are life-savers! They were always willing to jump in and help me make sure that everything was perfect. When we got our gallery back, it brought back all of the feels, jitters, and tears. The images took us right back to the day that we said "I do." When I say that we not only received amazing pictures, but also new friends - I mean it. Booking with them was one of the best decisions we made!

"IT WAS AMAZING"
Ethan & Abby were an absolute delight! From the initial phone call meeting to our first face to face, it was such a smooth and enjoyable ride. In our initial phone call they were very descriptive in what they offered and what they could provide us, but also wanted to know what WE wanted and how they could best serve us. That is where I was sold. They are very skilled, professional and easy to work with. It was amazing to have them as apart of our day. They was very accommodating and worked well with other vendors we hired. I can’t say enough about how great our experience was!

Whatever your vision is, WE'll HELP YOU seamlessly PLAN AN ELOPEMENT THAT SETS YOUR
HEARTS ON FIRE!
Planning an elopement can be a hell of a ride, so through thick and thin, we will take the stress off of your shoulders and do the majority of the planning for you. From the moment we start working together, you'll have two expert elopement planners and adventure enthusiasts who will help you:
This is the first and most crucial step in planning an elopement. That’s why during our initial Zoom discovery call together, we’ll cover your likes and dislikes, how you want the day to feel, what you want to experience, and so much more. This helps you make an informed decision and ensures that we start our time together with the right foot forward!
After you say, “YES!” and officially book us as your photographers and planners, we will send you our elopement planning questionnaire. This questionnaire asks all of the right questions to ensure that we have everything we need to start planning on your behalf. This puts us in the best position possible to help you seamlessly achieve your vision, reducing stress and helping you avoid planning overwhelm!

Assistance With Finding And Picking Locations:
Itinerary Building & Coordinating:
Help Securing Any & All Required Permits:
We’ll create an itinerary and timeline for the day and fill it with activities, downtime, and fun adventures that align with your goals, vision, and values. This is a great way to enhance the intimacy and beauty of your elopement without having to figure out all of the logistics and work out the timing yourself.
Many of the places you can elope at require some sort of permit. Finding this information and applying for the permits can be hard, so we’ll take it off of your plate and help you obtain all of the required permits. This way you can sit back, relax, and know all of the legal paperwork has been properly taken care of.
Finding and picking the right locations that resonate with your vision and preferences is one of the hardest parts of planning. That’s why we’ll use our expert knowledge of the area and create a list of the best views and hidden gems for your portraits and your vow exchange in your chosen destination. All you have to do is pick the ones that best resonate with you - easy peasy!

Whatever your vision is, WE'll HELP YOU seamlessly
PLAN AN ELOPEMENT THAT SETS YOUR HEARTS ON FIRE!
THEN THIS WILL REALLY
BLOW YOUR MIND.
Five to seven days after your elopement, we’ll deliver a teaser gallery of 50 to 75 edited images to you. Most other photographers only include a handful of images in their teaser galleries. You’ll have immediate access to download your images to your phone and share them online. This means that all your loved ones back home will be able to relive your day and ride that, "just married high" alongside you.

"They exceeded Our expectations."
When searching for our photographers, we wanted people we could really connect with and would make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I had very little experience being photographed so this was a big anxiety inducer for us! Ethan & Abby absolutely exceeded all our expectations. They immediately clicked with us, provided us with easy to follow and clear communication and captured pure, authentic, beautiful moments from our day. I’ll never forget when we left and my husband said “Wow! That was actually fun!” I can’t thank them enough for the amazing experience we had! 5 stars is not even enough!

"IT WAS AMAZING"
The second I got engaged I knew I wanted Ethan & Abby to do our photos. When I say it was the best time ever, I actually mean that everyone should RUN to book him! My husband and I were on a high for weeks about our photos! We are so proud of them and can't stop showing everyone! It was felt like such a relaxing experience and Ethan was so accommodating for every little thing. Basically, if you are on the fence, don't be. You won't regret having Ethan & Abby be apart of your elopement experience!!
