Pricing & information

an intentional experience that you'll forever cherish.

AN adventure LIKE NEVER BEFORE. . .

We believe every couple deserves an experience that is tailored to their vision and unique personalities. An adventure that is a pure reflection of the connection they share. A day that gives them the freedom to be present and savor every emotional moment.

As destination elopement photographers, We love working with couples like the two of you! You kicked tradition to the curb and instead chose to pursue an intimate and epic experience in a beautiful landscape. An adventure that will leave you with incredible memories going into a lifelong marriage. The possibilities are endless!

We understand that every couple’s values and vision are unique. Nothing about your love is formulaic, therefore we value creating personal relationships with our couples and tailoring each elopement we plan to their vision and values. That said, the following information forms the foundation of our approach.

But that’s just the thing, the possibilities are endless. Now that you’ve decided to elope, you somehow have even more decisions to make.

it's Time that we got introduced...

WE’RE ETHAN & ABBY! adventure elopement photographers and planners.

WE’RE ETHAN & ABBY! husband
and Wife adventure elopement photographers & planners.

We’re elopement photographers and a husband and wife team who help down-to-earth couples from all around the States seamlessly plan the unforgettable wedding experience of their dreams.

We were once in the same shoes that you are in now. we ditched a traditional, southern wedding and eloped on the west coast!

The result? A wedding day that was filled with adventure, fulfillment, love, unforgettable memories we will never forget, and photographs that we can cherish for a life-long marriage. 

A good photograph has the power to stand against the test of time. Photographs can tell a story that rekindles the memories you never want to forget. But, it takes more than a camera - it takes an eye drawn to truth and an atmosphere that encourages emotion and embraces connection. 

We're not those kind of transactional photographers who show up, suggests a few stock poses, clicks the shutter, and then goes home. We love to get to know our couples on a deeper level and to share in the excitement of their union. 

That’s why I've made it my mission to be fully there for my couples, guiding them every step of the way. Guiding, cheering, adventuring. Turning every raw, beautiful, and unfiltered moment of the day into stories preserved to live through love time and time again. Images full of life that bring tears when they look back at them years down the road.

"ETHAN DID NOT INTERRUPT THE EMOTIONAL OR INTIMATE PARTS OF THE DAY TO STAGE A PHOTOGRAPH - BUT RATHER CAPTURED THOSE MOMENTS BY LETTING THE DAY FLOW NATURALLY."


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 a team of expert elopement planners and adventure enthusiasts who will help you:

Identifying your goals and vision is one of the most crucial steps in planning an elopement. During our discovery call together, we’ll cover your likes and dislikes, how you want the day to feel, and what you want to experience. This puts us in the best position possible to make sure we are able to seamlessly achieve your vision in its fullest form. 
We’ll 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. We’ll also create an itinerary and timeline for the day and fill it full of activities and fun adventures.

IDENTIFY YOUR ELOPEMENT GOALS:

PICK LOCATIONS & BUILD OUT YOUR ITINERARY:

SECURE ANY AND ALL REQUIRED PERMITS:

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 paperwork has been taken care of.

IDENTIFY YOUR  GOALS:

SECURE ANY and All PERMITS REQUIRED:

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.
MY PROMISE TO YOU:

Sounds Too Good To Be True?

Preserving your memories to last a lifetime.

We are firm believers that your images shouldn't stay on a thumb drive, growing up over the years to remain as JPEG digital files. That's why we offer each couple the opportunity to receive their very own custom heirloom album!

These heirlooms are designed to preserve your memories to stand against the test of time. These albums are the best way to elevate your viewing experience and preserve your memories. Featuring award winning papers, and numerous customization options, these albums take your story to new heights. With the help of our designer, we'll create an album that beautifully displays your love story and deliver it to your door with love.
