Backcountry Portraits

Hey there! We're Leti and Stefan Olson, a husband and wife photography team based in Utah – just a laid-back couple who adore the outdoors and are passionate about adventure-packed weddings.

We specialize in crafting and documenting nature-inspired adventure weddings. Our focus is on creating intimate experiences for nontraditional couples who seek a deeper connection with nature while minimizing their environmental footprint.

Beyond capturing every second of your wedding day, we're your partners from start to finish.

We’re not only your photographers; we’re also your elopement planner, support team, local guides, and ceremony officiants. As Utah locals for more than a decade, we're excited to share the most beautiful places we've discovered after years of exploring the backroads. We live in a mountain town called Park City, our basecamp. Yet, we're always on the move, exploring for destination weddings across Wyoming, Montana, Southern Utah and all over the West.

We're here to ensure your wedding day is stress-free and reflects your genuine self.

Join the countless couples who have already experienced a stress-free wedding day with us.

    "My new husband and I cannot sing the praises of Stefan and Leti enough!!!!! We loved the idea of having 2 photographers and the fact that they are husband and wife was the icing on the cake!!!! Within minutes of our first meeting, we knew that they were the right choice for our special day! They had fantastic ideas and did incredible acrobatics to ensure the best possible views to capture our magical day! We cannot imagine any better experience and will hopefully get to see them again the next time we have a celebration to capture!❤️"

    "Stefan and Leti and Backcountry Portraits have been absolutely awesome to work with!

    We did our engagement pictures with them and not only did they have some truly scenic and beautiful natural places picked out, but the way in which they captured the shots and how they got our organic feelings and moments were photos that we hadn't seen from any other photographer's portfolios.

    They worked extremely well as a team to capture unique moments and bounce ideas not only off of each other, but us as well.

    They are very professional and you will know by the first shot taken that they are going to do their absolute best to make sure they captured and shoot as many photos and locations to make you happy and give you plenty of options. They went above and beyond that we hadn't heard of other photographers doing.

    We loved their pictures so much that we also had them do our wedding. "

    "Leti & Stefan were extremely pleasant and friendly to work with and we all had a blast doing the photos. By having a husband and wife duo team I felt I had more than enough photographs taken during the ceremony and after, during the photo shoots. We received our photos and were extremely happy with how well they turned out!! They captured my ideal wedding weekend perfectly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional photographers and will for sure use them for future life event photo shoots."
