Hello and welcome!
We are Vannessa and Coleman, your two-person photo-and-video dream team here to document your epic elopement. Whether that means backpacking into a remote alpine vista, summiting a Cascade peak, or kicking off your shoes for a sunset walk on the coast, we are already in and counting down the days to adventure with you.
We have been capturing life’s most unforgettable moments together since 2011, and we truly love every second of what we do. Over the years, we have found some incredible hidden-gem locations, but we are just as excited to discover brand-new spots with you.
At the heart of it all, we believe your elopement day should be 100 percent yours. No rules, no pressure, just your love story told your way. Our job is to document the experience through photography and videography so you can relive every moment for years to come. Photos preserve the beauty and emotion in a single frame, but video lets you hear the crack in your partner’s voice during vows, the laughter between adventures, and the sound of the wind in the mountains. Together, they tell the full story, exactly how it felt.
So… how does this work?Your journey with us starts the moment you reach out. We will schedule a video call so we can meet face-to-face, swap stories, and start dreaming up your perfect day together. We talk about everything from the number of guests to the trails you want to explore to (most importantly) what snacks you are bringing. Snacks are non-negotiable!
During this call, we will create a custom elopement timeline that maps out your entire day, from the moment you hop in the car to go say your vows, all the way to when you are driving back, blissfully married, happy-tired, and full of incredible memories.

If you already have a location in mind, we are always thrilled to explore somewhere new with you. Once we are officially in adventure mode together, you will hear from us often. We will be in touch about weather updates, outfit ideas, gear tips, and anything else that makes your day unforgettable.
This is your love story. We are here to help you tell it, in both photographs and film, so you can hold onto not just the way it looked, but the way it felt.
