Vendor recommendations - If you’re still building your circle, I’m happy to share my curated list of local experts who value presence and intentionality just as much as you do.
Cinematic Photo and/or Video coverage - We prioritize unscripted emotion over staged performance. We provide an archive that holds the true spirit of your adventure.
Bespoke Location Curation - Helping you uncover a secluded frontiers, so you don't have to worry about crowded overlooks or shared horizons. We know all of the best spots!
Atmospheric Timeline Design - Ensuring the day moves at the speed of your own story so you can focus on being present rather than the hands of a clock.
Backcountry Stewardship & Permitting - Helping you navigate the logistics of rugged terrain and park regulations, so you don't have to worry about the fine print of the wilderness.
We are happy to provide a backup date ahead of time in case of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances upon request. Sometimes it's just a matter of shifting around our timeline for the day, and other times we can reschedule your bride and groom portraits. We do not charge rescheduling fees and will always do our best in order to find an alternative date that works within your elopement or wedding vacation schedule. *postponing weeks or months away, may be subject to a rescheduling fee*
What's your plan for unforeseen circumstances (e.g., weather)??
01.
First I look forward to getting to know you both and building a connection based on trust, respect, and hopefully some shared laughs. From there, I will ask all of the right questions in order to determine what the perfect elopement or wedding day looks like for you. We will then sort out all of the logistics create a timeline, and hire any additional vendors needed before you finally say your "i Do's".
What is your approach to planning and coordinating the day-of logistics for our elopement?
03.
As per our contract, we will have your videos and/or photo galleries delivered within no more than 120 days (4 months). That being said, we always do our best to return your videos/images in a timely manner. We work as fast as we can (without sacrificing quality!) as we understand your excitement to re-live your special day!
What is your typical turnaround time for delivering the final photos/videos?
05.
Absolutely! We are happy to arrange an engagement shoot for you leading up to your big day. Furthermore, we also offer golden hour sessions at sunrise and sunset. These are great if you have limited time on your day to travel (or hike!) to an extra special location and take full advantage of the morning/evening glow!
Do you offer engagement sessions or pre-wedding shoots?

The 12+hr elopement package
- Ana + Shane
"I have to admit that my husband and I are a bit shy, and knowing that photos and videos would be taken at our wedding made me a little nervous, but Matt guided us throughout and made us feel comfortable with his friendly attitude. Our video and photos turned out wonderful, and now we have that special day captured forever. He was extremely professional at all times, and the communication before the wedding was excellent. We couldn’t recommend Matt more."
