The Elopement

experience with us

It goes beyond epic photos in beautiful places.

3 Reasons

we believe in elopements

01

Creating a core memory together formed out of connecting in a way that has always brought you two together, naturally.

 

02

The most impactful moments in our lives are when we choose to walk the path that is most true to who we are.

03

Eloping truly honors the commitment you are sharing with each other on your wedding by being a reflection of it.

Imagine a wedding day not bound by the color of table linens and seating charts, but a day crafted out of freedom in expression for your adventurous souls.

“Traci and Bill are both so warm and genuine.”

So who are we?

What is it like

to work with Adventure + Vow?

Choosing your elopement photography team is one of the most important choices you will make when planning your elopement day. Why is this so important?

Our couple couldn’t have said it better here: 

As an eloping couple, you’ll be spending more of your special day with your photographers than you will with anyone else. You want things to be completely comfortable so you can be completely present with your partner on your special day. For us, Traci and Bill were more than just our photographers that day: they were out hiking buddies, keeping us company and in good spirits all the way through our ambitious 19 mile journey. They were our (much needed) extra pair of hands for all the little things, like buttoning up the back of a wedding dress, or carrying the train, or fluffing it just right for a photo; finally, they were our very own cheerleaders, cementing our special moments with warm words of encouragement.” – James + Michele 

Our process with couples is very “hands on” as we really enjoy getting to know our couples during the planning stage of an elopement. This helps us tell your story authentically through imagery, but also just makes the entire process easier, more fun and creates a trusting bond. On the elopement day itself, we are literally hands on, here to help however we can to make sure you have the best elopement day possible!

Why bring us along

for the adventure?

There are a few things we stand for that truly is embedded into the philosophy of Adventure and Vow and how we work with our couples:

We are not just photographers.

We are dreamers, adventurers and some pretty epic logistic wranglers.

“We were instantly at ease with Traci and Bill.”

Adventure Elopement Packages

designed with experience in mind

What are you looking for in an elopement package? 

Our packages were built with you in mind – your adventure, your story and your experience. This starts with us getting to know you two!

Our elopement packages are centered around adventure – from climbing, hiking, off roading, star gazing and more! We know how quickly the wedding day goes by and how you do not want to rush through the day, but savor every moment together. 

Our packages are also laid out to make sure there is enough time for us to also create images that reflect perfectly who you are as a person + a couple. More time gives us time to also push creativity within telling your story. 

Don’t take it from us, take it from our past couples! 

“We felt as though we were with long time friends. They gave us the space and privacy we desired during our intimate ceremony.”

“Traci and Bill are both so warm and genuine, there is no doubt that they truly want to get to know you as a couple and help you create an elopement experience that is truly authentic to your relationship.”

“And the final products… our highlight video and gallery were both breathtaking. They captured every moment of our day so perfectly… the artistic vision behind each image and the way Bill wove our personal vows together in our video… we don’t have the words to describe how incredible it is.”

Kind words

from our couples

The day of our elopement was an absolute DREAM. Traci made sure that we did every single one of the activities on our list, without making us feel rushed at any point in time. They gave us the space and freedom to truly enjoy every moment of our day together (both spontaneous and planned).

Traci and Bill are truly a power couple (I swear they can read each other's minds)... they work together seamlessly to capture every candid and intimate moment without anything feeling staged or overdone.

- Monica + Sam -
“PERFECT. That’s the first word that comes to mind when my partner and I reflect on our adventure elopement. And with Traci and Bill, we couldn’t have asked for two better people to help us make that happen.

Traci and Bill were more than just our photographers that day: they were our hiking buddies, keeping us company and in good spirits all the way through our ambitious 19 mile journey; they made sure we never got off path (especially at night!) and reassuring us about time (which was never a worry due to Traci’s meticulous planning and timeline); they were our extra pair of hands for all the little things, like buttoning up the back of a wedding dress, or carrying the train, or fluffing it just right for a photo; finally, they were our very own cheerleaders, cementing our special moments with warm words, encouragement, and congratulations.

We couldn’t be more thankful to have had Traci and Bill with us, and we genuinely feel they played a huge part in making our special day what it was. If you’ve made it this far, what are you waiting for?!
Go book them now before their schedule fills up!!

- Michele + James -
They handled so many details that we would have never thought to consider. We are beyond happy with their work! Their teamwork was incredible Traci captured photos I thought were only in fairytales and Bill performed a ceremony for us that exceeded our own idea of perfect. They scouted sites and led us on the most incredible hike we could’ve imagined.

As if their professionalism wasn’t enough they genuinely are a great couple to hang out with. They made our wedding day more than we could’ve ever imagined and we left with stories to tell for a lifetime. Thank you, thank you Adventure and Vow! Truly the best!

- Tory + Samantha -
Is there a sixth star to award? The experience, the professionalism, the artistry, the kindness, the fun…Traci and Bill were exceptional from start to finish. They helped us plan an incredible day, recommending incredible trails near Mt. Rainier based on our wish list for an adventure photo setting and scouting them to make sure they were perfect and accessible. They gave gentle and respectful tips that made our day run smoothly and with less stress.

We thought we knew from their blog how technically skilled Traci and Bill were, but we didn’t really understand until we saw just how perfectly they captured the magic of an unforgettable time. We’re talking jaw-dropping waterfall shots in wedding attire, and I’m no model! They earned our highest recommendation, our highest rating, and our sincere thanks for giving us unbelievable mementos of our wedding day.

- Lindsey + Preston -
We did our research and came across Adventure & Vow which was exactly what we were looking for. You can tell what they do isn't just a job to them it's their passion. Traci was super communicative about the process of eloping at Olympic National Park and is extremely knowledgeable. She is very organized and put together a perfect timeline for our big day. Not only is Traci a genuine person, she is also incredibly talented and knowledgeable at what she does.

Traci and Bill helped us haul my dress and backpack during our entire hike and were super sweet about it! They were fun to talk to and really allowed John-Mark and I to soak up every minute of our day. It was one of the best experiences of our lives! I would absolutely do it all over again! And I can't forget to include how amazing our pictures came out !! Even after our elopement, Traci has been super communicative with all of our questions/requests.

FAQ

everything you wonder

Here is where you belong.

Together, in nature.

“we felt like we had been friends forever.”

How often do you take the time or moment to observe how the sand feels between your toes, how the water moves beside you, how you feel, how your partner takes in a place or moment or how the sun feels on your skin?

Eloping presents you the chance to observe, slow down and truly experience a day together and worry about nothing else at all. Simply being together present in the space and place of what you’ve chosen to do for your wedding day.

We love seeing couples experience new things together on their elopement day. You see a moment of calm, acceptance and wonder brush over them. Connection so present to the place and what it offers, to each other and the experience.
