Elopement Packages

designed for
Epic Experiences

Your wedding day is a reflection of who you are —it deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered.

The most meaningful moments in life happen when we choose to WALK THE PATH THAT FEELS MOST TRUE TO WHO WE ARE.

For couples who feel most alive on mountaintops, most connected supporting each other, and find inspiration beneath endless starry skies.
That’s why we believe in elopements. So you can have:

A wedding day rooted in connection—to each other, to the land, and to the life you’re choosing.

This isn’t just about photos (though we’ll make those stunning).
It’s about telling the story of your love in a way that feels present, honest, and deeply yours.

A story that will live on—not just in your hearts, but in the legacy these images carry forward for generations.

Let’s Co-create something beautiful together!

Hi – it’s your friends, Traci + Malachi

Traci is your pro-elopement planner, she has planned over 200 elopements across the US and beyond. From extensive backpacking, climbing elopements to elopements that cater to having guests – she will bring your vision to life.

Malachi is your elopement photographer from capturing elopements in the back country, on water, on the big mountain cliff edges he knows how capture memories so that you look back and go – we did that!!

Eloping is personal. It’s vulnerable. It’s intentional. And our hearts are in it just as deeply as yours.

From the moment you reach out, we’re all in.

We’ll track the weather, scout trails, find the best lighting, and make sure every detail is aligned with the experience you want to have. We become your right-hand team—ready to adapt, support, and guide you through it all.

And when the day comes? We photograph not just what it looks like, but what it feels like—through the lens of everything you’ve shared with us. This is a personal journey, and we can’t wait to walk it with you.

Your wedding photos can’t be retaken—and the experience can’t be relived.

We learned this the hard way.

When we planned our own elopement, we didn’t hire a photographer with the right kind of adventure experience—or deep knowledge of the area.
And while our elopement was still meaningful, parts of it didn’t unfold the way we imagined.

The experience shifted.

Choosing your elopement photographer is one of the most impactful decisions you’ll make.

It’s about more than photos—it’s about who genuinely sees your vision, who’s guiding you through it with expertise, and who’s showing up with 115% commitment to your story.

From the planning to the summit to the final gallery, you deserve someone who can deliver from the logistics to the art —and sees you.

  • “Working with Traci and Bill for our elopement wedding in the stunning mountains of Mt. Baker and the breathtaking Second beach in Olympic National Park was an unforgettable experience. From our first conversation in the video call, it was clear that they understood our vision and was excited to capture the beauty of our special day. Their expertise in both mountain and beach settings truly shone through.

    The way they captured the dramatic landscapes of Mt. Baker paired with the serene beauty of Second Beach created a magical backdrop for our pre wedding, ceremony and post wedding photos. Both my husband and I cried especially when they captured us in the Milky Way in Second beach. It was amazing.

    They had an incredible eye for detail and composition, using the natural light and unique features of each location to enhance our portraits. We were thrilled with how they captured candid moments, making us feel relaxed and genuinely ourselves.

  • “We are beyond grateful to Traci and Bill for making our elopement day truly perfect! From the very first moment we met them, we knew we were in the best hands. They were not only incredibly flexible and easy to work with but also so much fun to be around. They made the entire experience relaxed and stress-free, which allowed us to focus on each other and the moment.

    Traci and Bill went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, and their attention to detail was just amazing. They captured our love so beautifully, and the photos are absolutely stunning. I get emotional every time I look at them – they perfectly tell the story of our day and the love we share.

    Thank you, Traci and Bill, for making our elopement unforgettable! You were more than just photographers; you were like friends guiding us through the most special day of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us create these memories. We will cherish the photos (and the experience!) forever!”

  • “I wish I could give Traci and Bill more than 5 stars because it’s just not enough to capture what an amazing experience we had with them.

    Everything from planning the elopement to the day of went seamlessly. Traci and Bill go above and beyond really getting to know you as a couple and really help planning the elopement day to what you want it to be. I loved how they stressed the importance of making it about you two and what you wanted to do.

    Our elopement was the most imperfectly perfect day. We had weather against us, of all days it decided to rain in the PNW it had to be our elopement day but we made the absolute best of it and put all of our faith in Traci and Bill. They made us feel very comfortable and reminded us about the experience and to make it about the love that day. We surrendered to all the elements and had the most beautiful day. We really appreciated their flexibility in not forcing us to stand on cliffs we weren’t comfortable with, keeping our jackets on in the rain, and changing our schedule due to the rain.

Each of our elopement packages are designed with you in mind

Each elopement package includes

Experienced, Award-Winning Photography

This isn’t our first summit. With over 30 years of combined experience—from documenting professional sports to mastering studio lighting and film—our approach is rooted in deep technical expertise and creative artistry. Your story will be captured with intentionality, emotion, and precision—by a team trusted by publications and honored by international awards.

All Travel Included — No Hidden Fees

Travel to your elopement destination is always included—no surprise charges, no fine print. Whether your plans take you to a national park, a quiet coastline, or a remote trailhead, we’re with you every step of the way to help bring it to life with care and creativity.

Trusted vendor recommendations

We only recommend creatives we know and trust—florists, hair and makeup artists, chefs, and more—who specialize in elopements and share our standards of excellence and care.

Drone Coverage

Where permitted, we offer drone photography and video to capture the full scale of the beautiful place you chose to say ‘I do.’ With FAA Part 107 certification, we fly within all legal guidelines to ensure your day is captured safely and ethically.

Fast turnaround & legacy support

You’ll receive sneak peeks the same day—sent right to your phone—so you can relive it instantly. Your full high-resolution gallery is delivered within 6 weeks (video within 12), along with guidance on how to preserve your images, print them beautifully, and keep them safe for generations. All of our galleries include a slideshow to watch your images come to life + a custom album design unfolding your story in your hands.

Witness Services/Ceremony Assistance

We can help you write your ceremony to “self-solemnize” or can connect you with proper officiating vendors for the country you will be in.

Flexibility when needed

This is your wedding day—but it’s also real life. We get that. Every one of our packages includes built-in flexibility. Whether that means shifting your timeline due to temporary weather, or changing locations because of wildfire smoke, flooding, or other emergencies—we’re ready to adapt so your day can still feel exactly how it should: calm, intentional, and meaningful.

Expert Planning Resources

Our 95+ page elopement guide distills everything we’ve learned from hundreds of elopements—plus our Leave No Trace expertise—into one empowering resource to help you plan with confidence and care.

Tailored Location Scouting

You won’t find these spots on a trending blog. With boots-on-the-ground scouting and years of exploring remote terrain, we’ll help you discover the place that feels right. Whether it’s a hidden alpine lake, a desert arch at dawn, or a quiet canyon under stars—we help you find a location that holds meaning, not just beauty.

Connection-Focused Questionnaires

We send intentional prompts (a.k.a. elopement “date nights”) to help you reflect and connect during planning—because a meaningful elopement starts with a meaningful process.

Personalized Timelines

Every couple receives a custom timeline tailored to your unique vision, energy, and priorities. We also provide separate timelines for guests (if you have them), plus detailed packing lists and travel guidance so nothing gets missed.

Permit Assitance

We assist you through any required permits, covering up to $250 of photography-related fees. With extensive knowledge of public lands, we’ll help you navigate red tape with ease.

Our packages are specifically designed with THE THINGS THAT MATTER THE MOST IN MIND:

Experience, having the ability to take it in and not rush away the day and a deep understanding of elopements.

We have photographed over 200 elopement days – over the years we’ve learned what really matters with making a perfect elopement come to life. Especially, aboard – things can take longer + you do not want to rush this once in a lifetime adventure.

Please note: we only take international elopements in Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, Patagonia, New Zealand or Italy.

“We wanted to have the best of both worlds with an adventure climbing day while also having private vows and a small ceremony with our closet family and friends and they made that happen! We never felt like we were doing a photo shoot, or had a camera in front of us – we felt completely comfortable as if we were around friends the whole time!

They went out of their way to scout and really LEARN a new climb they had never done before when we said that’s what we wanted to do! And then when bad weather rolled in on our scheduled day, they moved it earlier for us! During the whole process they made everything seamless and truly enjoyable! We never worried about a thing! Not only were they amazing to work with, but were so friendly! After spending 2 days with them, we cried having to say goodbye!”

– Chelsea + Tucker
