Adventure elopement photo & video Team Capturing across the United States & Beyond

The outdoors brought you two together,

now lets plan a wedding that reflects that....

Imagine a wedding day that is true to your connection….

That is what is celebrated
here at adventure + vow...

Eloping presents you the chance to observe, slow down and truly experience a day together and to 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. Embracing a day that you intentionally crafted together.

You found your

Elopement Photographer Dream Team!

Bill + Traci’s journey started with a sunrise hike in Sedona, Arizona. From there we have hiked, backpacked, climbed, traveled, lived in multiple vans, kayaked, eloped and built the dream elopement experience together for adventurous epic elopement days.

Traci is known for being the “lets make it happen” gal, putting together logistics to create magic and Bill is they heck yes to any adventure, shy away from nothing kinda guy. We are here to be sure you have a stress-free wedding day that feels true to you, be your friend through those sincere moments and your creative gurus when it comes to preserving this special day.

The day of was absolutely magical. Bill served as our officiant, and he must have been a poet in a past life or something because the ceremony he wrote for us was so beautifully written. There wasn’t much posing direction for setting up shots, as you might expect with a traditional wedding photographer. Their approach is to just “do what feels right.” Which, personally, we found to be in refreshing contrast to all the staged wedding pictures out there. Trust that they’ll capture you looking your best (even when you’re in your zone, behaving like your absolute silliest with the love of your life, completely forgetting that a photographer is steps away from you at most moments)!

Our full day with the power couple that makes up Adventure & Vow, included the highlight video add-on, and our photos and the final video were nothing short of majestic and stunning! Their photo editing style and creativity are chef’s kiss! (And pretty quick, too, with social media ready sneak peeks available practically immediately!) Working with Adventure & Vow for our adventure elopement made us feel like we were making smart choices for our pocketbook, the environment, our sanity, and most importantly, our memories!”

What is an
Adventure Elopement ?

You and I may define an elopement differently –
so it is important to define truly what this is all about here at Adventure and Vow.

Over the last decade the term and vision for an
elopement day has drastically changed.

An adventure elopement is:

A purposefully planned wedding that is based on authentically celebrating the love of two people.

A wedding day that is connected to you, your love and the environment.

Connected. Real. Intentional.

Let's Get Real...

Eloping is skipping the theatrics of a traditional wedding + focusing on the type of adventure that connects you the most + intentionally starting off your marriage.

This is a wedding you plan that is meaningful to your relationship and purposeful to the day where as a traditional wedding is planning based on traditions that have nothing to do with you personally.

Adventures often bring us closer to each other because they require communication, working together, supporting each other and co-experiencing something beautiful and wonderful – in a space that can leave you in complete awe. Putting perspective sometimes on life.

Personally, we feel extremely connected to elopements because to us they are a direct reflection of what marriage is. You have to work together to plan, you have to navigate anything together, you have to support each other through the adventure on the trail. You get the chance to step away from the outside world and connect with each other. Slowing down to create a vulnerable space together to share heart-felt vows. This is the time you have together to step into marriage with profound rawness. It is unforgettable.

We experienced this feeling heavily on our 74 mile, 6 day backpacking trip to our own elopement ceremony on the Wonderland Trail in Mount Rainier National Park. We can not wait for other couples to experience this euphoric time together out in the wilderness!

Why have an
Adventure Elopement ?

Having an adventure elopement offers you so many benefits as a couple deciding to tie the knot! Here are our top reasons for choosing an elopement:

Our exploration of the outdoors together has strengthened and brought out the best parts of our relationship. Furthermore, an adventure elopement affords us the opportunity to celebrate our love with a small, intimate group of our choosing—relieving any pressures to strictly adhere to formalities and traditions that do not fit the goals and priorities we have for our lifelong partnership.

– From a past Adventure + Vow couple

Hosting a big wedding can be a lot on the eco-system. Most traditional weddings create 500 pounds of trash on average during just the event itself. Eloping eliminates a lot of waste from the event, less guests traveling and more. 

Planning a big traditional wedding can be stressful if you do not feel connected to it. All of the superficial choices, different vendors and planning can be stressful for you + your relationship. An elopement is easier + actually fun to plan. It is less stress through planning + all enjoyment on the day of your wedding.

You do not have to follow a set of “must does” or meet other people’s expectations. You can simply plan a wedding from your heart, get married somewhere that means something to you + your relationship and do things that fill your soul. 

There is no right way to elope. This is an individual  experience that is crafted based on what you and your partner love the most. 

Do not want to share your vows in front of a bunch of people? Do not worry, it can be just you two, the mountains and the birds <3

Working with us as YOUR
Elopement Photographer Team!

Photographs are the only tangible thing we can keep after a memory has been made that can show us how we felt in that moment, bring us back to the surroundings and create a sense of reflection. I’m thankful our memories have a home outside of just a distant thought and it means a lot to share this with our couples.

As an international award winning elopement photographer team, we promise to take incredibly beautiful images of you.

this is a collaboration between Art + life.

We are behind the camera making choices, watching light, composition, thinking about story telling and so much more. You’re choosing the location, the activities, what you’re sharing in front of the camera – which we are help to help you with every step of the way.

The key is though, we work together. In sync. So much of this process comes from the planning stages we share with our couples connecting over zoom and our planning questionnaires.

Every couple is different. Every elopement day is different.

Even if we photographed every single couple at the same place every day at the same time, every gallery would be different. Your images should be uniquely you. That’s what we’re here to help co-create.

Experiences that turn into memories that turn into art. ✨

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.

The Best
Elopement Photographer

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!

For the wedding day, when the originally planned location for the ceremony was more full than normal with other wedding parties, Traci didn’t hesitate for a moment to switch up the plans a bit and knew exactly where to move us to which was still very close but even more secluded! THEN, at our reception they surprised us with sneak peeks from our private vows that morning and pictures from the ceremony just 2 hours before that we were able to show everyone with a slideshow! When I say everyone was in awe I mean it, there were literal gasps!

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 finishWe 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.

- Lindsay + Preston
Traci and Bill are genuinely SWEET people and great to hang out with. I never imagined planning our wedding would be a cool and comfortable experience. Traci and Bill have EVERYTHING down pact, and at a reasonable price. When we were looking at other options before we found them, others were much higher in price which made me almost believe we wouldn't be able to elope. They were not expecting an arm & a leg for a full day of photos and a gorgeous video to cherish forever. I was so impressed at their organization, planning, dedication.

They really want to personalize your day to make it perfect. Their work and professionalism are exceptional and everything they do is great quality. They will be honest with their suggestions and opinions, and it feels like you are hanging out with friends during your entire experience. We're grateful to have found them for our special day and memorable trip. 10,000 stars out of 5 stars

- Megan + Alex
Their planning was incredibly in depth, structured and yet still open to any changes that may have come along the way. Their communication was consistent and thorough. 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!
