Nice to meet ya! We are Traci and Bill, a husband and wife team, we are so stoked that you’re considering us as your photographers, videographers, planners and/or officiant!!!
Here you are not hiring wedding photographers. You are hiring adventure elopement photographers, that know how to get amongst it. Marriage is so important to us and we want every couple to be able to start their marriage off in a meaningful way to them. It is important to make sure we are a good fit for each other as we start this journey.
While taking photos is the most important job, it is not the only hat we proudly wear for our couples and we are 110% committed to helping you make your day reflect your relationship! We will end up being your assistant planner, friend and help along the way! Yes, we are there for all the loud, quiet, happy, emotional and in between moments. We strive to provide a creative, honest & memorable experience for all of our clients by creating authentic moments rather than ‘posed smile at the camera’ shots! We want you to walk away with stunning images that tell your story and memories to last forever.
We are here with you every step of the way in planning and on the trail for the best day of your lives <3
– We believe this is the most important day to authentically be you!
– We are here to help you all of the way! From planning with family, or no family. Connecting with the right vendors. Finding the PERFECT nook to celebrate this special day.
– We are STOKED on the adventure. So if you want to hike, climb, rappel, off road, helicopter, slack line, swim, boat, ride in a hot air balloon, ride in a plane we are ready. Whatever you want to do, we will help you figure out all of the logistics and be with you 100% of the way. We know what it takes and how to plan those big adventures that lead into your elopement, so we are here to help in all the logistics that may seem impossible.
– You two have your own love language and we want you to be true to who you two are as a couple. We are here to document your love and we do this by getting to know you two through questionnaires and Zoom calls. Eloping is not a photo shoot, it’s an adventure together.
Each package is a little bit different experience wise. However every package with Adventure + Vow includes these things:
"There are not enough good things to say about Traci + Bill! They made all of our elopement dreams come true! From the moment I saw Traci's work, I knew she was the photographer for our elopement. From the first time I reached out to her she was so friendly and had excellent communication - and I know that as a bride trying to work through all the details of getting married.. communication from a vendor is so important. Traci was key in making sure that our day was connected to us and was meaningful. We are absolutely in love with our photos and the video - both the photos/video perfectly captured our intimate day with our families and all the emotion that was involved."
+ On top of what all is included in all of our packages this package also comes with a hand crafted leather album at is 10 x 10 with 24 sides. I will custom design this for you with your favorite images from the gallery.

If you want the best of both worlds, starting your day off together and ending it together with the best light of sunrise and set this is the package for you. This is an elopement day split between sunrise and sunset with a break in between, if desired. This is a great way to get personal time for half the day and spend the other half with family. Or it is a great way to get to go to two totally different locations throughout your elopement day! We often have couples pick this when they want to do Page for sunrise and Sedona for sunset. Or if they want to do a ceremony in the morning and spend the evening off roading/climbing/etc. Either way, its a beautiful way to capture the entire day of your wedding day!
**This is our most popular package and we highly recommend it for any couple who plan to have guests

Our video packages include: choice of music that allows usage rights, voice recording of your ceremony and/or vows for the video if desired, and the 3-5 minute reel. Some couples prefer to keep that private and just use music or something different for a voice recording like sharing their story or a poem.

“I am so impressed and grateful for Traci. She is a person with outstanding work ethic and is genuinely dedicated to providing a personalized experience to her clients. I was blown away at not only how beautiful our photos were but also at how quickly she was able to finalize the edits. She was so easy to work with. Our elopement was perfect, and I personally believe that it would not have have been as easy, stress free, or the right location without all of her input. She did so much research and put in so much effort into accommodating our large group, making sure it was an accessible hike, and also creating an atmosphere of fun and stress-free adventure. She was incredibly organized and on top of all the details, helpful when we needed help, but also relaxed when we needed to de-stress. Traci is so talented and highly skilled at what she does. She has a great eye for capturing beautiful shots. She is also a gem of a human being to work with.” – Brent & Heather
