LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

We’re your elopement experts, Sammie & Micah.

Traditionally the magic you’re feeling fades into stress and endless lists of things to do in order to actually get married. Well, good thing you aren’t here for a traditional wedding! And we aren’t your traditional photographers! 

This is your first time planning something like this, but luckily it’s not ours! We eloped ourselves and have spent our marriage traveling to 25 countries (and counting). All that lived experience? All the knowledge? Consider it our wedding gift to you. 

Hold onto that feeling for us. We’re on our way.

Hearts pounding,
ideas racing,
and getting caught up in every “how cool would it be if we…’?

Remember the days after you first got engaged?

Then I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.”
