— the most beautiful place on earth, in each other's arms —
You'll be far too entrenched in the romance of where you're at
On your wedding day there will be no one to host.
Nowhere you have to be. No forced moments.
Nothing on your mind other than what’s in front of you.
to be thinking about the schedule or the camera.
Unforgettable Expeditions

How will you spend all that time?
Reading letters from your loved ones, while sipping coffee together before getting ready.
Doing a first look with your dogs, then laughing as you lint roll one another.
Collecting stones along the seashore, seeing who can skip them the farthest.
Taking a gondola ride to dinner, listening to rhythmic water and sounds of the city.
Dancing barefoot together, as your soft hums turning into spirited singing.
Maybe it's...
Turns out you have more time than you imagined for your elopement when you cut out the things that don’t serve you and focus
solely on what matters most to you.
And we’ll make sure those Moments are yours to keep.
During your elopement, time will stop again and again for moments that’ll make you go
This is Love.

We both want to do this – your only wedding day – right.
OUR PRIORITIES ARE THE SAME
The Planning
You’ve never done this before, but we have and we’re here to make sure the possibilities never overwhelm you. We want to always give you a path forward that excites you and is clear of any worries.
You care so deeply about your wedding. And so do we. We’ll be as involved as you want us to be, and we’ll never steer you toward something we don’t think is the best choice for you and your marriage. Our goal is to empower you to make the choice that feels right to you.
The Experience
Everything surrounding your wedding day should highlight your connection, anchor you in the present, and celebrate who you are. To us, that’s the only way to do this!
We will work to make sure you’re saying ‘I do’ in a place that lights your soul on fire. That the timeline of your day(s) gives you ample space to explore the moment. And that your desires and feelings are prioritized as you check off one bucket-list experience after another on your wedding day.
The Photos
With a love like yours? In a place like this? Incredible photos are inevitable. You want better than incredible though. You want undeniably-you, never-felt-prettier, jaw-on-the-floor, falling-in-love-all over-again photos. And that’s what you’ll get.
Thinking about getting your photos taken shouldn't make you cringe or feel self-conscious. And we’ll make sure of that. With the perfect blend of documentary-style and artistic positioning, looking back on your photos you’ll remember laughing together and you’ll be stunned by the moments of intimacy captured when it felt like it was just you two.

Because the most beautiful part of your elopement
On your day, we’ll co-create ART together, with stunning portraits and flattering, artistic positioning that will make you look and feel amazing. But that’s not all we’ll do…
Rather than stiff poses or unnatural displays of affection, we want to create experiences that evoke real movement, intimacy, and joy. We’ll invite you… to recall your first road trip together. To share how you’ve made each other better people. To whisper about what still gives you butterflies.
Your chemistry takes our prompts and runs away with them. Soon you’ll be laughing and reminiscing like you’re the only two people that exist in the world.
Looking at any blushing cheek, silly eye-roll, or tear in your photos you’ll instantly be transported back to that very moment.
We don’t just pose,
We invite you to build memories on your wedding day.

I reached out to Sammie and Micah to see if they would be able to help us...they were truly amazing! The amount of resources, research, and patience they had to navigate our likes and dislikes to find the perfect location and photography style. They went above and beyond. Not only with how the photos came out (which were gorgeous!), but making the whole experience memorable.

The Chaffins were so intentional about getting to actually know us, so we could feel more comfortable when it came time for photos.
They had so many clever tricks that helped us relax, be real, and forget the camera was even there. We both had SO MUCH FUN.

Dreaming Without Limits
As much as we say elopements are our expertise, our real expertise is in dreaming. And dreaming is our favorite thing to do with our couples. Think about the little things that light you up inside, the places you’ve dismissed as impractical despite being obsessed with them, and who is standing next to you. Think of your elopement as the best “date day” of your life.
It’s your job to picture it and tell us all about it. It’s our job to bring your wedding day vision to life.
Finding a Location
Whether you know exactly what country you want to elope in or you just know that mountains are more your vibe than the beach, we’ll work to identify the best location match for you. Taking into account your personalities, desired activities, weather preferences, and questionnaire answers we’ll present you with curated options. As well as the corresponding details so you can make the best decision for you.
Creating a Timeline
There are countless ways to break up your wedding day(s)—we’re here to guide you in finding the best option. We thrive on building you a custom timeline with the margin and freedom needed so you can have an unhurried pace, while also including all the activities, adventure, and optimal lighting for each step of the way. We know just how to find that perfect balance for you.
You’ll see that your wedding day won’t rush on by—that instead you’ll have time to pause and soak up every bit of it.
