Sam and Kyle are not just photographers. They really help construct a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They created a day for us that was beyond magical. It was a day of intention, thoughtfulness, presence and all good energy and that was 100% because of them and their planning and preparation. They put a lot of work into understanding who me and my partner were to ensure a day that was right for us and what we wanted. They were extremely easy going and made us feel so comfortable when it came to our concerns, questions and even last minute change requests.

Let's Get started
We want you to feel the joy we did when we renewed our vows and prioritized intentionality and our experience.
We want you to feel the excitement of planning this adventure.
When you look back at your photos, we want you to remember how it felt, adventuring in an epic landscape with the person you love the most.
We want more for you
When we eloped, we didn’t have someone on our team to help us build a vision, prioritize our experience, or document those memories. That's our only regret.
But can we be vulnerable real quick?
- so we prioritize your experience above everything
Beautiful photos come from a damn good time.
We’re Sam + Kyle, a married photography team based in the PNW and fellow elope-ees!
We know exactly how it feels to want a day that’s intentional, but not quite knowing where to start.
When we eloped there weren’t any real resources for couples who didn’t see their values reflected back in the wedding industry.
Since then, we’ve built a business that specializes in adventure elopements, and helped couples plan unique days in beautiful places.
From choosing the perfect spot to the paperwork, we’re stoked to share everything we wish someone had told us.

"Right away, I felt that they understood my feelings and MY vision for a perfect day. I knew after that call they were the photographers for our day but what I soon learned is that they become so much more than photographers. As I would tell people, they are "My everything!" They created timelines, had regular communication and check-in points, checklists, locations, vendors lists, etc.We found that they are actually built-in event planners but are too humble to say so :) Our day turned out spectacular! We had so much fun. We now consider Sam and Kyle our dear friends! If you have any feeling of doubt, stress, overwhelm, they will help you every step of the way.

"After we spoke with Sam and Kyle we knew they were "the one." It was an absolute dream to work with Sam and Kyle. They were by our sides through the entire planning process. They supported us in exploring and crafting our dream day. They truly made planning our elopement so much easier. We never felt rushed and they made us feel like they cared about our day too. And to top it all off, our pictures are absolutely incredible. They not only executed our vision for the day, they elevated it. I cannot say enough positive things about Sam and Kyle. We feel so grateful for them and their immense talent for photography. Amazing people all around.
-Nicole | THE REDWOODS
"Sam and Kyle are THE elopement photography dream team. We called them about a month before the actual wedding day and they were always thorough, organized, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and sweet in our meetings. We chose to do a couple hikes in Olympic National Park and a ceremony by Lake Crescent. At first we had some apprehension with spending our wedding day with a stranger, but by the time of our elopement, Sam and Kyle were our collaborators, planners, hype team, and at times our confidants. Their direction allowed for a perfect mix of intimate and silly moments and drop dead gorgeous and epic shots. They truly captured the magic of the day and added to it with their own story and presence."

YES! Adventure elopements can include guests—but we always encourage couples to keep the ceremony group intimate (around 12-15 people max). This helps protect public lands and keeps the focus on your experience.
Couples with a larger guest count often choose to have a handful of loved ones at the ceremony, then celebrate with a larger group at their lodging afterward.
Some also decide to split their celebration into two days—one just for them, one with family & friends. Your elopement should feel intentional and meaningful—so whether it’s just the two of you or includes your closest people, we’ll help you craft a day that honors your love your way.
For a chill and truly intentional planning process, we recommend booking at least 6 months to a year in advance—this gives you the best access to locations, vendors, and permits. That said, we’ve helped couples pull off stunning elopements in as little as two weeks—but with a few trade-offs.
An adventure elopement is an intentional way of getting married—focused entirely on your experience, your connection, and your version of adventure. It doesn’t have to mean summiting mountains at sunrise or trekking deep into the back country (though it totally can). It’s about choosing a place and experience that feels like you. Whether that’s reading your vows in a mossy old-growth forest, on a windy coastal cliff, or by a quiet alpine lake, the magic of an adventure elopement is that it’s deeply personal, wildly freeing, and centered on what truly matters.
