Meet your adventure elopement Photographers

We're Sam & Kyle
and we chase a good time

  • We live and travel in our RV, exploring the most incredible locations to share with you. 

  • We're hikers, backpackers, and all-around adventurers that care about sustainability and the outdoors. Sharing our knowledge and experience with you. 

  • We eloped instead of a traditional wedding, and have years of expertise helping couples build the most incredible elopements. 

Meet your elopement photographers

When we eloped,
we didn't have a photographer

But, can we tell you something kind of embarrassing?

We didn't have someone to:
  • Help us dream bigger.
  • Plan the logistics of an intentional day.
  • Document our story.

And while we loved our elopement story, not having a photographer to document our story...

You know we mean it!

  • We want you to feel the joy we experienced when we renewed our vows. Surrounded by waterfalls, towering pines, and an icy lake. 

  • We want you to feel the thrill of planning an intentional day alongside a trusted guide. Knowing that you’re starting the next chapter of your lives together in a truly remarkable way

  • We want you to look at your photos and remember EXACTLY how good those moments felt. How they looked at you, how the sun felt on your skin, how small you felt in such a wild place.

So when we say this is about so much more than being elopement photographers

TBH... We want more for you

Because the memories of your wedding day fade crazy fast, and we don’t really remember any of it.

That's our only regret

"Sam and Kyle are hands down just amazing. Their energy is awesome! So sweet! So kind! I adore them! They really go above and beyond to find the best times for lighting and staying in contact with you all the days leading up to your day! My now husband and I have NEVER done professional photos together so we were a little nervous leading up just because we weren’t really sure what to do but they made us feel so comfortable! They let you just be who you are and what is true to you. I couldn’t be more happy with my photos. They’re EXACTLY what we were looking for. I’m beyond in love with them! Definitely recommend them to anyone! Especially us outdoorsy people!"

Here's what you need

Adventure
Elopement Photographers
That are Invested in Your Experience!

Years of doing this have taught us that gorgeous photos that make you feel good when you look at them are the result of:

  • Building trust 
  • Excellent planning 
  • A good time 

And, because pretty photos don’t mean anything if taking them sucked…

“We came across Sam & Kyle at the Dropped Pin after our original photographer canceled on us a few months before our elopement. In a state of fear, panic, and frustration, Sam & Kyle were literally a god send. We had our initial zoom call with Sam & Kyle and we immediately knew they were the real deal. Sam was really warm and made us feel immediately at ease. Her keen attention to detail and planning is something we appreciated so much. A few days after our wedding, they surprised us with a little sneak peak of our gallery and I literally cried because the pictures were absolutely incredible. Kyle is an artist and has an extraordinary gift for photography, we got so many awesome shots that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.”
