What'S INCLUDED
Where do I begin other than this was the best choice we made for our elopement journey! Sam and Kyle are incredible. They made the planning process feel less stressful and daunting from the first phone call. They helped throughout the planning process with reminders guidance and lists! Day of the elopement they were perfect. They captured and facilitated all the magic throughout the day. I couldn’t imagine my day without them hyping my groom and I up. They truly are incredible and would tell everyone to use them in a heartbeat. Future you will be so grateful to past you for picking them to be on your wedding day team (I know my husband and I are!) - Sarah | WASHINGTON
"This was the best choice we made for our elopement"
What'S INCLUDED
When my husband and I first started planning our elopement, we knew what we were looking for in general, but it was so hard to pick the right hikes and locations from states away. It was also important to us to feel comfortable with our photographers since we'd be spending the whole day hiking together.
Sam + Kyle had such expertise and true love of the area. They picked the PERFECT hikes and ceremony locations for us. Throughout our many calls and emails, we felt so sure that they truly understood what we wanted from our day. Every call felt like chatting with people who were experts in the field and also friends that we'd take a hike and grab a beer with!
I am in awe of the way that Kyle and Sam managed our group, directed us for photos and the ceremony, tactfully made sure we had quite moments to ourselves, and kept up the energy and vibes throughout our 19hr day! Not to mention hiking with their heavy gear all the while— absolute beasts! The whole day was exactly the mix of adventure, beauty, and fun that we wanted.
And of course the pictures?!?!? ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. One of the reasons we chose Sam and Kyle was their style of cinematic and romantic photos that still felt real and natural. My husband and I are not generally comfortable in front of the camera by any means. Sam and Kyle prompted us in ways that felt genuine and playful and with their talent resulted in phenomenal photos.
- Alex + Tam | NORTH CASCADES
am speechless. I can not even describe how amazing, welcoming, and sincere Sam and Kyle are! They made such an important day beyond what we could even think of! They had such a clear vision and were intentional in creating beautiful images that captured what we were all feeling and experiencing. They allowed us to feel so much like ourselves and it is so clear in our photos that we just had the time of our lives!
Sam and Kyle were not only our photographers but also our planners, motivators, and friends by the end! You could not find a better pair to experience and create one of the biggest and most cherished moments in your life! We could not recommend them more!
- Kate + Trint | OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK
Sam and Kyle are truly the best elopement photographers!
Their process for getting to know us and what we wanted was stellar. They asked the right questions at the right stage of planning throughout the entire process. Before we found them, we weren’t sure if we were ever going to be able to fit in all of the key things we wanted in our day. Sam and Kyle made it possible!
They went above and beyond creating. They were always available to help when we had concerns about permits, the day’s flow, or our look for the day.
You can tell this is not just a job for them, but their passion.
On our elopement day, it never felt like we were walking around with professional photographers, instead just hanging out with good friends who had cameras.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning! They managed to really capture our mood and the spirit of excitement that permeated our whole adventure. They are the reason our elopement dream became a marital reality!
