ELOPEMENT GUIDE

Montana Adventure Elopements for the wild hearted
We might be biased, but adventure elopements are easily our most favorite way for two awesome humans to get married. They're beautiful, real, raw, and focused on all the good things. They're far less stressful and absolutely memorable, unique and tailored to your dreams. We end up laughing the night away, chasing the light around every mountain bend, noshing on good snacks and boozy drinks, and of course capturing outrageously gorgeous memories and imagery. It's pretty amazing! We're more than just your photographers. We're real people and we genuinely love our clients. We'll be with you every step of the way! We want your elopement to be unique, beautiful and outrageously memorable.

We've found that outside of all day coverage, opting for 6 - 8 hours of coverage offers exceptional storytelling & room for delays in the wild, unpredictable mountains. Our elopement packages are based on a 2 person elopement (just the couple!) so if you have guests, extra time is an absolute must!
NEW! HIGHLIGHT REEL
New! We love these! We now offer short micro, highlight reels from gorgeous clips shot throughout your day to some pretty, joyful music of your choice! While these do not replace video, they are super cute and fun! Such a unique perspective on your day and great for sharing on social media or with family + friends so they can relive memories with you! Documentary style, shot in 4K on iPhone. Depending on coverage length, these are between
2 1/2 - 4 minutes long,
$850 (up to 6 hours)
$1250 (up to 10 hours)

We include gorgeous, tasty, stylized mountainside mini picnics with amazing local goodies & local craft beers, wines or spirits in every elopement with upgraded hourly coverage. These are beautiful, memorable annnd they keep you from gettin' hangry! You can also opt to upgrade your picnic with a delicious charcuterie board, additional pastries, fancy pants champagne, or a perfect little elopement CAKE (please have cake!).
HEY!
get a darn cake - it's your wedding day!
