Thankfully I can post more than 10 images in a post now, but this would've been too hard to narrow down 😅

B + M....
Engaged in Yosemite National Park.
Married in Olympic National Park.
The parks have been a source of joy for this couple.

At the end of the night sitting around the fire with their chips and guacamole (in reference to their camp nicknames for each other) they said this was their favorite trip they've ever taken so far 🥹

The morning started out with a first look and their wedding ceremony with special tokens from their story and life together. Emotionally combining past, present and future. Filled with emotional happy tears from their private vows. We had the mountains all to ourselves and the deer of course.

It was a magical morning with so much expressed joy in celebration has we hiked back down the mountain from other hikers.

The rest of the day was all about exploring the national park and celebrating.

From New Zealand style ice cream, kayaking on the lake waving to another eloping couple on the dock, reading letters from family throughout the enchanting forest, dancing in the wild flowers, exploring the coast, eating cake and roasting hot dogs by the fire!!

A day that you want to sit in and soak up forever!

So thankful to get to witness love like this and capture stories like these. 🥹

As time goes, things change.

✨We are so excited to share with you and launch our new website and branding updates!!✨

Having started photographing elopements 8 years ago now + Adventure + Vow exisiting officially for almost 6 years - it was time for a refresh.

🌿 From the start, this has always been about giving couples a way to express themselves, to have a safe space to be vunerable with their words in their vows + their emotions on a day that will be held close to their hearts forever. It was also always about seeking the adventure.

That has not changed. 
It has only rooted deeper.
Grown taller.

🧗🏼‍♀️ The adventures have definately gotten bigger since starting Adventure + Vow from rock climbing, glacier kayaking, helicopter rides, bush plane landings, seaplanes, off roading in remote areas, backpacking + epic day hikes!!

🏔️ While Mt Rainier is still the key design element of our brand - where we eloped on the Wonderland Trial.

We added a softer element - the lupine flower.

I got a lupine tattoo after seeing a feild of them in Iceland that literally brought me tears. Since then + growing Adventure and Vow, we have noticed Lupines also grow in ALL of the most special places we adventure + photograph from AK, New Zealand, WA, Eastern Sierras, even Moab.

Our new branding colors literally selected from our photos in these incredible places.

Really though, the words are what mean the most.
The feeling.
We completely overhaulded the verbiage on our site.
Many of the words inspired by you - our past couples.

I get teary-eyed thinking about all of you. The moments we have witnessed.

While we are here to support you, you really have inspired us.

This is not just about epic adventures, this is about home, with each other. Creating that, expressing it and taking the time truly feel it. 💕

It is about vunerability, intention and story.
It is art that you feel yourself in.

We are so thankful to have walked this path with over 200 couples. Thank you for allowing us be apart of this journey in your lives, for shaping us deeper into who we are and what this can be for future couples. 🥹

What do all of these elopement photos have in common you ask?

They were all photographed on land that will soon be for sale under the Big Beautiful Bill that's currently at the hands of our senators. Hoping to be pushed through and signed off on by July 4th.

If you are an elopement photographer, a couple that eloped, a couple that hopes to elope, a guide, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who simply things our public lands should be our public lands - this post is for you.

Please call your senator. Today.

There's no time to waste here. It's now or never. If this bill passes and this land gets sold - there is no going back.

If you briefly skim news articles you'll be told nothing about this part of the bill.

If you do a little research you'll see they'd "selling land to help with the housing crisis." Please tell me - how are you going to build a house on Cathedral rock? Or in Mill creek in Moab? Or up at artist point in Washington?

You're not. That's because this bill isn't about housing. It's about oil and gas which is laid out deep, deep, in the Bill.

These lands are sacred, where we find peace, connection, quiet, a place to push ourselves, to be free. They're where we have photographed 200 couples saying "I do" and where we have more planning to choose their special day at - if they can.

Get your voices heard.
Speak up and stand up for our land.

You can use to contact your senator or you can contact them directly through the government websites.

Other great resources are:

Please share this info to your stories, tag your senators or friends. The more the word is spread about this, the more people can speak out.

I can't imagine a world where we don't have access to these beautiful lands.

We literally call Artist Point, WA home + it's on this list 💔

In honor of being back in Olympic National Park to start off our WA Summer season AND a photo from this elopement being featured in .... I wanted to re-share a little about this glorious day. ✨
longanisa_ + .jr , local WA folks, had never been to Olympic National Park so when they decided to elope they also decided why not finally go visit this beautiful National Park in their backyard!

I will never forget their faces of PURE JOY when they first saw the coast. Their stoke stayed high as they explored the rocks, watched eagles, danced in the sand and admired the sunset.

The day started in the mountains for a sunrise ceremony. We had the most orange sherbet sunrises I have ever seen. Truly a remarkable way to start off your wedding day. However, it was then followed by a rainstorm - their first storm in the mountains, they handled it like champs! Making memories they will never forget.

Now this is a place they can go back to and revisit their wedding day or make new memories as the years go by.

The National Parks are so special. As John Muir said, "Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature’s sources never fail.”

The parks are a place to escape into peace, create co-memories, explore the unknown, soak in the quiet and find yourself tiny under the stars.

We are so lucky that we have the option to share wedding days in these incredible, magical places

When you decide to elope you are saying no to meaningless traditions and yes you, your story, who you are.

You are giving yourself a voice on your wedding day, a chance to let who are you shine.

Embrace that.

Your daily right now, may not be your daily in 10 years.
Who you are, what you do, what you connect to is something that deserves celebrating and documenting.

No matter how you decide to speak your truth, express who you are, and lay out your story, there is no wrong way.

You can do this by the way you choose to spend your elopement day, the adventure, how you dress, how you accessorize, how you hold space during your ceremony, with your written vows, and where you choose to spend your elopement day.

You want to look back years later at your elopement day photos and go, “damn, that was us.”

You want to feel how you felt, you want to see yourself in that moment and know it was a true representation of your love and experience that day.

That only happens if you are being you, fully + authentically. Don’t be afraid to be loud about it.

We are here to support you through an intentional wedding experience

"As our relationship grew, our mutual passion for remote peaks and long trails deepened our connection. Sharing the emotional highs and lows of alpine climbing pushed us to reveal our true selves and learn how dependable we could be as partners, both in adventure and in life. Managing fear and long days in the mountains taught us more about each other and the type of people we wanted to be – it was a level of intimacy neither of us had experienced before." - said in

The outdoors brings you together.

Your wedding day is about your legacy, your future - your story.

There's nothing more valuable or honorable than celebrating your marriage through what brings you together the most.

🧗🏼‍♀️ share this with your climbing partner 👀

In honor of being back in WA state I wanted to re-share this elopement!

Two days. One adventurous, beautiful story.

✨ Day One: Their elopement day began slow and soft—coffee in hand, getting ready together in a quiet cabin tucked deep in the woods. They shared their first look and first dance by a waterfall, letting the moment move them before heading to a local farm for a meaningful horseback ride—the same adventure they were on when they got engaged.

As sunset approached, we hiked to a secluded alpine ridge for their ceremony—just the two of them, held by sweeping mountain peaks and the quiet stillness of the wilderness. Mother Earth sending them off with a colorful sherbet congrats of a sunset.

🌿 Day Two: Their adventure day brought us to a different side of Washington—Olympic National Park. It was all about doing what they love most: exploring. We hiked beneath moss-draped trees in the rainforest, splashed in the lake’s crystal-clear water, and ended the day beneath a sky full of stars. It felt like the kind of summer day they’d spend together at home—just a little more wild, a little more magical in this fairytale of a National Park.

One of the best parts about getting married in Washington State? 👀

You don’t have to choose between rugged mountains, coastal cliffs, alpine lakes or forest trails—you can have all of it. This place is made for two-day elopements and honeymoons wrapped into one unforgettable experience. The adventures and awe worth my views are endless.

Here you can find peace, solidarity, awe, big adventure and inspiration. ✨

✨ Thinking about an intentional elopement in the Pacific Northwest? Let’s make it happen.

Humanity.

Being a human is something I ponder on often. What does it mean to be human? What is the point? Why are we here? The human experience is one of the most complexities of life.

The one thing I know for certain about humanity it that we are meant to love. We are meant to be here for each other, to form relationships.

Humans thrive off of connections.

During Pride Month, I can not help but think about humanity a lot and all of these interconnections. It is not just a month of celebrating love. It is a month where people get to say, I am a human, no matter what. It is a moment of someone saying hey this is me! Will you stand by me? It's about standing up for human rights and equality.

The way I see it, when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ community, this should not even have to be a question.

Again, let me repeat.

As humans, we are here to love each other. To connect with each other.

No matter who you choose to love during your time living on this earth, you are still a human being.

A person who still deserves to be loved with open arms, to be heard, to be respected, to be cared for, to be looked at as equal.

Having a “dislike” or an “unacceptance” towards a person based on whom they love is inhumane. It is a mind closed based on contradictions within religion, an unwillingness to learn, and an inability to open your own heart. We are all the same, so why can’t we love each other the same?

Specifically, as folks in the wedding industry, we are here to celebrate love. It doesn’t matter your gender, your story, your race, your size. IT DOES NOT MATTER. We are here to be advocates for love, to support, to document, to lift up. To love.

To me, if you are not able to do that in this industry, you are in the wrong industry.

Thinking of eloping this fall and still looking for the perfect spot? 🍁

✨ Look no further than Southern Utah + Northern Arizona! ✨

While the rest of the world grows cold, gray and snowy it's prime time in the desert October through mid November.

You still get fall foliage ✨
The longer into the fall season, the more quiet + private it becomes.
Starry night skies perfect to cuddle up by a fire under to end your elopement day. 🔥

From national parks, lake sides, off road routes or fun canyons - exploring the desert is bound to leave you breathless and feeling free.

The desert offers many family friendly elopement locations with easy access but also offers those big adventures like:
✨ climbing or canyoneering
✨ hiking or backpacking
✨ mountain biking
✨ off-roading

Tag your fiancé let them know you've got an idea 💍
