When you're looking for a wedding day that's stress free, filled with laughter and fun - you know kids on Christmas morning vibes...

You choose to elope, in Sedona! Like Daisy + Travis did ✨

These two had never been to Sedona before and we're excited to explore somewhere new and watch the sunset, observe the wildlife and have a thrilling time off roading.

Just them two and their love.

Daisy had never been to the desert at all, but Travis loves thr desert and was excited to share this type of beautiful landscape with her, all while getting the *newness* still together as they shared private vows.

While the weather called for wild storms, the day started with sunshine and desert def put on a sunset show for them as they explored the depths of the sandstone.

Days like these, always feel like a little bit of magic, so much joy and remind you to take pause - truly soak it in and be in the moment ✨

Congrats Daisy + Travis thank you for trusting us to help you plan and capture this special day! 💕

Not a day goes by that I don't spend at least a few seconds thinking about Alaska, writher it's for planning one of our couples elopements, thinking about our own next adventure or just day dreaming of the glacier ice.

It stands out as one of the very best places to elope in my opinion for two very good reasons...

✨ Top tier adventure accessibility for anyone.

No matter what kind of adventure you're after you can find it. From ice climbing, ATV rides, backpacking, day hikes, heli rides or like these two chose a seaplane ride.

✨ Remote privacy with views worthy of big crowds

Unlike the lower 48 and even some of the stunning mountain regions in Europe, it's quite easy to find privacy in Alaska. Imagine saying your vows with a lake behind you, surrounded by 360 mountain peaks and it's just you - that's what Marlena + Asif experienced, as all of our Alaska's couples so far have had in their own adventures elsewhere.

For Marlena + Asif, if was just for the privacy and the epic adventure into the last frontier that had them stoked about alaska for their elopement. They both work in the aviation industry, so they were so excited for a unique aircraft experience on their day, that they could also share with the kids.

It was all around a perfect elopement - including a bucket list new to them place, an experience that relates to their story as a couple and a day making core memories together.

⬇️ Tag your partner, let them know you have Alaska on your mind for your adventure down the aisle 👀✨💕

A little glimpse into Sara + Madushan's romantic elopement day among the red rocks, complete with a little adventure.

They brought their closest loved ones to a beautiful home in the desert to enjoy the views, dine together and celebrate.

They held their wedding ceremony on location that felt so cozy with the beautiful decor and home wrapping them up with a red rock view.

The celebration was kicked up with a mimosa bar and food before the off road jeep adventure began!

It only felt right to make core memories on a new fun adventure immersing into the mountains and red rocks to celebrate becoming married!

They shared their vows privately under a juniper tree on the cliff edge overlooking all of Sedona. Their family also made it under the incredible view and something out of their norm for a toast and quality time with the couple.

Leaving the couple more time on their own to soak in the sunset and starry night sky - a little congratulations sparkle from Mother Earth.

The night ended with their favorite cocktails and dining together right where they got married ✨

Congratulations + our team was honored to capture your day and get to you both. We wish you the happiest of marriages!

If your elopement photographer said - "I know a place...."

Would you trust them?

Would you venture out of your known for an unknown adventure in a remote spot in the desert..???

My friends, we know places....

One of my favorite aspects of being an elopement photographer is sharing locations with our couples that we've discovered over the years, tucked away off the beaten path.

Places that offer privacy.

Places that are awe worthy.

Places that offer adventure.

Places that become yours.

After living on the road now for over 5 years, exploring the depths of the desert and miles of trails in the PNW, we have a pretty epic list of places you could elope that you have not seen before.

And that's no an over ran tourist area or a place you'd run into other couples eloping.

David + Amanda love Northern Arizona and have explored it over the last decade, but we took them to 3 places they did not know even existed. Widening their love for this area. Leaving them wanting to explore even more.

Combining new + old when it comes to where you elope I think is so special ❤

I'm excited to share our image has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 International Wedding Photographer Awards of the Year ✨

I'm a photographer first always because of my desire for creative and passion for telling stories in a moment.

To me this image is about Tammy + Eric being engulfed in the incredible mountain peaks of the north cascades in the morning sunlight romantically in their own bubble of bliss sharing their day together.

It was a complete joy and honor to capture their elopement day. I'll never forget them stopping in awe to watch the sun come over the ridge - something they'd never witnessed before in their time hiking together. I'm truly so thankful for their trust to have us there for their day. 💕🙏🏼

This image is not possible without a long veil! We're huge veil lovers around here! They allow playfulness and look so beautiful in images with dream backlight or even blue hour.

Huge thank you to the judges this year at IWPOTY: and last but not least a photo team I've looked up to for a long time

Judging thousands of images from 500+ photographers crossing 61 countries is no small fleet. Earlier this year we judged destination contest and truly it's an experience unlike any other deciding what work is best of the best.

That's a wrap on our 7th love on earth workshop!

This workshop was so special to us to go back to where it all started for us instructors, but also to bring the attendees to one of our favorite tucked away deserts filled with so much beauty and fun to be had!

Fun was had.

Love on Earth is about bringing people in this industry together, building community all while learning how to be successful within your business and get creative on shoots where you can learn new things.

From sand surfing, flaming margaritas, vulnerability, curiosity, brainstorming, camping, off roading and night skies this workshop was possibly my favorite yet.

Our hearts are overflowing, there was so much kind words and thankfulness shared and I don't want any attendee to think that goes unnoticed by us. Workshops and styled shoots in our industry are often slapped together by photographers looking to make an extra buck, but for us we pour everything into this.

We want to see you succeed.
We want all the eloping couples to work with vendors that are going to give them the best on their day.

A year after starting my business I attended a workshop in Page, at the time I was getting no where and struggling. That workshop gave me everything I needed to know to build my business and keep it going all these years later. I made the closest friends I have today from attending.

It's so cool to be on the other end and watch those things happen for other photographers 🥹

We're so glad to serve the community and host events like these.

Thank you to everyone how came out to help make this year so special, we can't wait to see the places you go 🫶🏼

"We've been told this is not possible, what do you think?"

One of the most important things to know when it comes to picking an elopement photographer is that everyone's version of adventure is different.

So how do you find an elopement photographer that is the right fit for the adventure you're hoping for?

The easiest way to tell is:

✨ Viewing the photos on their website + social, do they show anything similar?

✨ Reading their website, are they talking about easy access locations or back country adventures?

✨ Can't tell? Ask them on a call or in your inquiry!

If a photographer tells you a hike is too long or not possible for your elopement - keep looking, don't get discouraged.

There's thoasands of elopement photographers out there and a lot of specialize in different types of elopements.

Here at Adventure and Vow we specialize in the BIG adventures like backpacking, climbing, canyoneering and those longer day hikes.

Why?!

Because all of us built our relationships during adventures out in the wild. We know and understand how your bond grows deeper adventuring together - so of course you want to do a big adventure on the biggest day in your relationship so far!

You don’t have to choose between intimacy and family when you elope. You can create a day that holds both, beautifully.

Deanna and Matt began their elopement day before sunrise, hiking to a quiet rim in Sedona while the world was still dark.

As the sky shifted into soft watercolor light, they shared their first look and read their private vows — just the two of them, surrounded by the stillness of the desert.

They sat together and read letters from family members who couldn’t be there, letting those words become part of the morning in the most intentional way.

Later, the day expanded - at their Airbnb, they got ready with their parents — gifts exchanged, a couple of emotional FaceTime calls, and shared excitement filling the space.

Then everyone hiked to an incredible view of Cathedral Rock for the ceremony. Deanna’s mom walked her in. Matt’s dad brought the rings. Instead of a sand ceremony, they blended colored glass that they later fired into a vase — a tangible reminder of the promises they made.

After champagne and hugs, the adventure continued.

They took a Jeep up to Merry-Go-Round Rock - laughed while eating chicken wings in wedding attire, watched the sunset paint the canyon gold, and stopped to stargaze on the drive back. A romantic way to end an incredible day.

When they returned to the Airbnb, their families had set up a late-night cake celebration so they could all end the night together.

Their day worked because it was built with intention — private where it mattered most, shared where it felt meaningful.

If you're dreaming of a wedding day that honors your connection and your people, we’d love to help you craft it. Reach out!

As the government shutdown continues, you may be wondering - how could this affect your elopement plans in the national parks?!

Most importantly, there won't be any new special use permits for elopement ceremonies issued by the National park service until after the shutdown.

You should still get your application in asap so that when the parks reopen your permit in cue to be reviewed for approval.

I'd recommend applying earlier than later since the rangers will be backed up once in office.

If you already have an elopement ceremony permit with a national park it is still be honored, however, you need to be prepared for there to be little to no services available or rangers in the parks.

How do you prepare for this?
✨ Bring your own toilet paper and trash bag, leave nothing behind.
✨ Be safe, be prepared. Have all your maps downloaded, bring water and snacks.
✨ Be a good steward, pick up trash others have left behind. Keep an eye out for anyone else there that may need help.

Additionally, we don't know when the shut down will end. If you're hoping to elope between now and March in a National Park and you don't have a permit it may be time to start considering alternative locations like blm land or forest service land that doesn't require permits for ceremonies. Or state parks!

If you have a question about how the government shut down may affect your elopement plans ask me in the comments, happy to help!

🖤 ’Til Death (and Candy Corn) Do Us Part. 🖤

Angelique + Seth’s Halloween elopement in Moab wasn’t just spooky—it was spellbinding. ✨

Every detail was crafted with intention, filled with things that bring them joy and reflect who they are as people + a couple.

As a hauntingly romantic violin melody drifted across the desert, they shared their vows overlooking the vast red rock—marrying in a place as bold and beautiful as their love.

They wanted a day that felt like them—where the wild landscape became their cathedral, and love looked a little like courage, adventure, and a shared grin before stepping toward a cliff edge.

After saying “I do,” they celebrated with cake by the fire, laughter echoing through the canyons, and a slow walk beneath the stars in Arches National Park.

It couldn’t have been a more fitting day for two souls who love all things spooky—whose tattoos of pumpkins, candy corn, and matching knives have long told the story of their shared passion for Halloween and all things beautifully eerie.

Love doesn’t have to fit any mold. It just has to be yours. 🎃

✨ If you’ve ever dreamed of crafting a wedding day that feels completely, wildly, and weirdly you, we’re here to make that happen.

Tag your partner or send us a message to start dreaming up your own version of “’til death do us part.” ⚰️

Your elopement day is your day to celebrate how you want, without a single thing to worry about.

It's freeing.

It's fun.

It's in the moment.

It's a day where you get to play, enjoy yourself and live your life to the fullest.

Create memories filled with laughter, joy and romance.

So do, what that means to you.

For some that's hiking to the top of a mountain, or a heli ride to a glacier or rappelling down a slot canyon.

For Courtney + Riley it was diving into the ocean together - who cares if it was pouring rain! - then cozying up together in sweats to eat, drink and be merry reading their vows.

This is your reminder that you have full on permission to just be yourself - loudly. ✨
