Should I have a
Destination Micro-Wedding or a Destination Elopement?
Here are the six key differences.
Destination Micro-Weddings
1. Micro-weddings are smaller in nature—an intimate family gathering from both sides of less than 10 guests.
2. A typical micro-wedding involves us capturing getting-ready, (first look), the ceremony, family photos, and the couple's photos only.
3. Much like elopements, micro-weddings are emotional events. In our experience, emotions are heightened when friends, family, and guests are present. You'll feel their energy in the room.
4. There's more coordination involved with the family, such as when to be ready, ceremony site details, car rides, etc.
5. Your energy is split between your significant other and guests. This is important for others wanting to spend it with close family and friends.
6. Micro-weddings often come with traditional expectations from family, such as lineups, a family officiant, and family photos.
Destination Elopements
1. Elopements are structured around the sun, lighting, weather, and your will to elope. Overall, you'll feel more grounded in a natural environment.
2. You're spending 95% of your time with us, unless you bring your dog and a trusted friend/family member as an assistant.
3. Lots of "congratulations" from fellow travelers in the wild.
4. Your energy is focused more on your significant other and getting up a giant boulder in a dang dress!
5. Your venue is at a freakin' national or state park! We'll follow the local rules, but let loose and capture some magic with your lover.
6. Elopements throw the "rulebook" away, allowing you to create new traditions that actually feel like you.

Jonas went above and beyond to get photos of my Spouse and I at multiple locations in Rocky Mountain National Park, including the top of Trail Ridge Road. My family and friends love the pictures— they’ve printed and framed some of them. I definitely recommend Capture Your Legacy for any weddings/elopements, but especially those in national parks. We’re very happy with the results.

Other than Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, where have you been?
San Francisco Bay Area
Los Gatos is where our journey began, and the incredible diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area has truly forged our identity as photographers. Starting our business here gave us the invaluable experience needed to thrive in any environment, from the high-energy joy of grand South Asian celebrations to the quiet intimacy of wild elopements. We’ve spent years mastering the light in Napa Valley’s world-class vineyards and chasing the salt air along the most iconic engagement spots on historic Highway 1. Every corner of this region, whether it’s the urban sophistication of the city or the rugged coastal cliffs, has taught us how to document your legacy with precision and heart. This area represents our roots, and we carry the lessons learned from every same-sex marriage and coastal ceremony into every wedding we shoot today. It is a privilege to return to the places that shaped us, ensuring your story is captured with the seasoned perspective that only the Bay Area can provide.
Monterey Bay Area
Imagine capturing your wedding against the stunning backdrop of Monterey Bay, where California’s most breathtaking landscapes weave together history and untamed nature. This is not just a location; it's a journey that will define your love story. With our expertise as photographers, we specialize in transforming your special moments into timeless memories that resonate deeply.
Picture this: one moment, you're surrounded by the mystical redwood forests of Henry Cowell, and in the next, you're on the sun-kissed, iconic shores of Santa Cruz. The contrasts of this region create an unparalleled atmosphere for your celebration. We chase misty fog around the world-famous Lone Cypress on 17-Mile Drive, then bask in the refined, "Old World" charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea's historic hotels.
Whether you envision an adventurous elopement beneath the towering pines or a classic, sophisticated celebration at Monterey’s storied naval venues, we are dedicated to honoring the significance of your commitment. The light here possesses a cinematic quality that transforms every frame into a work of art.
Central California
Photographing weddings across Central California is more than just a job for us; it’s about capturing your legacy against the most breathtaking backdrops the Golden State has to offer. From the sun-drenched, rolling vineyards of Paso Robles to the dramatic, wind-swept cliffs of Ragged Point, we thrive on the raw beauty of the coast. Whether you are dreaming of an intimate ceremony overlooking the iconic Morro Rock or a playful, sandy celebration on Pismo Beach, we know how to chase the perfect light for your story. San Luis Obispo holds a special place in our hearts with its blend of historic charm and hidden natural gems, providing a versatile stage for every couple’s unique style. Further south, the "Old World" elegance of Santa Barbara offers a sophisticated finish to this stunning region, where white-washed architecture meets lush, coastal gardens. We’ve spent years mastering the nuances of the Central Coast's marine layer and golden hours, ensuring that every frame feels as soft, romantic, and authentic as the moment itself.
Sierra Nevada Mountains
Venture into the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and you’ll find a landscape that demands a photography style as grand as its granite peaks. Our work in this region takes us from the awe-inspiring cathedral of Yosemite Valley to the crystal-clear, alpine shores of Lake Tahoe, where every vista feels like a masterpiece. Whether you are exchanging vows beneath the towering ancient sequoias or planning an intimate lakeside ceremony in the charming gateway of Groveland, we specialize in capturing the rugged, high-altitude romance that defines these ranges. We thrive on the adventurous spirit of mountain weddings, navigating the dramatic shifts in light as the sun dips behind the jagged ridges of the High Sierra. From the vibrant wildflowers of early summer to the serene, snow-dusted silence of winter, we are dedicated to documenting your legacy against nature’s most powerful architecture. Every frame we capture reflects the raw, timeless beauty of the wilderness, ensuring your wedding story feels as vast and enduring as the mountains themselves.
Las Vegas
Stepping into the neon-lit heart of Las Vegas reveals a world where your wedding story can be as bold, timeless, or unconventional as you dare to dream. Our work in this legendary city spans from the high-energy glamour of the iconic Strip to the raw, red-rock majesty of Red Rock Canyon. Whether you are planning a chic, mid-century modern elopement at a vintage chapel or a sophisticated celebration in a luxury high-rise overlooking the desert skyline, we specialize in capturing the electric pulse of "Sin City." We thrive on the artistic challenge of Vegas, masterfully balancing the brilliant glow of neon signs with the soft, golden light that spills across the Mojave at dusk. From the hidden architectural gems of Downtown Fremont to the serene, open expanses of the Valley of Fire, we are dedicated to documenting your legacy against a backdrop that never sleeps. Every frame we capture reflects the vibrant spirit and cinematic flair of your union, ensuring your wedding story feels as legendary and unforgettable as the city itself.

Can you travel outside of
United States?
Short answer: yes
We've lived in six US states, and we're both born outside the US. When we had a corporate job, it was a two-year photography contract with Google to capture the national and State Parks of the United States. We're truly nomadic at heart, traveling nine months out of the year in different states and countries. We feel the need to move around, hiking every corner of every trail, jumping into springs, lakes, and oceans. Below are some recent works in Yosemite, Florida, Hawaii, Cancun, and Spain.
How do we handle permits for National Parks?
Most National Parks, such as Zion and Rocky Mountain National Park, require a Special Use Permit for ceremonies. Check the website of the national or state park where you want to hold your ceremony and reserve your date.
Do you offer hybrid "Video & Photo" coverage?
Yes, we provide both Photography and Videography! By booking us for both, you get a cohesive creative vision and a smaller, more intimate team on the ground. We also offer a specific "Video & Audio of your vows" add-on to ensure your most personal moments are preserved with high-quality sound.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
Our policy is rain or shine. We are prepared for all conditions unless the National Park Service advises of actual danger. Moody clouds and rain often create the most cinematic and editorial-style images, and we have the professional gear to keep shooting safely.
Can we include family members in our elopement?
Absolutely! While elopements are more intimate, you are welcome to bring your dog or a trusted friend or family member to assist. If you want a larger group, we suggest a micro-wedding approach where we capture a small ceremony before heading off for your private adventure session.
How far in advance should we book for international destinations?
For our 2026 international dates—including Spain, Portugal, Croatia, and Italy—we recommend booking at least 8–12 months in advance. This gives us enough time to coordinate travel logistics and scout the best hidden locations for your session.
Can we customize our own travel destination ?
Definitely, while our 2026 calendar shows where we’ll be—like Spain and Portugal in July or Italy in September—we are nomadic at heart and travel nine months out of the year. If you have a specific dream location outside of our current schedule, get in touch, and we can likely make it happen.
How do we handle transportation and crowds in busy locations?
While we do become your guide, photographer, and videographer, it's great to have a family member or friend serve as a designated driver in crowded areas where we can hop off, they find parking, and we reunite on the trail.
Are you connected with talented vendors?
Yes! Over the years, we've developed excellent relationships with vendors whom we now consider friends from all the states & countries we've worked in. You name it, we'll have someone in mind. If they're unavailable, we can find a new vendor referral and introduce you.
