"Having Jonas and Tatjana capture our elopement was truly one of the best decisions we've ever made."

Elopements are for the courageous, the adventurous, and those who seek both experiences and self-discovery with the person you love the most.

One-of-a-kind elopement experience
Direct access and support
We know the planning process can bring late-night thoughts, unexpected logistics questions, and moments where you just want to talk things through with someone who truly gets it. That’s why we’re here for you every step of the way — whether it’s a quick voice note at midnight or a detailed plan review, we’ll support you with steady guidance and genuine care until your dream day becomes reality.
Elopement inspiration
We’ve thoughtfully planned and photographed over 300 weddings and elopements, and we deeply understand the excitement, nerves, and big dreams you’re carrying as you envision your perfect day. That’s why we pour care into every meaningful detail, from activities that light you up to natural, authentic moments, florals, and the little things that will make your love story feel uniquely yours forever.
Expert timeline consultation
We’ll walk through your custom timeline together in detail, the beautiful flow, the potential hiccups we’ve seen before, and all the little things that turn a good day into an unforgettable one. We’ll help you feel confident, prepared, and excited, so your elopement unfolds naturally and stress-free, exactly as you imagined.
Vendor recommendation
Whether you need a planner, makeup artist, hairstylist, florist, or any other vendor, we’ve got you covered. We’ll either recommend trusted professionals we know and love or do thorough research to find the perfect match that aligns with your unique vision and style.
Our goal is to surround you with people who truly understand what this day means to you, so every detail feels seamless and personal.
Documentary-focused day
This is what elopements are truly all about. Capturing the real, heartfelt story of your day. From the sweetest, quietest in-between moments to the most meaningful vows and celebrations, we’ll be right there looking, listening, and feeling it with you. We document everything with care so you can relive the genuine emotions and magic for years to come.
An aerial perspective
If the location allows, we’ll fly the drone throughout the day to capture stunning aerial perspectives. Sweeping mountain vistas, intimate scenes from above, and everything in between. This adds beautiful variety and cinematic depth to your gallery, giving you a fuller, more immersive story of your elopement.
Empathetic poses and direction
We’ll meet you exactly where you are in terms of comfort and energy. Our goal is simple: help you feel completely at ease so you can truly enjoy the moment, find natural and unique ways to hold and connect with each other, and experience a real emotional mind-trip together.
Safety
We’re the Plan A-to-Z kind of planners. We’ll always start with your dream Plan A, but because we’re working with Mother Nature and the wild outdoors, we stay ready to adapt quickly and safely if needed. No matter the weather, location changes, or unexpected interruptions, we’ll protect the energy, excitement, and magic of your day so it still feels exactly like the elopement you imagined.
Comfort
We would never put you in a situation we wouldn’t feel completely comfortable doing ourselves. While we love chasing epic shots and trending angles, your safety and comfort always come first. Your life and peace of mind mean far more than any photograph. That philosophy also applies to posing: we keep things natural and authentic, never forcing awkward or uncomfortable positions.
Professional photo and video galleries
Your gallery lives on a platform built for the work we deliver. Full-resolution images, cinematic video, and drone footage in one beautifully organized space. You'll have 18 months to revisit, share with family, and download everything at full resolution.
Untouched raw footage
Most photographers and videographers keep the raw files. We don't. Every unedited video clip — multiple angles, pro audio, drone footage — gets uploaded to a private cloud for you to download. Once you have it, we remove it from our end. No subscription. No expiration date holding your memories hostage. You download it once, you own it forever.
Instant prints and album
Your gallery comes with a built-in print shop connected to professional labs — the same ones used by high-end studios. Order framed prints, albums, canvas wraps, or thank-you cards directly from your gallery without ever dealing with a third party. What gets printed is what gets passed down.
USA Mountain & Sea Experience - Pricing
Guided fun and epic photography
We've lived in and professionally photographed all five of these states: Utah, Florida, California, Colorado, and Arizona, the latter of which we call home. And before elopements, we were photographers for a search engine company that had us photograph in 42 states. Get four to nine hours with us to capture all the magic, whimsical moments, and stunning views that Mother Nature's playground has to offer.

Creativity unlocked
One of the main benefits of eloping in another country is that it will become our playground (within the boundaries of the laws and rules, of course). It always feels extra special to capture an elopement in another country, giving us an extra mile to shoot for, and most couples feel the same way. We push our physical and creative limits, giving you a gallery worth the planning.

Can you travel outside of
Arizona, Utah, and Colorado?
Short answer: yes
We've lived in five 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, as well as other special-interest sites. We're truly nomadic at heart, traveling for 9 months out of the year across different states and countries. We feel the need to move around, hiking every corner of every trail, jumping into springs, lakes, and oceans.
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. If you want information, check out our How To Elope guide or go directly to the permit section.
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?
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 ?
Yes! This is part of the process with us. What sets us apart is that when you hire us, you are in full control. We help you dream up an adventure you would be so proud of sharing with your children one day. During this journey, we'll work together to create something monumental and not just a standard elopement.
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.
