The Avid Love
Experience™
A signature approach I’ve developed to help you slow down, savor your day, and create memories that strengthen your relationship long after the moment has passed.
It’s more than a photoshoot.
It’s a connection experience.
This is how we do it:
Every part of our process is designed to leave you more in love than when you arrived.

Intentional
Timeline & Location Design
Inspired by your story and dreams, I design a timeline that leaves room to breathe, explore, and have fun. Together, we choose landscapes that feel meaningful — places where your love can unfold naturally.
The process is collaborative, thoughtful, and deeply personal.
A Centering
Pre-elopement
moment
Before the day fully begins, we pause. A few quiet minutes to slow down, breathe, and step out of planning mode and into presence.
This grounding moment helps you experience your elopement not as a checklist, but as a meaningful memory.

The Avid Love Cards™ - Our Connection Prompts
During your elopement, we gently guide you with our signature Avid Love Cards™ — prompts designed to spark reflection, laughter, and connection.
These moments bring depth and authenticity to your experience, and you’ll take the deck home to continue using throughout your marriage.
Let's start planning together!
Our role is to support you with a calm, steady presence. We offer gentle guidance when needed, help you stay focused on each other, and create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable and free to be yourselves — so the day feels natural, not staged.
A Calming Presence Throughout Your Day
Let's start planning together!
Your photos aren’t meant to be viewed casually. When your gallery is ready, I guide you in turning your first viewing into a date — a moment to slow down, relive the day, and reconnect.
Afterward, you’ll receive monthly emails with simple date ideas and thoughtful ways to keep choosing each other long after the adventure ends.
Memories that become anchors

You don't need to have a date, location, or any activity ideas before you reach out. Helping you dream up all the little details is our favorite part!

Kylie & Craig's Experience
your wedding day should reflect who you are — and the life you’re building together.
We believe...
Some couples choose to exchange vows on a quiet overlook as the sun rises over the mountains.
Others begin their day with a slow morning in a cabin, reading letters they’ve written to each other before stepping outside into the beauty of God’s creation.
Some take a helicopter to a glacier.
Some hike together to a place that feels peaceful and wild.
Some share a simple picnic, a prayer together, or a quiet moment watching the light change across the landscape.
Your elopement day can hold adventure, wonder, and celebration — but the heart of it will always remain the same.
A day centered on your relationship.
Your faith.
And the covenant you’re making before God and each other.
However the day unfolds, our goal is simple: to help create a space where you can be fully present with one another, experience the beauty of the moment, and begin your marriage with joy, intention, and meaning.
A celebration shaped around your story, your faith, and the beauty of God’s creation.
Imagine the day you begin your marriage.
Every elopement we create is shaped by intention, care, and a deep respect for the commitment you’re making. From the very beginning, we walk alongside you — drawing on years of travel experience to thoughtfully plan logistics, timelines, and locations so your day unfolds with ease and meaning. Nothing is rushed, templated, or treated as one-size-fits-all.
Our investment reflects the time, presence, and flexibility required to create an experience that feels personal and unhurried. We take on a limited number of couples each year so every elopement is given the space and energy it deserves — allowing what we create together to feel genuine, joy-filled, and lasting.
You deserve a team that cares just as much about your experience as the images that come from it.

FAQ's
We do much more than document the day. From the beginning, we help you thoughtfully plan your elopement, wedding, or anniversary session — including locations, timelines, pacing, and meaningful moments — so the experience feels calm, intentional, and truly yours.
We offer thoughtfully planned elopements, intimate weddings, engagement sessions, and anniversary sessions. Each experience is approached with care and intention — from meaningful planning support to a calm, connected presence on the day itself. No matter the season or stage you’re in, our goal is to create an experience that feels personal, unhurried, and true to your relationship.
Honestly, most people do. Our approach is connection-focused rather than pose-focused, so you’re never asked to perform or feel “on.” Couples often tell us they forget they’re being photographed because the experience feels so natural.
Weather is part of the adventure — especially in wild places. We plan with flexibility in mind and build timelines that allow room to pivot if needed. Some of the most beautiful, emotional moments happen in unexpected conditions.
Of course. Elopements can look many different ways. Whether it’s just the two of you, a small group of loved ones, or your dog as a witness, we help design a day that feels right for you.
You’ll receive your photos and film through a beautifully designed online gallery with high-resolution, magazine-quality images and embedded videos. Your gallery is easy to share with family and friends and includes the option to order professional prints and albums — though you’re always welcome to print your images wherever you’d like.
As soon as you feel ready. Some couples reach out months ahead, others sooner. Dates are limited so we can give each couple the care they deserve, so reaching out early is always encouraged.
Yes — we offer both photography and videography, thoughtfully integrated so your day feels seamless and unintrusive. We’ll help you choose what best fits your vision and how you want to remember your day.
That’s completely okay — most couples don’t when they first reach out. You don’t need a location, timeline, or clear plan before contacting us. Our process is designed to meet you exactly where you are and guide you step by step. Together, we’ll shape an experience that feels aligned, intentional, and true to your relationship.
If you value presence over performance, connection over tradition, and want an elopement that feels calm, meaningful, and deeply personal — we’re likely a great fit. The best next step is reaching out so we can get to know each other.
