"The best decision we ever made for our elopement"

more than just photographers
Planning an elopement shouldn’t feel like juggling a dozen different pieces.
We’re a family-run team based near Lake Tahoe, helping couples with the pieces that make the day feel easy — planning support, location guidance, photography, videography, officiating, and live music.
So instead of piecing everything together on your own, you can stay present, soak it in, and actually enjoy the day you came here for.
Hidden gems, beautiful light, permit details, and locations that actually fit the kind of day you want.
Planning support, photo, video, officiating, and live music — all working together from start to finish.
Personal enough to care deeply. Experienced enough to handle the details.

We live in the beautiful city of Grass Valley, CA, and there's no place quite like home, so we primarily focus on elopements in Northern California.
Not if you don’t want to! Remember, your elopement is yours, and we want it to reflect activities that are meaningful to you! We know all the best hiking and non-hiking spots with gorgeous views, and can even recommend ADA-accessible areas.
As soon as you know you want to work with us, it’s best to reach out! While we can accommodate much shorter timelines if our schedule is open, we suggest giving yourself at least six months' notice for a more comfortable, relaxed planning experience.
We can photograph rain or shine! However, California also has wildfires and snowstorms, so we choose to be flexible. We understand that sometimes things are out of anyone's control. If you're eloping during wildfire season or winter, we create multiple backup plans so we’re ready to pivot at a moment's notice. Luckily, California has so many fantastic locations that it's easy to find alternative options!
Absolutely! Kids and family are always welcome to join us. As a family of four, we make time for family adventures and bring our kiddos everywhere, so we love when couples bring them along! Our elopement packages and planning services are available for guest lists of 20 or fewer.

In most cases, yes—many elopement locations are dog-friendly. That said, every location has its own rules, permits, and leash requirements.Once we finalize your specific location, we’ll confirm what’s allowed and handle the logistics ahead of time so there are no surprises. If bringing your dog is important to you, we’ll make sure it’s factored into the planning from the start.
Yes, we offer video-only elopement coverage when available.
