What an adventure elopement really means

An elopement isn’t about running away to get married in secret — it’s about choosing your way of celebrating love. No timelines packed with traditions you don’t care about. No stress trying to please everyone else. Just the two of you (or a handful of your closest people), focusing on what actually matters: your love and your story.

Adventure elopements are about creating a day that feels alive. Want to watch the sunrise over Yosemite’s cliffs? Hike through wildflower meadows? Exchange vows on a hidden trail in the North Cascades? Or camp under the stars after a weekend-long celebration? You get to decide. Your wedding can be anything you imagine — and I’ll be there to help bring it all to life.

When you look back on your photos, I don’t want you to just see what happened. I want you to feel it all over again — the joy, the laughter, the quiet in-between moments, and the epic views that took your breath away. This is what makes eloping so powerful: it’s not just a wedding day, it’s the adventure of your life.

Your love story deserves more than ordinary

Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like checking boxes on a timeline or forcing yourselves into traditions that don’t matter to you. It’s not about stiff poses or rushing through moments just to keep up with the schedule — it’s about slowing down, breathing it all in, and being fully present with your partner. An elopement gives you permission to create a day that feels like your relationship: real, intentional, adventurous, and completely your own. You can watch the sunrise together on a mountaintop, hike hand-in-hand to a hidden alpine lake, exchange vows by the ocean, or spend the afternoon exploring trails with your dog. The beauty of eloping is that there are no rules — just the freedom to design a day that truly celebrates your love story.

Photos that make you feel your day all over again

Your elopement photos should be so much more than pretty pictures. They should be living memories — the kind that transport you back to the moment you said your vows, the sound of your laughter echoing in the mountains, the feeling of wind in your hair, the tears running down your partner’s face, and the quiet in-between moments that made the day uniquely yours. I don’t just capture the big sweeping landscapes (though those are epic too); I focus on the details, the emotions, the unscripted moments you didn’t even notice at the time. Years from now, when you flip through your gallery, I want you to feel your elopement as vividly as the day it happened — alive, joyful, adventurous, and completely unforgettable.

HELL YES, you’re doing the damn thing!!

Hey, I’m Kendall, and I’m here to make sure your elopement is everything you’ve dreamed of—and more. This isn’t about following rules or checking boxes. It’s about creating a wedding day that screams you—full of adventure, laughter, epic views, and moments so real they take your breath away. Whether you’re imagining saying “I do” on a mountain top in California, barefoot on a Lake Tahoe beach, exploring a national park across the U.S., or jetting off for an international elopement, I’m ready to chase that adventure with you.

Here’s the thing: your elopement is your story, and your story deserves someone who gets it. I’ve lived out of suitcases for months at a time, explored 8 countries solo, and now I teach wilderness skills at Lake Tahoe Community College. That means when your elopement turns into a real adventure (which it absolutely will), I’m not just snapping photos—I’m making sure we do it safely, have the most fun possible, and capture every wild, magical moment along the way.

I’m all about real, raw, unapologetic moments. The stolen glances, the laughter that makes your cheeks hurt, the quiet, intimate moments where it’s just the two of you—and yes, the epic landscapes that take your breath away. My job is to make sure you feel completely at ease while your love story unfolds naturally, authentically, and adventurously.

Whether we’re hiking to a hidden lake, dancing in the rain, or soaking up that “just us” moment in the middle of nowhere, this day is about celebrating your love in your way. And I’ll be there every step of the way, camera in hand, making sure you get photos that aren’t just beautiful—they’re alive.

Ready to make your dream elopement happen? Let’s freaking go.
