Booking dozens of vendors, coping with an ever-growing guest list, and arguing over linen colors and centerpieces just never sounded fun to us. Too often managing societal expectations and peer pressure results in someone saying, “Why don’t we just elope?” So, why don’t you?
If you’d rather start your marriage with a unique, unforgettable adventure without breaking the bank instead of planning a traditional ceremony and big, extravagant party, you’re not alone. We feel the same way. We favor big, shared adventures over large parties any day, and we want to help you celebrate: your love, your way.
We’re guessing you’re here because you love the outdoors and enjoy spending your free time hiking, camping, climbing, or paddling. Think about some of your favorite views, and imagine yourself in your desired wedding attire, exchanging vows before that vista. Perhaps you’re beside a peaceful lake, on a forest trail surrounded by vibrant fall foliage, or taking in the view from a scenic overlook or fire tower. The beautiful landscapes in the northeast United States do not require any decorations, and the ever-changing weather and light create endless opportunities for emotional moments and breath-taking photography.
If you want us to wake up at midnight and hike to a summit for your mountaintop sunrise ceremony, we'll totally do it. We're all about helping (and enabling) you to create whatever crazy adventure suits you, and we’ll capture the genuine smiles, the happy tears, and the authentic moments that fill your big day.
We know it takes a lot of work to do your research, find the best locations, and plan the perfect day – and you’re in luck, because our passion is planning and customizing all sorts of adventures, big and small, close to home or miles into the backcountry! With extensive knowledge of trails and viewpoints in the Adirondacks of New York, Green Mountains of Vermont, and White Mountains of New Hampshire, we offer site suggestions and provide special considerations for desired locations to help you plan at no extra charge. We also LOVE exploring new places all over the northeast, so send us your ideas and if we haven’t been there, we'll scout it out for you!

For adventures requiring 5+ hours for hiking, ceremony, & shooting time. In addition to the couple, officiant, and photographer(s), we allow up to 10 additional guests. Group sizes for hiking adventures are kept small to minimize our impact on the landscape & other hikers, and to follow group size regulations. Includes high-resolution digital files, a personal use print release, and all the planning assistance you desire! Additional travel fees may apply depending on driving time/distance required.
Half Day ($1,800+)
For more accessible destinations that don't require hours of hiking to reach, this includes up to 4 hours of photography coverage, high-resolution digital files, planning assistance, and a print release that allows you to print at your leisure. Additional guests are welcomed, but may be limited to respect land regulations where applicable. Additional travel fees may apply depending on driving time/distance required.
“Best photographer ever!! Thank you Stephanie for capturing us on our big day and seeing to it that our beloved mountains made a grand appearance too! I knew the day we got engaged you were the girl for the job and once I nailed down a “vision” for my wedding pictures, you made it all come to a reality.”
“Memories for life!
Stephanie is the only person I’d ever trust to take our wedding photos. She is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, goes above and beyond to capture every moment, down to earth, and her incredible portfolio of work speaks for itself. We had a true elopement (just us, a minister, and a witness) and Stephanie captured photos that we will treasure for a lifetime, and allowed us to share our special day with all of our loved ones that weren’t there. She sent us a handful of photos immediately(!) that we could share, and had all of them processed and back to us in a ridiculously quick timeframe. I still look at them every day, and we’ve been married for 3 months now! She even got a special request shot of us and our (very shy) beloved cat that is quite possibly the best picture in history. You will not regret hiring Stephanie, don’t hesitate a moment longer!! Worth every penny and more, you will not be disappointed.”
