Why Hire a Photo and Video Team for Your Elopement

When you’re planning an Yosemite elopement—especially somewhere as breathtaking as the Sierra or a destination in the wild—you want your experience to be seamless, intentional, and stress-free. One of the best decisions you can make? Hiring a photo and video team who already work together.

Here’s why choosing a combined elopement photo and video team can make all the difference on your day (and in your final gallery and film).

1. Seamless Collaboration, Zero Guesswork

A photo and video team that already works together knows how to anticipate each other’s movements, communicate silently, and flow through the day without getting in each other’s way.

No awkward overlap or competing directions
No double booking or conflicting creative styles
We’ve worked side-by-side on countless elopements—we know how to make the experience feel effortless

2. Unified Style and Storytelling

When you hire separate vendors, you may end up with a film and photo gallery that feel like they came from two different stories. When you work with us, your elopement is told as one cohesive visual narrative.

Consistent editing style across photo and film
Shared understanding of your vision and priorities
We’re both tuned into the emotional beats of the day

3. Fewer People, More Intimacy

Elopements are about intimacy, not an entourage. The fewer people involved, the more comfortable and connected you’ll feel.

No need for multiple assistants or gear-heavy crews
Just the two of us—your photographer and videographer in one aligned team
A calm, grounded presence who knows how to blend into the background

4. More Adventure, Less Fuss

We’re built for adventure—literally. Whether we’re hiking to a cliff edge, exploring alpine lakes, or chasing golden hour on a Tuolumne dome top, we move lightly and efficiently together.

We share gear, timelines, and planning tools such as info about Yosemite wedding permits
No scrambling for duplicate shots or coordinating multiple vendors
We can spend more time focusing on you and the moment

5. We Know What Matters Most

Because we work as a unified team, we capture both photo and video of your most sacred moments without missing a beat. We know when to switch roles, when to hang back, and when to step up.

Vows, first looks, quiet in-between moments—we’re dialed into the emotional flow of the day
You only have to communicate your vision once
Your experience comes first, always

6. Video Options for Every Story

Whether you’re looking for a simple way to relive the day or want your entire story told through film, we offer a range of elopement video options to match your vision:

Content Clips Only – Raw, beautifully captured moments delivered unedited, perfect for sharing or future DIY editing
Highlight Film – A 2–3 minute cinematic video set to licensed music, ideal for sharing with friends and family
Narrative Storytelling Film – A 5–6 minute deeply personal short film, complete with vows and ambient audio recorded from your day

With us, you don’t just get a photo gallery—you get the full experience, preserved in motion.

Ideal for Elopements & Intimate Weddings

We specialize in Yosemite elopements and small outdoor weddings—where storytelling and experience matter more than spectacle. If you’re eloping in Yosemite, the Eastern Sierra, or planning a destination wedding somewhere wild and beautiful, our photo + video team is ready to join you.
