Extreme Elopement at Twenty-Five Below Zero When Chelsea first approached me about her elopement, she explained that her and Justin had decided against a big wedding in favor of a courthouse ceremony, but they did still want great wedding photos to commemorate tying the knot! Currently, the couple resides in a town in Texas that Chelsea refers to as “quite unremarkable” (which I have to say, made me laugh) so she wanted, or probably a better word would be, craved, a location that was beautiful and epic!Originally, she mentioned possibly flying to Arizona, no specific time frame or season mentioned, but added if I had any other ideas to throw them her way. Immediately I thought of a place we had visited last fall … the Grand Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The only caveat - my specific vision lined up with a winter wonderland themed shoot. To my surprise, Chelsea was all for the idea. I explained in no uncertain terms that winter temperatures in the Tetons are brutal and she was still all for the idea. With that we quickly settled on mid-February for the photo shoot. Little did we know that the one week we chose would be the coldest temperatures Jackson Hole has and probably will see all season – by far!There is a back story to Chelsea and me. She is the youngest of four sisters and three brothers. She comes from a very large, close family. Over ...

Abby and Mitch - Adventurous Elopement Death Valley Abby asked us to be her elopement photographers for her and Mitch's elopement planned while visiting Las Vegas from the U.K.  She asked about doing her elopement photography at the Grand Canyon, but if we had any other suggestions let her know. We immediately suggested Death Valley which is amazing, unique and only a two hour drive from Las Vegas as compared to the four hours it would take to reach the Grand Canyon. We could not have been more exited, we travel there several time a year for our Nature's Album Workshops and absolutely love the landscapes and solitude you can find there. So we began planning this amazing shoot!Abby and Mitch met us in Pahrump and followed us to Death Valley. Our first stop, Amarogosa Opera House, was a must. If you find yourself in the area this is a must see. With all the history behind Marta Becket and her opera house it is truly an amazing story. We had never taken a single photo of the opera house and this was the perfect occasion. Once we saw Abby's wedding dress (she was stunning in it) and Mitch's suit and pocket watch (he looked very dapper) we knew how perfectly they were going to look standing in line at the Opera House. From there we headed out to Badwater Basin, the lowest spot in North America at 282 feet below sea level. This is where we made the mile long hike in ...

Elopement Photographers Sedona We were the wedding photographers for Kirsten and Brian's intimate wedding at The Creek House at the beautiful L'Auberge de Sedona. From the start they know they wanted to do a post wedding shoot in Sedona. This would allow they to spend more time with their close friends and family on the wedding day and still get amazing Sedona wedding photography. Kirsten had Events by Show Stoppers for the floral for her wedding day and recreate the exact wedding bouquet for the day after shoot. She didn't stop their she had Patricia Vega of Le Petit de Sedona do the same hair and make up for both days. We had made several suggestions for locations to do the post wedding photography and Kristen did choose our favorite over look to the shoot. We met Kirsten and Brian a drove them on the dirt road to start the photo shoot. We had such a blast with these two and took the shoot up until after dark and were able to get beautiful star pictures at the end. Take a look at these amazing post wedding photographs and you can see why we always look forward to photography weddings or elopements in Sedona. The panoramic views are world class. Wedding Venue: L'Auberge de SedonaFloral: Events by Show StoppersHair and Makeup: Le Petit de Sedona Spa
