Our biggest belief in life is that you should do whatever makes you happy -- and if that means you want to get married on top of a mountain, you have come to the right place. We believe that the love between two people comes before all, and it deserves to be celebrated in the most adventurous way possible.
it's all about the love
Why the hell should everyone get married in the same way? Sure, we are all "tying the knot," but that doesn't mean it has to literally look and feel the same as well. The problem with the traditional wedding timeline/expectations is that there is no room for YOU. Wanting a day that is more authentically you, intimate, and without the frills of a big traditional wedding, is not selfish. It's exactly what it should be. An elopement should encapsulate your love in a way that is real and reflective of your personalities. So let's make it happen.
Is the idea of planning a wedding exactly like every other wedding sound boring to you? We agree.

7/7 end
As the photographer, Yara has an innate ability to see the shot before she takes it and authentically capture the person/couple she is photographing. I never felt like I had to pose or fake laugh, but felt totally comfortable. Yara made me feel like she wasn't just trying to make me look pretty in a photo, but capture me/us in such a way that highlights the best parts of me/us. Just after a few conversations, they made it clear that they don't just want beautiful photos for their portfolio, but truly want us to have these memories. I was blow away with the experience and the photos I received. Booking with them will not be something your regret—in fact, you'll probably thank yourself. I seriously cannot recommend them enough!!

Thankful is an understatement.
Yara and Christian are all good things and more! They were both very responsive both before and after Edwin and I's engagement shoot and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They made Edwin and I feel super comfortable and I loved how we were just encouraged to be ourselves and they did the rest! Even Edwin says, "they were amaaaazing" hahaha. Would love to work with them again in the future!
- Madi & Edwin
We absolutely love working with Christian and Yara!! They are so fun to be around and their work is incredible. Our first engagement shoot wasn’t exactly ideal weather wise but by the pictures no one ever would have been able to tell. Our wedding pictures still make us cry when we look at them. They are so precious and beautiful, every detail we could have asked for was captured so elegantly. we can’t recommend them enough and we can’t wait to work with them in the future!!

We grew up in an environment where being different, or wanting different things for your life, was frowned upon. We want people to feel beautiful, to feel authentically themselves, to feel like a main character in a movie, and to know that you should do what makes YOU happy-- because at the end of the day, all that matters is the life and love you lead. We don't want to tell the same story over and over, but to celebrate all kinds of different stories. If you connect to our message and our work, we'd love to hear from you and create with you.
We want to be a space for people to celebrate themselves, and their love, in a way that is authentic to them and not forced.

our why
We have heard this our whole photography career-- do not worry about this at all!!! My approach is very much "you guys chill and hang, and let me do all the work." I promise it won't feel awkward, it's just going to be a fun time hanging with your love and you'll get pretty photos out of it :)
We are so awkward and don't know how to pose-- help?
For elopements, they happen rain or shine as so much planning and booking has gone into the preparation for that day. Of course, in the event of something CRAZY, we will definitely figure something out together! For adventure sessions, we always monitor weather closely and will keep in contact with you about back up plans!
What if we need to reschedule?
You can check out the steps above to see our process to getting booked, but essentially you will reach out, and if we both decide we should work together, you'll put down a 25% booking fee to secure your date and once the contract is signed, its OFFICIALLLL
How do I get booked?
Although most people just an elopement with the two of them, I love the idea of bringing your favorite people to celebrate you. Our Elopements are up to 5 people and micro-weddings are up to 15 - 30 people depending on venue.

FAQs
No literally everything's great and we are here to help you!!! If you have more questions, send us an email!
For elopements, just try to be as early as possible! We reccomend at LEAST 3 months prior (for getting permits and things!) but if you decide to tie the knot last minute, still hit us up! For adventure sessions, at least a month out would be ideal!
We will send you a personalized online gallery link with all of your precious photos, where you can view them, save them and also have them printed at the highest quality! You can expect your wedding photos (after 72 hour sneak peeks!) within 4-6 weeks, and adventure sessions in about 2-4!
If you are worried about outfits or choosing locations, do not worry. We are here to help you with those things too! You'll receive a guide that will tell you what to expect, what outfits are best, and we'll chat a ton about the perfect location for you :)
