An elopement centered around the couple!? No way!

Months ago Sam and John got engaged and told no one. They decided to elope and then tell their families they eloped with a video Jesse made for them at their “engagement party.” It was all very hush hush!

They wanted the experience of getting married to be focused on their love for one another and to do it in a beautiful place just the two of them.

I think their story is a very important one to share. Because for as long as marriage, especially weddings, has been a mainstream thing. Doing it surrounded by people and stuff has become overly complicated. As well as a distraction.

The whole reason for even having a wedding is for and because of the couple. But somewhere along the way it got muddled up to becoming more about having a big party focused on taking care of everyone else. If that’s what you want, more power to you! But for Jesse and I and our business, wemte passionate about wanting to strip all that extra stuff away and reconnect the word “wedding” with what it’s really all about...

You two. Your love & devotion. Adventure in the great outdoors!
If that sounds like a better plan to you, then you found your photo/video team!

Holy moly it feel like it’s been forever since I posted! So what better way to get myself “back in the game” than posting some photos so beautiful that they legit made me happy cry while I was taking them.

HOLY AMAZEBALLS! By far the most badass elopement teaser ever done by my husband, business partner, and videographer: @jessebbutler

I seriously cannot stop watching it! Kacie & Cody are just the coolest couple ever and having their love story as the driving force was the *chef’s kiss* to their adventure elopement!

We love our job and are so excited to have the change to opportunity to capture love stories again and again and again all over the world!
