Backcountry & Adventure Elopement Videographer

For couples who would rather hike miles into the mountains than walk down an aisle.

You’re not planning a traditional wedding—and your film shouldn’t feel like one.

I film elopements in places that require effort to reach… because those places mean something.

Why I Film Backcountry Elopements

We don’t just film in the mountains—We live for them.

We’ve spent days deep in the backcountry filtering water from alpine streams, waking up before sunrise to glassy lakes filled with rising fish, and hiking miles just to find places that feel untouched.

By day three, something shifts. You disconnect. The noise fades. And for a moment, it feels like you could live out there forever… or at least until the food runs out.

That’s the feeling we want to capture for you.

Not just what your elopement looked like—but what it felt like to be out there together.

Built for the Adventure

We’ve hiked and filmed in remote locations like the Rae Lakes Loop in Kings Canyon National Park—carrying gear, planning routes, and adapting to whatever the mountains throw at us.

Whether your elopement is a short 2–4 mile hike or a multi-day backpacking trip, we’re prepared for it.

Archival Elopement Film

This is your legacy film.

Every usable moment from your elopement—your hike, conversations, vows, reactions, and the in-between moments—is carefully preserved so you can come back to it years from now and experience it again.

This isn’t just a recap.

It’s the closest thing to stepping back into that day—hearing your voices, feeling the environment, and remembering what it was like to stand together in a place most people will never go.

For many couples, this becomes one of the most meaningful things they own.

3–5 Minute Highlight Film

This is where your story really comes to life.

We take your full experience—from the hike in, to the quiet moments, to your vows—and shape it into a cinematic film that feels like your day.

1 Minute Highlight Film

Perfect for sharing your day with friends and family.

Fast, emotional, and designed for social media—this is the version people will actually watch all the way through.

What It’s Like Working With us

From the first email to your final film, you’re not figuring this out alone.

Tabatha leads the experience on the front end—handling communication, timelines, and making sure everything stays organized and stress-free. She helps guide the planning so your day flows naturally and nothing feels rushed.

On the day of your elopement, Jake is right there with you—comfortable in the mountains, carrying the gear, and focused on capturing your experience as it unfolds.

Together, we help with location ideas, hiking logistics, and building a timeline around light, weather, and trail conditions—so your day feels intentional, not overwhelming.

The goal is simple: a calm, low-pressure experience where you can be fully present, knowing everything is taken care of.

This Might Be the Right Fit for You

Elopements aren’t about doing less—they’re about choosing what matters.

A big wedding can quickly become about guest lists, expectations, and trying to make everyone else happy. Somewhere in that, the two of you can get lost.

An elopement strips that away.

It gives you space to be present, to choose a place that feels meaningful, and to build a day around what you actually love—whether that’s hiking into the mountains, standing by an alpine lake, or simply being together without distractions.

If you care more about how your day feels than how it looks…
If you want something real, intentional, and yours…

You’re probably in the right place.
