Capturing Wildly Connected Elopements.
From connection to capture, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
We are here to provide couples with our time and resources to plan a perfect elopement day resulting in the space and experience to have an emotive and connected way to start off their marriage reflecting fulling in them as a couple. We thoroughly believe adventure elopements are the most sincere and natural way to get married. The day should be about you two. We believe the outdoors provides a space to freely express yourself and have the most calming day. As your photographers we strive to capture images that tell your love story, authentically and artistically.
Adventure and Vow was started in 2018 after Traci went on a trip in the middle of winter to Iceland where she got to capture a small intimate elopement ceremony alongside an icy waterfall at sunrise. It was monumentally moving to me to witness such authentic love with no stress, no fuss and the purity of the experience somewhere so beautiful. Here we thoroughly believe adventure elopements are the most sincere and natural way to get married. The day should be about you two. We believe the outdoors provides a space to freely express yourself and have the connective day to yourself, each other and the environment.

Values:
Elopement weddings are extremely dear to our hearts and we are very passionate about them for a lot of reasons, with that comes some very important values to the Adventure and Vow brand and us personally.
We 100% believe that any love story is worthy of a special wedding day. This is a judgement free zone. We do not discriminate against any skin color, religion, lifestyle, etc. We are here to serve any couple that wants an authentic, connective and adventurous stress-free wedding experience.
We also believe that every single person and couple is different. This is one reason we believe so full heartily in elopements. Following a set of traditions that come from thousands of years ago does not offer you a wedding day that speaks to who you two are. We want to help you plan a day that is a perfect reflection of who you are and what you two stand for. This also means we promise not to treat any couple in a cookie cutter manner. We sit with each couple on calls, read their questionnaires to fully understand what type of experience you are looking for, things that matter to you, etc. This helps us curate a list of locations for you, activities and help you in the logistics of planning this day.
Know we are here for the stoke. Any adventure, we are down. We will not quiver away from cliff edges, we won’t turn your down on any miles of a hike. We are 100% here to help you plan the logistics of any adventure and of course there the day of to capture the epic-ness. We also do not think you are wedding planners, we don’t expect you to be, that is what we are here for help with the logistics of legally getting married on trail, connecting with vendors and more.
You are not here to model! You two have your own love language and we want you to be true to who you are as a couple. This is a day for you two to connect and celebrate. While we are with you on this day with our cameras, it is important to truly know we are here to document your love the way it is.
We also love Mother Earth so much! She is our home and she is so full of beauty. We want to care for her the best we can and insure future couples will get to elope in these epic places. We are trained in Leave No Trace. We follow it closely on elopement days and when we are not working and out just for play.
“Since we had never been to the PNW, Traci provided us with insight on the different national parks to help us narrow our elopement down to Mt. Rainer based on what we were looking for. She provided us with recommended vendors and spent hours finding the spot that I had found for our ceremony which turned out to be the perfect spot. We appreciated her scouting the area prior to the day for different photo opportunities as we received lots of pictures with different scenery (lake, wooded, mountains, etc). She even brought a pop up tent to change along the trail for added privacy. Traci was easy going, sweet, creative, and made the day relaxing and fun. She captured us ”sled riding” down the snow covered mountain in our wedding clothes and many other great moments. She sent a few photos over that night which we sent to friends and family. We really appreciated this and they were excited to see some pictures so quickly. She captured us perfectly and the lighting of the photos was amazing. The only problem we have now is figuring out which ones to print out on our wall. Booking Traci will not only give you the best photographer, but someone to help make your dream wedding come true!” - Lisa
Van based, meaning we live where your elopement is …
Why does this matter for you?? We have a lot of knowledge about locations in many different parts of the world to help you select the best elopement location for your wedding day. We have hiked and traveled all over Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Iceland and many more places. We base ourselves out of Sedona during the cold months and out of Washington during the hot months. We have a deep love for traveling and exploring new places, no matter how far your elopement may be from Arizona or Washington we are all in. We are constantly seeking out new elopement location ideas for our couples. So basically, our home is your elopement location!
So WHERE exactly are we and when??
