Adventure elopement & wedding photography told with emotion.

Since we only have a moment to capture your attention, we'll make it simple. As a husband & wife team based in Ohio and Florida, we shoot adventurous weddings and elopements all around the world and we love it. The connections between people matter to us a lot, so staged photos really aren't our thing. And who are you? You're the lovers, the adventurers, the scoundrels. Maybe the beaten path isn't for you. The truth is, a lot of photographers make art - we're committed to connecting with you personally along the way. What better way to document those fleeting bits of time? If doing things in a different, artistic way sounds like your jam, then we should chat to discuss your adventure. Let's grab a coffee or a beer!

Say your vows somewhere meaningful and intimate, so you can focus more on your love and commitment and less on what color linens should go on the tables.

Of all the human ideas, identity and belonging is one we seem to disagree over quite often. As with money, status, and power, we clamor for the satisfaction of wearing a title. To rest easy in what we know. And yet, whenever we walk into a room we have the opportunity to be fluid, to be limitless - so much more than a label. By responding to our surroundings with more consideration, kindness, and grace, perhaps we can transcend the idea of labels and titles altogether. This means embracing moments when our identity is challenged, and leaning into the pain of our obstacles. That’s where real growth happens... not by protecting ourselves from things that hurt. When I hear the phrase “positive vibes only,” it makes me wonder: how can forging happen without any fire? Strength can’t be achieved through bypassing discomfort. Be malleable and pliable instead. Hug the fire. 🔥 • • • • • #elopement #intimatewedding #elopementphotographer #elopementcollective #junebugweddings #indiewedding #weddingphotographer #seattleweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #bohowedding #indiebride #bohobride #elope #photobugcommunity #destinationwedding #bohoinspiration #engaged #seattlewedding #lakecushman

A gentle calm. That’s how I’d describe the rolling Blue Ridge area that weaves like patchwork through the Appalachian mountains. We are delighted as hell to announce another edition of Ramble this fall: Ramble Blue Ridge! Together with @levitijerina, @thecolagrossis, @roseyredphotography, and @foxandowlstudio, we’ll be camping and learning on a private mountaintop (you read that right) overlooking Asheville, NC. The incessant, chaotic humming of the creative world sometimes needs a place of quiet; a place to lean into relationships that lead to learning. What if we throw ego out the window? What if we quit playing into a culture of fame and celebrity? Let’s set those ideas on fire and replace them with some better ideas. We’re starting with confidence, but it goes a lot deeper. Let’s get there together. Early bird tickets are priced at $850! Snag a spot and join us this Sept. 11-14: @letsramble • • • • • #letsramble2018 #creativelearning #camping #adventure #notaworkshop #blueridgemountains #photography #levitijerina #roseyredphotography #thecolagrossis #thewayfarersphotography #foxandowlstudio #explore #blueridge #lookslikefilm #dirtybootsandmessyhair #unconventionalphotographer #firstsandlasts #loveandwildhearts
Recent thoughts about identity: What is it? What drives us to self-apply titles, labels... even personality and creativity itself? I don’t really know. But in the creative world there seems to be this giant rat race for legacy. A race I’m not sure can be “won.” Artistic identity, as with personal identity, is very difficult to actively strive toward. Maybe that’s because it’s ever-changing, a cascading set of parameters that defies itself the minute we attempt to rest in it. We may be better off allowing ourselves the freedom to ebb and flow, a vessel riding the wave of life. By perhaps leaning into such notions, maybe we can break free from trend and expectation. And hidden underneath is a wildly unique tapestry of being; a creativity that paints something much more honest... and far more interesting. Less copying, more invention. Less idolatry, more admiration. Less comparison, more confidence. • • • • • #elopement #intimatewedding #elopementphotographer #elopementcollective #junebugweddings #indiewedding #weddingphotographer #italyweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer #bohowedding #indiebride #bohobride #elope #photobugcommunity #destinationwedding #bohoinspiration #engaged #amalfiwedding #identity
