But all you can think about is the excitement of a grand adventure! Maybe the thought crosses your mind of adventuring with your fiance, visiting different national parks and forests, or traveling to that destination you’ve always been dreaming about visiting!
This is how we came to the realization that an elopement is the ultimate way to marry (heh heh) the two concepts together! Why not go on an epic adventure with your fiance and get married! No worrying about all the boring wedding details or everyone else’s happiness except yours; instead you get to plan out an epic adventure together.

We feel most alive exploring somewhere wild, it’s why we’ve traveled to a combined 9 countries and 17 U.S National Parks. We’re explorers at heart, just like you.
And there’s nothing better than making friends while exploring how beautiful this earth can be. So there’s no strangers here, only new friends and shared experiences!
Let us be your go-to team for elopement expertise, travel tips, logistics planning, backup plans, and most importantly, your trusted friends along the way! So you can just sit back and dream up your epic once-in-a-lifetime elopement experience, without worrying about all the planning.
We know the worries of going against tradition. That feeling of guilt for putting your relationship and your love for adventure first. We’re here to give you the courage to live life a little more wildly, to break free of your day-to-day life, and to put your happiness first.
Because we believe that having an authentic and adventurous wedding day is the best way to start your marriage. It’s why we eloped too!
"We had never met before that day, but [their] energy makes you feel like you've been friends forever, and man do they take some KILLER photos. I got teary eyed when I opened the photo album, these are photos I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you again Wild Wayfarer Photography!"
- Abby & Taylor
With our extensive travels, we’ve compiled a list of amazing locations and will help you choose one that matches the adventure you’re dreaming of. You’ll also get access to our vendor & airbnb recommendations, and activity ideas that make your adventure feel that much more epic, all catered to you and your dream elopement day.
You chose this path because you want an experience! You are looking for that epic adventure of a lifetime! But you’re worried about doing things differently and you feel like there’s no one to help you plan… So we’re here to support you every step of the way! Need a friend to talk about how epic your day is going to be? Need experts who know the best times of year for a certain location? We’ve got you! And on the day, we come prepared with anything you need: extra bobby pins, tissues, an umbrella, extra water, sunscreen (just to name a few), so if you forget something, we'll make sure it doesn't effect your day.
you're not alone in planning your dream day
After our many zoom calls, we’ll feel like long lost friends! And because we’re a husband and wife team, you get two different perspectives, not just in your photos, but in planning your dream elopement too.
"Showing up for our big day had a whirlwind of nerves, but being photographed by Lauren and Blake was such a relieving point. When we took our elopement photos with them, they both had us really enjoy being in the biggest moment of our lives, while also laughing with them and becoming friends, which is not something I knew we were signing up for, but was a HUGE bonus!!! They're seriously so special and I really genuinely don’t say that lightly. Our pictures came out better than perfect and we both feel that they really captured our relationship in the most special way possible. Booking with them is the smartest decision anyone can make. They are truly talented, wonderful people."

Not giving yourself the whole day (or two) to travel, adventure and experience things is kind of like walking out in the middle of a movie… It leaves you unfulfilled, and when you look back it feels like you missed out on so many experiences and amazing memories.
You get to include epic activities, more adventure, and create an amazing experience focusing on your love!
You remember how it felt. You remember the way you laughed so hard you cried, or how it felt standing on the top of the world. The way the flowers bloomed beneath your feet and the way your partner made you feel sharing their vows. Your whole story from start to finish.
You get to share that experience with those dearest to you!
And you get to relive those moments again and again, flicking through your album pages in the years to come. Or remembering that fuzzy feeling everytime you look at your elopement photos hung up on your wall.
We know when planning an elopement, it can feel overwhelming and it can feel lonely. That’s why we want you to know that we are there for you every step of the way. You’re not just another couple, we treat you like friends. We’ll cheer you on, laugh along with you, and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
Filled with activity ideas, best places to get your attire, travel tips and so much more.
We capture the real moments, the laughter, the feeling of running around in the meadows, the sheer grandness of the earth around you.
We want you to really experience your elopement day! After all it’s not a 10 hour photoshoot!! That’s why we make space for you to do your own thing! While we also may give you prompts so you’re not stuck wondering what to do, we know when to step back and let the natural moments happen!
Funny enough, we dont have many photos together, and some of our most treasured memories are captured on a polaroid! That's why we want to include polaroids of your day, because nothing can compare to holding a physical memory of the most important day of your life! Plus, when we say goodbye, we want you to have something physical that you can put up on your wall as soon as you get home!
Whether you're traveling to Santorini, Iceland, or Peru, we'll meet you there! Sometimes the best adventures are in new exciting locations that exist on your bucketlist, so go chase them! With our extensive travel expertise, we'll make sure you have a once-in-a-lifetime elopement!
