HIKING ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
For couples who want to trade the aisle for the trail
Based in Georgia, USA, capturing hiking elopements worldwide
Marriage is an adventure
It requires presence, intentional steps, fun, and earning it.
This is exactly how we were meant to get married.
and hiking is the perfect metaphor for it
It's a wedding day worth having.
Not a day where you’re posing for hours with people you barely know…
But a day where you’re holding hands, breathing fresh mountain air, and looking at each other thinking
Summit to Forever™ Elopements
Because when you choose to get married in a place you had to earn with every step, those vows hit differently.
- It’s about the miles you walk together before you say your vows.
- The way your breath catches when you reach the summit together.
- The quiet, grounding pause right before you speak the words that will shape the rest of your life.
They sink deep. They last.
The heartbeat of how I serve you.
Introducing
Meet Your Hiking Wedding Sherpa
Camera in Hand, Boots On The Ground
Your hiking elopement photographer. A guy who feels most alive with dirt on his boots, a camera in his hands, and a trail that leads somewhere wild.
I’ve hiked in the rain, the fog, the snow, and had more “are we lost?” moments than I can count.
And here’s what I know about you:
The journey matters just as much as the destination.
That’s why my approach isn’t about just snapping pretty photos at the top, it’s about telling the story of the entire day - from the trailhead to the summit, to the moment you say “forever."
Photographing elopements in the Southeast, Acadia National Park, Wyoming, and anywhere that has a hike with a view.

“Bryan is fantastic at what he does. First of all, he took the time really deep diving into our love story. He also created a timeline and put less stress on us! You can tell he loves what he does and truly cares about the couples he photographs."

"Bryan was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process! He was super intentional from the start! He sent over lots of helpful information in the beginning to help us get a better idea on what exactly we wanted our day to look like and then worked with us every step of the way to create it!"

Angie & Mark
"We felt so comfortable in the front of the camera, and the pictures turned out amazing! Along with the amazing pictures, Bryan also planned a timeline for our wedding day and gave us ideas of good photo locations to choose from taking a lot of the stress off of us."

Aili & Kyle
"Bryan was absolutely the best. He took time to get to know things about us and know what kind of vision we had. The day of our wedding he was very calm and professional. He didn't add any extra stress, he was great at being there in the moment capturing all of it!"
What I Bring to the Trail
So you can focus on having the best day ever
✓Hiking know-how – From hidden Georgia overlooks to remote peaks out West, and all over the world. I know how to plan the perfect hiking elopement because I’ve hiked 1200 miles myself.
✓ Your pace, your day – We’re not racing to a photo op. This is about soaking it in.
✓ Backup plans & weather smarts – Mother Nature does what she wants, but I’m an engineer turned photographer. So I literally have a degree in problem solving and I’m ready to solve them all for you!
✓ A chill guy who wants you to have fun – No stiff posing. No fake smiles. Just you, your person, and the wild. You want to have fun on your wedding day, so that’s exactly what we are going to do.
And the result? You’ll walk away with memories and wall worthy photos
What is A Hiking Elopement?
If we were sitting together, here’s what I’d tell you:
You don’t have to be a hardcore hiker. You just have to be ready for an adventure.
If you’re okay with your wedding dress picking up a little trail dust… if the idea of a champagne toast on a cliff edge makes you smile…
If you want a wedding story worth telling for the rest of your life — we’re going to get along great
And why it might be the right choice for you.
You Don’t Have to Be Hardcore, Just Hungry for Adventure
Intentional
Immersive
Connected

"A quality professional in every sense of the word, Bryan was truly excellent to work with. His approach is well thought out and very personalized; It was evident that he cares highly about his craft and his couples! I highly recommend Terschan Photography, my wife and I couldn't be happier with his work!"
Trisha + Joel
"The guy is pure magic behind the lens. Bryan didn't just take pictures; he practically bottled up the whole vibe of our day. Flip through the album, and it's like you're right back in the moment. What's so great about Bryan? No awkward poses, no cheesy stuff – just him blending into the background and capturing us being us. With Bryan, it was like hanging with an old friend who happened to be an amazing photographer. Zero stress, all good vibes. He turns your day into a visual masterpiece!"
Kevin + Cody
"If you're looking for someone who's going to capture the real, raw moments of your event, then Bryan is your guy. He helps with location, accommodations, you name it. He stays in touch periodically throughout the time before the event to help stay on top of things, which is really helpful if you're busy like me. He makes your vision come to life. We definitely made the right choice in photographer!!"

Terschan Photography was born from a love of adventure and a deep belief that weddings should feel wild, free, and true to you. It all started in the mountains of the Southeast, but my passion for capturing love in the great outdoors knows no boundaries.
The first elopement I ever shot was actually in Hawaii!
