You deserve a mountaintop moment on your wedding day
If you’re here… you’re building a life rooted in connection, curiosity, and intentional choices.
You want a day where you can breathe again.
the kind that feels like coming home to who you really are
Your relationship is the kind that grows through road trips, long talks, hiking new trails, trying new things, and choosing adventure even when it means stepping outside the familiar.
The last thing you need is a wedding day that pulls you away from all that depth and turns it into a performance.
"From the very first moment, he made us feel comfortable, natural, and fully present in the moment."
"We had the most incredible experience working with Bryan. From the very first moment, he made us feel comfortable, natural, and fully present in the moment, which truly shows in the photos. The images are breathtaking, filled with emotion, and captured the scenery and our connection in such an authentic and artistic way. His eye for detail, lighting, and composition is exceptional! Every photo looks like a piece of art, and he managed to beautifully reflect exactly what we were dreaming of! We are deeply grateful for his professionalism, kindness, and talent. Thank you Bryan for turning one of our dreams into reality and giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!"

It’s about why you’re there and who you are together
It takes a photographer who knows how to read a moment, hold space for the real stuff, and make you forget the camera is even there. A photographer who knows the trail, the terrain, the weather, and the rhythm of a good hike.
- Alive
- True to your connection
- Rooted in your values
You deserve a mountaintop moment where you feel free, connected, and fully alive. I promise to give you just that.
To have these images, you need a space to feel safe enough to be vulnerable.
Because your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a chapter of your life you’ll return to over and over again — through images that are:
Yes, that bucket-list location is important, but more than that…
You step onto a trail and something softens. All the noise falls away.
It’s just you two, choosing each other. It's about what hiking means to you.
Let's Full-send Your Wedding Day
A note from your elopement photographer
That's the energy I bring. I’m here to not only hike alongside you, but to have your back 100%.
- You’re comfortable
- You’re grounded
- You feel safe enough to be vulnerable, playful, present and fully yourselves
- You look back and say, “We weren’t posing. We were living."
Photographing elopements in the u.S. and anywhere that has a hike with a view.
Here’s what matters to me about your elopement day:
My whole purpose as your elopement photographer is to create a full-send environment where you don’t have to shrink yourself, fit the mold, or “behave” . Life's too short for behaving! Where you can drop your shoulders, let your weird and beautiful selves show up, and feel completely free to live in your own love story.
Because I’ve been the person trying to fit the mold. I’ve felt the pressure.
I know what it’s like to choose the “expected” version of a wedding day and walk away wishing there had been more space to breathe, more time to be present, more of me in the experience.
I never want another couple to feel that way.
Hey, I'm Bryan - the only guy willing to go all-in on hiking elopements
"He wasn’t just a photographer, he was a friend. He became a calming presence, our biggest supporter, and someone who truly saw us."
"I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to describing how grateful we are for Bryan! Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. His eye for detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotion is unmatched. These aren’t just pictures, they are memories we will cherish forever. The entire experience was seamless. Everything was beautiful, flexible and go with the flow which is up my alley. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, who will make you feel comfortable, and who will give you the gift of reliving your happiest moments, this is your guy. We couldn’t imagine our day without him, we are truly thankful!"

My Core Values
That drive Your experience
Every love story deserves a mountaintop moment.
Connection first: Every choice we make for your wedding day centers on your relationship.
Presence over perfection: Your moments matter more than anything staged. Your photos will reflect that.
Adventure with intention: We chase adventures that mean something to you.
Authenticity: You get to show up fully, weird flag flying.
Why A Hiking Elopement Expert Matters
So you can focus on having the best day ever
Because hiking elopements aren’t just “pretty views.” They’re weather shifts, trail navigation, early starts, rocky terrain, pacing, and big emotions happening all at once.
And when you’re on a ridgeline choosing each other, the last thing you need is someone guessing who doesn’t actually hike themselves.
- Hiking expertise
You’ll never feel lost, unsafe, or rushed on the trail. Every step is planned for your comfort and connection. - Full-send mindset
Your day isn’t about poses or perfection, it’s about showing up fully as yourselves. - Presence over perfection
The best images happen when you’re living, not performing. - Calm, guiding presence
You get someone who sees you, knows when to step in, and knows when to get out of the way.
Not every photographer can do this kind of day - here’s why I can:
"If you're considering an elopement where you spend the day doing things you love with your spouse and have it all documented beautifully, I cannot recommend Bryan enough."
"Bryan is fantastic at what he does. First of all, he took the time to get to know us as a couple by conducting multiple virtual meetings and really deep diving into our love story. This helped us when it came to wedding day because we felt so comfortable with him! He also created a timeline of events which was so helpful and put less stress on me! Our elopment consisted of hiking and canoeing, and Bryan being the adventure seeker like we are spent 8 hours documenting our day through camera. He even brought his kayak so he could capture some epic photos of us in our canoe paddling and exchanging personal vows! When we received our photos, we were speechless. They are all so incredible that we can't choose a favorite! He captured our love perfectly!"

You’re meant to fully live your wedding
This is your permission slip
It’s about leaning into the moment, your moment, without apology.
It’s about letting the mountains hold space for your story — the raw parts, the soft parts, the wild parts.
It’s about giving yourself permission to have a wedding day that doesn’t feel like anyone else’s.

"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!!"

Although I am based in Georgia, that's not the only place I'm willing to follow you on your adventure. I am all about exploring places that light up the part of you that craves a little wild, a little wonder, and a day that feels like freedom.
How do you do that? Two ways:
- You could have a big, bold adventure — a trail you've never walked before but always wanted to, a landscape that feels completely new, or a place that pushes you just outside their comfort zone in the best way.
- You could do something familiar — the mountain you hike every fall, the overlook that’s already part of your story - a place that holds meaning because it’s been there for so many chapters already.
Both are valid. Both are powerful. If you’re dreaming up a place that matters to you, I’m already in.
