Hiking Elopement Packages built around presence - not hours

Based in North Georgia • Hiking elopements across the U.S. & worldwide
Here's What I know About you
If you're here, you've probably already figured it out..
the traditional wedding thing just isn't for you
You don't hike together to check a box.
You hike because it changes how you feel together.
The quiet moments. The rhythm.
The way you both become more present after a few miles.
That's what matters to you.
This isn't about epic photos only.
It's about how being outside makes you feel.
And building a wedding day that feels the same.
Most weddings are built around performance.
Yours doesn't have to be.
You don't just need a photographer for this.
You want a trail guide, not just a photographer
Because when your wedding day happens outside, those details matter.
So you can stay grounded, present, and fully in it.
I'm Bryan and I've built my life around this.
My life is outside. I spend my weekends on trails, training for races, exploring new routes, and paying attention to the things most people overlook. How weather changes throughout the day. How different terrain affects pace. Where crowds gather. Which overlooks actually feel peaceful. And how to build a timeline that leaves room to breathe.
I’ll help you choose the right route, build a timeline that actually breathes, plan for real conditions, and keep the vibes high....
Zero Stress. All good vibes!
I genuinely have no suggestions on anything he could have done better.
From the very first moment, he wasn’t just a photographer, he was a friend.
He has a calming personality that eases any nerves. It felt like we were hanging with a friend who just happened to bring a camera.
"He really puts his heart into what he does"

"What really makes Bryan different from other photographers, is that he was intentional at helping us to feel at ease and made sure that we were happy throughout the whole day. We promise you will not be disappointed with Bryan!
This is what My Couples Say it Actually Feels Like
Most wedding photography is sold like this:
4 hours. 8 hours. 10 hours.
That's why every package I offer is built as a custom Route—designed around your location, pace, and experience.
Why This Works Better for hiking elopements
Coverage is designed around your experience —
not the other way around.
But when was the last time you described your favorite trail day in hours?
You remember the conversation.
The view.
The feeling.
You get space to breathe. To slow down. To stay in it.
We still have a plan, but it fits you, not a clock.
Because when your day flows past blue hour. I stay.
When the conversation deepens on the trail… We don’t rush it.
When the weather shifts…We adapt.
No watching the time. No cutting moments short.
YOUR WEDDING DESERVES MORE THAN A TIME LIMIT
Most elopement packages are built around time
Mine are built around the experience you want to have

After your elopement, I design a custom print of the actual route we hiked — elevation lines, terrain, and the exact path you took that day — layered with a few of your favorite images from along the way. So you can point to that line on the map and say, “That’s where we started forever.”
A custom plan shaped around light, energy, hiking pace, and presence so the day unfolds naturally and unrushed. Plenty of space for breaks, slower moments, alternate routes, and backup plans that still feel intentional.
Permits, parking, microclimates, safety considerations, and the little things couples don’t know to ask about — already thought through so there is no stress for you.
I'll suggest local vendors I've worked with or vetted so you can have vendors that align with your goals, vision, and values.
A day built for how you move and experience the outdoors.
Award-winning photography that never pulls you out of the moment.
You’re not doing this alone and I'm behind you 100%.

Most photographers ask: "How many hours do you need?"

If this feels like your kind of day, don’t overthink it.

"Book him right now. Finding him was the biggest blessing!"
"Bryan is the absolute best! He is truly there for your best interest! We did not want anything cookie cutter, and he was all for taking our pictures for our elopement. He was great to work with and has a calming personality that eases any nerves. Neither of us enjoy having our pictures taken, but by the end of the day we were literally climbing trees to get the perfect shot! It felt like we were hanging with a friend who just happened to bring a camera! I HIGHLY recommend you book with him! Finding him was the biggest blessing and we cannot wait to share all of the pictures with everyone!"

Before You Reach Out, You Might Be Wondering...
No, you don't need to be a hardcore hiker. Yes, your parents can come. And yes, there's always a weather backup plan.
Absolutely. Many of my couples aren't hardcore hikers. Some choose longer trails, while others prefer short walks to scenic overlooks. Every Route is designed around your comfort level.
Yes. Many couples choose to include parents, siblings, or close friends. We'll simply find a location and timeline that works well for everyone involved. Or you can even do the hiking part on your own and include your guests for celebrations afterwards.
That's completely normal. Most couples come to me with a general idea of how they want the day to feel. I'll help narrow down locations based on scenery, accessibility, privacy, season, and overall experience.
We adapt.
Every elopement includes backup plans, alternate locations, and contingency options so weather becomes part of the adventure—not a source of stress.
Yes, please! While I'm based in North Georgia, I photograph hiking elopements across the Southeast, throughout the United States, and internationally. I'll go wherever you want to go!
A lot. Location scouting, permits, timeline creation, vendor recommendations, logistics, packing guidance, backup plans, and more. I'll walk alongside you through the entire process. No worries!
Fill out the inquiry form and we’ll hop on a call to make sure we’re a good fit. From there, it’s a signed contract + retainer payment to lock in your date. After that, the fun begins!!
If this feels like your kind of day, let’s start planning it!
You don’t need a full plan yet. Just a starting point. Tell me what you’re dreaming about, what you’re unsure of, or even just “we know we want to be outside.”
We’ll figure out the rest together.

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.
