Hiking Elopement Packages planned around terrain, pace, and presence - not hours
Built like your best day on the trail, where nothing feels rushed, staged, or performed... just lived
Based in North Georgia • Hiking elopements across the U.S. & worldwide
Here's What I know About you
If you're here, you already feel it...
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.
Someone who actually understands hiking. Someone who knows when to push forward, when to slow down, and how to build a day that feels natural from start to finish.
You need someone who actually understands how this works
You don't just need a photographer for this.
You need me - someone who actually knows how a trail day works
So when it comes to your wedding day, I'm not guessing.
So you can stay grounded, present, and fully in it.
I'm Bryan and I've built my life around this.
And if you're hiking on your wedding day, this isn't just about photos. It's terrain. Pacing. Knowing when to push and when to slow down. That's the difference between a day that feels rushed and one that feels right.
My life is outside. I train on trails. I hike. I pay attention to the details most people miss. How the weather shifts, how the light moves, and how a hike feels halfway through.
I’ll help you choose the right route, build a timeline that actually breathes, plan for real conditions, and keep the vibes high....
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF…
You're not here for a production. You want something real.
A trail that means something, not an aisle.
The conversations. The rhythm. The quiet moments in between the big ones.
Someone who knows the outdoors and how to hold your day steady.
Less about how it looks and more about how it felt to live it.
You care more about how the day feels than how it photographs
You’d rather wake up and hike somewhere meaningful than stand in front of a crowd
You love the process as much as the summit
You want a guide, not just a photographer
You value depth over spectacle
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.
So I don't build packages around time. I design your wedding day as a Route.
Why This Works Better for hiking elopements
Coverage is designed around your experience —
not the other way around.
But your best days outside? You've never measured those in hours. You measure them in the pace, the climb, and the feeling when you reach the summit.
Each Route is built around how you want the day to feel not just how fast it needs to move.
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.
This isn't built around hours
Most photographers sell time. I design Routes built around terrain, pace, and how you want the day to feel.
"He was really fun to hang out with for the entire day! As an added bonus, the pictures are absolutely breathtaking!"
"Saying that Bryan was an incredible photographer for our wedding day is an understatement! I love how he really got to know us leading up to our day and truly took the time to understand what we wanted out of our day. He was so helpful throughout the entire planning process, from helping us select our hiking wedding location, providing vendor ideas for us, and being able to answer any questions we had. Plus, he was so fun to hang out with for the entire day! As an added bonus, the pictures are absolutely breathtaking! I highly recommend him to anyone!"

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%.

If this feels like your kind of day, don’t overthink it.
You might just know you want to be outside. Or that you don’t want your wedding to feel like a production.
That’s enough to start. --> All you need to do right now is reach out.
"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!"

No-stress planning with me and have your dream elopement
Getting married in nature. Now it's time to take what’s been living in your head and turning it into something real, steady, and deeply you.
Here’s how we build that day together — one intentional step at a time.
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.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT ANSWERS
As soon as you feel ready! Most couples book 6–12 months out, but I also leave room for last-minute adventurers. Once you know you want to elope, we’ll make it happen!
Every package includes intentional planning support, sneak peeks in 48 hours, full gallery delivery in 4 weeks, and photography that feels effortless and true to you. You also get location scouting, timeline help, and someone in your corner who cares deeply about your experience. I've got you!
Perfect! Most couples I work with aren’t, and honestly, that’s what makes the photos so good! I’ll guide you just enough so you feel comfortable and I will create space for you to be yourselves.
If you want a paved overlook, I’m probably not your guy.
If you want fresh air, movement, and a wedding day that feels earned in some way — even gently — then yes. Hiking is at the heart of what I do.
What matters most isn’t the distance. It’s being outside, moving together, and building a day that feels intentional and fully you.
Absolutely! Whether it’s just the two of you or a small group of the people you love most, we’ll create a plan that feels meaningful, intimate, and totally you! For logistics and location purposes, I ask that the total number of people be kept under 30 people. Some Public Lands are becoming more strict on elopements so the less people the easier it is to get approved for a permit.
No problem! That’s part of what I help with! I’ll suggest spots based on what you love and need: views, accessibility, privacy, and vibe—and we’ll narrow it down together. It's honestly one of my favorite things to do for my couples and don't let it hold you back from inquiring!
Heck yes! I’m based in the Southeast, but I’ll go wherever your love leads. My travel fees are included in your package—no hidden costs, no stress.
That’s exactly what the free planning call is for! We’ll talk through what your day could actually look and feel like, not just the timeline, but the vibe you want. The truth is, the best photos happen when you’re not rushed. When you’ve got room to breathe, explore, soak it all in. This isn’t a photoshoot, it’s your wedding day. You deserve to live it, not power through it. I’ll help you figure out what that means for you two!
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!!

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.
