Top 7 questions to ask your Adventure Elopement Photographer
Planning an adventure elopement is such an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Whether you’re envisioning exchanging vows on a mountaintop, by a serene alpine lake, or in the heart of a dense forest, the right adventure wedding photographer can make all the difference in capturing your unique love story. If you’re dreaming of a stunning outdoor ceremony, working with an experienced Montana wedding photographer can ensure your day is as magical as the location. But with so many options, how do you find the perfect fit?
Here are the top 7 questions you should ask your adventure elopement photographer—and how I ensure my couples have an unforgettable, dream wedding day.
1. What experience do you have with Adventure Elopements as an Adventure Photographer?
Adventure elopements are a whole different ballgame from traditional weddings. They often take place in remote locations, involve hiking or other outdoor activities, and require a photographer who knows how to roll with the unexpected—like a seasoned adventure photographer.
As a Montana-based elopement photographer, the adventures here are truly endless. I’ve even run an ultra marathon in Montana, so I know what it takes to embrace the rugged beauty of this state! With years of experience photographing adventure elopements, I’m more than just your adventure wedding photographer—I’m your guide. I’ve hiked countless trails, scouted hidden gems in nature, and adapted to unpredictable weather conditions.
Adventure is at the core of who I am. From mountain biking to climbing, yoga, and even skydiving—I live for those adrenaline-filled, breathtaking moments. My goal is to help you feel confident and relaxed, so you can focus on each other while I capture the magic of your incredible day.
2. How do you help with planning our elopement day?
Your photographer should be more than someone who shows up with a camera; they should be an integral part of your planning process, especially if they’re an experienced adventure photographer.
When you book with me, I don’t just show up—I partner with you to create a day that feels like you. From helping you find the perfect location to recommending trusted vendors and even building a timeline that maximizes your time in beautiful light, I’m here every step of the way. Think of me as your planner, location scout, and personal cheerleader rolled into one!

3. Do you know how to tell a story through photography?
Elopements are incredibly personal, and your photos should reflect that. It’s about more than just capturing pretty landscapes—it’s about documenting the connection, the quiet moments, and the emotions of your day.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. I don’t just take photos; I craft a narrative of your day that allows you to relive every laugh, tear, and vow for years to come. From candid moments during your hike to the epic kiss at sunset, your gallery will feel like your love story told through imagery by an adventure photographer.
4. How do you handle unpredictable outdoor elements?
Rain, wind, snow, or a sudden change in plans—it’s all part of the adventure! As a Montana wedding photographer, rolling with the weather is essential to creating an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
I thrive in the outdoors and always come prepared with backup plans, weather-ready gear, and the flexibility to adapt to any situation. If the forecast shifts or unexpected challenges arise, I’ll guide you through it seamlessly. My goal is to ensure you stay focused on the fun and joy of your special day while I capture the magic as your dedicated adventure photographer.
5. What is included in your Adventure Elopement Packages?
Transparency is key when it comes to pricing and packages, and you should always know what’s included before booking.
My adventure elopement packages are tailored to give you everything you need for a stress-free and memorable experience. With Full Day coverage (meaning no hourly caps!), a second shooter, film photography, social media BTS coordinator, travel within the USA, and professionally edited images delivered via an online gallery.

6. Can we bring our own ideas and vision to the table?
Your adventure elopement should feel authentic to you as a couple, and as a Montana wedding photographer, one of my greatest joys is helping bring your unique story to life. A great photographer doesn’t just document the day—they listen to your ideas and weave them into the experience.
One of my favorite things a client has ever suggested was bringing meaningful items, like photos, guitars, or other personal keepsakes, to tell their story. It added such a personal touch and made their photos even more special. I encourage all my couples to dream big! Want to bring a canoe, have a champagne toast on a mountaintop, or end the day by jumping into a lake? Let’s make it happen. Together, we’ll collaborate to bring your vision to life, blending your unique ideas with my expertise to ensure every moment is beautifully captured by your adventure photographer.
7. What makes you different from other Adventure Photographers?
Adventure elopements are incredibly personal, and your photographer should feel like the right fit for you—not just because of their skills, but because of who they are.
What sets me apart as a Montana wedding photographer is my deep passion for storytelling, my commitment to creating a stress-free experience, and my love for nature and adventure. I’ve lived in many different places across the world, but I’m so blessed to call Montana my home. Having captured weddings in Butte, Missoula, Whitefish, Kalispell, and Glacier, I can confidently say that Montana is truly a one-of-a-kind state. I believe your elopement should feel like an extension of your relationship—fun, intimate, and meaningful. I’ll be there not just to document your day but to help you create the most unforgettable experience. If you want to read more about me, check out my “about me” tab here!

If you’re ready to turn your elopement dreams into reality, I’d love to help you make it happen with my skills as both an adventure photographer and a Montana wedding photographer.
