We are Paul & Katie, extreme adventure elopement photography & video artisans. We have love the craft most of our lives. Honestly, little else professionally gets us as fired up as filming couples on these intimate elopement and wedding journeys. To us, the beauty, contours and austerity of landscapes and venues that provide a uniquely honest backdrop for these holy passages, drive us to continue down this path. 

We wish we had the luxury for anything to be “good enough.” But we don’t. We're driven to continue in growth and development. We truly want to be the most competent love storyteller's we can possibly be. Our editing style continues to evolve and refine but we lean toward warmer-pushed film tones without compromising natural looking skin or skewing natural colors too far from what makes them so beautiful and authentic in reality. We want to produce clean imagery that will stand the test of time and look as good 50 years now as it does today.
