MEET YOUR ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT
PHOTOGRAPHER, PLANNER, AND GUIDE

HEY IM KELCEE

ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m your wedding day story teller. I strive to create the most stress free, candid, and authentic elopement experience rather than posed ‘smile at the camera’ photos.

Your wedding gallery will be a true reflection of your wedding day you get to look back on and think ‘I can’t believe we did that!’. From the details of your rings to the photos where you’re standing next to a big mountain and you look so small – your tears, laughter, smiles and endless emotions will be captured in every photo.

I love photographing adventurous elopements like yours because you choose joy.

  • You choose to escape traditions and adventure the endless possibilities to having a wedding that REFLECTS YOU.
  • You choose a wedding that reflects YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
  • Your wedding day that tells YOUR LOVE STORY.

That is what Escape and Adventure is all about.

WHY ELOPE?

MY DEFINITION OF AN ELOPEMENT

An elopement is an intentional wedding experience focused on your love story and celebrating your marriage in a way that’s uniquely you.

Your wedding day is the day you commit your love to each other forever and can be absolutely anything you want it to be.
From a Lord of the Rings elopement to a forest themed intimate wedding you have endless opportunities to choose from.

Choose each other. Choose experience over aesthetics. Choose to escape and adventure.

WHAT IS ESCAPE AND ADVENTURE?

ES·CAPE AND AD·VEN·TURE

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT EXPERIENCING THE PRESENT MOMENT

One reason why I fell in love with photography is how it preserves some of the most precious moments frozen in time. Photos stop time and candidly capture memories that will be with you forever.

YOUR WEDDING DAY IS MADE UP OF MOMENTS YOU GET TO CHERISH FOREVER

You deserve to look back on your elopement photos and remember all the crazy & amazing memories you had. What do you imagine that looking like?

I’ll help you design your ‘perfect day’ you didn’t even know was possible. Your story starts with you and your wedding dreams. The world is your escape and adventure. Anything is possible!

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE BIGGEST ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIFE, MARRIAGE!!

Eloping is one of the most intentional, connective, and freeing ways to say “I do’! You have no rules to follow on how to create the most amazing and perfect day that is true to your love story.

Your elopement is an intimate wedding experience where you have permission to be your awesome selves and do whatever your heart desires to celebrate your marriage.

Your wedding day is a reflection of your relationship and the start of your next big adventure together.

So why settle for traditions when you have the endless possibilities and whole world to explore?!

WONDERING WHAT IT’S LIKE TO ESCAPE AND ADVENTURE?

“She seriously cares about you, your experience, your photos, your well-being, literally everything. She does her research on everything such as permits or if bathrooms are located near where you adventure. She provides SOOO much information and updates you and checks in on you throughout your planning. Seriously she’s so sweet and so amazing. I am already recommending her to others. Her prices are seriously worth all the work, time, and effort she puts into her job and into you. Seriously I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Amazing 10000000/10”

ELOPEMENT PLANNING TIPS

HAVE A QUESTION?

I AM DOWN TO TRAVEL ANYWHERE YOU WANT ME TO BE

My bags are all packed and ready to hop on a plane and fly to your dream adventure wedding destination, wherever you want it to be!

IT’S YOUR WEDDING DAY! YOU DECIDE HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU’D LIKE TO BE WITH YOU

Ideally if you are wanting to celebrate your wedding day outdoors in a beautiful location I recommend 15 people or less in total. This is because some public lands do not allow a large amount of people in one area and follows Leave No Trace, so the less people you have with you the easier it is to be approved for a permit.

This does not mean you should be limited on how many people can attend! If you want to have more than 15 people I recommend having an intimate wedding at a venue, a private home, a winery, or your favorite restaurant with private space.

Unless there is a major weather condition, road closures, or event that would make it unsafe to elope then we would continue with your elopement to your pre-planned backup location or change your elopement time or date if the unsafe conditions continue.

Weeks leading up to your elopement date I will be keeping an eye on the weather and road conditions and keep you updated on any changes that may effect your elopement plans!

LET ME ANSWER THAT WITH ONE WORD… ANYTHING!! OR, LET ME DRAW A PICTURE FOR YOU

– You wake up before the sun rises getting ready behind with only a headlamp as your light source.
– You take a nap on a hammock or tent in the middle of a forest after exchanging vows on the cliffside.
– Go 4×4 racing on the sand dunes.
– Watch the sun set in a hot air balloon.
– Have a dinner cooked by a private chef in your airBnB..

Those are just a few of hundred different options on the top of my head. Which one speaks out to you?

ESCAPE AND ADVENTURE IS ABOUT ESCAPING TRADITIONS AND ADVENTURING THE AMAZING WORLD WE LIVE IN

Yes you absolutely can find easier locations with stunning backdrops for your elopement. However, the easier the spot is to access the more crowded it will be (like Cathedral Rock in Sedona for example). If you are wanting a more secluded location I highly recommend eloping on weekdays and/or early mornings and be open to more private location options that require a 4×4 vehicle, boat, kayak, helicopter, etc.

Eloping is for everyone no matter what your adventure experience is. Here at Escape and Adventure I focus more on adventurous weddings and experiences. That means my couples are celebrating their marriage all day adventuring different locations, off-roading, rock climbing, horseback riding, helicopter riding, scuba diving, kayaking, and more during their elopement.

If you’d rather have a short and simple elopement experience or your wedding vision does not connect with what I offer, please contact me for other photographer recommendations! There is a photographer out there for everyone and I believe you deserve to connect with a photographer who will be as excited for your elopement as you are! I personally connect more with adventurous couples who want to experience outdoor activities and explore the world together.

IF YOU WANT YOUR MARRIAGE TO BE LEGAL, YES!

You do need a wedding officiant (in most states of the U.S) and two witnesses to legally marry you and sign that marriage license.

Side Note: I am an ordained officiant so I can perform your ceremony and sign your marriage license if you are wanting a “just us” wedding experience.

In the states of Colorado, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and in Washington D.C, they all allow what is called “self-solemnizing” but have different requirements.

YES YES YES!!!

Your wedding day is the day you commit your love to each other forever. Just because you signed your marriage license already doesn’t mean you can’t get married the way you want!

You already got the legal paperwork out of the way, now it’s time to plan your adventure!
