Where we've been so far

a few more things you might still be wondering about...

(diving into some of our frequently asked questions)

While we've worked with couples on short-notice (a week before the elopement!!), it is generally a good idea to inquire at least a 8-15 months in advance to secure your desired date and allow time for the permitting process as needed. 

As part of a commitment to our faith, unfortunately, we are not ordained or licensed as officiants. We do know several amazing vendors though who are AMAZING at what they do and would be happy to refer them to you. 

Isaac is a full-time active service member for the SDANG. As a result of that, we have huge respect for military, law enforcement, and emergency responders. Sound like you? You qualify four our HERO discount. Thank you for what you do, truly. Aside from that, we also offer a discount for our bucket list locations! Travel is one of Sarah's biggest passions outside of photography. So far we've shot in 11/50 states. Before 2030, the goal is to hit every single state! Discount may only be applied to a full wedding or elopement day experience and is 10% off the booking price.

We do! Our hourly rate is only for elopements under four hours that are booked within the Black Hills of South Dakota and are generally less than four months in advance. Send us an inquiry form to get more information.

Absolutely. Not sure where is the best location for your big day? Let us do the scouting. It's part of the travel experience and the journey along the way. We love meeting up with couples prior to scout the perfect spots and have several favorites from the past we can share with you during the planning process! From local Hills venues to hidden trails or National Parks, we've got you covered. 

It's part of the experience, and we are ready. Sometimes rain or snow makes the experience that much more memorable and incredible. Imagine literally dancing in the rain while singing your favorite theatre show or quoting Lord of the Rings while trudging the snow in your own version of Caradhras and the Misty Mountains. Now that is an adventure. Just in case you'd like to stay dry though, we provide a detailed guide for packing essentials and have several clear umbrellas to capture the authenticity of the weather-y moment.
