Why Elope?

Eloping Is the Most Authentic Way to Say “I Do”

Because you can escape the stress & pressure of a traditional wedding, create meaningful memories in breathtaking locations, and focus on your love instead of a guest list.

We wish someone told us about eloping when we got married

When we got married in 2016, we thought “eloping” meant secretly running away to a courthouse. We had an overwhelming 200-guest wedding & barely spent any time together. That stressful day almost a decade ago influences everything we do now.

A year later, we fell in love with photographing elopements across the globe

We discovered elopements in 2017 and immediately fell in love with helping couples have epic, meaningful, stress-free wedding days. Since then, we’ve traveled across the country and around the world documenting adventure elopements in the most breathtaking locations.

Everything you need for an epic, stress-free elopement

It started as just photography but quickly evolved into so much more. We don’t just take pictures – we partner with you to plan & execute a day that feels authentic, epic, and stress-free, documenting all of the memories along the way.

Read what our couples have said about their elopements

We had the most AMAZING experience with Dan and Laura!! They were very communicative and so easy to work with. Our elopement plans had to change last minute due to weather and we were so grateful that they still found us such a wonderful spot for our ceremony and pictures. We felt calm and at peace in their hands and it made for a beautiful, unforgettable day. We were nervous about getting our picture taken and they were so nice and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. If you’re on the fence whether to elope or not, absolutely book an elopement with Dan and Laura. You will not regret it!

Dan and Laura were the easiest decision I made when it came to planning my elopement.

The quality of their photos are incredible and I will cherish my elopement photos for a lifetime. When my wedding ceremony site cancelled due to covid restrictions, Dan and Laura helped us pick the perfect place. They really listened to what I wanted. I could not be happier and hope to use their services again in the future!

The Pinckards are amazing! They shot our engagement photos, elopement, a fun shoot with hiking and water falls, and our wedding day!

We highly recommend using them for all your photo needs. Laura makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her photos are breath taking. Laura and Dan really listen to what you’re looking for and they make it happen!! They capture every moment perfectly! We can’t wait to shoot with them again!

The Pinckards are an amazing husband and wife duo! They are also just all around great genuine people. Laura and Dan go above and beyond when it comes to engagement and elopement photography. After we had our engagement shoot in negative degree temps and about 18 inches of fresh snow in Lake Placid in February, we knew they were the perfect photographers for our fall elopement. They helped with timing, what to bring, what to wear, etc. which made the process stress-free! If you get a chance to book a shoot with them you really get a personalized experience and you will not regret it!

Dan and Laura are the BEST. Not only is their work amazing, they are so fun to work with!

For someone that hates being in photos and prefers to hide behind the camera, they made me feel comfortable and relaxed, which was super important to me. Our elopement was so fun! The photos are unbelievable. Exceeded any expectations. I am printing every single one and creating a photo collage wall. My husband will have a lot of frames to hang 😁 I cannot wait to book them again for couple sessions!!
