We are elopement photographers, but also
So. Much. More.
we're dan + Laura Pinckard
It all started when we got married in 2016. Back then, photography was just a hobby for us, and we thought “eloping” was just running away to Vegas.
We had a 200-guest wedding, had a family friend do our pictures, and ended up with SO many regrets.
When we learned that eloping was an option, we wished we could go back in time, but we can’t. What we can do, though, is help YOU have a wedding that you won’t regret.
Yes, we’re photographers. But what we’re truly passionate about is helping couples have a day that they love, focus on what matters most.
We are elopement experts who help you have a wedding that you'll never regret
the word "elopement" doesn't mean what it used to.
It’s no longer about running away & getting married in secret.
Today, eloping is about getting married in a way that reflects your relationship, in a way that makes you happy, in a place that is meaningful to you.
No old-fashioned checklists, gaudy frills, or performing for the in-laws required.
Just you, your beloved, and a magical place to call your own.

Here are some common questions we get about elopements + photography
That really depends on the season, but the earlier the better! If you are flexible with the date, at least a few months in advance. If you want to elope on a specific day, you should reach out at least a year in advance to be safe!
We typically start off with a phone call, and once we have some basic details (e.g. date, general location, overall vision), we’ll send you a link to our booking portal! After you book, we spend the next several weeks/months helping you plan your dream elopement!
That depends on a few factors! Most couples invest between $6,000-10,000. If you contact us, we’d be happy to give you a quote that matches your dream elopement!
Our base package includes a full day (8 hours). That does NOT mean that we have to follow you around all day, but it does mean that we will capture all of the moments that you want to remember forever!
Only if by “photoshoot” you mean the best day of your lives that happens to be documented along the way. Your elopement should be filled with whatever is most exciting, memorable, relaxing, or [insert any positive adjective] for you two as a couple! We’ll just take photos as you have a blast.
We’re not technically “planners” per se, but we’re WAY more than just elopement photographers. We are here to help with as much as we can, whether that be chatting about the timeline, researching locations, recommending vendors, etc. We’ll also be sending you helpful resources along the way!
We don’t have a hard and fast rule, but elopements tend to have under 20 guests. We also shoot weddings with more guests, depending on the details! It definitely doesn’t hurt to reach out, even if you’re having 827 guests.
THINK ELOPING in the adirondacks MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you don’t want the pressure of a full-blown wedding, don’t want to conform to the expectations of 150 guests, and would rather have a day that is 100% focused on you & your marriage… You should strongly consider an elopement.
Your wedding doesn’t have to fit into society’s mold.
You can do it YOUR way.
