Are you a couple who...

Wants to spend their wedding day together, focused on each other

Wants to invest their time, money, and energy in an amazing experience can be fully present for

Doesn't like being in the spotlight

Doesn't want the stress or drama that can come from planning a large-scale event

Loves to travel, adventure, and share new experiences together

If you gave a resounding "YES" in your head to any or all of these answers... 
Keep Scrolling!

Because YOU DESERVE to be happy on your wedding day, the entire day! Not just when the dance floor opens and you can finally breathe and have fun because everything else is done.

The day you get married should be about the two of you. Period. It should resemble who you are as a couple. It should allow you to be fully present with the person you're marrying. And it should be filled with happy memories that you experienced together.

And elopements allow you to DREAM BIG

Close your eyes and imagine what the best day looks like. What would you do from the moment you woke up? What would you eat or drink, what views do you see, what fun things are you doing?  Now imagine doing that with your partner for life on the day that you commit yourselves to one another! 

Sounds pretty great, right? I agree.

So right now - turn to your partner, call them or text them and say...

"LET'S ELOPE!"

Bet that felt good! But now comes the big question...

The good news is that you're right where you need to be at this moment! Because...

Wild North Weddings provides couples with both documentation of your wedding day and helps you create the best possible wedding experience from beginning to end.

Real Wedding Adventures

Kind Words

"SHE WAS THE ONE"

We’re not even home from our wedding yet, but Carly sent us a sneak peak before she left town and WOW! She’s amazing. She’s also a trooper. We absolutely needed an adventure photographer who could see our vision and literally get down & dirty hiking to our elopement location. SHE WAS THE ONE.

Our day started @ 3am at the bottom of the canyon in Zion NP hiking 7 miles roundtrip Observant Point to a cliff’s edge in 25° weather. Then it ended in a river bed at the bottom of another canyon with her capturing every single moment.

If you are looking for an “adventure photographer” look no further.

Thank you, Carly!

"She Was Up For Anything"

Carly was absolutely amazing to work with and we are so happy that we chose her to document our special day. She was easy going and communicative in the months and days leading up to our elopement and made us feel so comfortable on the day of. She was up for anything we wanted to do and really prioritized making sure we were having the best day. And the photographs turned out so much better than I could have expected! She did such an amazing job and I am so grateful to have had her there to capture the important moments of that day. I am looking forward to having these photographs to look back at over the years and reconnect with the beautiful emotions of the day. I 1,000% recommend Carly!

"Capturing the True Moments of Love"

We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Wild North Weddings! While planning our elopement-turned-micro wedding, we were incredibly lucky to find Carly. Carly is beyond talented in her art of photography, capturing the true moments of love in the most beautiful way. She was professional, personable, and always quick to respond. Carly truly listened to our dream and helped bring it to life. She made sure our wedding day felt balanced and effortless, all while allowing us to whisk her away for a fun, spontaneous lunch break! She truly went above and beyond. We can’t wait to continue growing with Carly. Thank you so much for making our dream of a wild and intimate Shenandoah National Park wedding come true!
