The Adventurous Destination elopement of your dreams is out there waiting for you… Where will the freedom to marry each other on your own terms take you in the world?

Adventurous Destination Elopement Photographer

What if your wedding wasn’t confined by walls, guest lists, or societal expectations?

What if it was perched on the edge of a cliff in Iceland, unfolding beneath a 10-story waterfall as the mist from its descent catches the fly-aways in your hair while you read your vows? What if it unraveled slowly across an entire weekend trekking through the cloud forests of Costa Rica, or beneath the alpenglow of the Dolomites? Or, what if you share your first kiss on a private safari in South Africa or on the bow of a catamaran cruising the Caribbean?

An adventurous destination elopement isn’t about “running away” to get married, it’s about choosing what’s right for you.

Let’s create an experience that’s bigger than your dreams, and rooted in the kind of freedom that makes your heart pulse with excitement. You deserve more than the bounds of tradition, you deserve something extraordinary. But above all, you deserve an elopement that looks and feels just like you – one that will make you say, “somebody pinch me, this can’t be real?!”.

I’M CIANA

As an Adventurous Destination Elopement Photographer, I don’t just help couples plan out-of-this-world elopement days – I help them live the kind story they’ll want to tell over and over again. After years of traveling with my partner, I’ve learned how the landscapes we move through shape who we are, the ways we love, and how we see the world. That understanding lives within every image I make, and every elopement I help bring to life.

For over half a decade, I’ve worked with couples who knew deep down that what they wanted defied tradition. They wanted something real, raw, and wildly personal. Together, we’ll take the vision you’ve been quietly carrying and turn it into a tangible, highly immersive wedding experience you’ll be raving about until the end of time.

A Wild Elements experience is for couples who want more out of their wedding day – it’s for those who want a story-focused experience worth remembering.

  • Mixed media photography coverage, including Digital, Film, and Polaroids.
  • A documentary-style approach centered around candid actions, uncoerced moments, and directional guidance to ensure a final collection of images that are honest, authentic, and elevated.
  • An exclusive 60+ page elopement guide filled with expert insight, guidance, and tips on top of a unique storyboarding strategy, and access to even more resources.
  • Thorough logistical planning, detailed permit assistance, and seamless experience curation for a well-rounded elopement celebration.
  • Unlimited planning calls and virtual meetings to ensure your vision stays both aligned, and at the forefront of the entire planning and preparation process.
  • Unwavering support throughout every step of the way, from the first conversation to the final gallery delivery, I’m here as your photographer and advocate.
You deserve to look back on your celebration without doubt, only the confidence that you chose a path that was yours all along.

“Ciana and Ryan do an amazing job at something I haven’t experienced through anyone else… and that is creating real, raw, genuine, memorable moments through the photography experience. We were able to relax and create naturally beautiful moments for them to photograph and tell our story because they made us feel so comfortable. Their passion for their work brings out your passion for each other. Their energy cultivates photos that have an incredible amount of emotion and depth.”

“We worked with Ciana and Ryan on an elopement shoot and they were a DREAM. My husband and I can get kind of shy in front of the camera but they brought out such a comfort level with us it felt incredibly natural. There was so much fun, laughter, and infectious joy during the whole shoot. We also brought our ten month old along and Ryan practically BABYSAT our daughter during the shoot she was full of giggles and smiles. Lastly it started to storm during our shoot and they did not complain once they were just so happy and adventurous. We will 1000% be working with them in the future. Ciana is so naturally talented and innovative and they work together so flawlessly it’s simply perfection.”
