WILD ELEMENTS PHOTOGRAPHY

Documentary Film Elopement Photographer

Destination Wedding & Elopement Photography

By Ciana Salisbury

Does a traditional wedding ceremony feel outdated or unoriginal to you?
Are you craving a celebration that’s coated in intimacy and adventure, but still remains a reflection of who you are?
Does the idea of doing Things differently – off the beaten path – make your heart skip a beat?

You’re not alone in wanting something different, something less curated for everyone else, and more meaningful to you. Emotion over expectation, presence over performance, and value over tradition.

I’M CIANA

As a Documentary Film Elopement Photographer, I’ve spent over half a decade helping couples like you realize the freedom that comes with stepping outside of the box, and stepping into a wedding experience that looks and feels like you.

Together we’ll shape the ideas and desires you’ve been carrying without a blueprint, designing an elopement that’s soulfully grounded and unmistakably authentic to you.

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.

  • 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.”
