what we have
planned
2 "all-day" ADVENTURE ELOPEMENTS:
4 COUPLES / 4 SHOOTS / 2 ELOPEMENTS / 2 CASUAL SHOOTS
But let’s not just call them “Styled Shoots”. These shoots mimic real elopements. They are planned out from beginning to end, just like an actual elopement. You’re walking away with so much more than “pretty photos” for your hero website image and viral-potential insta post. You’re walking away with a full realistic gallery of a real elopement experience. We’re creating intentional images built upon our storytelling methods – allowing your potential clients to truly envision themselves in this story.

Horseback Riding Elopement Activity
This isn’t just another pretty shoot - this is the kind of portfolio moment that stops people mid-scroll.
As part of this content day, you’ll capture a couple riding horseback on a ranch just outside of Grand Teton National Park - a true bucket-list experience that adventurous couples dream of. This isn’t staged or surface-level. It’s the real deal, the kind of epic storyline that shows your work goes beyond portraits to document once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
Having images like this instantly positions you as the go-to photographer for couples who want more than just a view… they want a full-on experience. This is the kind of shoot that books dream clients over and over again.

An Intimate Content Day Experience
Because we’ve all been there – knocking elbows and fighting for the center shot. But that won’t be here. Our shooting groups will stay small. And the photographer’s you’re shooting alongside? You’ll call those your friends. An intimate setting for fun elopement adventures, exploring our National Parks together and creating an adventure of a lifetime.
A focus on diversity and inclusivity
Eloping is for everyone. And it’s important for us to showcase that in every single aspect of our businesses. Elope Academy prioritizes couples that are local to the culture of the area that we are traveling to, as well as BIPOC & LGBTQ+ couples.
An Informational Guide of the Area
As soon as you sign-up, I’ll send you a full informational guide with everything you need to know. The best way to travel to our content day, where to stay locally, activities in the area, favorite recreational hikes & things to see – everything that you (and your future elopement couples 😉) would need to know traveling to the area for the very first time!
Guidance on obtaining special National Park Permitting and Knowledge of photographing inside of a National Park as well as Leave No Trace Principles
I will guide you through the process of obtaining special use permitting for the National Park. This is a process you will encounter when photographing your future elopement couples in National Parks, it’s very important to stay up to date on the rules & regulations that come with working inside of the National Parks! We will also go over the Leave No Trace principles and why it’s important to understand our impact on the environment that we work in!
VIP Attendee chat Group
You’ll get immediate access to a VIP group with all of your fellow attendee friends! Most attendees come alone – not knowing anyone that’s going! This is a great way to meet the others & plan any carpools/coordinate travel/share lodging!
Networking & Community
You’re going to be immersed in this content day experience with other elopement photographers who are exactly where you are. You’re going to leave this content day with so much more than just content & a unique experience. You’re going to leave with lifelong friends and elopement-industry connections. It’s not something that most attendees think about before attending, but it’s a takeaway that ends up becoming priceless.
Not included: Lodging, Transportation, Park Entry Fee, Individual NP Photo/Film Permits and all other personal expenses

These content days are put on with INTENTION. Intentional, realistic elopement content that your ideal client can truly see themselves in. My drive as a host and business coach is seeing my students succeed – everything that is showcased in each shoot is very meticulously planned out and strategically mapped out to bring your business exactly where you want it to be.
It's very important to us to keep the shooting groups small, and include two of our couples at each shoot location! This ensures that we can break the group up into two small groups, and rotate equally between each couple. We want to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity at shooting, and that everyone has the opportunity to be photographing at all times during the shoots! This process has worked SO well!
Absolutely! All attendees will have access to the VIP attendee group – where you can coordinate travel and/or carpools with other attendees! Attendees often come to content days not knowing anyone else, so this is a great way to meet beforehand!
Leave No Trace is very important for us to understand & educate our attendees – especially since we are often working in nature. I am a Leave No Trace certified photographer – having researched and completed a course. Beyond this, Elope Academy educates each and every attendee on best practices for our impact on the environment and continues to educate while on the “field”.
Nope! I will explicitly advertise on any event that requires 1+ mile hiking! Most of the locations I find are gem locations that are easily accessible! No hiking experience required! For this Content Day, there is little to no hiking involved!
You should fly into Jackson Hole Airport (JAC). The closest town to Grand Teton NP is Jackson, Wyoming, to the south, the village of Teton Village, Wyoming, near the park's western edge, and Driggs, Idaho, further west across Teton Pass.
