The experience
You bring the two of you.
I plan the entire journey
One person designs the ceremony, finds the ground, carries the logistics, then photographs and films the whole of it. You move, and pass through the chapters I sequenced until you reach the final gate: exchanging vows.

If the wedding stopped feeling like yours
It happens quietly. And it is reversible
Somewhere between the guest list you did not want and the venue tour you did not ask for, the day walked off without you. Eloping is how you take it back. An elopement is not a smaller wedding. It is the older thing the wedding was built on top of, with the parts that were never for you taken out.
We are the right fit if
You would rather speak your vows to each other than perform them for a room.
You want the ceremony to carry weight. A rite, not a checklist with confetti.
You want photographs and film that look like cinema, because the day is worth that.

Before anything else
Your story, played out in nature
I take the two of you through a story arc, staged in landscape. Your chapters play out with the scene matched to the feeling: the nervous hour somewhere enclosed and warm, the turn somewhere the ground opens up, the vow somewhere that makes you go quiet. The country is not a backdrop you stand in front of. It is cast, the way you would cast a part.
How many chapters you get is the whole of the difference between the tiers. That is why the circuit exists for Signature and Adventuremoon and not below them. An arc needs room to turn, and you cannot turn in half a day.
Blueprint · half a day
One city, and realistically one location. There is time for a single scene done properly, so that is what it is built as. No circuit, because there is nowhere to travel to and back from.
Signature · two days
Two days is where an arc becomes possible: somewhere to begin, somewhere to turn, somewhere to end. This is the first tier a circuit is designed for.
Adventuremoon · three days
Three days is the full circuit. More than one landscape, a road between them that belongs to the story, and enough time for weather to change its mind without costing you the ceremony.
Before the word gets used again
What a circuit actually is
It is a route, not a place. Instead of one town and one afternoon, you move through three or four locations over as many days, and each one is chosen to do something the others cannot. This is the default for Colombia and for Baja. It is not an upsell. It is how those countries are worth doing at all.
Why it is built that way. A vow needs a run up. Said in a room you walked into ten minutes earlier, it is a sentence you repeated. Said at the end of three days that have been quietly rearranging the two of you, it lands differently. Treat the elopement as a union in the cosmos rather than a contract signed inside the concrete prisons we call wedding halls, and the road between places stops being travel time. It becomes the part of the ceremony that happens before anyone speaks.
Why those places and not others. Two rules. The drive between chapters has to be short enough to be part of the day rather than a day lost to it, and no two chapters may feel the same. The Mountains circuit runs Medellín, then Guatapé and the rock above the water, then the wax palms of the Coffee Axis. City, then water, then a valley of trees sixty metres tall. One airport, three worlds, and every leg is a road you would want to drive even if nobody was getting married at the end of it.

You will receive
Five rites, one keeping
A proposal, written for you
Two tiers in Canada and three for destination days, then a plan built inside whichever one fits. The prices are published, so you know the ground before we start. What changes between couples is the day, never the arithmetic.
Ceremony and ritual design
The heart of it. Vows, readings, the order of the thing, shaped around what the two of you actually hold sacred, whether that is scripture, the mountain, or only each other.
The unseen places
Ground I have stood on myself: glacier lakes, ridgelines, coastline at the end of a road that stops being a road. Timed around light, weather and how many other people will be there.
Planning, carried
Timeline, permits, travel between chapters, the marriage licence, and vendors I have worked with before. Celebrants, florals, where you sleep. You choose. I hold every string.
Photography and film, equally
One storyteller for both, so the stills and the film share an eye and a grade. Frames that belong on a screen, and a short film with your vows in your own voices.
How it unfolds
The journey
The first conversation
A slow talk about the two of you. How you met, what you believe, what you cannot stop picturing. No forms first.
The shaping
Your proposal arrives. We choose the land, design the ceremony, set the plan. I go and scout it. You breathe.
The days before
You arrive. We walk the ground, settle the nerves, and move things for weather and light. On a circuit, this is where it begins.
The vows
The day itself. I hold the plan and witness the rite. Present where I am needed, invisible where I am not.
The return
A first handful of frames within days. Then the full gallery and your film. The day, given back to you to keep.

What it costs
The numbers are published
Plenty of people in this trade hide the figure until you are emotionally committed. I would rather you knew now, so nobody wastes a month.
Canada has two tiers, priced per city. Blueprint and Signature, from C$4,500 in Jasper and Revelstoke up to C$9,100 for a Signature day in Banff. Signature is two full days of photography and film, each one run from roughly six in the morning until midnight.
Destination days have three. Essential, Curated Signature and Curated Adventuremoon. Colombia's Mountains and Andes circuits start at $7,800, the Caribbean at $8,200, the Pacific at $8,900, and the Baja Sur circuit at $10,000. Four days across more than one circuit starts at $19,000.
What is never in the number is airfare or a hotel. Booking travel requires an agency licence I do not hold. I name the exact hotel and the arrival day. You book it.
Before you ask
Questions, answered
Where do you actually work, and when?
The year splits in two, and weather decides where the line falls. June to October I am in Canada: Banff, Jasper, Whistler, Revelstoke, Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Tofino. That is when the passes are open, the alpine is clear of snow, the lakes have thawed to the colour people come for, and the light runs long enough to hold a day from six in the morning to midnight. November to April I am in Colombia, Mexico and Costa Rica, which is their dry season and Canada's mud and whiteout. Trying to run either country in its off season means paying full price for closed roads and flat grey skies. The one break in that pattern is August, when wildfire smoke can flatten a Rockies week into grey soup. When it does I go back to Colombia, run a few elopements there, and come straight back for the tail of the Canadian season. Anywhere else is quoted from $14,000 USD. I live between Vancouver and Medellín, which is the same split.
What is a circuit, in one paragraph?
A route rather than a location. Three or four days moving through places that each do a different job, with the ceremony set into the journey rather than bolted to the front of it. One trip, one story, filmed the whole way. Colombia has four (the Mountains, the Andes and the páramo, the Caribbean, and the Pacific), and Mexico has Baja Sur.
Do you book our flights and hotels?
No, and I will not pretend otherwise. Booking travel needs an agency licence I do not hold. What I do instead is name the exact hotel, the exact room type and the arrival day, and you book it in ten minutes. Nothing about the plan is left vague.
Are you the celebrant?
I design the ceremony: its shape, its words, its ritual. For the legal half I bring in celebrants and officiants who fit what you believe, in whichever country you marry, and I handle the licence paperwork with you.
We are not religious. Is sacred still for us?
Sacred here means treated with weight. A promise made on purpose, in a place that means something, witnessed properly. No doctrine required. The ceremony is built out of what the two of you already believe.
Photographs, film, or both?
Both, equally, from one person. If you only want one, the proposal is built that way instead and priced accordingly.
How long is the day, really?
Signature is two full days of photography and film, and it works the same way in Canada as it does abroad. Two days is what lets a story have a beginning, a turn and an end instead of one rushed afternoon. Each of those days runs long, roughly six in the morning to midnight, so bring spare batteries for your own bodies. Blueprint is half a day in one place. Adventuremoon is three days.
How far ahead should we write?
As soon as you are sure of each other. I take a small number of couples a year, so six to twelve months is comfortable. If your plan is a whirlwind, write anyway and I will tell you honestly whether it can be done well.
Two vows. One witness.
the rest is carried
Tell me what you are imagining. A summit, a coastline, a slow road through the Andes. We begin with a conversation, not a contract.
