ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER + VIDEOGRAPHER SERVING COUPLES IN CALIFORNIA + BEYOND
about
I'm an elopement photographer based along the golden coast of California. I am a California native and I have spent my life exploring this stunning state. Over the past decade as an elopement and wedding photographer, inspired by the wildly beautiful aesthetic of film imagery I have documented over 500 destination weddings and elopements. I chase after the awe-inspiring bursts of wonder encompassed in adventure elopements.
Nature inspires me. My mission is to create an elopement experience that captures the essence of your unique love story through authentic and emotive imagery. I want every couple to have a safe space to celebrate their love in their own wild way. I am here to help couples plan and document a day that is true to who they are and what they value beyond the traditional norms.
My style is a mix of natural and candid moments, resulting in stunning, timeless photos that tell your story. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me hiking, camping, or on my yoga mat.
so nice to meet you! I'm heather, adventure seeker sunset chaser + visual storyteller.

Authentic images require an experience, and for adventure elopements, that experience should be easygoing, comfortable and intimate — with every detail planned to make your jaw drop. So around here, we’ve carved out a reputation for unforgettable wedding experiences, helping daring lovers form their own meaningful traditions, starting with an adventure elopement crafted just for them.
You’ll find that my team and I use a timeless, yet creative style of photography and videography to document adventure elopements, telling love stories that are as real as the ocean is deep. This means we use film and digital photography to document events with colors that are true to life, with a raw look as stunning as the many landscapes we’ve traveled through. By also relying on the consistent and reliable digital medium, we can document and guide you through your day with intention — creating one-of-a-kind images you’ll be obsessed with.
And naturally, we take responsibility as stewards of the land — taking the necessary steps to leave no trace as we carry out your elopement, rooting your wedding in both adventure and conservation. So what do you say, do we get to find out who you are as a couple and craft an adventure that’s 100% for YOU!?

“Heather is a beautiful soul, as well as a very professional and visionary photographer. Warm and open, she took the time to listen to our vision & purpose and then set out to create just what we wanted.”

“Stop searching... THIS IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WANT!! Heather Anderson and her entire team made our elopement the best experience EVER! Taking pictures with her was so easy, fun, and comfortable. Heather and her team truly focused on making our day special and intimate. And because of their expertise, my husband and I have the most AMAZING photos and videos to relive that beautiful day. The process from beginning to end was professional yet personal. I cannot express enough that Heather and her entire team exceeded all expectations. We got married in San Diego, but she was off to Alaska shortly after our elopement and I know she has gone near and far for her clients. You can TRUST that Heather will go the distance (metaphorically and physically) to make sure your day is everything you dreamed of and more. 100 out of 10 recommend ;)”

“Look no further! Heather made our special day unique to us and stress free. Her professionalism and knowledge made our day seamless and peaceful. I was so grateful for our conversations leading up to our special day. She infused details that were important to us. I am blown away with the images she captured. I am so honored to have had her as our photographer. Our courthouse nuptials and ocean bluff session afterwards were everything I hoped and much more!! I recommend Heather for all your special occasions of your life!
