What Our Elopement Photography and Videography Couples Are Saying
“Gosh, where to even begin?! I wish I could scream from the rooftops how incredible Lisa and Alex are! The first big decision we made when getting engaged was that we wanted to elope, and we wanted photographers that we would feel comfortable spending our entire wedding day with. Selecting an elopement photographer is much more intimate than one for a traditional wedding as it was just them and us on our wedding day. I spent about a month researching elopement photographers, but we always kept coming back to Vow of the Wild. Once I had my virtual meet and greet, I knew we had found the perfect photographers for us.
We had such faith in Lisa and Alex, we decided to wait a year to elope just so we could have them as our photographers (they were fully booked for Fall 2021 when we had reached out). I could tell right away that they were masters of their craft, not only in their photography skills but the whole process.
They felt like old friends that we had known for years, just as excited as we were to plan our wedding day. They created an absolutely incredible portal/website to help us not only choose our elopement location but also gave us recommendations for vendors, accommodations, hikes, and activities in the area, and a timeline to keep us on track as we planned. Having the comfort of the portal, timeline, questionnaires, and chat function made it so I didn’t have to stress at all about our wedding day, but rather could enjoy the whole process! We live in NC and eloped in CO, so we had to put all of our trust in Lisa and Alex and their suggestions, and we are SO glad we did!
My husband and I do not like being the center of attention or taking photos, but Lisa and Alex made us feel so comfortable we would even forget the camera was there. It felt like we were spending an incredible day in the mountains with old friends, celebrating our love. The whole day just felt so natural and beautiful, even when they had asked us to pose from time to time it didn’t feel forced or cheesy. I have had countless people tell me that our photographers captured our raw emotions, and they felt like they were there with us when looking at our photos. Our wedding day felt like it was out of a fairy tale, and we owe all of that to Lisa and Alex.
Booking with Lisa and Alex was the best decision we could have made for our elopement day! They go above and beyond for their clients and truly help you cultivate your perfect day.
If you are on the fence about planning an elopement or booking with Vow of the Wild, TAKE THE LEAP! I promise it will be the best decision you make, they are worth it!! I get goosebumps every time I look at our photos or get to share them with someone new. Our photos and experience with Lisa and Alex will be treasured forever, by us and our families. I come from a big Italian family that did not understand why we didn’t want a traditional wedding - until they saw our photos, and that is thanks to Vow of the Wild!
Lisa, Alex, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
“Oh, Lisa and Alex...these two will forever hold a very, very special place in our hearts. Our wedding day was the most magical day of our lives, and we owe a lot of that to them. When we began wedding planning, we were on the fence about also getting videography. We stumbled upon their work and the moment we watched it and were brought to tears while watching strangers’ weddings, it was a done deal. Their work is absolutely beautiful, and our wedding was no exception. We’ve had a ridiculous number of compliments come in about our photos/videos. Close friends have described our videos/photos as “so us,” which truly speaks to their ability to capture and portray you as YOU. They SO accurately captured the nerves, emotions, and pace of our big day, and we are transported back to those special moments every single time we see our videos/photos. For that, we are forever grateful.
The dedication of these two to their couples throughout the entire planning process is astounding (they must not sleep or something!). They work SO incredibly hard to create an experience that is true to each couple’s vision and come to you with no judgment as to what you want or don’t want to include in your day. On top of all this, they are truly wonderful human beings! We consider ourselves so lucky to have developed a friendship with them through this experience. Their artistry and talent are somehow matched by their humility and graciousness. They are true to themselves and their work - a genuineness that is so endearing and can be hard to find.
We have already had a post-wedding adventure session with them, and you can bet there will be more to come in the future! We cannot imagine having had our wedding day without them. THANK YOU, Lisa and Alex, from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️❤️”
“I honestly don’t know where to begin this review because Vow of the Wild is just that dang good. Lisa and Alex are hands down the most talented, patient, open minded photographers/videographers that we have ever had the pleasure of working with.
From the Zoom introduction to the last picture atop the mountain on our wedding day, we have known that they were the best fit for us. They have such a natural way of making you feel like you’ve known them forever, like good friends you haven’t seen for awhile but still feel comfortable with. In an even weirder way, they have a calming presence to them that just sort of reminds you of home. Everything that they asked us to do for photos and videos felt unforced and easy. And it never felt like a production or show. It just felt like a day in the mountains, celebrating our love, with two of our good friends from “home”.
They were so responsive, flexible, helpful, and caring. They never turned down any ideas we had. And they set deadlines for receiving our photos/videos but they got them to us way earlier. The quality of the photos/videos was exceptional, and every single person who has seen them has either 1 - cried 2- said they were the best they have ever seen or 3 - a combination of 1 and 2.
If you are planning an elopement or are simply just kind of considering it to be a possibility, GO FOR IT. You will NOT regret working with Lisa and Alex. I’ll be honest...now that we have all of our photos and film I feel like a chapter is closing that we just don’t want to end. THAT is how great they are and the perfect way to describe them - a book you don’t want to end that just feels like home.”
“Wow, where do we even begin! It started several years ago when we came across Lisa and Alex’s wedding video. We were captivated by the way they overlapped footage of epic scenery with audio from their vows. We instantly knew that that was the type of wedding we wanted to have one day. Intimate, adventurous, and memorable with close friends and family. We followed them on social media for years and were the first people we contacted after getting engaged. (Literally, our elopement meeting with them was scheduled only 5 days after getting engaged).
While their photos and videos are out of this world, Lisa and Alex also shine in planning an elopement. The online portal they use to help with the planning process was immensely helpful. Their recommendations led us to finding our locations, officiant, and hair and makeup professionals. They provided suggested deadlines to finish tasks, that made everything extremely easy. We were never stressed at any point of planning our wedding, which is saying something considering we were all traveling out of state and had never been to the location! Without their help, it would have been overwhelming making everything feel monumental, personal, and adventurous all at the same time. We honestly cannot imagine a better day, and it’s all because of their help.
The photos and videos Lisa and Alex provided us will be treasured forever. They really captured the day perfectly and accurately. We were nervous to be in front of the camera at first, but that quickly went away. Lisa and Alex are amazing and kind people, so it quickly felt like we were hanging out with friends rather than being photographed. If you’re reading this, BOOK THEM NOW!! We’re already dreaming of a vow renewal when we can book them again.”
“Lisa + Alex are incredibly talented. They were professional, personable, timely, incredibly communicative (we never felt alone), patient, and more knowledgeable than we could have hoped for.
I’ll start by sharing that we were the couple who had to google “How do you elope?”... We were clueless! We didn’t realize there would be so many decisions in a “simple” elopement, but VOW had the process so streamlined, it was approachable and fun. Figuring out our timeline for was a bit of a process because we had never thought about what/how we wanted to experience on our elopement day. I was so impressed with how patient they were as we worked through various iterations of our timeline. Looking back, the day was perfect, because of their careful planning and expertise.
They scouted our route and locations the day before our elopement, even finding a gorgeous waterfall that’s not even listed in the All Trails app. They didn’t have to do it, because there were other options nearby, but that’s just the kind of people they are! They cared about our elopement day vision and hopes/wishes just as much as we did. It’s clear they take great pride in the service, experience, and quality of everything they do.
Our sneak peek photos were ready just as we were about to fly home, and oh my... we were in awe of them! It was a perfect sampling of photos to help us share the news and show what our big day was all about. We can’t wait to see the rest!”
“First and foremost, Lisa and Alex are amazing! We knew we wanted to have a small wedding in Colorado, but living in a different state we had no clue where to start with planning. We stumbled upon Vow of the Wild’s website and immediately were drawn to their photography and loved the fact that Lisa and Alex would help guide us through the planning process. They went above and beyond to help us plan our wedding day. From helping us find the perfect location for the ceremony to creating a seamless timeline for our big day, they were both always there to help us. We are SO thankful for that.
We also loved that even though we met in person for the first time on our wedding day, Lisa and Alex felt like friends we had known for years. They always made us feel comfortable, which led to a stress-free day of adventuring, jokes, unexpected snow, and a lifetime full of memories.
Lisa and Alex put their heart and soul into what they do, and it’s amazing to work with them! If you’re thinking of hiring Vow of the Wild for your big day, DO IT! You will not be disappointed! Thank you VOTW!!”
“Lisa and Alex were beyond amazing and really work with you to make your experience everything you always dreamed of. They were so patient with us starting with location ideas, creating a timeline for the day, meeting at the locations and following them off-road, finding obscure places to change and go to the bathroom, and above all keeping us warm despite the freezing cold temperatures in the mountains.
Lisa and Alex went above and beyond to photograph our intimate ceremony and had tissues ready for all the overwhelming emotions of that day. They truly felt like close friends celebrating our big moment. They were flexible with locations and weather issues that day as well as making last-minute adjustments to our timeline to get the best views for our star photos.
The photographs came out absolutely stunning. They captured every moment of the day and the photographs tell a beautiful story for us to share with our family and friends. Lastly, the wedding album included in our elopement package was customizable and turned out amazing with our favorite moments displayed. We cannot thank Vow of the Wild enough for such a perfect elopement!”
“Lisa and Alex of Vow of the Wild made our elopement a day we’ll cherish forever.
When we reached out to start the process, it was fun to reminisce about our relationship and share our story with them. Meeting them via Zoom allowed us to get to know them as individuals and learn more about their work. This made our decision to choose Vow of the Wild a breeze!
We didn’t have a specific idea of what we wanted, except for the location and time of year. Lisa and Alex helped us brainstorm ideas for a date within our timeframe and even suggested the best time for star photos! We hadn’t thought of that.
Their elopement guide was packed with helpful tips that gave us ideas for everything from the timeline of our day to activities and vendors to facilitate our elopement. We shared our thoughts with them, and they came up with several different options for a day curated just for us. They were incredibly detailed and considerate, even down to the comfort level of our guests with hiking in the mountains at high altitude. They showed this level of attention to detail throughout the planning process by regularly communicating updates or changes and being available to answer any questions we had promptly!
On the big day, Alex and Lisa made meeting that morning a breeze, even before sunrise and in the dark. With Alex and Lisa, it felt like we spent the day exploring the mountains with old friends. They even shared their snacks when we forgot ours back at the rental! It was so natural and didn’t feel awkward or like we were being photographed. We weren’t rushed or overwhelmed at any point throughout the day. It was the best day ever, and we wouldn’t change a thing!
We’ll be able to look at and show off our stunning elopement pictures for a lifetime! If you’re thinking of eloping, here’s your sign to absolutely do it! When you do, I highly recommend Vow of the Wild for their exceptional planning, professionalism, photography, and videography skills, as well as the wonderful memories you’ll make.”
“Literally 100000/10 recommend! They are the A-team, please book them if you want nothing short of top tier service. It may mean nothing (or everything), this is coming from an extremely picky couple from NYC that work professional jobs and have high, borderline unattainable expectations - and yet they exceeded every one of them.
They are so professional - superb project management, very responsive, organized and so experienced in their craft that they think of everything and can adapt to anything - truly flawless. They had a clear vision of how to build our day and were also wonderful to collaborate with when we had impromptu ideas. It’s also the not-so-little things - even their client portal for planning, their timeline, and process - makes so much sense and is streamlined for efficiency and is also thoughtful. All the way to delivering photos/prints, etc, it was all so nice and easy to use.
All the while - they were incredible humans to special our special day with. They kept us calm, grounded, on time/schedule, and also inspired by the way they mapped our 8+ elopement day through the mountains with such ease and expertise.
It is an obvious understatement to say that Lisa & Alex are so much more than photographers/videographers - they are truly curators of high quality experiences. We are so grateful to have worked with them!”
“We LOVE Lisa and Alex! Going with Vow of the Wild was the best decision we made for our wedding and gave us not only incredible photos but also a truly memorable adventure of a lifetime!
We reached out to Lisa and Alex because we absolutely loved their photography style. From the initial meeting, we could tell that they were a great fit for us and that they understood exactly what we wanted and could execute our vision. Their online portal was excellent and provided a detailed timeline with helpful resources for wedding planning. We were especially appreciative of how quickly they replied to our questions and felt cared for every step of the way! Lisa and Alex were two of the kindest people we’ve ever worked with.
We are blessed that they have an eye for the most breathtaking views and the imagination to transform our vision into a reality. The jeep adventure and hike were glorious and perfectly captured in our photos. We absolutely loved how our photos turned out. Enjoying our pictures together always bring us joy and take us back to beautiful Ouray. We wholeheartedly encourage anyone who is looking for an adventure wedding to contact Lisa and Alex. They are ultra-talented, and truly a gem amongst the many options out there, and we would 100% choose them again!”
“Lisa and Alex were absolutely the perfect choice for our elopement to CO.
TLDR; They’re amazing, choose them, you’ll love your photos, and you won’t regret choosing them for your big day.
On short notice (2 weeks) Lisa & Alex managed to put together a beautiful and easy to follow package for us to choose from on our special day, with multiple choices and options. They even had plans for the weather and thought everything through that we would possibly need. They were also quick to reply to any of our concerns and never left us feeling abandoned. Not to mention they have great energy, they’re fun and easy to talk to.
Near the 2nd to last day before our wedding, we had to decide upon a location for our elopement. They were prepared for the weather and warned us about the conditions that followed in the different locations of our special day. Due to such, we decided to change our location. They did everything in their power to make sure we were comfortable and warm (as it was winter and snowing on the day).
Alex was our officiant and gave a beautiful speech before our vows, and they really took the time to make sure we had our special moments with one another. Needless to say, our photos came out amazing. The scenery was breathtaking and beautifully captured. Their work really shines in showing the raw natural moments, and they have great attention to lighting and helping set a mood.
We’re not the best with posing for the camera, so Lisa & Alex helped instruct us so everything looked natural (and it was!). In many moments the cameras melted away and my husband and I were just focused on one another. It was truly the perfect day, and we couldn’t be more than grateful to Lisa and Alex for making it so.
Not to mention it was also their anniversary! Talk about selfless! For to go out of their way on their special day. Just goes to show what kind and thoughtful people they are.
Thanks again Lisa & Alex for making it a dream come true!”
“HIRE VOW OF THE WILD! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding! They take the BEST photos and they are two of the most down to earth people. All of the photos we received are unlike anything we expected. We knew they would be cool but we didn’t know they would be this cool! They captured all of our emotions perfectly, we seriously love every single photo. Each time we look at them we have a new favorite. Everyone is blown away when they see them! My husband somehow managed to forget his suit. Lisa and Alex immediately started thinking of alternative locations so that we didn’t have to give up on our dream of doing a sunrise first look. They were calm and unaffected by this because they knew the area, they had backups.
They also had a lot of suggestions on how we should stand to avoid awkward photos, which was something we asked for because we’re very good at taking awkward photos! We spent 10ish hours with them but we feel like we’ve known them for years. It felt like we were spending the day with really good friends. They’re both so genuine and it’s obvious they both really love what they do. They want you to have your dream wedding day and will do anything to make sure you get it; you won’t find anyone else like them! They tailor the timeline and locations during the planning process based on what you tell them you want. We had never been to Crested Butte but both fell in love with it during our elopement and the only reason we even know of the small town was because of Lisa and Alex. We had our dream wedding and they were a huge reason why. We would do it all over again if we could, exactly the same!”
“From their unwavering kindness, compassion to their industry-leading knowledge, technology, professionalism and talent in BOTH photography and videography.... Alex and Lisa are literally * it *. I was probably most shocked at how much they cared about us. The care and love they put into their work and their clients is profound. What an incredible couple, business and impact they’re having!
Elopment locations + ideas + inspo ✓
Elopement package options ✓
Full elopement planning (more than what you’d ever expect or think you’d need to know) ✓
Location-based suggestions ✓
We fought through COVID-19, Colorado’s historic wildfires, ceremony relocations/weekend/ events, and so much more, and they helped us through all of it so effortlessly and with so much insight we just didn’t have over Colorado even though we live here too, and that comes from their experience which was invaluable to us! There’s a reason we chose to invest in Vow of the Wild, and we were not disappointed! These brides could not speak more highly!”
“Vow of the Wild gave us the most special gift in the world : phenomenal photos and memories of our special day to last a lifetime. They are AMAZING - I find it difficult to even come up with the right words to thank them enough. Their skill as photographers/videographers are unmatched.
Their professionalism and reliability made working with them a breeze. When you have them on your team, you’re not just getting photographers…. you are getting wedding/itinerary/vision planning with support and encouragement throughout the entire process.
By the end of our ten hour day, we not only had the most beautiful photos I could ever imagine but had also made two friends. Alex and Lisa are a fantastic team and the very best choice to trust your wedding/ elopement photography. 5 stars is not enough, they deserve 5 million! We are forever grateful to them!”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lisa and Alex. If you’re looking for your wedding or elopement photography/videography team, STOP HERE because Vow of the Wild is an amazing team!
From the beginning, they were very professional and friendly. They made everything a breeze for us. They provided an incredible list of location options, which fit our needs and vision seamlessly. With the app they provide, it was assuring to know I could send a quick message whenever I had a question and get a timely response. They were also quick to provide updates to the timeline when our plans or ideas would change.
On the day of, driving to the trailhead, we were so excited and anxious. Lisa and Alex brought such a calm and inviting energy that was comforting. It really felt like we were on the trail with some old friends! It was a day full of wildlife, laughter, beautiful views, love, and (most importantly) FUN! They truly helped us curate and capture the best day ever!
If you didn’t think it could get any better than this, hold on to your butts! They got all our photos and our reel to us WITHIN A MONTH! Lisa and Alex with Vow of the Wild are superstars and you’d be crazy not to book with them!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lisa and Alex!!! <3 We will cherish these memories and photos for the rest of our lives.”
“Our entire experience with Lisa and Alex was amazing. They were always a great resource and helped streamline the whole planning process. From helping to choose an elopement location, deciding on what elopement adventure to have, to recommending places to stay if you are from out of town - they honestly made everything so easy! From making recommendations to listening to us so we felt heard, they did it all so beautifully and we could not have asked for better planners/photographers.
And speaking of photography - WOW. Not only are they super quick, but they took the most gorgeous photos. They were able to capture us and let us be in the moment while still giving us direction and helping us not feel awkward trying to pose when we needed it. They are able to capture real emotions in their pictures that make you remember exactly how you were feeling in that moment. It’s truly magical!!
Not only are they absolutely out of this world amazing at what they do, Lisa and Alex were just plain fun. The kind of people you plop a blanket on the ground to sit and chat with for a bit while the sun goes down and the stars come out. They were kind, nonjudgmental, wonderful people to work with and be around in general.
They helped make our day so special and we can’t thank them enough!!”
“Lisa + Alex were an absolute dream to work with. Our day flowed so effortlessly and they helped us both to calm our jitters and enjoy our time together. When we were browsing options for our Elopement photography + videography, nothing compared to Vow of the Wild’s work. We were so drawn to their photos and videos and how well they captured the beauty of the couples and the scenery. We knew they were exactly what we were looking for.
We received our sneak peak photos so quickly after our Elopement. Our full photo album was ready less than 2 months after our big day. The efficiency was so very much appreciated as we were looking forward to seeing all of our images. The photographs are absolutely jaw-dropping. I cannot even explain how beautiful they are, I cry just thinking about them.
Not only are the images beautiful, but sharing our day with Lisa + Alex only made it that much more special. They are wonderful people and I will recommend them to every couple I know looking for Elopement photography or videography. Do NOT hesitate to book with them. We have not yet received our video, but I already know it is going to be amazing. We cannot say enough great things about Vow of the Wild. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents with us.”
“Book now! Cannot say enough good things or recommend Lisa + Alex more! They are such an amazing team. They thought of everything and then some. Our 1st choice for our location didn’t work out a month before our big day and they were already prepared with a backup plan to a backup plan that all fit into our timeline, budget, and Airbnb location. They are so incredibly organized and have already thought of everything before you have.
During our elopement, they made sure to check in to see if we were happy, comfortable and if we wanted/needed to take a break. It was like hanging out with 2 old friends all day. If you haven’t been swayed yet by this review then just look at what they are capable of with their exquisite eye and talent for photography. They are the most professional, thoughtful, and fun team. Best choice I made besides marrying my best friend.”
“Two of the sweetest, most professional people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Lisa and Alex helped us scout locations for our wedding and worked hand-in-hand with us the whole way to make sure everything went smoothly. They are real troopers that hiked up into the Rocky Mountains with us in windy, 40 degree weather, and captured tons of stellar moments along the way. They even drove us back to our hotel afterwards! Truly two caring souls that will go above and beyond for you on your special day. They are great at capturing authentic moments as they happen and they will deliver to you a collection of phenomenal high-quality photos.”
“My husband already wrote a review, but today is our 1 year anniversary (holy smokes, time flies!) and I’m just bursting at the seams with gratitude. Lisa and Alex were truly our anchor in both the planning process and the ceremony itself. They put all the puzzle pieces of vague ideas together into something that seemed doable and exciting, rather than overwhelming. They are incredibly professional but also warm and caring, so they immediately put you at ease. The jitters go away (mostly!) and you know you’re in good hands. My husband and I are two goofballs who are usually pretty awkward in front of cameras, but Lisa and Alex somehow managed to make all of our pictures look effortless and beautiful. My favorite thing about our photos is that they authentically captured us, our relationship, and all the happiness from that day. You always hear that your wedding day flies by and it’s true. Now, it almost feels like a dream, but our photos put us right back to that day. All those warm fuzzy feelings come right back, because Vow of the Wild caught the real, in-between moments and small details that added up to make our day so special. We had so much fun with them and I think it shows. I can’t thank them enough for the magic they added to our wedding day!”
“Our time with Vow of the Wild was everything we dreamed it would be and more. Lisa and Alex were nothing short of amazing from start to finish. They helped us plan our entire Iceland elopement, and when we had to cancel that plan (due to Covid) they helped us completely re-vamp everything for our new location, the magical Oregon Coast. They were there every step of the way, with kindness, patience, and so much heart. They were flexible, receptive, and always present. It was clear that their only intention was for us to have the wedding we’d always dreamed of. And they 100% delivered.
On the day, they were so mindful of the energy. I was worried we would feel nervous, but we felt completely comfortable. They gave us so much space to just be together and soak it all in. Lisa and Alex are so skilled at the whole “dance” of capturing the moment but giving us all the room to be “in it” too. We had some friends and family there, and they were just as wonderful with them as they were with us. Everyone felt comfortable and had a blast. And of course, when we got the footage back, we were floored!! They captured the magic of the day, and we will cherish our beautiful photos and incredible video, forever.”
“We absolutely loved spending our elopement with Lisa & Alex! From our initial conversations with them, including an introductory zoom call, we knew our elopement was in good hands. Neither of us are planners at all... but that did not matter because Lisa and Alex did the heavy lifting for us. Having never been to CO, I was a little nervous about planning an elopement across states- but it could not have been easier with their elopement planning portal. Lisa and Alex took our visions and brought them to life. We talk about our elopement often, including how at ease and comfortable we felt with both Lisa and Alex. The day could not have gone smoother. The sites were better than we imagined. It was an absolute dream that we will cherish forever. Not to mention the incredible photos, we were and still are in awe of their talents! ”
“It’s taken me longer to write this review than I would’ve liked, but that’s because to this day, I still can’t accurately put into words how special Lisa and Alex are. I was able to forget every single worry and purely enjoy our wedding day because of them. I don’t remember the last time I had such an enjoyable and carefree day. Imagine having that feeling on your wedding day!
Lisa and Alex are the human equivalents to getting home from school as a child and smelling cookies baking in the oven. They’re the feeling of returning from a trip and seeing your pet waiting to greet you. It’s been 3 months since our elopement and my husband and I still frequently bring up Lisa and Alex. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them.
My mother in law was feeling the effects of altitude sickness at our wedding, and recently told us how Lisa made her feel so much better by offering her a blanket to rest on and letting her know she had supplies if she needed anything. They were prepared for the altitude sickness, the rain, the cold and every other possible scenario.
If we could do our entire engagement and elopement over again we wouldn’t change a single thing.”
“Alex & Lisa, you two are gifted with an amazing talent for photography, videography and wedding planning for intimate/elopement weddings. I had no doubt about this when I laid eyes on your website. It became clearer when Fred and I had our consultation with you, walking us through the process, providing your helpful planning portal and list of vendors. You helped guide us patiently in dealing with all our changes while providing us with helpful solutions to our needs. You were so amazing to work with! Fred and I are so thankful we decided to work with you. You far exceeded our expectations throughout the whole process since the day we met you, till the delivery of our photography and video of our special day. I wish I could do it all over again because it seems like a dream now looking back. Everyone who had the opportunity to view our wedding video and photography has complimented how beautiful it was because of your talent and felt like they were there. It sent a few to tears too. These are memories we will cherish for years to come. Thank you both so much from the bottom of our hearts!”
“Lisa and Alex were so wonderful to work with! From the moment we got to sit down and virtually meet them all the way up to the actual day of, they were patient and informative which is EVERYTHING when you’re planning an elopement. With their help we planned a full day from sunrise to sunset and our day was truly everything that we could have wanted. On top of all that, they are also incredibly talented and everyone who has seen our photos (ourselves included) gushes over the stunning quality. We can’t wait to see the magic that they create with our video. We 100% recommend anyone who is thinking about working with Vow of the Wild to do so. You wont be disappointed!”
“From the very beginning, working with Lisa + Alex was an easy choice that continued to prove to be one of our best decisions surrounding our wedding day. Our elopement was not an easy one to plan, yet through location changes and dreaded COVID postponements, Lisa + Alex were there for us through it all. The tools and expertise they brought to our planning process was invaluable and made our entire experience so much better.
We are continually impressed by our wedding day photos and video. If there’s a doubt in your mind whether hiring Vow of The Wild is worth it, you can rest assured: they are the people for the job. They are spectacular at what they do and if we were to do it all over again, we’d go out of our way to work with them every time.”
“I don’t know where to begin. Working with Lisa + Alex was the best decision we could have ever made for our elopement ceremony. When my husband and I decided to elope, we knew that our first step was selecting our photo/video team. We spent countless hours researching and going through online portfolios to find “the one” that was right for us, and we are so glad we chose Vow of the Wild. Our first meeting with Lisa + Alex felt like reuniting with friends after a long time apart. They made us feel so comfortable and supportive of the decision to celebrate our marriage privately, and with adventure in our hearts. They guided us as we planned, and helped us without hesitation when our plan A fell apart. Without having them by our side, our day would not have gone as well as we envisioned. Thank you, thank you, thank you for capturing one of the most beloved days of our lives!”
“Lisa and Alex go so far beyond photographers and videographers. My husband and I didn’t stress about our wedding at all due to the level of experience and calming presence that Lisa and Alex bring. As a Type A person, I can’t oversell how wonderful it was to have incredibly talented and capable people handling everything. It is obvious how much passion Lisa and Alex have for their work and couples, and the amount they care shows through in everything they do. They provided invaluable help planning our wedding and were incredibly detail oriented. They listened to everything we said and implemented our requests seamlessly into the day. Their images were true works of art and I have never seen wedding pictures and videos of this quality before. Their work was one of our inspirations for eloping, and we are so happy we chose them to capture our day. As an unphotogenic person, I was shocked that I loved all their photos. The highlight video they produced made the people that couldn’t be at our wedding feel as though they were a part of our day, brought me to tears, and gave us the ability to relive our day. My husband and I never felt uncomfortable being ourselves in front of Lisa and Alex, and we truly felt as though we were friends by the end of our wedding. You will not regret prioritizing photography and videography quality by hiring Vow of the Wild. Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect, and Lisa and Alex were a main component of that.”
“When my husband and I were in the early brainstorming stages of planning our wedding, we saw Alex + Lisa’s work on whim after a random Google search. We saw their photos and videos and immediately said, “Yup, that’s what we want to do” and instantly sent them an email for availability. The entire process was seamless; they were supportive throughout our entire planning process and immediately responded whenever we had questions or new ideas. Not to mention, the actual wedding day was a blast. Our final photo and video package exceeded our expectations. We were so excited to have our own photos that matched the beauty and grandeur of the galleries we first fell in love with online. If you are wanting to elope, Alex and Lisa are THE way to go.”
“I’m a little upset with myself that it’s taken me so long to write a review for Lisa and Alex, but they deserve it. A year and a half after our magical wedding in Isle of Skye, Scotland, we are still as obsessed with the photos and videos that Vow of The Wild gave to us as we were on the first day that we received them. After the wedding is over and the initial excitement has died down, all you have left from your day are the memories. Finding the right photographer and videographer to capture all of the small details is absolutely crucial. It really says something that whenever we go through our photos and replay our highlight film, all of the emotions of our wedding day come flooding right back. Lisa and Alex truly captured the beauty of our wedding and we cannot thank them enough. We will be cherishing their work for a lifetime to come.”
“Lisa and Alex exceeded every expectation we had or could have had for our wedding. It’s a huge deal to trust someone to capture the most important day of your lives. We placed our trust and confidence in Lisa and Alex, and they did not disappoint. From our very first Skype session, we were comfortable and at ease. Their level of expertise, professionalism, and passion was evident in every interaction and clearly manifested in all of their work. They have the unique ability to capture the most intimate moments without you noticing, and the extreme attention to detail to capture that passing glance or tear falling from a cheek; special moments that you may have otherwise missed. We’re especially grateful to have chosen to use their talents for both our photography and video. There’s just something so special about each perspective— still and dynamic. We think both the photography and videos were crucial to fully encapsulating our day and helping us relive it again and again. Lisa and Alex, we honestly can’t thank you enough. You are two incredibly kind, talented people and we’re so grateful we found you.”
“Oh my, where do I begin? The best decision I made, other than running away to Colorado and marrying Cameron was choosing Vow of the Wild to do our photography and videography. For being 11 hours away they made everything so easy, from helping choose an AirBnB, restaurant recommendations and helping us pick the locations for the pictures. Not only did they make the planning less stressful they made the day-of SO much less stressful. It was very much, go with the flow, low stress, if something happens we will work around it and they did everything in their power to make our day the way we wanted it. 100% would recommend. Thanks Alex and Lisa!
Oh, you will also get endless compliments on your pictures from others. The day pictures were posted I have 4 girls message me asking who I used and were now thinking about an elopement.”
“I highly recommend booking Alex and Lisa. They are truly talented at every aspect of their jobs! Including making you feel comfortable on your wedding day; it felt like hiking with lifelong friends. We forgot the music for our first dance so we were going to skip that, but Alex and Lisa both jumped into action and went through their phones trying to find a song for us with very little internet service. My only regret is I wish I’d booked more time with them, if your budget allows I’d recommend booking them with time to spare.”
“When every single one of our plans fell apart due to the pandemic, it was definitely for a reason. Because of these crazy circumstances we were able to have the wedding that we had always dreamed about, but never knew how to accomplish. Alex and Lisa are the best photographers, videographers, planners we have ever worked with. They made the day so much easier and helped us through every step of the way. We would recommend them to every person that wants to elope or have an adventure wedding. We received our highlight video last night and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say we have watched it 5 times already. Thank you so much to both Alex and Lisa, you both helped us have one of the best days of our lives and we will always be grateful for that.”
“Lisa & Alex did an amazing job with everything related to our engagement session and wedding! We knew the moment we found their website they were a great fit for us and they did not let us down. Their calm and genuine spirits were amazing to have around on our wedding day, keeping us relaxed and in the moment. They go above and beyond with their work and are extremely organized and reliable. We love all our photos, our album & prints, and our video!! They captured such special moments between us, our families, and even our pups, while also capturing the incredible landscape and nature which was very important to us. We can’t wait to someday share these memories with our kids. Thank you Vow of the Wild!”
“Getting married during a pandemic was definitely a challenge. After our original venue cancelled on us, we were able to revise and plan a special weekend with our immediate family. Lisa and Alex were so amazing to work with. They helped us plan, keep organized, and stay on top of deadlines. They were so accommodating to our wants and made us feel comfortable to be our true selves in front of the camera. Our photos are all amazing and we love how they captured the authentic joy of our day. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“I’m so happy with how my wedding day photos turned out. My husband and I wanted to elope in Colorado all along, but capturing the beauty and excitement of the day was one of our main priorities—Vow of the Wild did just that and more! Lisa & Alex were extremely helpful and easy to get in touch with throughout the planning process. They even hiked 7 miles the day of our wedding to capture all the amazing moments. I would easily recommend them as a photographer for your special day!”
“My husband and I just eloped a bit over a week ago to a dream destination with Alex and Lisa. These two are beyond-words-incredible. They go above and beyond both as humans and as photographers/documentarians. Their talent is somehow matched by their helpfulness and genuine warmth and energy. We cannot say enough about these two- stop reading reviews and book them. Go now.”
“Vow of the Wild was by far the best decision we made for our elopement in Colorado. Lisa and Alex were extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole process of planning our out-of-state wedding. They helped us with every aspect of planning which was extremely helpful. Our wedding video and photos are beyond what we ever even imagined they’d be. They captured our day perfectly.”
“Honestly, the easiest part of our whole journey was the videography and photography. Once we got the parents on board, Lisa and Alex turned into a combination wedding party/best friend/videographer/photographer/wedding planner/guardian angel/dance coaches amalgam that made everything smooth and relaxing. Not only did they provide excellent quality photography and videography service (ensuring that in 10+ years we may still love and want to share our day instead of laugh at the ridiculous dresses/awkward poses) but they did little things for us, like help us learn how to dance, or at least masquerade as dance proficient for our first dance the night before our reception. Or, help us find the ONE, seriously, pre-made cake in Margaret River the day before we were to eat wedding cake following our ceremony. They provided us with all the easy transitions, small (yet genuine) talk and aid of comforting friends through the small in between moments too.”
“I guess I’ll start by saying that the moment our eyes landed on Vow of the Wild’s work we very stubbornly REFUSED to look elsewhere. My husband and I were on a very tight budget for our wedding but we confidently agreed to book them and we would’ve made the same choice a thousand times over.
From our very first conversation on Skype (they were so cute and we were so giddy to talk to them) they were easy and fun to talk to and had great communication overall. We only had the chance to meet them in person on the day of the wedding but they have this incredible way of making you feel like you’ve known them forever and are so comforting to be around.
I’m a big crybaby and one of my biggest concerns was being able to control it. They told me not to and to just feel whatever I was feeling because they promised it would be ok and would only make the film that much better. Well, damn it, they were right! Our wedding video had me in tears all over again. It helped me relive my most favorite day with my most favorite people.Your passion for storytelling and capturing raw emotion is bona fide and we’re so lucky to have worked with you both. Keep rocking the way you two do. THANK YOU for everything. Seriously.”
“Hiring Vow of the Wild was one of the first decisions we made for our wedding. And honestly, they were one of the best. The way they told our story brought tears to my eyes. So many tears in fact, I had to watch the video twice so I could actually see what they created. They showed how much love not only my husband and I had for each other on our day but the love our families had. They tell stories in such an honest and loving way that each film they create holds such a unique beauty to it. They captured our day so perfectly from small details to grand ones and fit them seamlessly into a video that I know I’ll cherish forever. Alex and Lisa are not only amazing at what they do but they are genuinely wonderful people. It’s rare to find people so kind, thoughtful and helpful. Alex and Lisa created something so special to us but when you look at their work as a whole, you’ll see that each and every video is unique, beautiful and so very thoughtful. If you want two people who care about you, about documenting your day in a thoughtful way, you cannot go wrong with Alex and Lisa.”
“After reviewing some videographers online, I stumbled upon Alex/Lisa with Vow of the Wild and instantly fell in love with their amazing story-telling and style. Their talent is just undeniable. Their videos had me in tears and I just knew they were the fit for us. When I reached out - they were highly professional and always returned our emails super quickly. When we met with them - we knew it was a done deal. They are the SWEETEST couple - they asked us about our love story and our personalities so they could capture that appropriately in the video. Not only that - they have such a warm presence and you instantly feel comfortable around them - which we knew would be key for day of the wedding (my partner was a little insecure about the idea of “cameras following her all day”) ... The video was priceless and my wife and I were crying on the couch when we watched it. It was just simply perfect and was the best money we spent for our wedding, hands-down. If you are still wondering if you SHOULD do a videographer for your wedding - I PROMISE - you won’t regret it and you should go with Alex/Lisa, hands-down.”
“Wow - mind blowing work. Vow of the Wild were simply amazing. I couldn’t be more pleased with their work and their professionalism. Almost immediately, they seemed like old friends embarking on our early morning adventure. Super positive, they guided us through, set up amazing shots, and captured the beauty of the place and the moment. Bravo!”
“Words cannot express how much I loved working with these two. They are so sweet and have a love for adventure. “Vow of the Wild” is the perfect name for their company and it truly matches our lifestyle as well. They are extremely professional and only added to the fun we had on our wedding day.”
“Alex and Lisa are incredible humans and are extremely talented at what they do. I do think they are in a league of their own. They are so talented and passionate at what they create and are professional on every level. Their love story and their vision is so unique and they are able to find a way to capture moments that can take you back to the moment! Alex and Lisa were such an important part of this monumental day in our life and because of them, we have the strongest memories and cannot wait to keep this with us for the rest of our lives.”
“Today marks two years of marriage for us and we eagerly played the full length documentary movie of our wedding day with ALL the emotions, memories, joys, tears, and love absolutely pouring from the screen and our hearts. This was BY FAR the BEST investment we made in to our wedding ... we have our most special day captured in such a special medium not just us but for our kids as well. Could NOT recommend Lisa and Alex more! What a treasure .... thank you thank you THANK YOU!”
