What is an
Adventure Elopement?
Well, in short, it's a way for you to have the best of both worlds.
If you're someone who is torn between missing the epic views of the Elopement vs having all of your important loved ones present, then we are the ones for you.
This is why all of our packages start at 8 hours of coverage--and it's completely customizable from there.
This way, whether it's just the two of you or a full wedding day, the entire story is photographed.

"Working with The Holte’s is like hanging out with your two new best friends. You’re comfortable, excited, just a little nervous (but for no reason at all, it’s just new), and you feel like you’ve known them forever. Shelby and Collin are the dream team to work with for so many reasons…here’s a few: they both have bubbly, positive, and fun personalities that immediately give you the green light to let loose and be yourself. No judgment. Ever. The energy they put off is unmatched, even if they’ve been working nonstop [which is often, because they’re amazing and words getting out ;)]. They always show up ready to get things done while always making it a great time! (Not me literally crying, LOL). I think the best part about working with Shelby and Collin is that you can feel how important their work is to them and how much they genuinely care about you and your experience with them. Connecting with Shelby on Facebook when I was searching for our engagement and wedding photographer was truly a blessing. Our engagement photos turned out so fun and creative all thanks to Shelby and Collin being so warm, and for pushing us to let loose and enjoy ourselves during our shoot. I’m not sure how it’s taken me a year to scream at the rooftops in writing for these two, but here I am on my 1 year wedding anniversary, spilling out my heart because they’re two of the greatest people I’ve ever met! Now… our wedding turned out as incredible as it did because we had the help of Shelby and Collin for brainstorming and having us dig deep about what was most important to us that we wanted captured. The photos…. Wow, I honestly look at them even more often then I ever thought I would. The portraits, details, getting ready shots, ceremony, the reception, SO MUCH DANCING ;), everything they captured is magic. I could go on forever about how grateful my husband Erick and I are to have met them and had the opportunity to work with them on such massive parts of our story in this thing we call life. So, since I’ve now written a novel, I’ll end with this…. Not if, but WHEN you get the opportunity to meet Shelby and Collin and work with them on any important milestone of your life, you will not only have the most beautiful documented memories but you will also have two beautiful souls to get giddy about it with for life. Cheers to The Holte’s, you guys are the best and we love you!!"

A Love Letter:
>> We really take the double date thing to heart. With every session, you get both of us–this also means you get a variety of mixed media: digital and film photographs, as well as a la carte super 8 film videos.
No detail will go un-captured. Of course, there's a mix of candids and the portraits that grandma likes.
>> Aside from balancing wedding day logistics and documenting your day (Collin will gladly carry your veil when it simply becomes too much), our main goal is to create a worry-free environment that allows you to LIVE in your moment without it feeling like a production.
>> Our Approach: Formal posing is gross and we won’t tell you to smile all day. But this doesn’t mean we’ll hang you out to dry, either. First, we’ll start off as friends. Then we guide you into moments that are full of movement, exploration, and emotion–we want to capture the beauty of you and your day, but mainly, we want to capture how it FEELS. We accomplish this by getting to know you; you are not just a number to us. We value our connection with you above all else.
The Downlow:
Client Experience
we’d love to say it’s going to be the BEST experience of your life–but that’s just not true.
Your LIVES that you create together after leaving us will trump everything. But we’ll sure as heck deliver the best day that we know how.
At this point it’s safe to say you’ve stalked our socials and you like our work, which means you’re close to officially asking us to join you on that double date. We’re SO in, but we want you to know a few things first:
