The Adams Co.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Girdwood, AK

We are Austin and Grace, a husband and wife photography team based in Alaska. We were married young a decade ago and have made our home in the mountains where we live with our two kids and bear chasing pups. We love to travel, hike, and find adventure in new places. In our free time you can find us in the mountains behind our home, camping with our kids, and hauling in salmon. For as much as we love the outdoors, we also enjoy time spent on our couch — because we all need balance, right?

Awarded Best of Zola
A wise person once told me that you should judge a wedding photographer not by the quality of their work, instead by the content of their character: would you happily spend a really dang long day with them all while relying on their professional wisdom, personal humor & general kinship? For us this was a resounding yes! Grace and Austin were simply two more friends we added to the list and oh, yes they just so happened to document our wedding with taste second to none. Call em' up, have a chat. It won't take long till you know. And trust me, you'll know.

Zoya Dawn Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Girdwood, AK

Traveling Wedding Photographer documenting stories with film and digital photography. You’ll discover that my work depicts an artistic reality because of my reliance on a photojournalistic approach. I seek to give you the depth, time and space to breathe each other in. To tell your story through the lens of a day uninterrupted, creating art that represents your life, and the real connections you have. The intention is to mindfully render imagery that makes you feel seen and heard, photographing the full story — and all of the relationships — that built you as a couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
This is one area I did not want to sacrifice on exactly what I wanted and I’m so glad I didn’t! Zoya is truly a storyteller through photos and captured the essence of my husband and I flawlessly. I have only seen 11 sneak peeks so far but if it is anything representative of what’s to come, we are in for a treat! Highly recommend. She’s also amazing to work with, very responsive, has so many options and add ons and can customize. She has a fun personality but was also a fly on the wall, didn’t even know she was around me taking pictures at my reception! We met in person twice, zoom meeting twice, and she came to my rehearsal to familiarize herself with the Orthodox ceremony. She’s a rockstar

We couldn’t of been blessed with a better photographer for our special day! Paige is amazing! Finding a photographer was one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning because we wanted someone who we could trust to capture the beauty of the sacrament. Just when we had given up hope that that perfect person existed, Paige reached out to us (a total God send), and we were sold! She was confident and comforting from the very beginning and only continued to help both my husband and I feel that way through the whole booking/planning prepress and wedding day! If you are looking for that perfect wedding photographer who is responsible, creative and the sweetest person ever, look no further. Paige is your girl!

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique.

Howdy, 🤠👋 we're Samuel & Karly, your adventure elopement wedding photographer videographer and planner team! We travel around the country (and world) in our DIY camper van documenting love stories in epic places like National Parks and other wonders of the world.

The plan started out as a trip to a US national park, but as we kept changing plans and evolving what we wanted, Sam and Karly were always so there for it and incredibly supportive. We eventually landed on a three day excursion around Switzerland. Having only had short planning conversations over the course of a year, I was a little nervous to see how we all vibed in person, but there was no need. Quickly, it felt like traveling around with friends. From seeing great spots for spontaneous photos to pizza and bouncing on a trampoline in a wedding dress and road tripping across the country, Sam and Karly really made this the experience of a lifetime. I couldn't imagine this elopement with anyone but them!

Rose is the most incredible photographer I have ever worked with! She has such an eye for capturing the beautiful little details that mean so much on your wedding day. We got married in a standard ceremony with reception afterwards, which she shot just perfectly. She also did our engagement photo shoot which we loved! There were so many times looking through our wedding gallery where I was pleasantly surprised she had captured a specific moment during our wedding and reception, as I hadn't even noticed she was there taking a picture! She has such an eye for the little interactions between family members. She is also so skilled at incorporating movement into your photos so they aren't just standard posed pictures (which she can also do beautifully) but instead photos of my husband and I running through a field/walking around/him twirling me, etc. Truly cannot get over how beautiful our wedding photos are - all thanks to Rose! She is also a breath of fresh air to have nearby throughout the day - there was a lot of stress and activity going on and she was such a calming presence. 10/10 recommend Rose as your wedding or elopement photographer! Well worth the money to have these photos you will look at and remember the day for the rest of your life.

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, corporate and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Let me tell you my story. I had a day that wasn’t really about the connection I had with my husband. It wasn’t about who we were as people and about the things we loved. It wasn’t “us”.

Then add in a kickass connection between you & your partner that’s enabled by dedicating that day TO YOU.

We knew right away we wanted to work with her. We could tell how passionate and invested she is about her work and clients (who quickly turn into friends). Not only does she bring this amazing passion and excitement to your photos but she also lives it everyday and encourages you to do the same. We reached out to Sam because of her incredible work but fell in love with her personality. Not knowing what to expect we put our hands and faith in her and had the adventure of a lifetime. We were so comfortable and carefree there was nothing to worry about. Our focus was on each other, we were able to enjoy a day designed around everything we love as a couple all with Sam's help and guidance. Her endless resources, open communication, and recommendations led us to our most memorable day and the gallery/album reveals allow us to relive it as often as we like. She is truly a magnificent person and her talent goes beyond the photography (although you should see her snapping from the back of a horse or in a kayak mid-ocean). The Elope Your Life experience is more than just photos and if you're looking for an epic experience this is it.
