team
We’re an eclectic crew of rebels and creatives with an affinity for bringing unconventional and intimate elopements to life. We specialize in helping you have a truly together experience on your wedding day—without the rush, fuss, or outdated traditions.
Just like you, we’ve never quite fit the mold. Our unorthodox ideas and jagged edges have gotten us into trouble a time or two—but they’ve also sparked endless adventures and some wildly exciting times. And if there’s anything we’ve learned from living outside the box, it’s that staying true to you—your values, beliefs, ideas, and loves—is the foundation for a life well lived.
That’s what we hope to create for you. A space where you can be unapologetically you on the day you say “I do.”

A true Arizonan, Abby has called the Southwest home for 26 years and is still finding new areas to explore. With a passion for adventure and a desire to drain every last drip of joy out of life, Abby loves nothing more than helping couples create the exact experiences they envision for their elopement or engagement and documenting the whole, wild, unforgettable thing. If she’s not taking photos, she’s booking a spur-of-the-moment plane ticket, practicing for the day she hopefully wins Survivor, or sharing her extensive knowledge of the Vampire Diaries Universe with anyone who will listen.

Sam has been capturing stories since borrowing his parent’s over-the-shoulder VHS camera in the 90s. He understands how to leverage the medium of a motion picture to elevate an experience you never want to forget. Through high-quality film, crisp audio, and the ambition for telling a compelling story, he brings each of these elements together to make something truly remarkable. With a handcrafted wedding film by Sam, you have the opportunity to re-experience your elopement with just as much intimacy and emotion as the day it happened—and you can do that time and time again for the rest of your forever.

From the moment our "You're booked!" email hits your inbox, we dive straight into the planning process. We help you two to define the vision you have for your elopement location, and then actually find the real-life spot. We connect you with other local vendors, provide packing tips + lists, and even create your day-of timeline from start to finish.
We help you plan your dream wedding day
Planning Assistance
what we do for you...
This is the culmination of what we do - where the vision for your day comes to fruition. We believe in photographing your day (or days) from start to finish. From the second you turn on the coffee pot to the moment you change out of your wedding attire, we're there to take photos that tell the story of YOUR day and the adventures you had along the way.
Photos that represent you two + your day
photography
what we do for you...
We specialize in breathtaking elopement videos for couples who envision exchanging vows in extraordinary locations. Our passion lies in documenting your story in epic landscapes, creating a visual auditory film of you two on the day you wed. You'll be able to later return to the film for years to come and relive the moments you spent in the wild committing your life to each other.
Breathtaking videos, unique to you
videography
what we do for you...
We're ordained - ready to sign your marriage license as your officiant. You two get to create your own ceremony and have true privacy as you share you vows with one another. We even have someone available to actually create your ceremony too, if that's more of your vibe. Worried about the required witness signatures? We'll take care of that too (nearby hikers make for great signees + give you a rad story to tell).
Want to have an intimate ceremony? we got you.
Officiating
what we do for you...
Eloping is choosing to prioritize YOU and YOUR story rather than the expectations around you - and we hold that at the highest standard. You're shouting "NO" to the mediocrity of society's expectations and choosing to say "HELL YES" to who you are.
Eloping is the rebellion of tradition

"Allison and her team were an absolute dream to work with. From the moment I contacted her, Allison was nothing but prompt, responsive, helpful, and just kind. She answered my unending stream of questions, and made planning our Arizona wedding from Virginia a very easy and enjoyable process! She was not only extremely flexible in the creation of our perfect day, but also offered suggestions and her expertise, which was always greatly appreciated. Besides being insanely talented and accomplished, the coolest thing about Allison is her genuine personality. She offered a fun yet organized presence on the day of our wedding, and made us feel at ease and as though we were just pals spending a perfect day together! I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude for the moments that were created and captured, but am eternally grateful for the images that we have to remember them by. We ended our day feeling completely fulfilled and enchanted by the pure magic and Allison and her team helped us create!"
- Lexi and Michael
"Our elopement experience with Allison was amazing! She was knowledgeable, responsive and personable from booking to receiving our photos. Allison had a ton of great resources for us to reference while planning our elopement which was super helpful. Something we really appreciated was the detailed information she provided on trails to help us decide on a location for our ceremony. We were able to choose a spot that was just right for us. Our location at Mt. Rainier was breathtaking, secluded and accommodating for our small group of guests. On our wedding day, Allison kept us on schedule, made us feel comfortable and was upbeat the entire time. We were absolutely amazed when we got our photos back! They were everything we were hoping for and more. Our day was beyond perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a photographer that is talented and enthusiastic, you can’t go wrong with Allison."

"Allison and her videographer Sam are absolutely incredible!!! They did such an incredible job capturing our day! They made us feel so comfortable right away and were such a wonderful addition to our day! They have such cool personalities and right from the beginning we knew they were the right choice for us! They were both attentive to our ideas and really took our input into their process. It was an absolute JOY to have them with us on our special day. We would recommend them 1000 times over to anyone looking for an insanely talented photographer and videographer! They are down for an epic adventure or an intimate peaceful day. Whatever you need, they are down to come for the ride. We had a sunrise ceremony and they showed up at 3 am READY to go and had such positive wonderful energy. Our day would not have been the same without them! We cannot say enough good things about the both of them!! Do yourself a favor and book them both. You will not regret it!! We love love love them!"

"Allison made planning our Maui elopement so much less stressful! Hawaii has stringent laws regarding photography and I felt 100% confident in her obtaining and following the laws so we could get our dream wedding location shoots. She also explained in detail to us what we needed to do and sent us a very informative book going over typical elopement packing/planning. At times she was more like a wedding planner giving us lots of information on photo spots around the island. She definitely went above and beyond to help us with anything we asked her help with. She has a lot of experience doing these kinds of fun wedding elopements. On the day of our wedding, she came prepared and on time. She would ask us genuine thought-provoking questions about the two of us and really emphasize that this was our day to do what we wanted. She took the time to tell the full story of our day not just the beautiful scenic pictures but the behind-the-scenes too. "

"Allison and the Uncharted Elopement team were absolutely incredible. Not only did Allison help us identify the perfect ceremony location that could accommodate our family in Zion National Park, but she also helped us pick a beautiful sunset location to say our private vows, have our first dance and just take in our wedding day! Her planning support prior to the wedding day and general spirit and outgoing nature on our wedding day was exactly what we wanted to enjoy our elopement! A few days following our wedding, Allison sent over the most EPIC sneak peek pictures from our day!! We were completely blown away by the images she captured and honestly I did not know we could look as good as we did!! All our friends and family told us the pictures look straight out of a magazine and they aren't wrong! We absolutely made the best decision in hiring Allison and her team for our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking to do something outside of tradition for their wedding"
