Elopements for the wild at heart & wildly in love
Hey! I’m your Photographer, Natasha Cowden
Dang I’m so excited for you! You’re on one of the greatest adventures life has to offer, and I cannot wait to help tell your story!
Lets craft an experience you’ll never forget,
something that’s authentically YOU.
Wait, who are you?
Good Question!
I’ve been photographing couples for more than 15 years and what I love most is creating a stress-free environment & experience where you feel totally lost in your love and the adventure of it all.
I’m an avid adventurer myself. Backpacking, camping, hiking, climbing, sizzling bacon over a wood fire, or sleeping under the stars, these are a few of my favorite things! I am constantly exploring new vistas to give you the best backdrops possible. These days, I get to bring my son (born May 2024) along on these adventures, too. Gotta start them young! His first backpacking trip was at 3 months! I’m pretty proud of that :) My husband often accompanies me for photographing ventures either taking care of our son or being my second-shooter/manning the fun cameras. It’s an absolute blast to work together in serving couples like you.
Marriage & life together is just amazing and We’re HERE FOR IT!
“I wish I could give Natasha more than 5 stars, she was that amazing. She was more than a photographer for us-- kindly helping with vendors, suggesting locations for photos and dinner, giving us an itinerary, and being a general source of support. She captured the scenery of our beautiful state and blended that with beautiful, authentic portraits of us without unnatural staging and awkward poses. I got to hang out all day with my best friend and our love was reflected genuinely in each and every photo. Just wow'd by everything and cannot recommend her enough.”
— Kritty
“Honestly I cannot recommend Natasha enough! Her communication leading up to the big day was wonderful and she was so helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. Natasha is amazing! Her style is very adventurous and natural and she captured us perfectly!
-Kristen
“Natasha is an incredible photographer! Not only did she capture us perfectly, but she also handled logistics and communicated with us every step of the way. Thank you Natasha! We love the pictures!”

Your Experience
1 - Ready?
You’re ELOPING!!! CONGRATULATIONS! Now what the heck do you do next? No fear - that’s why I’m here!
Let’s grab coffee or hop on a call! I want to hear about what drew you to each other and the dynamic that you have as a couple. I want to know what makes you YOU and the places and activities that you love. From there, we’ll explore ideas for locations and the type of elopement experience you’d like to create. This is the dreaming stage, feeling things out and if it feels right - lets take it to the next level and set a date!
2. Set…
Ok so we’re vibing and excited for the ideas we have... Now we’ll start making a plan! You’ll select your ideal elopement experience and we will find a location, & date to make this dream into a reality. Throughout this stage, I’m here to help in any way that I can from location scouting, logistical support, permit acquisition, vendor referrals, basically I’m your personal assistant - here to make your time as stress-free and fun as possible!
3. ELOPE!
Let’s get you MARRIED!!! This is your moment to fully and completely be lost in each other, enjoying this unique experience as you embrace this incredible new adventure together in a style that is 100% you. We’ll make memories you’ll never forget, know why? Because you’ll have photos to remember every step of the way!
Are we vibing?
My philosophy of photography is simple-I want to capture the beauty that is, because life is beautiful, and so are you!
Do you dig highly curated? Hyper edited? Magazine cover air-brushed? Nope, me neither. Let’s capture the authentic, the vibrant and the real instead!
While there’s a gazillion photographers out there, I believe strongly in giving every couple a customized, incredible experience so that you can have photos that authentically tell your unique love story.
Plus…
I’ve got a passport, hiking boots, backpack and wanderlust
All my packages include my travel - no hidden/surprise fees
All packages include ALL your photos so that you can enjoy all the in-between moments, the authentic laughter, the silly glances that truly capture your dynamic.
You have full rights to download/print/share your photos as you wish, (I’ve never been a fan of charging for prints and limiting couples in the memories they get to keep)
I’ve been to a plethora of weddings (literally triple digits), sessions and mountain trails & I bring all my expertise to help you plan your engagement session and even provide support in the wedding planning season if you’d like it. I’m an open book, ready to help you and take as much stress off you as possible.
I’ll carry the backpack
I’ll be your tour guide - just lmk where you want to explore, I’ll do the research and provide options for you to design the perfect experience.
You receive your photos quickly, not only will you get sneak peeks within 24 hours of your session so that you can instantly showcase this incredible moment of your life, but you’ll have your gallery in less than 6 weeks (often it’s much earlier).
Elpement Photography Investment
Globetrotter
Craft the elopement experience of your dreams, the story you’ll be proud to show & tell for generations to come.
Sunrise in the Dolomites or your favorite 14er- heck yeah!! Hike to a secret mountain lake in the Alps or Alaska at sunset… I’m HERE for it and I’ll help you plan everything! Or if hiking isn’t your thing, maybe a cruise in a fishing boat off the coast of Greece (chef’s kiss that’d be glorious), dance in a castle, drive through Iceland and stop wherever catches your fancy… dream big here, folks!
With this experience, we can literally go anywhere in the world and do anything you’d like! Think of this as your blank canvas to craft the elopement experience of your dreams! Whatever you can dream up will also be documented with all the in-between moments that tell the story of YOU! (And make all your friends hella jealous. )
