If you don't think being an elopement photographer is political, think again. Between working on public lands, photographing queer couples, and running businesses as women, we are exercising freedoms that people literally fought for, and freedoms that could easily be taken away from us. 

 

We dive into specifics about how politics and elopement photography are intertwined, why we feel so grateful for the freedoms we have today, and different ways we can honor those freedoms not only in our businesses but in our lives. 

 

This isn't about one side versus the other; it's about staying aware of what's happening with the things that deeply matter to us and our couples. Tune in now to hear why our job as elopement photographers is more political and powerful than you might realize.
