BREAK FREE OF THE STRESS HOLDING YOU BACK FROM ENJOYING THE PROCESS.
We'll take the stress out of Eloping for you.
In exchange, we hand you back your freedom. Your freedom to make this day how YOU want it. No "one size fits most" package like traditional weddings or your basic "all-inclusive" elopement packages. Traditional weddings can take away your freedom to create the day that you wanted in the first place. If a traditional wedding isn't for you then why would you settle for another "copy and paste" all-inclusive elopement package?
Keep your sense of adventure alive, your way...

We're the ones you're trusting to build you your one of a kind wedding day
We're Forrest & Cindy
- your Husband and Wife adventure team
Many couples have trusted us not only to Photograph and Document their wedding day but have also trusted us to tell their unique love story. They gave us the honor to not only create and tag along on their biggest adventure yet but to also allow us to photograph and save their day for them to be able to look back on and relive each and every moment and emotion of that day for the rest of their lives.
But don't just take our word on it...
"He is a joy to be around and his pictures are absolutely breathtaking. I HIGHLY recommend this photographer!"
Jamie R.
"Forrest was so much more than a photographer for us, he helped plan and coordinate every aspect of our elopement. The day of our elopement he immediately made my husband and myself feel like we were just hanging out with an old friend. This meant the world to me and you can see how comfortable we are in all of the photos.
And the photos, y’all, I AM OBSESSED!!!!"

Kristin B.
"Forrest made us feel totally comfortable and we had SUCH a fun time shooting. He was extremely versatile and didn't mind braving the snowy Colorado weather we were faced with. I couldn't be more excited about our pics! Do yourself a favor and BOOK WITH FORREST AND CINDY!!!"

AN ALL DAY ELOPEMENT,
WHAT WOULD WE DO?
Take a moment and
think about it this way-
If you were to have a traditional wedding you would have at least 8 hours of coverage. You want your whole day covered so you can look back on it. That doesn't change when you Elope. In fact, it gets that much better.
Going big for your wedding day doesn't just mean having a big venue with tons of flowers and chandeliers. It means making a day that isn't like any other. It means creating an adventure that is above and beyond to celebrate you two committing your lives to one another and we'll be there the entire time to document and save these moments for you forever.
That's why we recommend planning at least a full day for your Elopement with full coverage. Full-day coverage of your adventure will allow us to...
Document your entire adventure from start to finish
Allow friends and family the opportunity to be a part of your wedding adventure even if they weren't physically there with you two.
Preserve every little moment of your adventure and not just your vow reading. We can save every little hand squeeze, stolen glance, and whispered: "I love You."
Create a wedding day that's wildly different from anything you've seen and completely unique to you two.

WHY CHOOSE US?
We'll let our couples tell you
"I could not have asked for a better photographer and friend through my elopement journey."
They say a picture is worth a thousand words but I truly believe, and can attest to it, that Forrest’s photos are worth so much more than that! I could write pages of praises about my experience with Forrest Blake Photography but I’ll try to be brief.
Forrest was so much more than a photographer for us, he helped plan and coordinate every aspect of our elopement.... and then did it again when we had to reschedule and plan in an entirely new state/environment/season due to wildfires..... and then again when I discovered a fear of heights the night before our elopement day. All without judgement, stress, complaints, or negativity! The day of our elopement he immediately made my husband and myself feel like we were just hanging out with an old friend. This meant the world to me and you can see how comfortable we are in all of the photos... none of the stiff, awkward, weirdness you’d expect when standing in front of a strangers camera all day.
And the photos, y’all, I AM OBSESSED!!!! I knew they’d be amazing but I did not know just how amazing they’d truly be. I want to share them with everyone, and do, and get endless compliments on them! And sure, it’s easy to make a bride or groom look good, but it isn’t easy to share the story of their day and feel the emotions and excitement in a still frame yet Forrest Blake Photography did that for me. I get to look back at my wedding photos and feel every emotion I did that day over and over.
So, to all of my brides or grooms out there, if you’re reading this and considering Forrest Blake Photography I would strongly encourage you reach out immediately and without hesitation. I could not have asked for a better photographer and friend through my elopement journey.

"a joy to be around and his pictures are absolutely breathtaking."
Let's be honest, your wedding day is a rollercoaster of emotions and sometimes stressful. This photographer will make sure you are relaxed and enjoying every second of the day. He is always up for an adventure and nothing you want to do is too crazy for him. For example, my husband and I made him wake up at 1 AM so we could start our hike up the Tennessee mountains at 2 AM. He is a joy to be around and his pictures are absolutely breathtaking. I HIGHLY recommend this photographer!
Jamie R.
"Phenomenal!"
Forrest is the best photographer EVER!!! Not only will he capture your special day but he helps everything run smoothly! He was so relaxed and makes you feel super comfortable. I love the way he gives fun prompts to trigger genuine reactions- definitely not cookie cutter!! Your photos will be so unique and personal! Forrest was amazing to work with during COVID and with my husband being in the Navy. He is amazing with work with under any circumstance!! He is so understanding and flexible! He truly cares about his clients which made the experience even better!! If you want a personable, talented, and very professional photographer that will capture your special day FORREST IS YOUR GUY!!! He was worth every penny!!

LET'S ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS...
-
How do we know how much Photo coverage we will need?That's something we can help you figure out on our first Elopement consulation call. Think of it this way, if traditional weddings have at least 8 hours of coverage why should you get any less? This isn't a day of compromise, it's a day focused soley on you two and what makes you feel celebrated. So why not document the entire adventure for you to look back on and be able to share with your loved ones. Let's set up a call and talk about it!
-
Can I bring family & friends?Of course! As long as they are there to celbrate you two and keep all the focus on you then YES bring them along and have them surround you two with love and support. Don't forget to bring you pup!
-
What happens with bad weather or natural disaster?Some rain or fog will add for some epic adventures and an even more epic wedding day story. However, we always have a back up plan with a new location on hand for us to switch to. Elopements are perfect for making a last minute choice and fly where the wind takes us. We have our plan B or we can embrace the adventure ahead of us.
-
How do we hike in our wedding attire?You don't have to hike out 5 miles to have an adventurous elopement. In fact, we don't have to hike out at all. If that isn't something you want to do it's not a requirment for you adventure. Some couples love to hike and we encourage it, however you don't need to hike in your wedding attire at all. Most of the time we hike out in comfortable clothes and then change at the location. We'll head back in wedding attire to capture some more awesome photos along the way of your dress flowing in the wind. You can even change back into your hiking clothes and wait to change again when you get back to the car or basecamp.
