Get comfy, grab some popcorn, and prepare to watch videos of my favorite people getting married!
Elopements are a lot more candid and authentic—it takes a lot less posing and positioning couples to “look” like they’re in love when they aren’t doing something they’ve never done before. When couples decide to say their vows in their favorite place in the world, do the things they love to do, it gets EASY. It means something a lot deeper to them. It brings out their story and lets their day be joyous and adventurous! See for yourself here 👇🏼
Elopements
We were absolutely SHOCKED when Alice and Brad told us they weren’t sure if their elopement had enough “stuff” to create a wedding video for. They hired us anyway for their elopement in Zion and we were blown away by how much fun we had!!! We started the day with a sunrise hike to the Zion Canyon Overlook where they said their vows and fellow hikers cheered them on. We then went back to Under Canvas Zion to take a nap, eat lunch, and relax before going out again at sunset for a beautiful charcuterie style picnic! After seeing the most epic moon rise and the stars started coming out, we all set down our cameras and had some s’mores over a bonfire. We can’t even begin to say how grateful we are for them deciding that a videographer was the way to go! These music edits are so fun for us to get creative with and this was overall the best day ever!!
"The Stars in Zion"
This wedding was special for so many reasons... from flying in from New York all the way to Olympic National Park, WA, this elopement was in their feels all day long. From the groom's emotional reaction at their first look, to finding a random dime in their Airbnb signaling that their late grandparents were watching over them, we could not help share so many emotions with Kaitlin and Derek! Watch this video to see epic views of this national park wedding and to hear their amazing vows to one another!
"A Dime for Good Luck"
Anna & Gio's sunrise elopement at Tamanawas Falls in Mt. Hood, OR was absolutely breathtaking! We were lucky enough to have a couple that trusted our vision and allowed us to try some new things with their video. Essentially, we wanted people to hear and see what it feels like to get up THIS EARLY to start getting ready for not only a wedding day but a hike to a waterfall. Everyone was tired and hungover and yet, the family banter and smiles were evident. This was also our first try at incorporating a nostalgic super 8 film to achieve that "family home video vibe" while also making it professional and bringing in the "Alesia Films" editing style. We hope everyone enjoys this video because we love these guys so much and they've completely made us rethink how we want to run our business and make future videos!
"4:46 AM"
Alaska - a true back country gem of our country. From the hundreds of mountain peaks, clear water lakes, rivers, glaciers, bears, moose and mountain goats - this was truly an unforgettable experience and that’s exactly what Brooke and Cody wanted. An unforgettable Alaskan experience. And coming all the way from Florida, and spending the week after eloping in the PNW, they got the ULTIMATE experience. And that’s what elopements are all about!! Doing what you already love to do. And for some that’s exploring new places or coming to a place they love! And Alaska is that place for so many people. If you’re planning a destination elopement to Alaska, definitely follow Brooke and Cody’s itinerary and book a helicopter tour so you can see these unforgettable views!!
