The truth is, eloping is an amazing way to get married in its own right. It's a loophole, a life hack. A way to have exactly the wedding day you've always imagined—without any of the fuss you don't care for. This is what makes elopements sooo special. It's also what makes them my favourite type of wedding to document! If you're like me — if you're low-key and low-fuss — then elopement weddings are pretty much the best thing ever invented. Eloping isn't a sacrifice, it's your golden ticket to having the happy, liberating, drama-free, and decidedly un-stressful day that you've always wanted! It's a first-choice, big-deal decision, and it deserves first-choice, big-deal documentation! Most photographers only offer 2-hour or half-day elopement photography packages. But to me, that doesn't do your day justice. I offer full-day elopement photography packages because, well, it's your freaking wedding day! Why not hike a mountain, head to the beach, or hit up city hall and have all-day photography that makes you feel special and have incredible photos to show for it?!If you're nodding your head right now like, “hell yeah!” then send me a message and we'll get chatting.

Hey, I'm Vanessa! I'm an outdoor Vancouver-based elopement photographer for the empathetic + creative. Adventurous couples hire me to help them remember their weddings with natural photos that capture what's real. I'm super chill, and other than giving you awesome photos, I don't take anything too seriously. I live for golden light, couples in love, and dog kisses, and I'm always up for an adventure! I'm inspired by nature and that wide-awake, super alive feeling you get when you go out into the mountains. If you're planning an outdoor wedding or elopement, then I'm your girl!
The StoryWe've been professional, full-time photographers and videographers for over a decade. We had formal training in fashion and filmmaking. Our work has been featured in magazines and has had the fortune to receive multiple awards. This makes us artists and storytellers at our core. We search for the story within you and bring it to our images with experience, creativity, and sophistication. We'll Be Your GuideWe will coach you through everything. Don't worry about looking stiff or not knowing what to do. We will be there by your side, especially with people that "don't know where to look" and "don't know where to put their hands." If directions are what you need, we have you covered. Our ApproachWe understand that you're unique. Some people want to look like a model, some people just want to be candid... We do both, and we do it in a way that is more than just creating, and capturing your memories. It's about you enjoying those moments; they're true to you, in the moment, and created with an intention. Kind Words"I've had the privilege to work together with Lucho on several occasions. He's masterful at what he does, combining artistic vision with technical skills.It's one thing to take high-quality pictures with a camera and do some touching up; it's another when someone is able to express the essence of the moment itself. Lucho was excellent at understanding what I wanted in my photos and worked with me until I got results that exceeded my expectations!"- Alex "My husband and I are so happy that we decided to go with Farawayland Weddings. Jana and Lucho are an amazing duo! Our final product was amazing and made all our family members cry! Definitely recommend to any couple!"- Lily

A wedding day is a celebration more than anything, so let's capture the celebration and give yourself a beautiful memory to look back on. I want you to be able to put yourself back into the moment where you said 'I do' or 'heck yes' and relive the emotions. If you're looking for the most comprehensive, don't-miss-a-moment coverage of your wedding day, the Rocky Mountain Juniper Wedding Package is the one for you. This package is perfect for couples who want to look back and cherish every single moment of their special day. I want you to remember the ear-to-ear smile as you saw your spouse for the first time, or the moment you burst into laughter at your best friend's stand-up improv. I want you to have the photo proof that yes, your breakdancing moves really did tear up the dance floor, and I want you to have the beautiful formal photos with your family that you deserve. More than anything, I want you to walk away from this meaningful day knowing that you were able to do and experience everything you possibly wanted. Bonus: When you book the Rocky Mountain Juniper package, you and your partner will also get a free engagement photography session in the lead-up to the wedding (digitals included).
