crafting an Experience

Ditch the cookie-cutter wedding. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of your favorite people, your wedding day should feel like you.

Your elopement should be an experience, not a photoshoot. It’s your story, your people, your moments — captured with artistry and heart.
We’ll handle the details, ease the nerves, and make sure every candid laugh and tear is saved forever.

Let’s Plan Something Epic (and Effortless), and a perfectly wild romantic adventure?

YOUR ELOPEMENT = LESS STRESS MORE ADVENTURE


Adventure doesn’t have to mean hiking 10 miles. It’s about creating a day that lights you up — whether it’s exploring coastal towns, sipping wine at hidden vineyards, or exchanging vows beneath ancient redwoods.

We specialize in intimate elopements with incredible backdrops, modern touches, and an experience designed around you.

HELLO AND WELCOME

⎮

WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE

We’re a husband-and-wife photo + video team traveling across California and beyond for intimate weddings and elopements — backed by our handpicked team of talented photographers.

We move together effortlessly, bringing calm energy, natural guidance, and a little fun to every moment. Your experience with MCP will feel easy, seamless, and genuinely you.

Our style? A mix of candid photojournalism, editorial portraits, and those in-between, unscripted moments that matter most. We’ll capture every laugh, happy tear, and quiet glance so your gallery tells the full, beautiful story.

Why We’re Different

Beyond the Summit, Into Your Story

We’re not here for stiff poses or over-staged, one-size-fits-all adventure shots. We’re about the real stuff — the way you laugh together, the quiet moments, and the energy of your people.

Even if you’re camera-shy, we’ve got you. Our laid-back, happy, and calming presence helps you feel at ease. We’ll gently guide you through portraits, giving natural direction so you always know what to do — no awkward guessing, no forced poses.

While others might chase mountain-tops (which is rad too), we believe true adventure lies in connection. It’s not about how remote you can get — it’s about creating a day that feels like you.

True adventure lies in authentic connection and unforgettable experiences tailored to your interests.
Less extreme mountaineering, more breathtaking coastal vows, charming vineyard celebrations, or heartfelt exchanges in serene natural settings.

We’re here to design an experience that’s effortlessly beautiful, emotionally rich, and endlessly memorable — without the pressure to be anything but yourselves.
