We Endeavor Together

Who We Are

Endeavor Together

Welcome! We have been adventuring together in love and in the wild natural world for 10 years now. Adventure is how we fell in love and built our solid partnership. Over the years, we have built a Sierra Lifestyle that leaves the noise, consumerism, and troubles of town behind. Our reverence for nature combined with our primary love language of quality time outdoors and epic photography in these wild places came together in a way that we can help others experience what we feel is our best day out together.

hEY there!

We hunt natural light, even if we have to start hiking at 3am to be at the right place and the right time, in the right season. We love to go backpacking in Yosemite, get after it locally on ski tours in the Sierra Nevada mountains, laze about in our big backyard of the Emigrant Wilderness, beat the heat “on the rio” down in the Tuolumne River Canyon, and once a year we raft the Grand Canyon together.

Wanna plan the trip of a lifetime with us? Take a look at our adventure journal for some inspiration!

We love to help couples
blaze Their own trails &
build Their own traditions.

Our sigil is a bindrune of two hearts and mountains - a symbol of our love journey and a blessing of integration bestowed upon all of our couples.

What is that thang?

Your Future Adventure Buddies

Forrest is a creative landscape photographer at heart with decades of guide experience. He is always hunting for the perfect place, light, and moment, and usually for the rare sights after a terrible storm break. As an avid outdoorsman and professional adventurer, he takes the path less traveled, endures the storms most avoid, and brings back rare moments frozen in time. He elevates the beauty of a scene while staying true to the negative, unless the shot calls for some creative moves. His skillset in landscape photography elevates the quality and brings adventure fantasies to life. He loves to pack smart, print big, and dream deep.

COORDINATOR & Photographer

Kira is a total romantic in the wild. She loves people watching and has a knack for capturing those precious fleeting intimate moments between lovers. As a fastidious virgo, she loves to obsess over the details of a wedding dress, the botanicals of a scene, and the perfect moments at dawn and dusk. She cares most about the quality of any experience outdoors being enjoyed by people while respecting the environment. As the first editor to review client collections, she often is struck with a perma-grin while reviewing other people's happy memories. "Seeing others present in the epic moments together in the wild makes me incredibly happy and fulfilled."

How we are Different

Our many decades living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and honing of our photographic skillsets make us the ideal adventure photographers. We travel well & chase the very best light.
We like to plan our work so that it is easy to work our plan. We are detail oriented balanced with big picture goals when it comes to planning an adventure. With all logistics taken care of before a trip begins, we are able to build in chill time, flexibility, and plan Bs, Cs, & Ds that are just as epic as our plan As. We love weather and are always well prepared for it.
Our secret stash of frontcountry gems (like the “Other Yosemite” and “Secret Sierra”) get couples away from the beaten adventure elopement tour circuit in order to discover their own unique spot. For the more adventurous couples, we are able to go farther into the wild with our adventure guide buddies who offer white water rafting, snow cat, and equine support to locations that the roads and the masses can not access.

Our Featured Adventure

Our most epic adventure so far. Some say that 30 days in The Big Ditch can break a relationship. We set out together right after Valentine’s Day to prove them wrong. After nearly 10 years of adventuring together we felt like we were ready to push the boundaries of our relationship with a month long expedition.

Pull up a chair and pretend we are around a campfire sippin' hot cocoa/toddies while we share stories. Our adventure journal is jam packed with stories from both client journeys and our own personal endeavors.

Journal

As photographers, artistic integrity is a value we hold dear. Most photographers only edit for screen viewing. We edit for screen and separately for print--two distinct processes for two distinct goals--so you to have all the available color spectrum in your printed goods.
We have culled & edited our finest images for our online portfolio, our most pinnacle client moments.
