what is an Adventure Wedding?
A freaking cool-ass wedding day
It’s a fun day focused on you + your person, celebrating with the ones you love, and a beautiful location.
This is Going to be Epic
Leave that wedding “rulebook” behind
You don’t *have* to do anything here. Traditions are only fun if they matter to you. I promise the best way to guarantee an epic wedding day is by filling it with the things that matter the most to you & your person.
So What Could Our Wedding Day Look Like?
Great Question!
The answer of “anything” is kind of overwhelming, but it’s incredibly exhilarating too! The first thing we’ll chat about is your favorite things, your priorities, and what you have envisioned so far. With that information I’ll be able to help you pick locations + activities to shape your day, and accommodate your guest list!
Want some ideas?
- Summer camp wedding weekend
- One day of adventuring just the two of you, one day renting a dope venue for a ceremony + party
- Getting married in a national park
- Rent a mountain hut in Italy for everyone
- Have a skiing wedding where you ski into your ceremony
- Rent a whole campground to celebrate with everyone
- Pick a venue where you can bring your dogs and go canoeing for fun while your guests enjoy cocktail hour
- Adventure to a destination with your favorite people
You want an Epic Wedding Day so you chose adventure
Hey There! I’m Sam
Your Adventure Photographer & Planner extraordinaire
I’m here to help through the whole process, not just to show up on your day and click a few buttons. We’re in this together.
How Do We Plan This?
Let’s Get Started
you’ll fill out a questionnaire that collects everything I need to know in order to help make your day perfect, and capture every detail.
Timeline
now we put everything together. This often coincides with step 3! We’ll nail down what is happening when & who needs to be where.
Book Your Date With Me
first things first, let’s get you official. We’ll chat, sign a contract, and you’ll pay a retainer. Then you’re officially a Maye.Be Take A Photo couple!
Vendors & Activities
I know some dope people. Florists, hair & makeup artists, restaurants or private chefs, lodging, adventurous tours, etc. You’ll tell me what you need and I’ll give you recommendations for the best of the best!

Ok Now Let’s Chat Photos
Looking for the perfect balance of candid, documentary, & posed/prompted so you get those pinterest-perfect photos you’ve been saving forever? You’ve come to the right place! I’m never going to interrupt a moment for a photo op. But if you are staring at me I’ll toss some fun prompts your way. None of that boring move your hand one inch to the right and stand still for an extended period of time.
Your wedding day won’t feel like a photoshoot, but you’ll get freaking awesome pictures to remember every moment of the day.
Bold & Colorful Perfection
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, but if I had to pick two words to describe my editing I’d definitely pick bold and colorful! You won’t find any muted tones here. I make sure the natural colors of your day sing in your photos, just as much as you do!
I use professional editing software to edit each image, and make sure each photo is perfect. I’ll clean up the background from distractions, and fix any other little details that are distracting to the eye while making sure to keep the moment real. The perfect balance of telling the story of your day as it happened and making sure nothing in the photo makes you want to say “it would be better if”.
