A Wedding Experience refined and rooted
in What Matters Most
Planning an elopement shouldn't feel like planning a big wedding.
We keep the process simple. You tell us what matters, and we shape the experience around it, creating photographs that feel like art while staying honest to who you are and how the day truly felt.
Not everyone wants the ballroom.
Some people want the summit.
We're for those people.
We've helped couples elope on snow-covered peaks, inside slot canyons, on cliff edges, and in the middle of nowhere.
We know how to make it happen.
MEET LETI & STEFAN
YOUR ELOPEMENT
PHOTOGRAPHERS
We’re a husband-and-wife photography team based in Park City, Utah but always traveling.
The outdoors has always been a big part of our lives. It connected us from the
very beginning and became part of the foundation of our relationship.
We both photograph every elopement, bringing two different perspectives to the same story.
Stefan has a degree in commercial photography and a master’s in media production. There’s a good chance he’ll pull out one of his old film cameras during your elopement, simply because he loves the slower, more intentional process of creating an image on film.
Leti is the planner and steady presence behind the experience, helping with locations, timelines, permits, and all the little details that make the day feel easy. She’ll also be right there photographing the every moment.
We’ll give you space to be yourselves, but we’re never going to leave you wondering what to do. We step in when you need direction and step back when the moment should simply belong to you.
If you're the kind of couple who cares more about the experience than the event, you're probably in the right place.
Describe your image
How do we make every elopement experience completely unique and true to each couple?

1. Husband & Wife Team
Leti and Stefan shoot together on every elopement. That means two photographers with two perspectives wide landscapes and quiet in-between moments, all in one day.
It also means you're spending your elopement with a couple who genuinely loves being out there, which makes the whole thing feel a lot less like a photo session and a lot more like an adventure with friends.
2. The Guidance You Actually Need
You don’t have to figure everything out alone. We’ll guide you through the parts that matter most for creating a relaxed day and beautiful photographs.
We’ll share personalized location recommendations, guidance on permits, trusted vendor suggestions, and a photography timeline designed around the best light. You’ll make the final decisions and bring the pieces together, while we help make sure the day flows naturally.
3. Experts in Creating Unforgettable Experiences
We actually know these places.
We live in Utah. We've hiked, skied, and camped across the Tetons, the Rockies, the Dolomites, and everywhere in between.
We are avalanche-certified. We know which spots are worth the effort, which ones get crowded, and which ones most photographers have never been to. If you have a dream location, we can get you there. If you don't, we'll find it.
" Within minutes of our first meeting, we knew that they were the right choice for our special day!" ❤️
"We loved the idea of having 2 photographers and the fact that they are husband and wife was the icing on the cake!!!!"
- Laurie and Scott -
" Their dynamic is amazing, they give it all to take the best pictures possible and complement each other perfectly to capture the moment"
J and P
" They quickly felt like good friends."
— Katie & Dallin
That's the most common thing couples tell us. And it's the thing we're most proud of.
THE EXPERIENCE
What’s Included in Every Elopement Package?

Every elopement is photographed by both of us, from the wide landscapes to the quiet, in-between moments.
Two photographers means two perspectives, more of your story preserved, and a gallery that feels complete.
02
PERSONALIZED LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS
We'll send you a handpicked list of spots based on your vision, the season, and how far you want to hike. If you already have a location in mind, we'll make it work.
03
PLANNING SUPPORT
Permits, vendors, timeline, marriage license guidance. We help you handle the logistics so you're not figuring it out alone.
You'll always know what comes next.
04

08
OUR COMPLETE ELOPEMENT PLANNING GUIDE
90+ page planning guide. Sent after you book. Covers everything from what to pack to how to write your vows.
OFFICIANT SERVICES
“Just Us” Elopements Officiating Included
If it's just the two of you, we can legally marry you.
This works in places that require one witness or no witnesses at all. Not sure if your location qualifies? We'll check for you.
When we plan your day, photograph every moment, and make it official, it feels incredibly personal. One of us can lead your ceremony while the other photographs it, so nothing feels staged or passed around between vendors. It stays intimate. Calm. Connected.
We will guide you through the whole process, including:
• Choosing a beautiful, secluded ceremony spot
• Walking you through how to apply for your marriage license
• Shaping the flow of your ceremony
• Signing and filing your paperwork
• What to expect after, including name change resources
Want Someone Else to Officiate?
You absolutely can.
If you have a friend or family member you would love to involve, we will support them with templates, ceremony outlines, and tips so they feel confident and prepared. You are also welcome to hire a professional officiant from our trusted vendor list.
We mix digital and film to keep the nostalgic look and feel
Not all film is the same.
We shoot 120 medium format and large format film.
The film itself is physically larger.
And when the film is larger, it captures more light, more detail, and more subtle color.
While our digital images are clean, true-to-color, and technically sound...
we love mixing in a few film scans for that extra bit of nostalgia the texture, the grain, the tiny imperfections that make it feel like a memory.
WE PROMISE YOUR PHOTOS WILL NEVER BE EDITED WITH TRENDY FILTERS OR PRESETS.
Just take a look around and you will notice how often colors are pushed, muted, or distorted in wedding photos.
We promise you photos that still feel right years from now.

Let Us Handle the Details, You Enjoy the Adventure
"Leti & Stefan captured my ideal wedding weekend perfectly. As a husband-and-wife duo, they made the entire experience fun and seamless, and we couldn’t be happier with the photos!"
" Leti & Stefan were extremely pleasant and friendly to work with and we all had a blast doing the photos. By having a husband and wife duo team I felt I had more than enough photographs taken during the ceremony and after, during the photo shoots. We received our photos and were extremely happy with how well they turned out!! They captured my ideal wedding weekend perfectly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional photographers and will for sure use them for future life event photo shoots."
Corey & Jason
"Stefan and Leti are so kind and immensely talented"
"From scouting stunning, natural locations to working seamlessly as a team, they make the entire experience effortless and fun. Their creativity, professionalism, and ability to capture meaningful moments set them apart "
"Backcountry Portraits work hard and do all the little things necessary (like doing advanced scouting for locations at the venue) that you know that they'll get all the good shots and that they've put the work in.We felt extremely comfortable in their hands and their experience and knowledge let us both know that we WOULD be getting awesome pictures.We both highly, highly recommend Stefan and Leti and Backcountry Portraits. They work hard, they are super personable, super knowledgeable, and they'll get you the shots you want (which are many) and the shots you didn't know you needed. This is what they do and they love it and it shows. One of the best decisions we made concerning our special day and we'd hire them again in a heartbeat (which we will for future photos).
Take our word for it. You won't be disappointed."
