Adventure elopements! They're not for everyone but more and more you are seeing couples opt to go down that route for their special day. I'm lucky to have Dave Fay with Worn Leather Media on the podcast this week to share his journey towards photographing epic adventure elopements for a living. If you are thinking of eloping instead of having a traditional wedding or you just want to hear two cool dudes (haha) talk about mountains, hiking and being true to yourself, this is a must listen.

Dave also drops so many tips and recommendations for photographers/videographers who are looking to lean more into the elopement market.
