I feel so incredibly lucky that we got to have Luciana as our elopement photographer! We planned our elopement very last minute and she helped me every step of the way. She’s the reason we had a perfect elopement day and beautiful memories we get to cherish forever. Her photography is beyond beautiful, her direction is fantastic, and the photos I received are so gorgeous I can’t stop looking at them. I would recommend her to anyone, both her and her husband worked so hard to help us have an amazing elopement day that was chill, fun, and full of adventure.

Elopement Packages
Overnight Package
If you're looking for the experience for your elopement in Tennessee and want every moment captured, this package is perfect for you.
I know — 12 hours might sound like a lot, but it really isn’t when you split it into two parts. Imagine this: the night before your elopement, we head to the lake for a canoe or kayak date. You two get a moment to slow down, soak in this new beginning together, explore another beautiful spot, and just relax before the big day.
Then the next day, we meet at your cabin for getting-ready photos, head to your ceremony location, you say your vows, and we keep the adventure going while capturing all the amazing moments along the way.
This is the ultimate elopement package for couples who want a once-in-a-lifetime Experience.
Canoe/kayaks are included :)
12 hours of coverage
Photo Only $7600
Photo & Video $8600
Wanderlust Package
8 hours of Coverage
$600 Album Credit
*Most Popular
This one’s for you if you’re dreaming of a full-day elopement experience — laid-back, fun, and full of exploring, without rushing a thing. Eight hours gives you the perfect amount of time to ease into your day and soak up every moment.
We’ll kick things off with getting-ready photos at your cabin, capturing all those sweet, quiet moments (and maybe a first look if you want one). Then we’ll head to your ceremony spot and take in the views while you say your vows.
Afterward, we can keep the adventure going — explore another location (waterfall + cliff? always a win), have a picnic, or head back to your cabin for cake and a cozy wind-down.
It’s the perfect balance of adventure, intention, and actually getting to enjoy your day together.
Photo Only $5600
Photo & Video $7000
Cedar Package
6 hours of Coverage
$300 Album Credit
This is the perfect option in between a full-day elopement and a short coverage.
This package is ideal if you don’t want to skip those precious moments like getting ready, while still giving your day enough time to unfold naturally.
It’s also a great choice if you’re looking for shorter coverage but plan to visit locations that are a bit farther away, or want a little extra flexibility built into your day.
Photo Only $4800
Photo & Video $6200
Evergreen Package
4 hours of Coverage
Short, sweet, and meaningful—this one is perfect for couples who want to keep things simple but still full of heart.
We’ll meet at your ceremony location, capture your vow exchange, and take time to explore the area afterward for dreamy portraits. Maybe even throw in a little picnic or champagne pop to celebrate. It's laid-back, intentional, and still full of unforgettable moments.
Photo Only $4200
Photo Video $5600
*Travel included for locations within 2 hours of Maryville, TN
Coming from out of state we were very nervous about this experience but this was best decision we could have made from the first video call thru the hole experience was just amazing!! The recommendations made were of the absolute best. They were just excited to help us with a location we picked they did scouting and we all absolutely loved the choice. Our day started in a not perfect way by any means but they did everything in there power to make it the best when the park was shut down Ethan quickly pulled out his hiking app and found a new way even tho this was 4 miles thru the rain one way they were quick to say let's do it and it couldn't have been more perfect and this was due to the effort they put forth to make it happen!! I would recommend wanderlust for anybody considering a beautiful elopement she takes so many pictures and absolutely loves doing it it's because of them our day was perfect and we will never forget what they did for us I truly love this couple and what they do the sneak peak pictures were amazing and never thought they could get better but when we received the rest just wow we will never be able to pick our favorite they are all just perfect!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you help to find a location?
Absolutely! We’re here to guide you with location suggestions for elopements with up to 10 people. If your celebration involves more than 10 guests, We have a few recommended locations to share, but We don't assist in finding spots for small weddings(up to 30 people). It's crucial that locations for small wedding parties are reservable to ensure ample space for your guests. Keep in mind that many "free" outdoor spots typically accommodate only 10-15 people, including us and any vendors. This is why We’ve set the elopement guest limit at 10, unless you secure a reserved area for larger gatherings.
What's the recommended timeframe for securing our spot for this?
We generally suggest securing your booking at least six months in advance.This timeframe provides more flexibility in choosing locations, especially considering that many spots require permits, etc. But We have also planned last minute elopements.
Do I need a deposit?
Yes, we require a $1500 non-refundable retainer and a signed contract to save your date
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, We have payment plans available based on what you need!
Do we need hired an officiant?
In Tennessee, you'll need a legally ordained person to sign your marriage license. We can take care of that for you if you'd like, or you can bring along an officiant, pastor, or rabbi.
Note: We only handle the signing, not the ceremony itself!
Do I need to have a location picked to book you?
If you're eloping with fewer than 15 people (including both of you), you don't necessarily need to have a location picked out. We’re here to assist you in finding the perfect elopement spot! However, if you're planning on having 20 or more people, it's crucial to find a place that you can reserve or rent for the ceremony. While We can offer suggestions, the responsibility lies with you to choose and secure the location. Keep in mind that certain public or national lands may have restrictions on events with larger guest counts, and some areas may have limitations on accommodating a large number of people simultaneously. We've found that keeping the total under 15 people tends to work just perfect.
Do I have to hike on my elopement day?
The choice is completely yours! You don't have to embark on exhausting hikes for a beautiful setting—there are plenty of fantastic locations that require minimal walking or there is some drivable options. Our priority is your comfort and satisfaction with the chosen location. However, it's worth mentioning that if you're seeking a more intimate and secluded spot, you might need to walk a little bit further or drive a couple extra hours. But trust us it will totally worth it!
Can I include my family and friends?
Absolutely! You can totally bring your family and friends on your elopement day, and we’d love to help you plan the day in a way that makes the most sense for you.
Note: If you are having more than 20 guests it will be consider as an intimate wedding, We do photograph intimate weddings as well! The only difference is that we don’t assist with location planning, so you’d need to have a venue that can accommodate all your guests. Our coverage for intimate weddings starts at 8 hours.
Do you photograph LQTBQ+ Couples?
Absolutely! We capture the love stories of anyone and everyone who's in love!
How many pictures will we receive?
We don’t have a specific amount, but We'll pick out the absolute best shots that capture the vibe of your day. You'll likely get around 50-80 pics per hour—just the good stuff!
Do you travel?
Absolutely! We’re up for the adventure—whether it's international or domestic, count us in! Feel free to reach out for more details. And just so you know, travel within Tennessee is already covered in the packages mentioned above.
Do you help me find lodging for my elopement?
While We don't assist in finding lodging for your elopement, We can certainly guide you to areas that would be perfect for your elopement!
Do we need a permit for certain locations? Do we pay for them?
Yes, for many elopement locations in Tennessee, you may need a permit. Permit requirements vary depending on the specific location and the number of people involved.The client is responsible for any special use permit fee.
How much planning do you do?
We provide valuable recommendations for vendors, ceremony ideas, and guide you toward creating your perfect elopement day. We assist in finding the ideal location if you're planning to bring fewer than 15 guests and We’re available for any questions you may have. For elopements with larger guest counts, it's advisable to reserve a location or consider renting an Airbnb that accommodates the capacity.
While we’re not coordinators, We do contribute to the flow of your day based on the timeline we build together. Our planning services cover the essentials, but if you require more assistance, we can connect you with excellent planners for finer details. This is particularly recommended for larger guest gatherings.
What If it Starts Raining Or The Weather Gets Bad ?
Tennessee's weather can be quite unpredictable, and, unfortunately, we don't have control over that. That's why we walk our couples through a thorough planning process. It's essential to have not just a Plan A but also a Plan B, and maybe even a Plan C, to adapt to any weather surprises that might come our way.
