Elopements for Couples Bringing Their Dream Destination to Life
Destination Elopement Photographer + Filmmaker for Couples Who Want to Experience the Day, Not Perform It
I photograph and film destination elopements for couples who want a grounded, place-centered wedding day with room to actually be in it. Based in New England, I work in Acadia, Grand Teton, the Dolomites, Patagonia and beyond, with planning support, digital photography, 35mm film, Super 8 and video.
We’ll build the day around the landscape, the people you love and how you want it to feel.
I don’t follow wedding trends
I follow landscapes
every landscape asks for something different
The wind
The weather
The quiet of a mountain morning
Elopements are thoughtfully designed so couples can truly experience the place they traveled so far to explore
Always with the land as the greatest artist of all.
“Hiring Corey was like booking a photographer, planner, tour guide, bodyguard, and friend all in one.”
— Jen & Travis
For couples who want more than a wedding day — they want an experience
Most couples who find me don’t have a plan for their destination elopement. Instead, they’re guided by a feeling:
“We want something simple—but meaningful.”
“We don’t want a big production.”
“We just want to be together in a beautiful place.”
“We want our wedding to be by us, for us.”
As your destination elopement photographer, my role is to help you turn that feeling into an unforgettable adventure — one with your energy in mind, gorgeous locations, calm support, and thoughtful planning so you can be present.
“It felt like the perfect adventure from sunrise to sunset—one of the most relaxing, meaningful days of our lives.”
My role is to help you see past the pressure and expectations so you can uncover what you really want from your wedding day.
If the big-traditional-wedding thing
never quite fit, you’re in the right place
“With weddings typically comes stress and chaos — not while working with Corey and George; we left blown away in awe, married, and knowing two new friends.”
— Alexis & James
I’m Corey
Your destination elopement photographer, planner, and calm presence
Hey, I’m Corey, the photographer behind Corey Lynn Tucker Photography. I create destination elopement photography for couples who want their wedding day to feel calm, natural, cinematic, and deeply connected to the place they choose. Based in New England and photographing elopements in Acadia, Grand Teton, the Dolomites, Patagonia, and beyond, I bring planning guidance, digital photography, 35mm film, Super 8, and hybrid video storytelling to the experience. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012, focusing on elopements since 2020, with 90 five-star reviews, national features, podcast interviews, and CPR + Wilderness First Aid training.
thoughtful Planner
Timelines, light, permits, backup plans, and all the little logistics that help the day feel calm
Location scout
Whether you want a quiet cove, a wildflower meadow, or a dramatic, windswept cliff, I’ll help you find the right place
Calm in the chaos
Let me read the room, watch the weather, and protect your peace
Hype woman / gentle anchor
Especially for camera-shy, introverted, or highly sensitive humans who want to feel comfortable and cared for.
Photographs that become memories
I photograph every destination elopement with an intentional blend of:
Digital
For those crisp, expansive landscape shots
35mm Film
Perfectly imperfect, emotional, film forces you to slow down and pay attention
Super 8 (optional)
Home-movie magic that feels like your own little art film
This is what makes my work as a destination elopement photographer feel layered: digital images for the full story, 35mm film for the nostalgia, and Super 8 film for the feeling and home-movie magic.
Where we roam
As a destination elopement photographer, I help couples build calm, natural, cinematic wedding experiences in places that feel deeply connected to who they are. With thoughtful planning and your energy in mind, we’ll choose locations that let the day feel full without feeling rushed.
Acadia National
Park, Maine
Dawnland brings the drama: Granite cliffs, tidepools, and quiet forest trails
Grand Teton National Park
& Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Impeccable Old West vibes: mountains, wild sage, horses, and alpine lakes
Patagonia, Chile
Wind-swept wilderness, glaciers, horses, and raw, elemental beauty.
Dolomites, Italy
Storybook scenery: jagged peaks, otherworldly ridgelines, and alpine glow.
Catskills &
Upstate New York
Nostalgic mountain magic: Waterfalls, moody forests, and cozy cabins.
New England Woodlands
& Block Island
Laid-back coastal charm: Salt air, windswept bluffs, and fern forests.
Utah &
the Southwest
Red rock cathedrals, desert skies, canyon light, and expansive stillness.
Thinking about somewhere else? Open up Google Maps, drop a pin on the wild place that’s been calling you, and let’s see what’s possible.
Eloping in nature is right for you if you:
Feel camera-shy but want honest, emotional photos
Want to give yourself the gift of having someone else handle the details
Crave presence over
performance
Care deeply about nature and public lands
Want expert guidance, while feeling like your input matters
Don’t want to feel rushed, posed, or “on display” during your wedding
Have always thought of the outdoors as your “church”
If your body relaxed just reading this, you’re in the right place
Your wedding day is meant to be a joyful experience in and of itself
It’s not a checklist of poses to complete, or something that you just have to grit your teeth and get through.
When I plan your elopement, it takes the shape of:
I take care of the details and paperwork—permit assistance, timing, logistics, backup plans. All you have to do is show up and revel in the moment.
This is why I approach my work as a destination elopement photographer differently: the photos matter deeply, but the experience comes first.
