Hello! We're Nico & Maddie

A wedding couple poses playfully in front of a stunning mountain lake backdrop with dramatic rocky peaks.

 

We met in college about 13 years ago and just eloped in the dolomites!

 

We created Finch & Fern Photo Company to help adventurous couples, like you, embrace the beauty of the great outdoors on their wedding day.


When you choose us for your elopement, you’re partnering with a team built on love, trust, and a passion for the outdoors.


We’ve been in your shoes. When we planned our own elopement, we felt the same mix of excitement and overwhelm you might be feeling now. We know what it’s like to dream up a day that feels completely true to you, and we’ve learned how to make it happen without the stress.


We aren't just really good with cameras... You’re getting two people who understand how personal this day is, who will guide you through every step, and who care deeply about capturing your love story in the most real and beautiful way possible.


Individually, we each bring our own creativity, expertise, and attention to detail. But just like you and your partner, we believe we’re stronger as a team.


Two is always better than one!

Full tank of gas, windows down, shades on... We are coming for you!


Home for us is a self-converted Ford Transit van, and we spend our days exploring the Western United States, Canada, and Mexico. This lifestyle is all about adventure, adaptability, and finding ease in the unexpected. Along the way, we find hidden, breathtaking locations perfect for couples wanting an epic elopement backdrop.


Photography has given us a way to blend our greatest passions; being out in nature, exploring new places, and capturing stories that matter. Our work and life flow together seamlessly, rooted in connection, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the beauty in everyday moments.


If you're dreaming of an elopement or an intimate wedding, there's a good chance you share that same passion for meaningful moments, for freedom, and for carving out a path that’s entirely your own.


We’d be honored to help you create a day that reflects your love and your spirit... an adventure that’s entirely yours!
