YOU CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT YOU WANT TO ELOPE AND A HUGE WEIGHT LIFTED OFF OF YOUR SHOULDERS...
We absolutely love working with couples like you two – ready to go against the grain and kick what’s ‘traditional’.
YOU WANT TO HAVE THE MOST SPECIAL DAY OUT IN NATURE
You want to have a day that is uniquely yours
We’re so stoked that you two made this decision!!
You’re not bound by venue capacity or concerns about who can and can’t make it on which specific weekends.
The world is your oyster!
But at the same time – the world is actually your oyster.
Now that you can go anywhere and do anything, you may have realized that you (somehow) have even more decisions to make than you did before.
So if you’re feeling overwhelmed and have no idea where to even start, it’s really good that you’re here.
Because, yes — technically, we’re a photographer and videographer.
YOU WANT TO PACK IT FULL OF ADVENTURES AND MEMORIES THAT WILL ACTUALLY LAST A LIFETIME
But in reality…
We’re way more
than just a
photographer
and videographer
We’re your travel guides, adventure buddies, ‘perfect day’ planners, logistics coordinators, backup plan creators, and new BFFs
— all wrapped up into one.
We’re your travel guides, adventure buddies, ‘perfect day’ planners, logistics coordinators, backup plan creators, and new BFFs — all wrapped up into one.
Hey!
We’re Megan and Todd.
Just like you two, we’re a dream team that pairs perfectly together. We’re like an ice-cold beer and a juicy burger, like a big pile of nachos and a spicy margarita, like an early morning sunrise and a hot cup of coffee.
Each of those things is really great on their own, but when paired together, the dial gets turned up to 10. To 12, even.
We enhance the best parts of each other. Fill in each other’s gaps.
AND WE’RE THE ANSWER TO “WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN A ROCKET SCIENTIST MEETS A VET ON BUMBLE IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC?”
ELOPE WITH US
I’m (Megan)
the photographer
I’m the big-picture planner, your cheerleader and emcee, who leads the day and makes sure we get all the best shots in all the locations.
It’s that magic pairing that you can’t fake, you can’t explain, but you know it when you see it and feel it (or, like the beer and burger… taste it).
THE OUTGOING ONE
Todd is our videographer
He makes sure everything is accounted for, ensures we have enough food and drink, takes care of the little things that support the big picture, and always notices if a bride is cold (and grabs her a jacket or blanket).
HE'S THE QUIET AND CONSIDERATE ONE
We’re a pair of retired doctors that believe in magic
We’re best friends, husband and wife (to be), business and life partners, and your photographer + videographer dream team.
We love exploring and adventuring around epic locations, and you’ll find us pulling up to your elopement in our truck or Jeep, or sometimes even our motorhome — Todd in the driver's seat making sure we get there safe and on time, and me with my camera already out, capturing your adventure from minute one.
So whether you want to wake up at 3:30 AM to scale a mountain and say “I Do” just as the sun is rising up over the mountain peaks…
Or you want to ride dune buggies through a canyon, and say your vows in the middle of the desert at high noon…
Or you want to take a trail walk through the forest with your dogs, stand on the edge of a cliff, and vow “forever” while surrounded by snow-covered mountains…
Or anything in between...
We’ll help you plan every single detail along the way
...until it feels like the most perfect and epic way for you two to start your forever adventure, whatever that happens to look like.
Then you get to show up, be taken care of, and not stress about a single thing all day.
Your only job will be to love on each other, have a boatload of fun, and say “I do.”

I can’t wait to ask for her talent again to shoot another momental event in the future.
TESTIMONIAL
“Before we were engaged, I was following Hazel & Lace on Instagram admiring all the elopements & wedding photos. When my husband (finally) popped the question, I knew immediately to inquire Megan to take our engagement photos & our wedding. It was the greatest news to hear she was available to do so. During the engagement shoot, it was completely freezing in Joshua Tree during February but she made us feel like weather wasn’t an option & all that mattered was us. Our photos came out like a dream! They were simply gorgeous. For the big day, Megan was amazing with relieving the stress & keeping the easygoing vibe flowing... Megan and her team were great at being present for any moment yet be discrete. & I’m so thankful she remembered to take photos of me in my jean jacket that I got embroidered for the wedding. She was on it! I still can’t stop looking at our photos. Thank you so much Megan!“

Yes, we’re going to capture every beautiful and epic moment from your elopement day
BUT WE ALSO…
- Plan your entire adventure from start to finish, customized to whatever ‘perfect’ looks like for you two.
- Scout out your dream location and a few backups… just in case the weather decides to mess with us. This way, we get to ‘go with the flow’ and enjoy the day no matter what happens or what curveballs are thrown our way.
- Secure all of the required permits depending on your chosen location.
- Coordinate timelines, checklists, and all other logistics.
- Recommend local florists, hair and makeup artists, officiants, and anything else you need to save you time and stress.
- Manage the timeline of the whole day, make sure we’re where we need to be and when, so that you two can relax, have fun, and just be in the moment (instead of checking the time and worrying about logistics).
- Create magical moments throughout your day so you two genuinely have the best day and memories possible.
- Keep in touch with you throughout the entire planning process, as much or as little as you need, so that you feel comfortable, confident, and in the loop from start to finish.
- Bring our truck or Jeep along so that we can all safely get to all the epic, hidden locations, no matter where they’re located (and you don’t have to rent a vehicle and navigate the unfamiliar terrain!)
- Bring everything we need to have the best time no matter what happens or where the day takes us — supplies for a campfire, coolers full of goodness, extra blankets and jackets, you name it! We’ve got you covered.
ELOPE WITH US
AND, TO TOP IT ALL OFF…
we deliver a major “sneak peek” of 15-20 images taken at different points of your day
within 24 hours of saying ‘I do’.
You won’t find many (or any) other photographers that offer this many images in such a short turnaround time.
We do sneak peeks so quickly because when you get married out in the middle of nowhere, you have people back home wishing they were there with you. So we make sure that you’re able to share stunning photos with your circle that represent your day, and I refuse to let you pass along a few random iPhone shots.
This means that you can share your big day with your family and friends right away, and continue riding the high from the day before, too.

This part always makes the Grandma’s really happy.
She made us feel like models, and our pictures turned out incredible.
TESTIMONIAL
Megan of Hazel and Lace photography was amazing to work with. She helped us plan our elopement and acted as our wedding planner and photographer. We live in Florida and planned our elopement in Zion, relying on Megan's expertise without meeting her in person. Megan found our ceremony spot and photo location, even scoping it out beforehand. Despite bad weather, Megan happily accommodated our rescheduling. She made us feel like models, and our pictures turned out incredible. They were returned quickly, and looking back at them overwhelmed us with emotions, capturing every moment of our special day. We highly recommend Hazel and Lace to our friends in need of an elopement photographer. Thank you, Megan, for capturing our day. These photos will be treasured forever.

Do we really
need videography?
We absolutely recommend videography to every couple. Video just hits differently than photos do — you truly get to relive the day when it’s captured on film.
The way your voice shook while reading your vows, tears falling slowly down your cheeks. The way you gasped during your first look, and all the emotions that skipped across your face. How you two laughed and squeezed each other's hands the moment you realized this is finally happening.
In a decade from now, in 25 years from now, you’ll wish you had a way to really see yourselves as you are today. The way you walked, moved, looked at each other, danced, kissed, popped the champagne, and said “I Do” in the most epic spot on earth.
Exactly how you were when you promised yourselves to each other for the rest of your lives.
NOW, YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING…
This isn’t your typical wedding video
IT’S AN EPIC, TRAILER-STYLE VIDEO MEANT TO MOVE PEOPLE AND BE SHARED.
It won’t sit and collect dust, or be taped over by the Super Bowl.
This is your wild love story, the coolest day of your shared lives so far, the day that you begin forever together.
Of course, the decision is yours whether you include it or not. But we believe that if there’s any one day that deserves its own video, it’s this day.
And plus — it’s just really, really freaking cool.

We thought you might say that!
But before we start printing out maps and packing up our Jeep, we’ll get you to fill out a contact form and tell us some things about you two, your love story, and the vision you have in mind for your wedding day.
After we review your form, we’ll send you a pricing guide that’s more tailored to your specific needs and location, as well as a link to book your initial consultation call.
We’ll hop on a Zoom call, become best friends, and you’ll show us your dog(s). After our call, we’ll send over a contract and an invoice. It’s all done online and is super easy.
And then the fun starts – we get to work to bring your dreams to life! We meet up for a beer, go on an adventure, and have a great time.
And at the end, you’ll have photos (and potentially a video) to remind you of all the amazing memories.
OH, and you’ll also be married. How does that sound?
WE CAN’T WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU TWO AND JOIN YOU ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY.

"I can honestly say that Megan *FAR* exceeded our expectations to make our wedding absolutely perfect!"
TESTIMONIAL
I can honestly say that Megan *FAR* exceeded our expectations to make our wedding absolutely perfect!
We went in with only a vague idea of what we were looking for, but she paid close attention to our requests and always had a Plan B, C, and D in her back pocket to be seamlessly deployed in case something didn't work out exactly as was expected. Not only did she coordinate our actual ceremony, but she was able to put together a timeline of hiking, a helicopter tour of Zion, some Jeep off-roading, and a campfire complete with s'mores.

THESE LOCATIONS ARE OUR JAM
We know them inside and out.
BUT – we’re always open to exploring new areas. We dedicate time to scouting your dream location so that we know it just as well as an old friend by the time we bring you along on your day. Please reach out if you have somewhere else in mind that isn’t listed here… a State, a national park, or even a very specific tree… if it’s in the US, we’re in!
If you have a dream that’s no more fleshed out than ‘we want to get married up in the mountains with snow in the background’, we’ll find that snowy mountain and bring the entire thing to life.
Whether we’ve been to a location a million times or we’re headed to a new one, we’re going to treat it the same way.
No matter what – we got you.
STATES:
New Mexico (our home!), Colorado, Utah, Arizona, California, and Hawaii.
CITIES:
Moab, Breckenridge, Telluride, Sedona
NATIONAL PARKS:
Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Joshua Tree, Yosemite
Whether we fly, drive, camp, or hitchhike our way to your wedding, travel costs are always included in all our packages.

Take a look at the album you’ll pass on for generations:
Our full-day package includes a premium album — you have a choice of either a leather-bound or linen album. And then you can leave the rest of the decisions (and work) to us!
The truth is that “pick out photos and make an album” ends up staying on your to-do list for months, sometimes even years after your wedding day. Most of the time, it just doesn’t get done ever.
It becomes such a hassle for you: you have to do the research to find out where to even get a good quality album printed, and then spend the time sorting through your photos, picking your favorites, and arranging them to look good.
We know you don’t have time for that… so we’ve got you.
We’ll choose all the best *NUMBER* photos (unless you want to take care of this step, that works, too!), arrange them in a way that tells the full story of your day, and also take care of all ordering, printing, and delivery logistics.
Within 3 months, you’ll have an album at your door — the one that your family will pass down for generations to come.
These albums are made from high-quality materials, and photos are printed on premium paper that won’t degrade—they’re specifically designed to last for decades without fading.
Half-day and mini packages can add a premium album for $1500.
She's so talented and easy-going and we felt ZERO stress with her by our side
TESTIMONIAL
“Megan was an absolute gem to work with and she captured such stunning moments of love! We felt so supported and taken care of by her and it was so special to travel to and share one of our favorite places with her! She's so talented and easy-going and we felt ZERO stress with her by our side (even during those crazy months when we thought about location and guest count changes).
Our wedding day was perfect and our photos are exactly the timeless, dreamy kind that we wanted them to be. <3“

CAN WE INCLUDE SOME GUESTS? -
Yes! As long as the location allows, we can plan for and accommodate up to 15 guests and find ways to make your day fun for them, too. Keep in mind that logistics get difficult with more people and will limit location options. (Bathrooms, parking, and seating, just to name a few things, get more complicated as you add more people to your day.)

HOW LONG UNTIL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS? -
One of the unique services I provide is sending you several high-resolution sneak peeks within 24-48 hours of your wedding. That way, you quickly have images to share with your family and on social media! The full gallery will be finished within 4-8 weeks.

WHAT’S THE TURNAROUND TIME ON THE VIDEOS? -
You’ll receive your teaser trailer within *TIMEFRAME* and your full video in 3 months.

Absolutely! Most of our couples travel for their elopement, so we love giving you the inside scoop on where to stay, what to eat, where to do, and what to do!

We firmly believe that:
Love is love.
Black Lives matter.
LGBTQ+ lives matter, and trans kids need to be protected.
Reproductive rights are human rights.
No human is illegal.
Water is life.
Climate change and science are real.
And if you disagree with any of the above, we ask that you please find another small business that aligns with your views.
