Adventure Elopement
& Intimate Wedding
photo + film powerhouse.
We are EXPERIENCE ARCHITECTS
for the love struck & adventurous at heart. Little else professionally gets us as fired up as filming couples on these intimate elopement and wedding journeys.
We are absolute photo + video FREEKS!! 🤣 WE'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR OVER 12 YEARS & SHOOTING LOVE STORIES EVER SINCE.
Every time we get on location for an elopement or wedding, an energy pulses through us incomparable to anything else in life. We become one with you and the universe.
We deeply believe in marriage. To us, the beauty, contours and austerity of landscapes and venues that provide a uniquely honest backdrop for these holy passages, drive us to continue down this path.
hOLA!

WE LOVE TRAVEL!
we're KATIE & PAUL
Katie and Paul brought such a calming presence that we felt at complete peace even when things didn’t go as planned. They made it even better than the original plan! They were way more than just photographers, they were my counselor and now forever friends!

Paul and Katie of Shutterfreek are my go-to photographers and at the top of my recommended photographer list! They're a creative force and not only understand how a wedding day unfolds and stacks up with all key elements and moments to cover, but can read a client's personality adjusting to their needs and desires. Accolades are high with Shutterfreek and I can always trust and depend on them to do an amazing job with both photography coverage - both as artists and methodical planners and editors. Always looking forward to more creative endeavors and celebrations with this duo!

Having a destination wedding can be nerve-wrecking with picking vendors, but when I saw ShutterFreek’s photo in the Rocky Mountain Bride Magazine during the planning, I knew I had to reach out. Paul and Katie make you feel so comfortable as the bride and groom, but also do an incredible job making everyone in the wedding party feel inclusive and natural as well. Our wedding party had people of all races & sizes and they were able to capture everyone at their best. If you're looking for a couple who are genuinely nice people and who are super talented in what they do, then ShutterFreek is the photo/video partner you should hire for your wedding day. 5-stars and would highly recommend ShutterFreek!

PERFECTIONISTS IN OUR CRAFT
We wish we had the luxury for anything to be “good enough.” But we don’t. We're driven to continue in growth and development. We truly want to be the most competent love storyteller's we can possibly be.

When Lily & Dana first reached out about their Scottsdale, AZ Wedding we were ecstatic! Then we realized they were both ultra hot models and HMUA Pros, We knew without a doubt, it was going to be epic!
Amy & Kevin set out on a completely blind White Sands Elopement Adventure without anything other than their backpacks and marriage licence. Elopement Adventure of a lifetime.
See a sneak peek of Whitney and Nick's hike to Cascade Falls for their engagement session in the middle of winter. We love when couples are willing to adventure with us!
"I have an idea. Let's rent a Ski Resort Lodge, adventure elope with only our closest family & dog, hike around for a while after, eat gourmet sliders, and have an exclusive reception party in The Nugget bar to close it out."

EPIC STORIES BEGIN WITH LOCATION
Where will your story take place? The location or venue you are choosing becomes the canvas for your story. We recommmend thinking more about the landscape vs. the specific location.
If you need help honing in on the perfect location, LET'S CHAT!
WEDDING VS. ELOPEMENT
The main questions you need ask yourself this is: "Do I want to share my wedding day with all my closest friends & family, or do I want to this day to be solely about US." It's Gathering vs. Intimacy. It's important to remember, this is YOUR DAY. Make your special day be exactly the way you've always dreamed about it.
