The Earth + Heart Experience™
Elopements designed with intention, shaped by landscape and connection
At Step Out Photography, the Earth + Heart Experience™ is the foundation of how we approach every elopement. It is not just about where you go or how your day looks, but how it feels while you are there.
We believe the most meaningful elopements are created when intention leads the way. When there is space to slow down, be present, and truly connect, both with each other and with the landscape around you.
This approach allows us to design elopements that feel grounded, personal, and true to who you are. The places you choose are honored, the pace is thoughtful, and your connection remains at the center of it all. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced. Everything is created with care.
An intentional approach to
presence, place, and story
Why Earth + Heart
At the heart of the Earth + Heart Experience™ is a simple belief: meaningful elopements begin with presence.
When couples feel supported and unhurried, moments unfold naturally. Connection takes the lead, and the day is free from pressure or performance.
We believe the places you choose matter deeply. Landscape is never just a backdrop. It influences the pace, the energy, and how your story is experienced.
When place and connection align, everything settles into something calm, grounded, and true.
Presence first. Everything else follows.
HEARTLINE DISCOVERY™
Understanding what matters most
and how your connection wants to be felt.
We take time to learn your story, your priorities, and how you want your elopement to feel.
EARTHBOUND CREATION™
Holding space for presence
while moments happen naturally.
On your elopement day, we document honestly, allowing real moments to unfold without pressure or performance.
EARTH + STORY DESIGN™
Shaping place and flow together
so the day unfolds with intention.
We thoughtfully align location, light, and pacing so your elopement feels natural, unhurried, and true to you.
HEARTCRAFTED LEGACY™
Preserving your story with care
long after the day has passed.
Your images are curated and delivered with intention so your memories feel as meaningful years from now as they do today.
Amy + Dylan
From the very beginning, everything felt thoughtful and unhurried. We never felt rushed or staged. The day unfolded so naturally, and we were able to truly be present with each other and the place we chose. It felt calm, meaningful, and completely us. Jenny and Helder are the best!
A calm, unhurried experience where nothing feels rushed or forced
Space to slow down, breathe, and be fully present with one another
Thoughtful support throughout the process, from planning through delivery
A deep respect for the landscapes you choose and the meaning they hold
An elopement shaped around how the day feels, not how it looks to others
Room to be yourselves, connect naturally, and let real moments unfold
What the Earth + Heart Experience™
Feels Like for Our Couples
Bringing Earth + Heart to Life
The Earth + Heart Experience™ shapes every elopement we create, from quiet ceremonies to multi day adventures in meaningful places. It carries through how we plan, how the day unfolds, and how your story is documented and preserved.
This approach allows elopements to feel intentional, grounded, and deeply personal, rooted in both the landscapes you choose and the connection you share.
If this way of approaching your elopement feels aligned, we would love to connect and learn more about you and what you are dreaming of.
