Ascend Together began with a simple realization

Growing up as a wedding videographer’s daughter, Dana learned early that the most powerful moments are the ones that unfold naturally. Watching her parents' 90's wedding video—grainy, imperfect, and full of feeling—reminded her just how precious it is to feel a memory, not just see it.
After years of documenting big weddings, Dana saw how often couples were pulled away from each other instead of together. The pace left little room to pause, connect, or fully feel the weight of the day. Elopements became a way to slow it all down.
Today, Ascend Together Co. supports couples in planning meaningful elopements across California’s most iconic destinations—Big Sur, Yosemite, and Lake Tahoe. These natural spaces invite stillness and reflection, making it easier to stay grounded and truly feel the meaning of the day.
