You know planning comes with handling family expectations, researching the right vendors. navigating unfamiliar locations, and making sense of all the legalities and logistics.
Growing up as a wedding videographer’s daughter, Dana saw firsthand the power of capturing love stories on video. After rediscovering her parents' wedding video from the '90s, the emotional impact of seeing them young and in love inspired her to offer couples the same living memory through photo & video.
Ascend Together Co. provides full elopement planning, photography, and video services. The team takes care of every detail, so couples can enjoy a stress-free day. Both photography and video capture genuine moments in a natural, documentary style, with a nostalgic, home-video touch that creates memories to cherish forever.
Eloping in an area you are unfamiliar with can be challenging and Dana did an amazing job figuring EVERYTHING out for us. She gave us SOOO many options for a small family elopement and scheduled the entire timeline of the day.
Working with Dana was amazing! Our original wedding plans were rescheduled and then canceled due to the pandemic, so we decided to switch gears and elope. All of my planning and research had been for an intimate ceremony so I didn't really know where to start for an elopement, Dana walked us through the whole process and helped us plan everything in less than 2 months. Working with her was like getting a photographer and planner in one! She had so many helpful guides and suggestions, she walked us through the permitting process in Yosemite and showed us what was possible to do with our day. Having her expertise took so much of the stress out of planning and all of the photos turned out amazing. Plus she had a few photos edited and ready for us to share in just a day instead of waiting for the full gallery. Would recommend her service to anyone looking for a fun, stress free elopement.
