A BIT MORE ABOUT US
Tali
Hi there! I grew up in rural Minnesota, exploring in my childhood backyard with my brothers… climbing trees, wading through blackberry bushes, and running through the tall grass. My passion for travel started at a young age; my family would pack up in the pickup truck, camper in tow, and spend the summers exploring the natural beauty of the US. Now that I have a car (and a husband willing to drive), my desire to travel has no limit. Some of my favorite places I have visited are the North Cascade mountains and Glacier National Park. When I’m not out on the trail, I can often be found editing pictures, curled up with a good book, and spending time with family and friends… or building and designing life-saving medical devices (#nerdlife).
Dom
Hello. I am from central Minnesota, but fishing and exploring in the Montana Rockies gave me my passion for the outdoors. I am the pack mule of the duo and unofficial spider web remover. If you see me on the trail flailing around at an invisible foe, I am just doing my job. At home I enjoy biking and hiking the parks of Minnesota. I also enjoy finding edible mushrooms while exploring in the woods, but disclaimer, I’m not usually that successful. When at home, I can be found turning my gardening skills to raising household plants. We definitely have too many plants. It’s a struggle. My newest hobby is stargazing. Tali often wakes me up at 3 a.m. while camping to shoot exposures of the Milky Way, so I have taken the time to learn more about the stars and constellations.
Our Commitment to the Outdoors is Legit!
Doing our best to be good stewards of the outdoor spaces that we love is so important to us that we took a whole course on it! That’s right, we are certified Leave No Trace Aware Photographers through the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. We are so excited about the tools that this course gave us to be an even better resource for our couples who choose to get married outdoors.
OUR BRAND VALUES
Life Currently
Projects: We are wrapping up building our teardrop camper and starting a camper van build! We need to do an engine swap from our little donor van into the body we plan to build out and then the project begins!
Pass Times: We have been getting really into board games lately and love playing with people any chance we get. Dom’s current obsession is The Crew: Quest for Planet Nine. Pretty sure he always travels with it. 
Major Events: We bought a house! Dom is excited to have a garden that doesn’t need to be confined to pots and Lily Pad is thrilled to have a yard to run around in.
Food: Tali recently discovered a new chocolate chip cookie recipe and it has been in a major rotation in our desserts. It’s life-changing.
Next Adventures: We just got back from Hawaii and are excited for upcoming adventures in California, Wyoming, Washington, and Wisconsin.
