Castlehouse is rooted in Love, authenticity, Joy, and Adventure

Love

Love (of course!) is the heartbeat of every story we capture. Elopements are deeply intimate celebrations of love, where couples choose to prioritize their connection above all else. By embracing love as a core value, we ensure that every moment we capture is infused with genuine emotion and passion. Love is the guiding force behind our work, allowing us to craft visual narratives that not only document the event but also evoke the profound feelings shared between you as a couple. It's not only the very essence of Castlehouse, but is an emotion vital for us to create timeless memories that resonate with the hearts of you and your partner for years to come.

authenticity

Authenticity is a core value of Castlehouse because it serves as the foundation of genuine connection and trust. When we embrace authenticity, we honor our true selves and cultivate meaningful relationships based on openness and sincerity. We’re going to be spending one of the most important days of your life with you and we take great pride in becoming friends with you in the process of planning your elopement. We want to feel like old friends by the time the elopement day rolls around and we can’t do that without letting you in on who we are. Whether it’s in our personal interactions or creative endeavors, we strive to foster an environment where people feel seen, heard, and valued for who they truly are.

No matter who you, what you look like or how you loved, you are welcome here. And, we hope you welcome us into your life too :)

Joy

Joy is an important core value because it infuses every aspect of the elopement experience with positivity, vibrancy, and celebration. Elopements are inherently joyful occasions, marked by the union of two individuals deeply in love. By rooting in joy, we ensure that every interaction- from the initial planning stages to the final moments of the celebration- is imbued with happiness and enthusiasm. Joy is our guiding light that shapes our approach, inspiring us to create and nurture environments where couples feel free to express their love wholeheartedly. By pursuing what we love, and telling stories of others doing the same, we hope to see that joy spread far beyond the reaches of our own community.

Adventure

What does adventure mean to you? To us here at Castlehouse, adventure is the pursuit of thrilling experiences that push boundaries, ignite curiosity, and create lasting memories. Adventures can be big or small and we are ready to adventure with you at the level that feels the best for you as a couple. Adventure mirrors the spirit of exploration, spontaneity, and boldness found in elopements. Elopements symbolize stepping into the unknown, and by embracing adventure, we are able to capture not only the stunning landscapes, but also the exhilaration and thrill of your unique journey as a couple. We value adventure because it helps us craft visual stories that reflect the joy of discovery and the excitement of navigating new experiences together. Ultimately, adventure is more than a theme—it's the essence that drives both couples and creators to embrace the journey and create unforgettable moments.
