Dear High Alpine Films family and friends,

After 2+ years and dozens of couples, it’s time for High Alpine Films to officially close its doors.

I have been fortunate to film elopements and intimate weddings in some of the most beautiful, wild locations in the American west. From stunning mountains to picturesque deserts, breathtaking beaches to crystal clear high alpine lakes, Mother Nature has been my office.

I thank all of my couples for entrusting me to capture and tell your stories from the best day of your lives. It is truly an honor to be part of these amazing celebrations. I’ve listened to private vows, witnessed first kisses, watched first dances, and drank champagne with some genuinely rad people. I am very blessed.

As they say, all good things must come to an end, and my first small business is no exception. So…

The bad news is High Alpine Films will no longer be booking new elopements, effective immediately.

The good news is I’ll still be filming beautiful love stories in epic outdoor places alongside my photographer wife, Megan, exclusively under the brand Please follow our work and adventures over there.

Cheers, Todd 🤙

P.S. Stay tuned for the rest of my 2023 films to drop in the next month or so. They are bangers!

P.P.S. The future of this IG account is TBD, so stick around to find out.

Heyo! After a month away from IG (well mostly, I cheated a few times), I’m back!!!

The last 6 weeks had been packed filled with love and adventure, including filming 3 and photographing 2 elopements and traveling to/fro Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. Oh yeah, and Megan and I hosted our post-elopement reception fiesta with family and friends in ABQ. Whew!!!

Here is only a snapshot of the shenanigans.

Heyo High Alpine Films fam and friends!

I’ll be out of the office and slow to respond to messages as Megan and I are eloping this week (9/3/23 - 9/10/23) in Alaska.

Check you on the flippity flip.

Once upon a time (circa 2015), I watched “Mile... Mile & a Half," a documentary about five friends who left their daily lives behind to hike California's historic John Muir Trail (JMT), a 211-mile stretch from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney. It was really freaking cool and inspiring, so I added "Complete the JMT" to my life bucket list.

However...I had no real plan or idea how I could make it a possibility. I had a steady 9 to 5 engineer careering, a 401K, a dog, and only 3 weeks of vacation a year. There was no realistic way I could skip out on work and life for such a big adventure. And so, it sat on the list.

Fast forward to 2020/2021. I met a girl, quit my job, became an entrepreneur, and out of nowhere, an old buddy of mine called me...he had snagged a permit for the JMT and had an open spot. F*CK YEAH!

17 days, 47K feet of elevation gain, 6 mountain passes, 35 candy bars, and 0 showers later…I checked it off the list.

Life is short. Do cool sh*t.

New year, new profile pic!

Stoke is high around High Alpine Films entering into 2023!

What will stay the same:
✔️ Filming epic adventure elopements
✔️ Prioritizing rad couples
✔️ Valuing the experience and friendship over bullsh!t that doesn’t matter
✔️ Core beliefs about human rights

What is new:
✔️ Being more intentional with the elopements I take on
✔️ Being more intentional with my calendar
❌ No longer filming weddings

The 2023 calendar is filling in quickly, so if you are newly engaged or planning to be engaged and are dreaming of a f*cking dope elopement in the mountains or desert, please snag your date soon. 🤙
