Cedar & Pines
We're Nate + Megan - adventurers first and foremost, whose interest in art and desire to explore brought us here, photographing love stories in the outdoors. We're based in Joshua Tree California, and we travel out of our vintage 1974 Airstream named Judy for intimate weddings and adventurous elopements all over the West. Our work aims to be timeless, elevated, and honest - capturing the epic landscape and the moments within it.
Services
We are Nate & Megan Kantor, we're married and we photograph weddings and elopements together all over the Western US. We met as students in art school, fell in love over road trips and backpacking, and finally said our vows on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Nature has always been where we've found our inspiration, and we're driven to create for couples whose love stories take them to the wilder places.
No two celebrations are exactly alike, and no two couples are the same. We photograph weddings and elopements in locations all across the globe and we often help our couples plan their adventures in these faraway places. Each location, each couple is different - our packages are designed with flexibility to meet these needs.
This weekend we had the immense privilege of capturing Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell's wedding in Colorado. Check out a few images below! Thomas + Kassie's elopement was an intentionally spent day in mid-April. We started the morning exploring the beach and hanging out by their tent eating pastries from Big Sur Bakery.
Thanks so much for reaching out! We get so excited about every inquiry that comes to our inbox and we do our best to get back to you within 24 hours. If you send your inquiry on a weekend, expect to hear back on Monday (we prioritize family time and adventures on weekends).

I honestly cannot rave enough about Megan and Nate of Cedar & Pines Photography. They are a true joy to work with and incredible artists. We were so nervous about being awkward in front of the camera for both our engagement and wedding pictures, but Megan and Nate helped us feel comfortable and natural. They were able to capture our love beautifully and we highly recommend working with them! They are SO worth the investment and you won't regret it. We can't wait to work with them again in the future.

Megan and Nate are the most incredible photographers and genuinely amazing people. They were with us every step of the way with our elopement planning process and on our wedding day. They were responsive, professional, and gave perfect advice.
We were nervous about taking pictures, but they made the whole experience feel so natural. They knew exactly when to direct us and also captured candid moments so beautifully. Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined and Megan and Nate delivered them so quickly! We loved adventuring with them and had the most magical wedding day. Choosing

We found Cedar & Pines from an article in Junebug and were blown away with their photography style. We contacted them and felt as if we connected instantly. They understood the ideas we had in mind (very ambitiously and tightly planned) and helped us feel ready the day of our wedding. Megan and Nate were extremely professional in their recommendations, research and advice to help us plan our wedding day. They were willing to stay flexible with us despite unexpected Covid hurdles that came our way.
The day of our wedding was very simple but magical. Megan and Nate were fantastic at providing direction

My husband and I eloped in 2019 in the San Juan's of Colorado. We booked Megan and Nate to be our photographers and would do it a thousand times over. They truly are incredible, and we cannot stress that enough. We really enjoyed having them be a part of our day! They went over and beyond for our elopement. They are so knowledgeable and such sweet people! Our photos are amazing! We really cannot imagine our day without them being there! If you are looking for some down to earth people who you can trust these are your people! Also, Theo their pup is pretty great too!

Megan and Nate are phenomenal photographers and artists. They captured our special moments so naturally and with all the romance, intimacy, and peace we felt. And they were lovely companions and guides for the day as well! They are the right choice for a quiet, intimate, romantic elopement.

I found Megan and Nate via a google search after stumbling upon a couple other photographers and the term Adventure Elopement. After reviewing their Instagram images-I knew that if their schedules aligned with ours that they were THEEE photographers my then fiance and I would really be interested in working with. The images they posted made me stop mid-scroll every time. Their captures evoked so much emotion and every single time they posted I'd say to myself "this is how I want my wedding day to feel". These feelings were further reinforced when we received their response after filling out the

Megan and Nate are so welcoming and make you feel super comfortable in front of their cameras. It's so nice feeling like you can be yourself in photos because it really shows when they capture those moments. Cannot recommend them enough!

If you don't read this whole review, at least take one thing away: Megan and Nate are AMAZING people and photographers, and shooting with them is one of the best decisions you'll make.
My husband and I came to Colorado for our wedding anniversary and really wanted to have someone capture us doing somewhat of a vow renewal on top of a mountain. From the very first email response to our delivered gallery, Megan and Nate were professional, prompt, and super personable (which was really important to us). Not to mention the photos they delivered were beyond stunning. They truly captured what makes

I just looked at my wife and asked "Hey is it too much to say that Nate and Megan were one of our favorite parts of our wedding day? We both agreed that was an understatement, if anything.
Nate and Megan love their jobs, and that shines throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding day. They'll Skype or meet with you throughout the planning process, asking questions and getting an idea of your vision, while also offering their professional opinions on what works best from prior experience.
When our wedding day came, Nate and Megan seamlessly took pictures and we barely even noticed
