Hello!

We are Blake and Ira (pronounced earaa), an adventure officiant and photographer team from South Lake Tahoe. Aside from rural living on the family ranch, we enjoy exploring the sierras, traveling the world, and helping people make their most bold and ambitious elopement dreams come true. We will climb mountains, ride hot air balloons, and hike countless miles to the most beautiful waterfalls to make reading your vows a true adventure.

Blake, Irina, and Jess did such a wonderful job making our dream elopement a reality. It felt like we were talking to people we've known forever. The thing that stands out most is how much they care.

Irina and Blake knocked it out of the park! The ceremony spot was so secluded, it felt so intimate, and Blake's ceremony was better than I could've imagined. If you're trying to decide, book them NOW!

Maria and John

We could not have asked for a better officiant. He understood the most important values of our relationship and beautifully incorporated them into the ceremony.

It was 20 degrees and snowing and both were such troopers. Blake really made our ceremony personal to us, even adding music from a movie that meant a lot to us!

Jessica and Matthew

So easy to book. Irina included personal touches like our first dance song, and Blake did an amazing job as our officiant. They made our day so incredible.
