The day you get married is IMPORTANT!
Nobody deserves to feel pressured into a type of wedding day that they don't want or that doesn't feel like them. Your wedding day should be a reflection of who you are and a unique celebration of your love. The experience in which you say your vows to your partner, when you commit the rest of your life to them, MATTERS. You deserve to have a wedding experience that is authentically you and everything you've ever dreamed of. If a traditional wedding doesn't align with who you are, or what you want- that's perfectly okay! Instead, you could have an elopement.
What is an Adventure Elopement?
An elopement is an intimate, experience-driven, intentional celebration of your relationship that focuses on what matters most- two people exchanging their vows and committing their lives to one another. There are many types of elopements, but adventure elopements are typically outside in nature and involve some element of adventure.
Eloping allows you to set aside stress, expectations, and throw out any traditions you don't feel connected to. You can elope just the two of you, or you can elope surrounded by your very closest family and friends. The beautiful thing about eloping? There are no rules.
Imagine...
...starting your day by cooking breakfast with one another and writing your vows side by side as you sip on your coffee.
...taking a moment to read letters from loved ones not present.
...hiking to the most beautiful overlook and saying your vows right at sunset.
...going kayaking, taking a ride in a helicopter, going on an off-road adventure, or starting the day with a hot air balloon ride.
...cuddling in a hammock, playing your favorite board game, going for a swim, or listening to music.
...having a picnic with all your favorite snacks, hiring a private chef to make you a delicious meal, or enjoying your favorite dessert.
...ending the day with stargazing, dancing around a campfire, or relaxing in a hot tub.
The possibilities for your day are endless.
Your elopement day isn't just about the highlights. It's a whole day of memories. I want to tell a story. Your story.
Worried About being in photos?
Don't be.
Seriously! Every single couple I've photographed has expressed concern or been worried about having their photos taken before their elopement day with me. You're not alone!
Then after their elopement day, couples tell me that it was a lot easier than they expected, they had a lot of fun, and they forgot I was taking photos! (Plus, their photos look amazing!)
Your elopement experience can be this way too.
