How To Elope

Whether you’re being forced by circumstance to celebrate your marriage in a more intimate fashion or you’ve decided on your own to go a non-traditional route, you may be wondering:

How do I elope?

Just like a traditional wedding, there is not a one-size-fits-all to elopements.

Many may think of elopements as a couple running off to Vegas on a whim, but in reality, they can be so much more than this! An elopement, in our definition, is an intentionally intimate & meaningful experience that authentically reflects the love two people share. You are still choosing to invest in your special day, but the focus is on the two of you & what matters most.

Usually, elopements include the couple, photographer, officiant, and whatever small group of family and friends they both may want to include. Remember, this day is intentionally intimate, small, and meaningful to reflect who you both are.  

Think about how you as a couple would like to commemorate your marriage. For some, this may mean being in nature. Perhaps, you choose your favorite outdoor activity & make your wedding day an adventure, like hiking to a scenic location in a National Park to exchange your vows!

For others, it may be an intimate gathering with a delicious meal prepared at a local restaurant or by a professional chef in your home.

If the idea of spending your wedding day the way YOU want to, in an intimate setting following your own version of the rules, sounds like your perfect day, then elopement may be the way to go!
