Question #1
can i invite loved ones to my elopement?

Yes of course! elopements by design are more intimate but, that doesn't mean that it can only be you and your signifant other and no one else. if you want to bring along your parents, siblings, or close friends to share in your special day then absolutely have them tag along. in order to keep the essence of your wedding raw, authentic, & intimate, we photograph elopements with 25 or less guests.

question #2
what vendors do i need for my elopement?

this is dependent on what your vision is for your day. number one would of course be a photographer so that you can document all of the precious moments of your day but there's so many wonderful vendors you can also include. 

other vendors that work well for elopements include:
- a florist
- a hair & make up artist
- musician
- private chef
- videographer

question #3
how do i decide where to elope?

this is one of our favorite parts to help you plan. the location sets the foundation for your entire elopement experience. the great thing about elopements is that you can go anywhere!!! seriously. don't be afraid to dream up something grand. we'll give you brainstorming tips and tricks that'll help to hone in on what place/s you'd enjoy saying "i do" at.

question #4
do i need an officiant & witnesses?

it depends on where you're eloping. most likely, yes. our best advice is to do research on the area/s you're interested in and see what the requirements are for marriage licenses etc... there are a few states in the u.s.a. that allow self solemnization (getting married without an officiant or witnesses). 

the states that possibly allow a self solemnized wedding are:
- california
- colorado
- illinois
- kansas
- maine
- nevada
- pennsylvania
- WASHINGTON D.C.
- wisconsin

side note: brent is ordained and can act as an officiant/witness in most states if you need!

question #5
do we need to have a date & location set before we book with you?

not at all! selecting the date and location is one of the first steps we work on with you after you book with us. if this is something that you already know then that's great! so often though, couples are at a loss as to figuring out exactly when and where to elope and that's ok. Sarah and i will offer all of our insights to help you pick the best time and place for you to exchange your vows.
