eloping is a term that you've most likely heard in your life and you've probably developed preconceived ideas about what an elopement is. but, eloping is no longer the same thing it once was!
elopements are a uniquely personal and intimate wedding day that you get to share with your significant other, as well as, close family and friends (if desired).
"this sounds like exactly what I'm looking for but, how do I make it all happen?"
Don't worry! that's where we come in.
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.
this is dependant 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, as well as, share them with your friends and family.
other vendors that work well for elopements include:
- a florist
- a hair & make up artist
- musician
- private chef
- videographer
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.
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 marraige licenses etc... there are a few states in the u.s.a. that allow self solemnization (get 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
