Tips
for eloping in wild places

Eloping on a weekday is almost always going to be the best time to plan your elopement, especially when choosing a State or National Park. 

While you're bound to come across other hikers and tourists, for the most intimate experience, choosing an off-season and a weekday will heighten your chances of having a more quiet and intimate experience!

While I try to keep information updated as frequently as possible, be sure to always do your own research about obtaining your marriage license, as well as any necessary permits for locations.
If you book your elopement with me, I will always give the most recent information about obtaining your marriage license, as well as any permits we may need for your epic elopement!

While there are decades of weather patterns that are used to get an idea of what time of year is best for your elopement, ultimately- anything can happen! When deciding on if you should elope, consider the possibility for unexpected delays, bad weather, and a change of plans! If this isn't something you would be okay with on your wedding day, consider an indoor space, like an Airbnb, to have a safe but intimate location!
When you book your elopement with me, I will create multiple back up plans with you, to ensure we not only have an alternative route, but that the backup plans still make your dream elopement happen!

THREE EASY STEPS
to plan an elopement beyond your wildest dreams!
Determine the Basics. If you were planning the best day of your life- Where would you go? What would you do? Would it be just you and your partner, or would you want your closest friends and family with you?
Now include your ceremony and bring your wedding attire, and turn your "best day ever" into your wedding day!
1.
Secure your Vendors. Determine what kind of vendors you need to make your dream elopement become reality! Do you need a photographer/ videographer? A HMUA? Florist, or Officiant? Take your time and be sure to ask all the questions you may have to determine which vendors are right for you. If you need an elopement planner + photo/video team, you're in the right place!
2.
Finalize the Details. An experienced and quality elopement photographer will also be a huge expert in planning epic elopements, so they will help you create a relaxed timeline, obtain permits as needed, help with your marriage license, and more! Be sure to book your lodging, flights, car rentals, etc!
