Let's be real. Weddings are stressful. Small, intimate weddings are lovely, but I think elopements, in the truest sense of the definition (the act of running off secretly, as to be married), might be the way to go, especially if you are the type of couple to embrace romance AND adventure. Let's go off venue!
An elopement doesn't have to mean a quick trip to the justice of the peace, or a drunken visit in front of an Elvis impersonator on the Vegas strip. (Although, I'm not gonna lie, that last one sounds like it could be good times!) Make your day as personal and romantic as suits your nature. Get the dress, a bouquet of flowers, maybe a jacket and tie, then spend the day together. Get ready together. Stroll hand in hand to your ceremony. Dance like no one is watching. Set no time constraints, and you'll have all the time in the world for gorgeous portraits together, right up to sunset.
Intimate weddings or elopements make for great destination weddings. When it comes to locations, think outside the courthouse. Do you prefer a modern, urban look? Is an historic or rustic setting more to your liking? Maybe rent a lake cottage or a nearby winery. Secure a romantic setting that provides the perfect ambiance for your day.
Skip the stress and pressure of trying to please family members, save time and money on a reception which requires catering and cake, music and a ballroom, a large guest list and confusing seating charts. Do NOT skip the services of a professional photographer! This is still one of the most special days of your life, where you'll want to preserve the excitement of your adventure together.
Planning ahead for your ceremony photography is important. Even the briefest of ceremonies require a bit of forethought. If you choose to enjoy the majestic grandeur of a National Park, for example, Commercial Use Authorization with a permit is required. This is the type of thing a professional photographer can help you with.
The private nature of elopements allow for a portrait-style of photography. All custom packages are crafted to suit your needs, with pricing based on the size, scope, and type of ceremony planned.
