To Elope or Not to Elope? Let'S break it down.


Traditional weddings can sometimes feel like you’re following a set of rules of things you have to check off a list in order for the day to be successful. The truth is, no one is holding you accountable for anything you don’t do on the day of your wedding. When you elope, you’re giving yourself and your future spouse the chance to go away with what society says you need to do and instead you get to throw rules to the wind and do what makes you comfortable

Here are a few other reasons why I think elopements could possibly be more special than a traditional wedding:

Intimacy


Eloping allows you and your partner to focus solely on each other, free from the distractions and obligations of a large wedding. Whether it’s a serene beach ceremony or a quiet exchange of vows in your backyard, the day becomes a true reflection of you're bond.

Your rules


With elopement, you’re not bound by traditional timelines or venues. Choose a date that feels right, a location that holds meaning, and a ceremony that reflects your unique love story. Whether it’s a mountaintop, a forest clearing, or your favorite city spot, the choice is entirely yours.

Personal touch


An intimate setting provides the opportunity for your photographer to capture genuine moments without the constraints of a packed schedule. Every glance, laugh, and tear is documented, creating a collection of memories that truly represent your day.
