Elopement Essentials
-
Almost anywhere! City parks, mountain overlooks, by the river... We know the perfect spots and can help you navigate any permit requirements.
-
The only rule is to wear what feels authentic to you! For an adventurous elopement, that might mean sturdy boots with a wedding dress, or a linen suit perfect for a forest ceremony. Or, if your vision is saying "I do" in a full gown and tuxedo on a mountaintop, we absolutely encourage you to go for it! Prioritize comfort for your location, but never feel you have to compromise on your vision.
