Why You Should Elope

Have you thought of eloping? Does the idea of planning a huge wedding sound absolutely daunting to you? Are you worried about people getting along or drama ensuing? Does the idea of throwing a huge party for hundreds of guests sound like the worst day, not the best day, of your life? If so, consider eloping!

How does a day with your partner sound? A day with just the two of you and a photographer, enjoying nature and an adventure. No drama, no stress, just you and your loved one being together. Sounds pretty great, right? Well, it is. I’ve seen it. I had the big wedding, you know the one where I didn’t eat for twelve hours straight because I was trying to be polite and greet all my guests. The wedding where some random guy showed up and people who weren’t supposed to bring guests brought weird dates and our food count got thrown off. The wedding where my bridesmaids threw fits about their dresses and the day just didn’t feel like my wedding. At all. Yup, I’ve been there.

But you know what? I’ve also been at elopements. I’ve seen a couple do their first look overlooking a valley of fog during the sunrise.

Then there was a couple who said their vows in the pouring rain with the waves crashing ashore behind them.

I’ve even seen a couple elope on a sailboat!

And with these epic elopements come gorgeous details! Rings, incredible florals, jewelry and shoes!

But the number one reason I love elopements? Authenticity. When you elope, you’re not worried about pleasing anyone else. Your only concern is making the day the best one of your life. Everything you plan is just for you. Every moment is for you and your partner alone. If you want to take a helicopter ride over Iceland or hike the Scottish Highlands, that’s a decision that you can make. There’s no worrying about who’s afraid of heights or who can make the hike. These decisions are all about you and your partner, and what you want to do with your big day.
