This planning process can be different for eveyeine as every elopement is different and unique.  If you feel lost feel free to download our Complete Planning Guide. 

Our Guide goes into great detail so heres a bit about what is included to help you two.
  • How do we know how much Photo coverage we will need?
    That's something we can help you figure out on our first Elopement consulation call. Think of it this way, if traditional weddings have at least 8 hours of coverage why should you get any less? This isn't a day of compromise, it's a day focused soley on you two and what makes you feel celebrated. So why not document the entire adventure for you to look back on and be able to share with your loved ones. Let's set up a call and talk about it!
  • Can I bring family & friends?
    Of course! As long as they are there to celbrate you two and keep all the focus on you then YES bring them along and have them surround you two with love and support. Don't forget to bring you pup!
  • What happens with bad weather or natural disaster?
    Some rain or fog will add for some epic adventures and an even more epic wedding day story. However, we always have a back up plan with a new location on hand for us to switch to. Elopements are perfect for making a last minute choice and fly where the wind takes us. We have our plan B or we can embrace the adventure ahead of us.
  • How do we hike in our wedding attire?
    You don't have to hike out 5 miles to have an adventurous elopement. In fact, we don't have to hike out at all. If that isn't something you want to do it's not a requirment for you adventure. Some couples love to hike and we encourage it, however you don't need to hike in your wedding attire at all. Most of the time we hike out in comfortable clothes and then change at the location. We'll head back in wedding attire to capture some more awesome photos along the way of your dress flowing in the wind. You can even change back into your hiking clothes and wait to change again when you get back to the car or basecamp.
