how to turn your elopement into a full experience (not just a day)

 
 

Somewhere along the way, elopements got labeled as the “simple” version of a wedding. Less planning, less people, less everything.

But the truth?
Eloping isn’t about doing less.

It’s about doing it your way.

It’s about stripping away everything that doesn’t feel like you and filling that space with things that do.
A slower pace. A wilder landscape. More time to actually feel everything that’s happening.

That’s where the magic lives.

Go Beyond the Day & Create an Experience

Your elopement doesn’t have to fit into a single 2 hour timeline.
It can be a weekend. A few days. A whole damn chapter.

We’ve found that the best photos, the kind that makes you stop mid-scroll and feel something, always comes from time and trust. When there’s space to breathe, explore, get comfortable, and just be yourselves, the photos and film start to look less like “coverage” and more like cinema.

That’s why we love to work with our couples to design multi-day elopement experiences instead of single-day shoots.

Day One: The Connection

Think of this as your soft launch. The warm-up. The day we hang out, explore, and shoot in a way that’s low-key, candid, and organic. You forget about the cameras. We get inspired by the energy between you.

It’s like building rhythm before the music starts.

Day Two: The Elopement

The day you actually say your vows. The heart of it all. By now, the nerves are gone. You’re grounded, fully present, and the whole day feels like one long exhale.

We’re behind the camera looking for the stillness, the laughter, the in-betweens with a cinematic, documentary edge that feels alive.

You’re busy getting married in a place people usually Honeymoon.

Day Three: The Experience

This is where it gets really fun. Book something that reflects the whole vibe of the place you’re in.

  • Horseback riding through at the base of the Tetons in Wyoming

  • riding e-bikes on Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park in Montana

  • take a whale watching cruise in Maine

  • rent a Jeep to do some off roading in the mountains of Colorado

  • book a spa treatment at enchantment in Sedona

  • rent a vintage convertible to spend the afternoon cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway in Big Sur

Whatever you choose, it adds so much depth to your story. Because it’s not just about where you eloped, it’s about how it felt to be there.

Because we’re not just a vendor you hire to show up and shoot.

We’re not here to “cover” your elopement, we’re here to create with you.
We believe the best work comes from trust, connection, and collaboration.
From couples who want to make this more than a quick exchange of vows. Who want a full-body, full-heart experience.

If that’s what you’re after, something artful, honest, and completely your own, we’d love to dream it up with you.
