Welcome to the journal. We are a married photo + video team in Georgia, but always have our bags packed. Utah + Romania are 2 of our favorite places. You can find us any given day playing with our pup, doing something crazy, or enjoying a local beer.
An elopement is an intimate, small, non-traditional way of tying the knot. You can head to the mountains or travel the world to find the perfect spot for you and your person. The location, new friends you make along the way, and the stories to be told of your day are what will capsulate the start to a new chapter. In general, elopements are a more affordable alternatives for full weddings because the cost is centered on your location, photographer, and a few other miscellaneous fees.
While a traditional wedding is focused more on the guest list, the food served at the reception, and the location itself an elopement is focused more on the intimacy between the two, which we personally are in favor of. An elopement day is a full day, weekend, or full week just about you, not the party you are throwing for your people.
The reasons to elope are endless. Let’s break down just a few of our favorite reasons couples choose to elope.
I could go on, but I’ll stop here for now. Does this sound like you? If so, you are in the right place!
At this point, eloping is looking right for you, so where do we go from here? Let’s start dreaming a bit.
What location are you thinking? Are you beach, international, mountains, or national park? A world of possibilities for your day.
What time of year is best for you? This might vary based on your location, but you can also think about time of year preference.
Will it just be you two? An officiant? A photographer? Videographer? Parents? Siblings? Friends? Planner? Contrary to what you might think, elopements can be as big or little as you want. The average elopement guest count is 2-20 people.
Grab your vendors? Who do you want capturing your day? Do you want florals? Will there be food and drink catered or will you hit up a local restaurant at the end?
Once you get this far, you are golden! Most elopement focused vendors (especially photographers and planners) will walk you step by step, making it truly easy peasy, lemon squeasy.
Since you are still here with us, we have a sweet treat for you! We have created our own resources for couples planning their dream elopement that covers location guides to budget tracking. It’ll all simple, easy to use, and FREE (maybe the best part). You can grab it here!
