So big party or small gathering, if you are someone who values EXPERIENCE, FREEDOM and CHOICES, you're already in the right place. Now we just have to figure out what kind of experience is for you!
So wait, what's this Elopement thing?
There are still a lot of misconceptions around the what elopements are but I'm here to tell you that they are NOT secretive, NOT restrictive, and NOT sad and lonely. A lot of people still mistakenly think to elope means to run away and do it all alone (when you don't want to) or to "not make a big deal" of their day but it's EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE! Elopements are trendy, they're gorgeous, they're fun. and they're taking the industry by storm.
Couples who elope do so because they're just not into the "Big Wedding Thing" and that's okay. They do it because they want to spend their wedding day differently than one might on a wedding day. Maybe to them it sounds awesome to go hiking, or on a trip to Italy, or on a hot air balloon ride. Not the outdoorsy type? Maybe you wanna hit all your favorite neighborhood spots and keep it low key because you're just not into all the attention and all the high energy needed to entertain a large crowd. They do it because they don't mind investing in their day, but they want to invest in it a way that is meaningful to them. They do it because going down the path of a traditional wedding, when they think of that day? They don't get excited, they get bored, or they dread it, or feel really anxious. If any of that sounds like you, you might be an elopement couple! But the thing to realize it that it's not a consolation prize, it is still the day you MARRY each other, the day you will say vows to your best friend, and the day you will remember on your anniversary each year. It is YOUR WEDDING DAY.

The Person Behind The Lens
There is no 'Redo' on your wedding day
Hire a professional
You can't redo your wedding day and who you hire to document it is a big deal. Cameras has become so affordable that it seems every other friend's cousin is now a "photographer." But here's what I learned the hard way, at the beginning, when I shot for free. You make mistakes when you're learning (we all did,) your gear malfunctions (and you don't have back-up gear yet,) and weddings & elopements, hell, they just throw curve balls at you! Nothing can replace experience. Don't hire someone who does this as a hobby. Hire a professional.
