What is Adventure Elopement?
So you want to know what an adventure elopement is all about?
Adventure elopements look a little different for every couple, but ultimately it’s the decision of OPPORTUNITY. The opportunity to explore exciting locations. The opportunity to have intimate moments with your significant other. The opportunity to dare to be… DIFFERENT. Couples always ask me the “Why” of adventure elopement.
Why should we elope over traditional ways of getting married?
Why is the adventure worth investing into?
Why should we choose you as our adventure elopement photographer?
And let me just say- I get it. I get that eloping is nontraditional, different, and potentially nerve-wracking because you might not know where to start or what exactly it entails. Previously, eloping has even been stigmatized as being “bad” or “taboo” ways of getting married. The reality of eloping is simply unique to you. Traditional, big weddings can lack the excitement and intimacy that you and your significant other are seeking- wouldn’t you agree?
Let’s address the “Why Not”s of adventure elopement. Think about this- you’ve had Italy or Iceland on your bucket list of places to explore with your partner. You just got engaged and started envisioning how you could include the beautiful landscape of Iceland into your special day. You start to think..
Why NOT choose to experience these exciting new places with someone who can help plan your whole trip, find the most ideal spots, and document every part of your story?
Why NOT invest into the most important event in your life?
Why NOT choose to be different and adventurous when you know you have an incredible story to tell?
Why NOT invest in a photographer who genuinely cares about your experience and connection?
I could go on and on but ultimately, the “why not”s definitely overrule the “why”s in my book. If you’re a couple that loves the outdoors, learning new cultures, traveling, trying new foods, hiking, etc. this is for YOU!!! You are both worthy of an incredible experience that encompasses exactly that, and I cannot wait to create that for you!
One last thing I’d like to mention is that choosing to participate in an adventure elopement doesn’t mean you can’t have “traditional” aspects to your celebration. Maybe this means you have a wedding party, a ring bearer, or have a guardian walking you down the aisle. There’s lots of ways to integrate the best of both worlds for one of the most important events of your lives. As shared above, adventure elopements look a little different for every couple and what they define in their adventure elopement. Most importantly overall, you don’t want to look back and regret not choosing OPPORTUNITY. So the question for you is- are you ready to answer the opportunity that’s been calling your hearts?
