While the word “elopement” might bring up images of couples running off to get married in secret, in recent years the term has expanded to include all sorts of intimate and adventurous wedding ceremonies.

If you’re considering including your family and friends in some aspect of your elopement day, read on for tips to help make sure your day goes off without a hitch.

I met Catherine through another couple of mine, when she was the Maid of Honor in their wedding. I absolutely love working with clients that are recommended by my past couples! The day after their friend’s wedding, Catherine, Colin and I met up again to catch this gorgeous sunset engagement session at Valley Forge National Historic Park, and I’m so in love with how the photos turned out! 

Meredith and Will were one of my Covid couples who were forced to postpone their traditional wedding that was originally supposed to take place in 2020. They ended up exchanging vows in a very intimate ceremony in Cape May, New Jersey and I was fortunate enough to photograph their beautiful day. While I’m so glad that they were able to have an intimate wedding at the time, their big traditional celebration was long-awaited and I’m so glad they got to have the day of their dreams!

Sherley and John are getting married next spring in West Chester, Pennsylvania, but when we were discussing their engagement photos I discovered that they have a passion for travel just like I do! It instantly clicked that I should photograph them discovering a new place together to celebrate their engagement. We ended up deciding to head out to one of my favorite places – Big Sur, California – to shoot this incredible adventure engagement session!

If you and your partner have decided to elope – congrats! That’s a huge step in the planning process and now you can start to imagine what your dream day looks like! You may be confused as to what exactly goes into an elopement day. At the end of the day, your elopement day can look like absolutely anything! Outside of your wedding ceremony, which can be as short or long as you want, the day is completely up to you. That’s the magic of an elopement!
