At its core, your elopement day is about exchanging vows and rings with your partner and making promises to each other. But it can be so much more than that! If you are eloping, especially far from home, you’ll have an entire day to fill with activities for you and your partner to celebrate the occasion. Choosing what activities to do can seem overwhelming, so I’ve created this guide to help my couples choose the perfect activities to fill up their elopement day!

Paige was a past bride of mine, so when she reached out about a maternity session I was so excited! It was so great to catch up and document the next stage of her and Jake’s life together!

Danielle & Matt’s wedding at Terrain was absolutely stunning! Terrain at Styer’s has become one of my favorite venues and I’m always so excited to go back there. I knew their day would be perfect, and it didn’t disappoint!

Grooms – don’t forget to enjoy your special moments as you approach your wedding day! Picking out your elopement day attire can and should be an exciting activity.

This anniversary session with Jes and Chris in the Finger Lakes was so cozy and romantic! I love photographing couples at all different stages of life and seeing the love that these two have built over the past 15 years was incredible. You don’t need a special occasion to capture some beautiful memories with your partner!

Courtney and Alec are such a sweet couple! After having so much fun with them and their dog Ollie for their engagement session at Wissahickon Park, I was looking forward to their wedding day and it didn’t disappoint!

Picking out your wedding attire is such a special part of wedding planning, and that’s true for elopements too! Trying on wedding dresses, especially if you choose to include friends and family, can be an incredibly emotional step in preparing for your wedding. After all, it’s the day that you should feel the most beautiful you ever have! Whether that means wearing a long, flowing gown, or something more simple, it’s important that your wedding dress reflects your personality and makes you feel amazing.
