Why elope?
couples are choosing elopements over traditional weddings
I truly believe eloping is the best way of getting married. The wedding industry has commercialized marriage. But weddings should get back to basics, they've become more about the decorations, impressive venues, party buses, & family. But what they should really be about is you as a couple. That's why more & more couples are choosing to elope. Elopements are simple & beautiful & are all about you, the couple.

Some of my favorite elopement locations
ideas for your elopement
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Glacier is known for it's colorful mountains, beautiful water features, & stunning views along high alpine meadows & cliffsides. You are also likely to see a bear or a moose, or have a mountain goat photo bomb you.
ARCHES IN UTAH
Arches has many unique features like the arches it is named after. It's the perfect desert elopement location that doesn't get as hot as other places. And it's close to the awesome little town of Moab.
YOSEMITE
Yosemite has become very popular within the las few years. But it is still possible to find more secluded locations with great views of El Capitan & Half Dome. It's popular for a reason!
THE BADLANDS
A bit underrated, this park is closer to the midwest. Full of colorful, rocky formations, it doesn't get as many tourists & many remote locations are easily accessible.
GRAND CANYON
The Grand Canyon is so vast & you've got to see a sunset there at least once in your life! There are so many different views & angles. It's also large enough that if you know the right areas you can avoid the crowds.

don't be afraid to be different
When couples choose to elope for whatever reason, I know it is a deeply personal decision & I know you won't regret it! Don't limit yourself to what you think the marriage & wedding traditions are. Break all the rules! Get married in a black dress, skip the church wedding, have a wild bouquet, get your dog to be your ring bearer, & say your vows anywhere!
