Waking up early to watch the sun rise from a desert landscape is one of the most magical experiences a couple can have. And when it comes to a romantic elopement among the stunningly unique Joshua Trees, you know it’s going to be a day to remember!

It’s been a dream of J + H’s for years – to elope to Joshua Tree National Park and exchange their vows at sunrise! Early last year, we made the dream a reality!

Why elope in Greece? I think the better question is…why not? The remarkable history, mouth-water cuisine, breathtaking architecture, and the incredible Mediterranean climate. And the vibrant yet laid-back culture. AND  its drop-dead-gorgeous scenery—I mean the list is never ending. It’s the perfect place for couples that want an experience-filled adventure, but also for lovers simply craving a quiet, luxurious escape. Greece’s ethereal energy makes it a truly romantic elopement destination.

There are few couples in this world that I would be willing to do 2 weddings in one weekend for (let alone the same day!), but R + C are one of those couples.

When you think of eloping, you usually think of a beach or a mountaintop. But why not a city? Dublin, Ireland is the perfect urban destination for a couples elopement.

The charming cobblestone streets and classic architecture make for a romantic, timeless backdrop. Plus, there are plenty of places to explore around the city. From the Guinness Storehouse to the National Gallery of Ireland, there’s something for everyone!

Okay you’ve decided to elope abroad, now all you have to do is plan the most epic day(s) of your lives! As amazing and fun as eloping sounds (which it will be) making your dreams a reality comes with its own unique set of challenges. The where, when, with who, and how of it all. Luckily, I’ve been around the elopement block and globe a few times. I want to help couples, like you, navigate planning with ease and direction through 6 easy steps. 

If you’re looking for a unique and romantic way to tie the knot, then look no further than the Santa Monica Pier in Southern California. Last spring, one couple decided to exchange their vows at this iconic location, surrounded by the beautiful Pacific Ocean and the stunning backdrop of the California coastline.

Introducing the Weisers! J and J’s wedding was a day that they will remember forever and it was such an incredible start to their marriage! From the sentimental moments and details to the exciting energy from their wedding party, the day was one for the books. 

I met D and D two summers ago in when I was roadtripping from Seattle, Washington to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We connected back then and I did photos for their sweet family (and it was significantly warmer!).

Overcast days are some of my favorites. It is less bright outside which = no squinty eyes, it creates soft light on your skin, and it seems that there are less people out and about! And that is exactly what we got during this week day session near San Francisco with D + M. We could not have asked for better weather. The clouds made it moody and the weather was the perfect temperature.

My time with R + L was short, but so full! We started the afternoon with getting ready at the AirBnB where Marla came to do L’s hair and makeup. We got to sit around, chat and hear R + L’s story!
