So you decided you want to elope, but now what? There are so many gorgeous National Parks here in the United States to choose from and narrowing them down isn’t particularly easy. Don’t fret, I’m here to help ya! Some things to take into account are location, landscape, weather, and accessibility.  National Park landscapes are unmatched in beauty, which is exactly why they are protected and cherished areas. Beaches, mountains, deserts, cliffs, and literally ANYTHING your heart desires, there is a location to match. Let’s break it all down and talk about what to consider when picking the best National Park for your elopement.

There are some people that you just automatically connect with. Nick and Haley are some of those people. From the get go I felt like I had known them forever and knew that even afterwards we would be friends.

An elopement is so much more than an all day photo shoot or an exchange of vows, it’s an entire experience. The experience is only for you, so creating a true-for-you-day should be the foundation of everything in detail! People think that as a photographer, I’m just there to snap the photos, but I’m invested in every couple’s day as a whole and will do everything in my power to help make the day as special as you envisioned. It’s easy to get caught up in the looks of things and obvious elements of planning a wedding. Today, I’m going to share with you the little things that are often overlooked, from small details to unique experiences to make the most out of your elopement!

When you make your elopement day unapologetically you, you end up with a day full of stress free fun and lots of laughter. I don’t think they stopped laughing the entire afternoon!

Nicole and Ryan reached out to me in late October about eloping in the Florida Keys the following month, November. Their plans were to fly into Fort Lauderdale and drive down (which I highly recommend, the drive is beautiful!). Originally they were supposed to have their elopement ceremony in August in Alaska where they live and where Nicole has her own dog grooming business (if you want to check her out you can HERE!), but with trying to coordinate families and COIVD on top of that they put it off and booked flights to Florida!
