Hold onto your hats, because B and M just redefined sunrise elopement goals in the most epic way possible!

Imagine this: getting ready in the dark before having your first look by the light from the hotel windows. The sun, still rubbing the sleep from its eyes (and we were too!), witnessed B and M exchanging vows at the front of the sailboat off the dazzling shores of Key West. As the sunbeams danced on the water, these two sealed the deal and then dove face-first (literally!) into the sweetest cake I’ve ever seen on a boat. And the adventure didn’t stop there! B surprised M with a moped – the key to unlocking a day of true exploration and their awesome ride to the Hemingway House.

Choosing each other, choosing a one-of-a-kind adventure, and choosing to keep this experience special between just the two of you is an easy “yes”. Don’t let fear or other people’s reactions make you doubt your choice to elope—or even worse—turn it into a “no”! It takes a special kind of person to get married this way, because it is equal parts brave and beautiful. You’re doing something different and although your friends and family may not understand at first, they’ll come around. The good news is, you don’t have to navigate these weird waters alone. I’ve got you! 

It was a weekday morning in downtown San Francisco. The two lovebirds, after years of dating, were finally taking a huge leap toward marriage and starting a life together!

They showed up at City Hall, the iconic Beaux-Arts building, to tie the knot in a sweet and simple wedding. They were surrounded by nothing but love. What started off as a typical weekday morning, slowly turned into a very special day. And with it being a weekday morning it was quite as can be in this typically bustling building.

When A + B decided to elope to Wyoming, they knew it was going to be an unforgettable experience.

The couple along with their daughter arrived in Jackson Hole and were immediately taken by the picturesque winter wonderland. The snow had blanketed the area and the Grand Tetons were a breathtaking backdrop, which was B’s number one ask…snow capped mountains.

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!

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.

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!

It’s probably safe to assume that if you’re looking to elope outdoors you care about the preservation of nature. You know to respect wildlife and your surroundings, but what else? I’m happy to report that it doesn’t take much more than awareness and educated choices to have an environmentally conscious elopement! There are simple switches you can implement and basic guidelines that can minimize your impact on the area you’re choosing to say “I do”. Truly, you can have the wedding of your dreams, at a once-in-a-lifetime destination, all while feeling empowered and proud of your decisions to make it a reality.
