Imagine the city in the morning: people are taking their pets for walks before work or getting their daily exercise in. There is the quite bustle of activity while the city is waking up.

But you and your partner are doing something a little different: getting ready for your urban adventure elopement.

2 years ago they were supposed to get married in Key West, but we all know how 2020 went. D + K didn’t let that stop them from planning an intimate wedding in 2022!

Now on their 14th anniversary, they made it happen! It wasn’t initially planned that way, but I couldn’t think of a sweeter date for them to get married. We started the day K and the girls getting ready together at their beach rental before heading to the beach.

What if I told you, all the things you’ve been dreaming about your elopement are possible? You can experience a beautiful day full of all the adventure and love you can imagine—it’s just a matter of planning it! We’re going to cover an easy elopement planning step-by-step breakdown, elements you should consider, expert advice, FAQ, and free timeline examples. Together we’ll switch out the overwhelm of planning for the excitement of what’s possible! Sound like a plan? 

Looking to have an experience of a lifetime or simply an oasis to reconnect with your sweetheart for your elopement?  I’ve scoured the globe (and internet) to find the top 10 most gorgeous and totally-utterly-completely underrated destinations for couples to explore in 2023. Whether you want to kayak by a glacier, ride camels through the desert, stay in a castle, or soak in some sunshine on the prettiest beaches in the world—there is the perfect place out there for you and your elopement. Before we can make your elopement day a dream-come-true, we need to figure out the dream. This list has a little bit of EVERYTHING,  so it’s a great place to kickstart your imagination! *drum roll please*  Let’s get into it!

NYC: a city that never sleeps, has amazing food and different stunning architecture at every corner! It is an adventure every time I get the chance to go there and this time was no different.

As micro weddings are becoming more popular it is fun to put together shoots to show all the different possibilities. Along with the incredible team of vendors we brought this California beach micro wedding to life with warm toned glasses on a table surrounded by the natural rock formations, an abundance of baby’s breath and a golden arch.

When D moved to Florida from Hawaii I gained a new friend and I am so glad that I did. T + D are down for anything including running around the beach as the last rays of light dip over the horizon and the sky turns colors of cotton candy.

Have you ever wondered what getting married on a boat would look like? How it would make you feel? Or why it would a unique thing to add to your elopement day?

M + A y’all were a blast! A is a fellow photographer in the area and she was more than willing to help me find the best location for their photos.

We embraced the wind, hiked up to the ski lifts and witnessed beautiful views. It truly couldn’t have been more fun! Thank you M + A for being flexible and showing me what Bozeman has to offer. I had a great time exploring and hanging out with y’all!

When I connected with A + K in April of 2020 they were planning for an intimate wedding of about 40 in the Florida Keys. But as the year went on and COIVD continued they decided to shift their plans. A + K’s guest list became that of 6 of their closest friends.
