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.

It’s totally up to you whether or not you want to believe in the Irish folklore of sirens, fairies, and leprechauns—but the overall beauty of Ireland is 100% irrefutable. The sites, culture, people, and scenery are equally wonderful. The country is steeped in a proud history and the phenomenal landscape has inspired musicians, poets, and artists alike. Trust me when I say the rolling hills are even more green in person, the sounds of the waves below the Cliffs of Moher are louder than you can imagine, and being stuck on a country road due to rouge sheep blocking the way isn’t just some made-up movie scenario. It’s almost as if the rest of the world falls away and you’re transported to another, more tranquil place in time. 

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!

Running around the streets of Dublin for the first time with I + I was incredible!

Getting to see somewhere for the first time with my couples is a dream come true and even more so when it is their first time too! Something that only we get to share. Although the streets were busy with on lookers and shop goers we found bits of quite that we could carve out for ourselves on this overcast day.

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.

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.

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?

C + K reached out to me two weeks (yes you read that right!) before wanting to elope in the Florida Keys at the end of July! K mentioned she had been following along with my work since January and had convinced them to make the day unique and an all day adventure! I think we definitely accomplished that and so much more!

Known for the Loch Ness Monster, bagpipes, castles and more; seriously SO MUCH more. Scotland is a remarkable country to elope in, you can explore historic cities and see phenomenal landscapes all in one day. The history of Scotland and the Clans is one of extreme interest, everywhere seems to be steeped in it. There honestly isn’t another place like it in the world and it’s not surprising that lovers of all walks of life are attracted to the cobblestone streets and rolling green mountains. Nearly everything is in close proximity and accessible by bus, train, or car; making the ease of travel a breeze.
