An adventure elopement is a non-traditional wedding focused on the couple's experience in a natural setting. It often involves activities like hiking, skiing, or exploring scenic locations.

Adventure elopements offer a more intimate, personalized, and memorable experience. They are perfect for couples who value experiences over material things and love the outdoors.

You can include family and friends by inviting a small group to join you or by having a reception later.

Here are some creative ideas on how to include your loved ones

Elopements are typically smaller, more intimate, and focused on the couple’s experience, while traditional weddings are larger events with more guests and formalities.

Adventure elopements offer a unique, intimate, and stress-free way to celebrate your love. They focus on the experience, allowing you to create unforgettable memories in beautiful settings.

Consider factors like scenery, accessibility, weather, and personal significance. Research various locations and think about the logistics of getting there. As adventure elopement photographers, we offer a comprehensive location guide in our packages based on your vision, which will help you choose what aligns with your preferences.

Pack essentials such as layered clothing, hiking shoes, personal items (rings, vows, wedding attire), and safety gear (first aid kit, navigation tools, headlamps, offline maps). Don't worry! We'll send you a packing checklist during the planning process.

The cost of an adventure elopement varies depending on factors like location, travel expenses, photography, attire, and any additional activities. Typically, it ranges from $5,000 to $20,000.

Some of the best destinations for nature elopements include national parks, scenic mountain ranges, and remote beaches.
