The Best Places To Elope

Choosing the location of your adventure elopement is the hardest decision you must make. As an elopement photographer, couples always have a hard time with this, and they do not know where to start. When you have so many options, it can get overwhelming.

My advice is to sit down as a couple and start talking about what each of you would prefer. It should be a meaningful place for both. Some couples figure this out quickly, but if you have a hard time, simply close your eyes and picture a relaxing moment.

You get to go anywhere you want. What do you see? A calm and secluded beach, a castle, a private property surrounded by woodland,

a desert, or a lake.

Write down your favorite three landscapes, see which you have and common, and agree on one. Now it is time to go more specific, figure if you want to stay local, go overseas, and learn about the requirements that would imply. Going to a different country where you do not know the language or where a special immigration law will require you to do extra paperwork is considered. Once you weigh in the possibilities, make a list of your top potential locations.

Another big conversation you must have involves money. Every wedding and elopement need to have a realistic budget. There is a common misconception regarding elopements. While they save you some money in comparison with traditional weddings,

you still need to spend.

The main difference is that your money will be spent on the experiences you want. The money you would spend in feeding hundreds can go to anything you want, an extended vacation, the dress of your dreams, a five-star dinner, gear to hike and camp, you name it.

While elopements sound like a dreamy and romantic experience, you need to have a clear idea and realistic expectations about your big day. Research and gather all the necessary information about your location and other couples' experiences. Being informed will allow you to prepare and avoid any inconveniences.

When you know your location, budget, and vision of how you want your elopement to be, it is time to find your photographer. Just like every couple is unique, photographers are too. And there is one photographer destined for each couple. I have plenty of experience, and perhaps you love my work, but we need to meet and see if we are on the same channel. If we get each other and connect,

we can start planning your dreams' elopement together.

Love is a unique emotion, and to capture meaningful photos of such a special moment in your life, I need to understand what love means to you, how you see it and how you express it. I must understand your vision so that each photo I take has a meaning and gets to your heart. You must let me see you as you truly are. If you do, every photo will be memorable and priceless.

Your everyday love is not like an Instagram post. Love is about small gestures, like asking how your day was and listening to it and giving you a hug to comfort you. It is about the complicity you share with a look and how you can tell

if your partner wants to leave a crowded place without saying a word.
