Four years ago, my husband and I got married the way most people do. We had a big wedding, our guest list was way longer than we wanted it to be (why did I have to hug so many strangers?), and the experience was stressful. The entire day was a blur, and honestly, there was little time to actually connect with each other. As outdoorsy introverts, we found the traditional wedding experience draining.
My wedding made me realize there had to be a better way to get married. With that in mind, I began to incorporate my love of hiking, the mountains, and photography into the wedding space. Now, I help couples ditch the big wedding and go elope in the places that make them feel alive.
Here’s some inspiration that may make you think about ditching the big wedding for something adventurous.

As I transitioned into helping couples plan elopements, I found that there's a unique joy in assisting them to marry in ways that truly resonate with their personalities. This approach not only reduces stress but also centers the entire experience on their love and connection.
If you ever considered escaping the traditional route, you might find that re-imagining your wedding day in nature offers a refreshing perspective on what a wedding can be.
