The Blog
Location guides, real elopement days, and everything you need to plan yours — written by someone who’s been there.
Everything here was written for couples who are figuring this out for the first time.
These posts exist because planning an elopement from scratch is hard — and most of the information out there is either too generic to be useful or written to sell you something. I write about the locations I know deeply, the days I’ve documented, and the things couples wish someone had told them before they started planning.
