Example elopement days you can build from

From helicopter landings to off-grid cabins and multi-day adventures, we design elopement experiences that feel personal, unhurried, and fully your own.

Every elopement we photograph is built from scratch. But if you’re not sure where to start, these examples will give you a feel for what your day could look like.

Use these past couples experiences as a starting point

Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and we’ll shape it into something that fits you.

A day like this often starts with a flight out over the fjords, landing in places that feel completely untouched. You might explore a couple of different spots before finding somewhere quiet to share your vows, just the two of you.

From there, the day slows down. Time to wander, take it in, and let the moment unfold without feeling rushed.

Land somewhere remote, surrounded by glaciers, with space to take it all in.

All-inclusive days like this typically fall around $10,000–$14,000

• Multiple glacier landings
• Remote ceremony in the wild
• Time to explore and take it all in

After getting ready, you start riding together through open meadows with wide mountain views all around you. There’s no rush, just the steady rhythm of the horses.

You stop along the perfect spot on the river for a quiet ceremony. There is plenty of time to explore, say your vows and makeit back to the trailhead. Dinner and a first dance wait for you in the setting sun ahead.

The day moves through snow-covered spruce forests, led by a team of Alaskan huskies. You might spend time riding through the quiet, then stop somewhere still to take it all in, just the two of you.

As the light fades, the pace slows even more. You jump into a snow machine that takes you to a bonfire to watch the sunset while sipping old fashions and making S'mores.

Real elopement days to take inspiration from

These are actual elopement experiences we’ve photographed.

The day starts getting ready together before heading out for a first look and an easy walk to Taft Point for your ceremony.

After taking in all the views, you make your way into the valley and switch to bikes, cruising between all the best spots without the usual crowds. A champagne toast, a picnic with Half Dome, and then a first dance in the meadows as the sun sets.

A Yosemite elopement - Taft Point to the valley

Skip the traffic, ride through the valley, and turn the whole place into your backdrop.

All-inclusive days like this typically fall around $8,000–$11,000

• Taft Point ceremony
• Exploring Yosemite Valley by bike for photos (and no cars!)
• Picnic, champagne, vows under Half Dome & Yosemite Falls

The day starts on the Salmon River, floating a very scenic and mellow section. A quick picnic, photos, and soaking in the views.

Back in town, you get ready, & head toward the Sawtooths. Whether it’s a short hike or a bike ride, you make your way to Fishhook Creek for a gorgeous ceremony in the mountains. You finish the day with a sunset dance in a meadow below the Sawtooths.
