Getting Ready Elopement

Written By Luis Martinez

The most important day has been set and now we wait in complete excitement. So what comes between now and then? Let me share with you a few things to consider that can make your big day much more memorable.

The Little Moments

This day will pass by so fast, it will all feel like a dream. The moments you will remember, will be the moments where the room goes silent. These moments don’t have to be left to fate. Below are some moments to consider:

  • Writing a letter to each other and reading it the day of

  • Sneaking away together, to have a moment alone

  • A first look

  • A dance in private

  • Private vows

  • A second location

The Details

The small details are what help paint the whole picture. Below are some things to consider bringing.

  • Bouquet

  • Heirloom

  • Vail

  • Bottle of champagne

  • Personalized items (vow booklet, socks, mugs, ring box)

  • Cigars

  • Liquor bottle

Remote Location Essentials

If your elopement will be in a remote location, there are a few things to consider in case they are needed once we are out there.

  • Hiking shoes

  • Rain ponchos

  • Extra pair of sox and clothes

  • Make up

  • Water & snacks

  • Sunscreen

  • Bug spray

  • Blanket

  • Stain remover

  • Towel

Second Location

One of the best parts of an elopement is that you can go anywhere you want. If you are having your ceremony in a courthouse, we can have portraits taken in a separate location. We can get on a call and go over the different location options.

Your Love Story

An elopement is always going to be an adventure. So many things can change, but that is okay. We will always have the most important part. Your love. As long as you bring that, I’ll take care of the rest.
