An adventure elopement is about choosing experience over expectations. Instead of following a traditional wedding timeline or checklist, it’s about celebrating your relationship in a way that actually feels like you. That might mean exchanging vows on a mountain trail, along the coast at sunrise, in the middle of the desert, or somewhere completely off the beaten path — wherever feels most aligned with your story.

At its core, an adventure elopement strips away the pressure and replaces it with intention. There’s no need to rush from one event to the next or perform for a crowd. It’s about slowing down, being present, and creating space for real connection. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small group of your closest people, adventure elopements are designed to feel personal, meaningful, and unhurried.

One of the things I love most about adventure elopements is the freedom they offer. You’re not confined to a rigid schedule or a single location. You can hike, explore, take breaks, laugh when things don’t go exactly as planned, and let the day unfold naturally. Those in-between moments — the quiet nerves, the deep breaths, the “are we really doing this?” smiles — are often the ones that end up meaning the most.

As an adventure elopement photographer and videograpehr based in New England and available worldwide, I work with couples who want their day to feel like an experience, not a production. Some couples are drawn to wild landscapes close to home, while others are dreaming of a destination adventure somewhere far away. Either way, an adventure elopement gives you the freedom to create a day that reflects your relationship honestly and intentionally — without trying to fit into someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like.

From planning locations and timelines to embracing weather changes and last-minute pivots, adventure elopements are about being open to the journey. And that’s where the magic really happens. You’re not just getting married — you’re choosing an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your lives.
