What is an elopement?


E·LOPE

/əˈlōp/ Verb

To have an intentionally intimate, authentic wedding experience where the focus of the day is actually about you two as a couple.


THE MODERN DEFINITION OF  ELOPEMENT


An elopement is an intentionally small, intimate, meaningful, and authentic wedding experience that is a true reflection of your relationship where the focus of the day is really about the two of you.


Think about what the most honest, authentic day would look like to you two — a day you’d want to soak up every single moment of and look back on it for the rest of your life with a smile on your face.
