Do you know what the best thing about eloping is?
That there are no rules. There’s no right or wrong way to do an elopement.
You can just do you. Set your imagination free and say your vows as your authentic self.
You can do whatever you want to do, however you want to do it.
You can embark on the adventure of your lives…
…or crown your love story with the most romantic getaway ever.
Either way, you’ll be with your special person.
And together, you’ll create the perfect experience for you.
But do you know what the worst thing about eloping is?
That there are no rules. No how-to guides to help you and no instruction manuals. Nothing.
You’re on your own to figure out what you want – and how you wanna do it.
I mean, how do you know you’re actually getting the most out of your elopement?
An experience worthy of your lifelong commitment – and not just another vacation?
Well, I’m here to make your elopement a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
So, take my hand and let me guide you…
…to discover the best types of photos you don’t want to miss on your elopement!
1. Romantic Vibes At Golden Hour
Imagine the Sun setting on the horizon…
You might be on top of a crude cliff, lost in the majestic Scottish Highlands…
…or on the dreamy shores of a Greek island, enchanted by the whisper of the sea.
But there you are, holding hands with the love of your life.
Bathing in the warm sunlight, you can’t wait to finally say your vows.
The gentle rays of the setting Sun touch your faces, illuminating your smiles with a soft glow…
Imagine how romantic it would be to live this moment, knowing that it will be captured for you to relive whenever you feel a bit nostalgic.
Sure, you can take romantic photos at exotic locations any time of the day…
But pics taken at golden hour are the most popular romantic shots on social media for a reason!
Not only will the golden glow add to the magic of your pictures. But the lack of sharp contrasts and hard shadows (all traits of midday photos) will make your golden hour shots warmer, smoother, and infinitely more romantic!
Now, golden hour comes twice a day: sunrise and sunset. You could technically aim to catch a sunrise on your elopement for your most romantic pics. But do you really want to get up at 4:00 am? Like, really?
2. Intriguing Lights At Night
…it’s a day you don’t want to end. Sure, you feel exhausted from all the excitement. But still…
You want this night to last forever…
Well, why not make it happen?
Just because the Sun wandered away to bring light to a different part of our beautiful planet, you don’t have to go to bed just yet. Your day doesn’t have to be over…
Instead, grab your favorite person, bring some music and booze, and have some fun in the night! For some incredible photos, make sure to bring a source of light too!
And feel free to get creative here!
Dance together to your favorite song around a bonfire on the beach…
…explore a bare mountain top under a full moon and starry sky…
…or enjoy a glass of champagne with sparklers and candles.
Use your car to backlight the silhouette of your affectionate embrace…
…have fairy lights and lanterns illuminate your passionate kiss…
…or use glow sticks & neon bracelets to, well, do whatever you want.
Just have fun. In the dark. With any source of light. And the love of your life.
And I’ll be there in the background to eternalise your precious moments of pure joy!
3. Lost In Smoke & Fog
Most of your photos are gonna be beautiful, warm, and crystal clear. As they should be.
But imagine adding some mystery & excitement to at least a few of your elopement photos…
I mean, if there was an epic way to make your pics truly one-of-a-kind by giving them a high-energy dramatic look – without editing or photoshop – would you take it?
If your answer is “yes”, then I have one word for you (okay, technically two words).
Smoke bombs.
Just light ‘em up and use them to add a layer of mystery to your romantic photos.
Its foggy effect will guarantee that your smoke bomb photos will be the most unique, the most dramatic, and the most epic photographs from your elopement batch!
Imagine all the adrenaline you’ll feel…
…standing somewhere at your dream destination…
…with your special someone…
…and an ignited smoke bomb in your hands.
It will feel like a dream come true.
And nothing will ever compare to that feeling.
And I’ll make sure your photos look like a scene straight from your dream…
4. Celebration In Class
Champagne is always a good idea.
I mean, let’s face it: it’s probably the most versatile prop you can have for your elopement photoshoot! With just the right amount of fun combined with the perfect amount of elegance, a glass of champagne will elevate almost any photo!
And you can use it for soo many things!
Pop the bottle and spray the champagne on each other or towards the sky…
Pour it into your glass, with the setting sun in the background…
Toast your special someone with it under the fairylights…
Or close your eyes and drink it slowly while dreaming of your shared future…
Just have fun with it.
And I’ll be there to make sure you’ll have some of the classiest & most elegant photos ever.
So even though you’ll be on an adventurous elopement…
…the elegance and style of your photos will rival even the most exquisite weddings!
5. A Special Place In Your Hearts
You chose your destination for a reason…
…and you’ll end up locking it in your hearts forever.
But why did you choose that specific location for your elopement?
Why Scotland, Iceland, Greece or Spain?
Why there – and not somewhere else?
Whatever your answer is…
…make sure to capture it.
Is your “it” is a specific mountain, cliff, bridge, or tree you fell in love with?
Or a sense of awe you feel every time you think of your special place?
Maybe a romantic vibe or atmosphere that you want to experience?
Whatever your “it” is – embrace “it”, enjoy “it”, and immortalize “it”.
Capture “it” in your photos to create memories that last.
So when you open your elopement album a few years down the road…
…you’ll have a nostalgic smile while you relive the most beautiful day of your lives.
With just a few pics, you’ll soar back to your special place all over again.
If you decide to elope, just remember: there are no rules.
No how-to guides or instruction manuals telling you how to have the most beautiful adventure of your lives. You’re free to do what you want.
