A Skyped elopement in Austin, Texas

Amanda and Jason met on an online dating service, so since they had technology to thank for their meeting, it's not surprising that it became a HUGE part of their elopement. They, their two guests, their officiant, and their photographer (Melanie Grizzel from She-n-He Photography) turned off their cell phones and turned on their cameras. The rest was history: a Skyped elopement.

To say that Amanda is obsessed with owls would be a gross understatement. When Jason proposed to Amanda he rented and wore a gigantic owl costume, and she only knew it was him cause she spotted his shoes underneath. Spoiler alert: She said yes.

When they decided that an elopement was right for them, they found Austin Texas' The Inn at Wild Rose Hall on Offbeat Bride!

Amanda is a DIYer and she made her bouquet, the boutonnieres, and handbags for her and her “bridesmaids.”

She packed them all up into her suitcase and brought them to Austin.
