Angela & Chandler had a sweet Oregon elopement with an Idaho reception

This pair was able to plan an elopement long-distance to a place they’d never been just for the adventure. After that it was a Basque-themed reception in Idaho for their friends and family. Don’t miss the bride’s multiple dresses, the adorable photos after the ceremony, and retro details everywhere. Oh, and wait until you hear what happened to their cakes!

Erica & Sean’s peaceful and elegant guests-included elopement

These two cuties were originally torn between a large shindig and a private elopement, but instead settled on an intimate tiny wedding with a few of their nearest and dearest. Plus, they introduced Indian food to a few newbies, which is always worthwhile. But the best part of all was their ceremony. Take a peek at their special reading and awesome ring vows.

Spy the fashion, Pakistani food, and mini grand piano at Vrinda & Michael’s giggly elopement

We heart elopements, especially when everything seems to just come together serendipitously, like the cake shop next door to the massage place you’re at. This sweet and tiny elopement has everything you’d want: fabulous fashion and jewels, delicious Pakistani food, and even a mini grand piano that came from a convo only a week into their dating!

Just the two of us: Erin & Caleb’s intimate courthouse elopement

I have a soft spot for elopements anyway, but when one is written as beautifully as this one, you know it’s going to catch me right in the feels. Get ready to experience some serious intimacy, serious love, and a seriously fun photo shoot in the Denver snow. These two crossed some major hurdles to get to this day and boy was it worth it.
