Considering an elopement?
Elopements are very different from traditional weddings. While traditional weddings can be for both guest experience and wedding couple experience, elopements are more catered to you as a couple. With an elopement, finding the right photographer or filmmaker can be a little daunting and there is a lot to consider when planning. Here at VBP, we are dedicated to intentional planning and helping you every step of the way.
Planning
This is huge. There is so much to consider when planning an elopement. With me on your side helping you navigate this and the right tools, your elopement day can be an amazing experience. And don't get me wrong, things do happen and they're may be bumps in the road...this is why we will also create a backup plan.
Location
This can be finding a great location that fits your needs as a couple. Whether you're inviting a few family members or it's just the two of you, location is so important. It's also a place that can be significant to you both for years to come or maybe even re-visit year after year. Not only will we narrow down a location, we will narrow down SPECIFICS for that location. If it's a national or state park--are there permits? How far in advance do you need to plan in order to say your "I DO's"? What are the legalities? These are all of the things to navigate together. As your photographer, it is also my responsibility to know these locations and be able to physically step foot in these locations prior to your elopement day if possible. Sometimes, that may not always be the case; however, you want someone who has done plenty of research prior to stepping foot in these locations to know what to anticipate and expect.
My job is to tell your stories and leave an indelible memory over time. I'm here to guide you to the best day of your lives.
Elopements offer a chance to focus on each other without distractions. Whether it's a mountaintop ceremony or a beachside vow exchange, elopements create an intimate and romantic setting.
Say goodbye to convention and hello to personalization. Elopements allow you to create a day that truly reflects your relationship and unique personalities.
Simplify your wedding experience. Elopements are stress-free, allowing you to savor every moment without the pressure of a large guest list.
