Picture this: You’re listening to your partner say their vows to you in the most perfect location, views all around, you feel incredible in how your day has unfolded, and you get to look down and give your dog an ear or chin scratch as you listen to their words of love. If that sounds like the perfect wedding, this is a blog post for you.

Including your dog in your elopement day is an AMAZING idea, and doesn’t have to be as difficult as you might think! Eloping with your pup isn't just about including your furry family member (though, let's be real, those puppy dog eyes deserve a front-row seat to your vows). It can also add a layer of fun, adventure, and unique memories to your day.

In the last 5 or so years, the definition of eloping has vastly shifted to something WAY cooler than secretly running away to Las Vegas to get married in front of Elvis without your family. Even though you could still do that, I think everyone agrees the new kind of eloping is so much more personal and filled with joy (and leaves out a lot of stress!).

Choosing to elope by yourselves is a HUGE decision, and sometimes it’s super easy and all you’ve ever dreamed of. But for some couples, it’s going to be SO hard to get married to their favorite person without their other favorite people there like parents, besties, siblings, and other loved ones. And that’s why I’m here! To show you how to bridge that gap and include your friends and family in your elopement without them being physically present.

One of *THE* most common questions I get from my couples is “how do I hike in my wedding dress?”. It’s totally valid - most people haven’t ever hiked in dress clothes, let alone a dress on their actual wedding day! And that’s where I come in. I’ve helped dozens of people plan the logistics of hiking in their wedding dress, and that’s what this blog post is all about!

Whether you’re thinking about eloping, aren’t sure whats feasible on an elopement day, or you’re ready to elope and are considering last minute logistics, this info is going to help you have the best, most comfortable day (with amazing photos to document it all!).

So you’ve made the decision to elope with just the two of you. Hell yeah, friend! Now, what about the ceremony? In this guide, I’ll break down the steps to create a laid-back, totally you, and officiant-free ceremony that screams “us.”

If you’re here, you’re probably trying to get a feel for Washington’s climate, including what to expect when it comes to temperatures, snow and rain, being in the mountains in the winter months, and just generally get an idea of when is going to be the best month to elope in Washington. I’m here to share tips about making decisions, areas that are more tricky to plan for, mountain passes that close and when they typically open, where to find webcams that will show you a live feed of the weather, and suggest places to elope that are accessible all year round. Listen- I’ve got you!! There are a ton of weather anomalies out here that you wouldn’t know if you didn’t live here, and probably wouldn’t think to ask! I’m here to answer your questions and hopefully help you to narrow down exactly what month of the year to elope in the beautiful state of Washington.

If you’ve landed on this blog post, you’re probably weighing out the options of eloping versus having a larger, traditional wedding. And let me tell you this: you’re in the right place!

I’m going to break down what you could be spending on your elopement if you choose to wed in Washington and what costs are fixed vs. what costs are pretty variable depending on how you want your day to go.

Have you ever wondered how you could spend your elopement day aside from the ceremony? Some people might think eloping is only an hour or two long and then the fun is over and done with. I’m here to tell you that doesn’t have to be the case! This is your day after all, and you get to call 100% of the shots. This blog is for all the couples out there planning an elopement who just feel like something is lacking and want to make their elopement truly unforgettable and memorable.
