How to Elope (& Still Have Wedding Pictures!)

Courthouse weddings and Elopements in Philadelphia

You can have beautiful wedding photography, even if you elope.

I hear from lots of couples who want to elope. Many of them are torn. On one hand, they don’t have the budget for a big wedding. Or maybe they do, but they want to have a smaller one. Maybe they want to have it somewhere far, far away. Some couples just don’t see what all the fuss is about with poofy white dresses and wedding party politics and pomp and circumstance.

I’m a romantic at heart, and I love all the drama and grandeur of a big wedding. Still, I completely empathize with couples who don’t. I always say that there’s only thing that my clients and I absolutely must have in common. We should both love beautiful Philadelphia wedding photography! So if you want to run off and get married, in the literal sense, I’m right there with you.

In fact, if elopement is on the table for you, I have the best news. I recently partnered with Creative Eventology to create elopement packages with great options! They make it easy for any couple to have a wedding without all the hassle.

When creating these packages, the Creative Eventology team and I thought, You know what? “Elopement” seems to be fancy way of saying “going without”. It seems to mean that in order to get married on your terms, you’re choosing to sacrifice all the fun stuff.

We decided that there’s no reason for that to be true. Eloping couples should have a ceremony, guests, music, flowers, food, and yes, amazing wedding photography–if that’s what they want. With our elopement packages, you can have all that stuff and still cut back on your budget. You can still pare down your guest list (or eliminate it!) without hurting any feelings. You can do away with all the stress of wedding planning and still have everything you want.

With these packages, you can have your wedding cake and eat it, too!

So what does it mean to elope?

Whatever you want it to mean!

Whatever your reason, for foregoing a big wedding, you can have a ceremony, guests, music, flowers, food, and amazing wedding photography.

Bottom line? Your wedding is yours. It should be whatever you want it to be.

Just know that if beautiful Philadelphia wedding photography is important to you, you can have that, too! Contact me and tell me what I can do to make your big day happen your way.

Elopements can include small, intimate weddings with just your closest family or a city hall private wedding.
