HOW IT WORKS?

What would your wedding day look like if there were no boundaries?

01. Dream up your best day | The first step in any great creative process is the dream and brainstorm. This is where you and your partner explore all the possibilities of what your day could look like without being hindered by details or logistics yet.

02. Make the big decisions | Once you have an overall vision of what you to want out of your day it’s time to make the biggest decisions that will affect your elopement experience the most who you’re inviting where you’re going and how long you’re going for.

Think outside the box have you always envisioned your wedding day being multiple days? Do you wanna include some sort of adventure? Do you want it to be just the two of you? Just keep dreaming…

03. Plan out the details | The next step is to plan out all of your details for your day including booking your travel, a place to stay, choosing your vendors, deciding on activities, picking out your wedding day attire, and gathering any other items or gear you may need.

Your wedding day is about creating a day that’s going to make you feel the most alive, happy, relax, and in love.

How you would celebrate your relationship in the most authentic way forget about any restrictions for a moment and just dream big that’s where you’ll find what speaks most to you, you’ll have time to figure out the details later

Decide on “where”.

We realize that most of you have already chosen a venue by this point. BUT, in the hope of keeping your imagination flowing some more, we are asking you to think outside the box! It’s no secret that a wedding or elopement day goes by in a flash but how can you make those moments with your partner more intimate on the day. How can we incorporate it all! Regardless on “where” we go we will always push you to get out at sunset! (Note: let your planner know to include a 30 minute photo session on your timeline) Sunsets are our favourite times among photographers to take pictures and videos because of the golden lighting and vibrant colours that are caused by the sun being low in the sky. In sunny climates midday sunlight can create harsh under eyeshadows which is why the middle of the day is when I usually recommend doing indoor photos, getting ready photos, travelling, or hiking, doing activities, or hanging out and relaxing.

Videographers will also remind you how important audio is to tell your story so think about this concept when choosing your locations. If choosing a more secluded scenic location to say your vows privately make sure you’re not doing it in front of a waterfall or else you’re videographer won’t be able to capture the audio. You might want to recite your views in the forest first, and then head to the waterfall for the photo session?
