6 Reasons to Elope or have a Small, Intimate Wedding in BC (with your Kamloops Photographer)
Deciding on the type of wedding you want can be a difficult task — there’s so many things to consider. For those couples who are thinking of making their wedding day about them, their love story, and nothing else, this is your sign to GO FOR IT! Here are 6 reasons to pull the trigger on the elopement of your dreams.
YOU CAN BE COMPLETELY PRESENT
Not only are you surrounded by your closest family & friends, but you have the time and energy to appreciate each and every one of your guests.
Want to enjoy a meal family-style at one big table together? Take a photo with every single guest in attendance? Eloping or having a small and intimate wedding allows you to feel less pressure on your wedding day; that feeling of needing everything to be perfect and to go exactly as planned can be forgotten when you are surrounded only by people who truly know & love you, meaning you can focus on soaking in all the love & making memories that will last forever.
THE VENUE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS
Having a small wedding opens to the doors to ENDLESS possibilities for venue choices. My favourite elopements are those that are surrounded by nature. Whether it’s a mountain top via helicopter, deep in the BC forest, or on the shores of the West Coast, I would absolutely love to join you. Then imagine a brewery, café, or backyard reception with a few of the most important people in your life who are there to celebrate your journey together — it sounds so dang lovely!
IT SAVES YOU MONEY
Let's be real: weddings are expensive! A smaller guest count means there can be a little more room in your budget to have the wedding of your dreams. Meals, accommodations, venues, vendors, you name it; eliminate the financial stress of a large traditional wedding, and have your wedding day be about YOU and the journey that brought you to one another.
YOU CAN DO THINGS YOUR WAY
Let’s toss tradition out the window. Imagine waking up together on the morning of your wedding day, making waffles, sharing your private vows between quiet little moments, dancing to your song alone in the kitchen — just the two of you. Elopements are PERFECT for capturing those little in-between moments that you may not think about. Maybe you are unconventional, adventurous, and want to explore somewhere new. Whether that’s a new city, new province/state, or a new country; when it is just the two of you, there is so much more flexibility for choosing the location for your wedding.
INTIMACY
For some couples, their elopements/intimate weddings are all about intimacy. Spending the day with just you and a few of your closest friends and family, celebrating your love, because that’s what it’s all about. Plus, you can feel more comfortable being intimate when there’s not 200 people around — it’s just you, me, and my camera to capture the most intimate and special moments throughout your day.
YOU WANT THIS DAY TO BE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LOVE — THAT’S IT
Allow yourselves to focus on YOUR relationship, YOUR wants, and YOUR dreams. You're never going to please everyone (and why should you?) Why not go all in on yourselves, skip the fuss & have the elopement of your dreams?
Want to hop in a helicopter and get married on a mountain top? I'm in! Would you rather frolic along the coast of Tofino & shove pizza in your faces? I’ll be there.
