“What the heck are we supposed to do on an all-day elopement?”

I get this question about eloping in Colorado all the time. An all-day elopement sounds wild, right? I mean, what’s there to an elopement other than saying vows?

Actually, a lot:

You may not be having a traditional wedding, but you can totally go big with your elopement. The best part? You don’t have to do it for anyone else but you.

Forget about blowing a ton of cash on a big venue, gifts, endless booze, and catering for a crowd. Instead, make it epic in your own style! Maybe that’s treating yourself to a private chef, hopping in a helicopter to a glacier, hiking through stunning meadows, or just celebrating with your favorite people.

The best part? It’s all about making your day uniquely yours, filled with the things you really care about.

Here’s why I’m all about that full-day shoot:

• It tells the entire story.

• It allows friends and family to relive the magic, even if they couldn’t be there.

• It’s your ultimate keepsake for when the day is over and the memories fade.

• It captures every part of your adventure, not just the ceremony.

What’s there to do aside from the ceremony?

Okay, so forget about what a traditional wedding looks like and ask yourself this:

If you two could plan the most epic day together, from sun up to sun down, what would it look like?

• Where would you spend the day?

• Where would you wake up?

• What would you experience and see?

• What adventures would you do together?

• What would you eat?

• What experience would make the most impactful memories?

• What would make your love feel the most celebrated?
