LET'S PLAN YOUR
ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT
DESTINATION ELOPEMENT PACKAGES, PRICING, AND INFORMATION
Zion National Park, Utah
Are you a couple who...
Wants to spend their wedding day together
Wants to invest their time, money, and energy in an amazing experience for YOU
Doesn't like being in the spotlight
Doesn't want the stress or drama that can come from planning a large-scale event
Loves to travel, adventure, and share new experiences together
If you gave a resounding "YES" in your head to any or all of these answers...
Keep Scrolling!
Because YOU DESERVE to be happy on your wedding day, the entire day! Not just when the dance floor opens and you can finally breathe and have fun because everything else is done.
The day you get married should be about the two of you. Period. It should resemble who you are as a couple. It should allow you to be fully present with the person you're marrying. And it should be filled with happy memories that you experienced together.
And elopements allow you to DREAM BIG
Close your eyes and imagine what the best day looks like! What would you do from the moment you woke up? What would you eat or drink, what views do you see, what fun things are you doing? Now imagine doing that with your partner for life on the day that you commit yourselves to one another!
Sounds pretty great, right? I agree.
So right now - turn to your partner, call them or text them and say...
"LET'S ELOPE!"
Phew! Bet that felt good! But now come the questions...
The good news is that you're right where you need to be at this moment! Because...
This is where elopement couples come to start planning their perfect day!
Wild North Weddings provides couples with both documentation of your wedding day and helps you create the best possible wedding experience from beginning to end.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How Does the Process Work?​
​
​1.) Let's Be Friends
Schedule your complimentary consultation and we'll set up a phone call or video chat where I get to know more about the two of you! We'll discuss your vision, scheduling, location ideas, and any questions you have.
​
2.) Make it Official!
Once you've chosen a date, we'll sign the contract, pay the retainer, and start looking for your perfect destination!
​
3.) Nailing Down the Details
I'll send my planning guide loaded with information, how-tos, and helpful tips & tricks! I'll also send a questionnaire for the two of you to go over that will help me scout out the best locations for your wedding destination. I will research permits & laws to make sure we're doing things the right way, and share vendor recommendations for any other you'd like to hire. You'll book your vendors and fill out the necessary paperwork and permits yourselves, but I'll handle any and all travel for myself, with the exception of on-site excursions. If you want to enjoy any other activities that day, I can help you put those plans into action as well. We'll chat throughout the period before your big day arrives to put together a plan and ensure that everything will go as smoothly as possible.
​
4.) Get Married!
It's here! All of the plans we put together to make the day an experience to remember will pay off because your best day ever has arrived. It's time to mentally unwind, focus on being fully present with the person you're marrying, and commit yourselves to each other for life.
​
What do we do for 8 hours during an elopement?
Don't worry - this definitely isn't a whole day of posing for photos. This is you having the best day ever I'm just there to document it! You'll share new experiences, see new things, get married, and celebrate all within that time. It actually goes by pretty quickly, especially when you're including things like hiking, ATV rides, kayaking, pub hopping, fireside celebrations, helicopter rides, and exploring new locations.
​
How far in advance should we expect to book?
I've helped couples plan elopements from 2 years out all the way to 2 weeks out! But most couples book around 6-9 months away from the wedding day so that we have enough time to obtain the necessary permits, score a dress, and find travel accommodations.
​
Can we bring our family, friends, or pets?
Absolutely! More often than not, I'm photographing elopements that have a few guests to help share the day with the couple. But my advice - only bring guests with you if that's what YOU want and if they'll contribute to your happiness that day, not take away from it. If you don't think that will be the case, think about including them in other ways! I have plenty of ideas to share that will help them feel included without being physically present.
As far as pets - I love meeting new furry friends! But if you're bringing them along with you on the trails, I ask that they be leashed and recommend having someone else with us that can handle them so it's not something you'll need to worry about when they get tired, bored, or uncomfortable in their environment.
