The Redwoods is an absolutely incredible place to visit, let alone elope! It’s so dreamy and whimsical, from the way the sunlight peeks through the leaves to the way the massive trees tower over you.

Hannah met Lexi at a workshop way back in September of 2019. She was part of another photographer’s rep team and she was modeling for the workshop attendees.

Hannah shot this Abiqua Waterfall Adventure Elopement in 2020 before Venture To Elope was born. But of course, Adam came along for the adventure! We got to the top of the road early in the morning. We waited for everyone to arrive and then we all piled into Adam’s old Ford truck and made our […]

An adventure elopement is an intentional, intimate wedding experience that trades tradition for connection. Unlike a big, orchestrated event, it focuses on what truly matters—just the two of you (and maybe a few loved ones), surrounded by nature, doing something you love. Whether it’s saying your vows on a mountaintop, in a forest clearing, or beside a quiet lake, adventure elopements are about crafting a day that feels true to who you are—authentic, meaningful, and wildly your own.
