When we first chatted with these two, we knew we were going to be great friends… and surprise, surprise we are! We couldn’t help but get excited for their day and to finally meet them in person! Their Lake Crescent elopement was absolutely perfect, but we want you to hear it from them: “Look no […]

So, this couple holds a really special place in our hearts! They aren’t the first couple to book us as Venture to Elope, but they were our first intimate wedding of 2021 as a new business! They completely trusted us, and we couldn’t have launched VTE without them and their support. We often hang out […]

Have you ever wondered what sunrise looks like at Mount Rainier? Look no further! Here is one of the most epic sunrise Mt Rainier elopement! We started bright and early at the Paradise Visitor Center on the west side of the mountain. The bride, groom, and a few of their closest friends all made their […]

One of the best fire lookouts with views of Rainier is Mount Fremont. This hike is roughly 5.6 miles roundtrip and is an out and back hike. You gain a bit of elevation along the way, but it’s pretty manageable compared to a lot of the other hikes around Mount Rainier. It begins at the […]

These two have been through so much together to get to this point. They hit a lot of bumps along the way with planning their big day, and ended up driving all the way from Indiana to Washington in just a weekend (instead of flying). When we met up with them at The Enchantments trailhead, […]

One of the best Mount Rainier elopement locations is hands down the fire lookouts! The hikes are usually a bit challenging with steep elevation gains, but the views are always 100% worth it… I think these two will agree! We started their full day adventure with a hike to a small lake in the Mount […]

These two are happily married, but they wanted some epic Big Sur California Coast elopement portraits. Check them out below! Vendor Team Photographer: Venture to Elope HMU: I See Wise Florals: Sweetness & Light Floral Design Dress: Lulus

This beautiful day started way before the sun came up! We met at the parking lot of the Paradise Visitor Center, and began a short hike to a Leave-No-Trace-approved ceremony spot off the trail. This year in the western part of Washington, we only had a few smokey days. But this was one of them! […]

There is truly nothing like desert elopement portraits, especially at Horseshoe Bend. If you’ve never heard of Horseshoe Bend, it’s a horseshoe-shaped bend in the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona. It’s a pretty popular attraction! I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch a sunset here?! And although you totally can elope here, […]

This all day adventure started in the morning at a cute little a-frame cabin near Mount Rainier. The bride got ready in the cabin before Hannah took some wedding boudoir photos. Then, we headed to a trail in the National Park for their ceremony location. The spot was epic! Plus, all of the hikers who […]

We started their afternoon at Tipsoo Lake where we set up their first look on a bridge. Then, we celebrated their marriage on the rocks with views of the lake behind the happy couple! They had two of their closest people their to officiate and celebrate with them. We ended the night at sunset with […]

These two have become some of our closest friends since their winter elopement! They found us on social media, and we just instantly clicked. Hannah took boudoir photos for the bride, we both photographed them with their dog, Apollo, and we got to celebrate their big day with them. We started their day at their […]
