Your epic adventure elopement experience
What is an adventure elopement?
To define an adventure elopement, let's first define an elopement.
Elopement: An intentional experience to celebrate the love between two people in a non-traditional wedding where the couple chooses what they want to do instead of adhering to someone else's wishes
Adventure elopement: Take the definition of an elopement up one notch, or two, or more. This is more than your courthouse elopement. This is taking your intimate wedding outside and experiencing the world. You can choose to hike or backpack in the social media sense of an adventure. But you can also choose a chill or extreme adventure, such as picnic on the beach or taking a helicopter ride to say your vows on top of a mountain.
you don't have to do this alone
I'm not just an elopement photographer
Elopements can have as much or as little of the traditional wedding elements as you wish, but a few things that might stay include your photographer and saying your vows.
It is my goal to be your right-hand gal every step of the way so you don't have to be stressed about anything from planning to day-of to your final photo gallery.
You might feel like you're navigating uncharted territory.
That's normal!
As a local photographer, I'm your "hiking boots on the ground" and can give you first-hand recommendations and knowledge to planning your elopement. You do not have to do this alone! Wedding planning is fun when you're planning your epic adventure elopement instead of a large party for hundreds of people.
Let's dream up your adventure elopement!

What's different when eloping with Cherlyn Eliza?
what it feels like to elope with me
My partner and I had such an incredible experience [...] with Cherlyn. I am a bit camera shy and was a little nervous but Cherlyn gave the perfect amount of direction I needed, and the photos all look so natural! She captured the experience perfectly. As my partner and I scrolled through our gallery, we couldn’t believe that each photo kept getting better! Neither of us could choose a favorite. I would highly recommend Cherlyn for your special day.
