“We were stressing ourselves out trying to plan a big wedding, then we had our first phone call with Mari…

and I felt a sense of peace with our decision to elope.”

•
That really is the biggest compliment I’ve gotten but if peace is what you’re feeling when you’re thinking about all the possibilities in eloping, that really isn’t me at all.
•
That’s all you!

Late night thoughts from your Filipino elopement photographer who grew up following the rules without asking any questions just to find out that there are no rules.
•
And ever since I figured all of that out, my life has changed immensely. Because nobody’s going to stop me from doing exactly what I want, and more importantly, nobody’s going to make me do things I don’t want to do.
•
And in case you’re in the throes of wedding planning which can include familial conflict, a gap between budget expectations and actual expenses, or the feeling of needing to make everyone happy - I’m just here to tell you none of this is required to have a beautiful wedding.
•
Just you, your lover, and time spent doing exactly what the hell feels like you - not what your Auntie Baby wants or what your dad thinks you should do even though he’s not funding it.
•
You are not beholden to rules for your wedding. Some people might make you feel that way, but it’s simply not true.

A + M made these moments, specifically for them. Not because it’s trendy to elope in Yosemite but because they visit it often. It’s a magical place that they both love and frequent.
•
Yosemite has accessible beauty for A who isn’t much into hiking but loves good sights. And mountain man M, well, he’s happy anywhere in the forest, but especially with his beautiful wife.
•
So they chose this place to take in all day, to go slow, to move in love, because it’s meaningful.

You’re engaged. Deep breath. Before the group chats explode and Pinterest starts whispering in your ear, remember this:
1. Pause. Ask each other what actually feels like you. Not what looks impressive. Not what keeps peace. What feels honest.
2. Redefine “wedding.” Eloping isn’t just a courthouse and a quick photo. It can be a mountaintop at sunrise, a desert vow exchange, a coastal cliff with wind stealing your veil. It can be a multi-day honeymoon like experience.
3. Protect your energy. You don’t owe anyone a plus-one, a seating chart, or access to your most intimate moment.
4. Spend with intention. Invest in memories, travel, art, food, photography — not just one loud party that blurs by.
5. Choose yourselves. That’s the flex. Starting a marriage by honoring your joy over expectations? That’s power. That’s alignment. That’s grown love.

Your wedding doesn’t have to be big. It has to be yours.

Wind in your hair. Boots on cliff edges. Your love loud enough to echo off canyon walls.

This is what happens when you stop performing and start living.

When your wedding day feels like an adventure documentary starring you.

When the only timeline that matters is the sun setting behind the mountains.

Wind-blown veils. Champagne popping at 6,000 feet. Me sprinting with two cameras and a backpack like a feral mountain auntie.

If your social battery doesn’t allow for a big guest list, you’d like to spend more money on a honeymoon with a ceremony in it than a one day big wedding, and you hate attention anyway, welcome home, lovers.

We talk a lot about all the things that your elopement should be, but a lot of the time the thing that is just as important is what it shouldn’t be.
•
So if you’re feeling like a traditional wedding isn’t quite your thing and eloping feels like a lesser celebration, it doesn’t have to be.
•
The best way to celebrate your elopement is by starting with the two most important people in this process, and that’s you two!

There’s really no right answer to this. You can literally do anything.
•
I tell every couple to do exactly what would be fun for them. And though that may sound so loaded, it really forces them to think about structuring their day(s) without the pressure of thinking about what they should do.
•
Because the only thing you SHOULD be doing to celebrate is having the time of your life.

The couples who have the best elopements are the ones who aren’t planning a photo shoot at all. Rather they’re planning a day of intentional quality time with a photographer in tow.
•
A do anything without being bothered, being catered to, things appearing like magic, your very own soundtrack kinda day (or days).
•
What would you do on a day created just for the two of you?

I wouldn’t believe this is real if I hadn’t taken it myself.
•
We all stood under this crazy sky in awe at what the evening brought us.
•
Desert sunsets are just magic.
