Do not look this up in the dictionary! I did this and the origin of eloping is rooted in torrid love affairs and secrets from your parents and friends... which, actually, maybe this is your reason! Eloping/to elope means ditching the stress of planning a big wedding and opting for something much smaller and intimate for the two of you (and possibly a few guests)!

First off, that really sucks you had to cancel your big wedding... however we have you covered! Give us an elopement date and we can get rolling with that! We will send you a questionnaire with specific questions to customize your day, then you leave the rest to us! We have you covered from makeup and hair, to florals and cake and even champagne, or craft beer if that is more your style! Once your date has been confirmed, our amazing celebrant Barbara Densmore will be in touch to personalize your elopement ceremony. We ensure your day will be filled with ease and lots of love and laughter!

This is one of my favourite parts because to narrow down locations, we start with having you answer two questions: Do you want to elope at the farm with the donkeys and goats?! OR Do you want to go on an adventurous hike and soak in all of the beauty of Vancouver Island?!

No worries! We will take the hair and makeup of your total cost! If there is any vendor that you don’t need, we can work with that! Your elopement is 100% about you and completely customizable

This is totally fine! This is your day and you get to call the shots! I generally recommend 3-4 hours for your elopement because we get to capture a bit of you both getting ready, playing with the goats or hiking to your ceremony destination, portraits and then a little celebratory cake, charcuterie board or champagne toast to the two of you! Then you get to spend the rest of your evening sitting around a fire, staring at the beautiful stars or eating a heavenly meal (don't worry, I won't third wheel for that)!

We are just that! We are your one-stop elopement shop... as cheesy as it sounds! We will take care of literally every last detail for you... with a little bit of your assistance of course!

This is totally your choice!! It is sometimes nice to get to the location and get dressed, so then you’re not all sweaty in your outfits! Then you can hike back in them and we can capture that part! I always love images of the journey to/ from the elopement destination! Just keep in mind…. there may be other hikers present but we can find a tree to hide you behind while you change ;)

Don’t even sweat it!!! I anticipate this and we work it into the day. I always have a beautiful keepsake vow book and pens for you to write them out! We can take 20 minutes before your ceremony and capture you both writing out your vows... personally I love doing it this way anyways! That is the beautiful thing about eloping, because the day is truly about you two and does not need to be rooted in tradition with a rigid timeline… unless that is what you want!

I totally get it! Chances are this is your first time eloping as well... I’ve got you! To be honest, I love when people hate being in front of the camera because it gives me a lot to work with, surprisingly enough! We get to know each other quickly by telling funny stories, jokes and pumping your favourite playlist! It will feel like you’re hanging out with an old friend and not a stranger with a camera!

Well, if you have read this far, then let’s do this!! All jokes aside though, let’s schedule a Facetime/Skype meeting and answer any more questions you may have and discuss next steps! We can get to know one another better and make sure it is a great fit! I love what I do and making your day extra special is so important to me!
