The Elopement Experience
GUIDEBOOK
Originally written when elopements were still unconventional, this book laid the groundwork for what elopements could become: intentional, intimate, and thoughtfully planned.
It offers early insights into choosing meaningful locations, simplifying the wedding experience, and designing a day centered on the couple rather than tradition. While the industry has evolved since its release, the core philosophy remains relevant for couples seeking a more personal alternative to a traditional wedding.
This book serves as a foundational read and historical reference within the elopement space.
