Snake River Overlook Elopement in Grand Teton NP

When it came time to plan a wedding at home, they were overwhelmed with the cost, details, and decisions it entailed. Since they were already going to Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for vacation, they decided to elope instead in the Tetons. Abigail had been before, and told Alex that it was her favorite place in the world. She envisioned saying vows with the view of the mountains towering over them. And it was everything they imagined it would be. She shared that the peace and connection they felt on their wedding day could not be topped— “We are so glad that we chose to profess our vows to each other and our children in the most beautiful place in the world.”

Delta Lake Elopement in Grand Teton National Park

Kim requested the best of both worlds—a small ceremony in the valley with her and Brandon’s closest family and fiends, and an epic adventure to commemorate their personal vows. To make this happen, we decided to split their wedding experience into two days.

So, Kim and Brandon held their intimate wedding at Schwabacher Landing on a Monday; and on Tuesday morning, we met at the trailhead at Lupine Meadows to start our ascend on the mountain.

Point Reyes National Seashore Elopement

When Ashley initially reached out about eloping, she was open to location suggestions. Her only request was “A national park that’s not too cold in April.” Since we already had a trip to Northern California planned for the beginning of April, we suggested Point Reyes National Seashore. We love Point Reyes for its remoteness, its “off the beaten path” essence gives it stillness, which also means it’s less touristy than other locations closer to San Francisco, so it’s the perfect setting for private and personal vows. And in the springtime, wild flowers, like yellow lupines, freckle its grassy dunes and cliff sides.
