****Unpopular opinion time*****

Your wedding doesn't have to be the biggest day of your life... it just has to be the most *meaningful.*

Somewhere along the way, weddings became performances. Guest lists. Seating charts. Timelines. Expectations.

But an elopement?

An elopement is about stripping away everything that isn't *you.*

It's the quiet moments before you say your vows.

The way your hands find each other without thinking.

The tears that don't have to be hidden.
The freedom to choose a place that feels like home—even if it's on a mountaintop, beside the ocean, or deep in the forest.

Choosing to elope isn't choosing *less.*

It's choosing **more**

✨ More intention.
✨ More presence.
✨ More adventure.
✨ More connection.
✨ More of each other.

There's nothing wrong with a traditional wedding if that's what truly speaks to your heart. But! If you've ever felt like you're planning a wedding for everyone else instead of yourselves... maybe it's worth asking why.

Because at the end of the day, no one will remember your chair covers or your signature cocktail as much as the way you'll remember the feeling of looking into your partner's eyes and promising forever.

Your love story deserves to be experienced, not performed.

🤍 If you could exchange vows anywhere in the world, where would it be? Tell me below. I'd love to hear your dream location.

There's honestly nothing better than being a girl's girl - seeing the beauty in building up other women's confidence will change your life.

Having girlfriends that are always there for you, cry with you, laugh with you, it's something completely priceless.

That's why I choose to ✨celebrate✨ what makes us different and unique rather that judge or compete. There's plenty of space for us all to take up without growing others out.

Despite black women being one of the worst treated sub groups in the US, they are still here, still fierce, still showing up every day for themselves, their families, and their community. That IS resilience 💪

Your wedding should be about you enjoying the moment - the little things that show your love and devotion for each other.

The little crinkle in those eyes when they smile at you. How your heart beats a little bit faster every time you kiss. How they squeeze your hand to reassure you that they are there with you.

Not the 200 people who need to be fed or entertained. Not the mother in law that decided she was also going to wear white today. Not the fact that the caterers overcooked half the dishes.

Eloping is an intentional choice that provides you more peace, thoughtfulness, and intentionality to your wedding day.

Your wedding pictures should feel like an authentic reflection of you - who you are and how you love your partner - not some stiff poses designed by your photographer.

This is where prompting becomes the main character.

Prompting some basic movements and interactions between you and your loved one will show the love and devotion between each other in a natural, authentic way that captures the essence of your day and relationship.

Let me do the work to show you what your true connection looks like 🥰
