Give your bottle of champagne a little shake then ease the cork out and let it fly!

As a photographer, I absolutely adore the thrill of capturing the joyous moments of adventure elopements and destination weddings! One of the highlights that fills my heart with happiness is seeing the excitement on the newlyweds’ faces as they get ready to pop the cork on their champagne. The energy is contagious as one partner playfully battles with the bottle, aiming to launch the cork into the sky. The look of surprise and delight that lights up their faces when it finally takes flight is simply magical! This moment beautifully captures the joy of their special day, creating a vibrant snapshot of love and celebration. Each elopement tells a unique story ending with the promise of a wonderful future together. Every couple has their own special vibe, and I am dedicated to capturing those fleeting moments that will blossom into treasured memories. Together, let’s create a visual narrative that reflects your journey, bursting with genuine emotions and breathtaking landscapes!

Many couples initially claim they don’t need the champagne and cheesecake. But aren’t they missing the essence of it all? It’s about the celebration, the cherished photos, and the joy and fun it brings!

Eloping may not fit the mold of a conventional wedding, where the bride gracefully walks down the aisle of a church, greeted by the standing ovation of loved ones. Instead, our elopements embrace the great outdoors, often set against the backdrop of nature, where onlookers may cheer from a distance as the couple passes by. Yet, bravely faceing the uncertain elements, many of our brides still don the classic white wedding gown, while grooms ascend mountains in their suits or tuxedos. With years of experience from countless weddings, we at Simple I Do’s honor tradition in three meaningful ways in our packages: a heartfelt first dance, the delightful cutting and sharing of a wedding cake—typically an Amaretto Cheesecake crafted by yours truly—and a celebratory champagne toast. Every elopement we orchestrate is a distinct adventure, allowing couples to celebrate their love authentically. Whether it’s a breathtaking mountaintop ceremony or a tranquil garden gathering, we meticulously curate your day to reflect your unique personality and love story. With enchanting settings and intimate atmospheres, your special day will be a joyful celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Spraying the champagne is fun, too…

But, please try to avoid giving the photographer a shower!

Toasting your love is ultimately the goal and a simple, profound picture of pure romance! And it signifies that you are blessing the start of your journey together as a couple. 

If you do not consume alcohol, then we offer sparkling cider or sparkling grape juice as an alternative. But still, you should definitaley toast your love during your elopement!
