SO MANY PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES ACCORDING TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS…

And, well… that’s bullshit.

Especially on your wedding day.

You and your relationship is unique in every way, and it’s BS that the wedding industry puts us in boxes that we just aren’t born to fit in.
You were born to stand out.

Ready to have your best day yet?

Known as ‘The Elopement Expert’, Sam Starns is on the forefront of the emerging movement.

I’m sam and I regret my wedding.

I know. Yikes. I cried on my wedding day. They weren’t happy tears, either. I had a day that wasn’t really about the connection I had with my husband. It wasn’t about who we were as people and about the things we loved.

It wasn’t “us”. And it’s unacceptable for you to experience the same thing.

I help fun & free-spirited couples create bold wedding days in dramatic places like Oregon, Redwoods, Alaska, Glacier National Park, Scotland, Norway, and beyond.

Then my couples use that empowerment to transform the rest of their lives. Will you be next?

xx,

ELOPE

/əˈlōp/ – verb
To have an intimate wedding that represents the interests and passions of you and your partner, however nontraditional they may be in terms of weddings.

ELOPE Your Life ®️

/əˈlōp yôr līf/ – verb
To take the confidence and empowerment of eloping and use it to transform other areas of your life in order to live unapologetically and authentically.

Eloping isn’t about the photos, the dress, or the other details we get caught up in. Those can be great, but don’t you feel like striving for something more?

Eloping is about being empowered to be unapologetically yourself and create a wedding day (and life) that YOU can be uniquely proud of, despite what society is screaming at us to be and to do.

The most rewarding and wonderful things in life often happen when you step outside the box. Dare to have an intentional elopement, and to elope your life.

Having trouble narrowing down a location? Pick what you’d rather enjoy (city vs country, culture vs hikes, hot vs cold, etc.) and see where this quiz thinks you should elope!


ELOPE IN OREGON

There is a reason Oregon is called the Iceland of the United States. An Oregon elopement can be anything from a ceremony on the Oregon Coast, to a Crater Lake elopement, or a jaunt out in the wild desert playa near the Steens Mountains. This state has endless possibilities!


ELOPE IN ALASKA

Alaska is just like Glacier National Park in mountainous views, but it can be, dare I say, better?! Within Alaska, you’re able to actually walk on GLACIERS, take a DOG SLED ride, HELICOPTER to a mountain peak, and visit a REINDEER FARM. Let’s be clear, I’m just scraping the surface of all Alaska has to offer.


ELOPE IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

“The Crown of the Continent” boasts some amazing elopement destination views. If you’re wanting rocky and mountainous terrain, with beautiful glacial-fed lakes in the contiguous United States, Glacier National Park is perfect for your elopement.


ELOPE IN THE REDWOODS

There’s a reason I have a Coastal Redwood tattooed on my forearm. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. Magical, mysterious, whimsical, and romantic. Check out all you need to know for a Redwoods elopement, from locations, vendor info, permits and more.
