Everyone's got an Aunt Carol*.

You know, the one friend or relative who insists on being invited, or makes a fuss about whatever you decided on for your wedding day.

This is just to remind you: Aunt Carol isn’t the one getting married.

*Names changed to protect the bitchy 😉

"You make me feel like I can do anything! Before you came into our life, never would I have imagined running around in a dress in nature, going on an adventure not giving a hoot that that is not the 'typical' way to get married. It was a very freeing experience that you were a part of helping us create.

...That experience and my ongoing interactions with you, watching your Facebook lives, being in your 'Elope Your Life' group has just made me want to do more with my life..." - C & M, Oregon

REAL TALK-

I get it. It’s hard to make that choice to decide what’s best for you and your commitment to each other, especially if it doesn’t align with a lot of peoples’ expectations. And that’s NOT your fault. It’s hard to be unapologetically you when society may tell you to do something different.

It isn’t selfish to want a day that reflects you and your partner to the core. It may be one of the most healthy ways to start your new life together.

Spending your days planning for a wedding that pleases everyone won’t magically mend fences or destroy friendships (ask me how I know). You have every right to have whatever kind of wedding day (and LIFE – because why stop at just your wedding) that you want.

And that’s where I come in.

I want to help you elope your life.

A portion of each package is donated to one of these 4 public lands nonprofits. Let's give back to the land we experience on our wedding day.

Why should I consider full day coverage of my intimate wedding?

Your marriage isn't just one day. It's meant to be a permanent commitment to someone who sparks joy in your life (sorry Marie Kondo).

Just a few hours of coverage doesn't do your love and marriage justice. I tell people that your ceremony isn't just the part where you say vows. With an elopement or intimate wedding, the entire day ends up being this ceremony of connection, fun, and adventure. The paperwork is all just secondary.

Take a hot air balloon ride. Get matching tattoos. Go on a cruise. Swim with dolphins. Do whatever speaks to your heart the most. My couples are known for including at least one thing that is unique to them, whether it's hiking a mountain or doing a fun activity.

Your Elopement Experience

Everyone's got an Aunt Carol*.

Location and Permit Assistance

Together, we'll select some of my favorite unique, little-known locations specifically for your elopement so you can enjoy your day to the fullest. I'll craft ideas and activities based on your personalities and send you a rough itinerary that will make you say, "I can't WAIT".

Elopement Guide

The guide includes: ways to connect with each other, how to plan your day, what to wear, guest questions, vendor recommendations, and more. It's all there.

Officiant Services

Wait what? Yeah. This gal is an officiant too if you'd rather have something super simple. Want someone to guide you through the ceremony? I can refer you to several amazing adventure officiants.

REAL TALK-

I want to help you elope your life.

A portion of each package is donated to one of these 4 public lands nonprofits. Let's give back to the land we experience on our wedding day.

Starting in 2020, all MY and YOUR carbon emissions for your elopement will be calculated and offset at the end of the year. I'm excited for Sam Starns Elopements to be a carbon neutral business.

Why should I consider full day coverage of my intimate wedding?
