One of my favorite parts on your elopement day is taking 20 minutes to intentionally create beautiful artwork!

Even though I design your day with ease to enjoy and bask in every moment, the time passes quickly, so I make sure it is a part of your timeline to try some fun and cool things! It’s always different every time, however it’s often the funnest part!

Thinking about hiring an elopement planner? Here’s what to look for ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

📸 Industry Experience
“How long have you been in the industry?” is a great question to start with. Drawing from my own journey as a wedding photographer, I've gained valuable insights into collaborating with various vendors and orchestrating a flawless celebration.

🤝 Personal Connection
Entrust your special day to someone invested in understanding you and your relationship. Opt for a planner who takes the time to build a connection, ensuring a day tailored to your unique story.

❇️ Bespoke Services
Say no to 'one-size-fits-all' packages. A great elopement planner recognizes that each love story is unique and crafts a personalized experience, reflecting your distinct style and preferences.

⁠
👉️ That’s why we have to set up packages or experiences. We want to leave room for you to make your day your own. We’ll guide you through the process, to ensure every detail is put into place.⁠

Endless options might sound overwhelming, but that’s where we come in. We want to leave room for you to make your day your own, but we’ll guide you through the process, to ensure every detail is put into place and your day can be enjoyed from start to finish.⁠

Top FIVE reasons to elope 💍

💰COST
Historically, this is one of the most common reasons to elope. Why spend all your savings on one day, when you have your whole life together ahead of you? Well, today this still rings too, but your elopement can also be as elaborate or as intimate as your dreams allow. Cutting down on costs like a large venue, catering etc, can help you splurge on the parts of your day most important to you.

💭INTENTION
Couples who elope value the intentional experience rather than hosting the big party. Nevermind the endless planning of meeting expectations of all your guests. But at the end of the day, the only opinions that really matter are you & your partners (sorry mom).

💍TRADITION
If you’re here, tradition is likely not your thing. You’re not looking for a run of the mill, cookie cutter wedding, the big white dress, or a huge group of people watching you walk down the aisle. Rather, a tailored ceremony, followed by a memorable experience that you’ll be cherishing for a lifetime—and choosing to elope allows you to do just that.

😵‍💫STRESS
For those of you who have planned a wedding before, let’s be honest, stress played a role at some stage. From dealing with vendor availability to booking your venue years in advance, it’s safe to say a breaking point is always near. By choosing an elopement, and even better, an all-inclusive wedding package, you eliminate the need to worry and replace it with joy, laughter and so much love.

📍LOCATION
Elopement venue options are endless when you’re choosing from Vancouver Island’s beautiful backyard gems. Without the worry of squeezing 60+ people in a hall or hiring an expensive caterer, you can enjoy each other's company during a ceremony that requires no deposit down and just a touch of adventure.

Big fan of storm watching & endless beaches? Let’s run away to the sandy seaside of Tofino this winter!🌊☔️

The epitome of west coast winters lines the intimate coastlines of Tofino and Ucluelet, and it’s safe to say we’re keen to plan some winter elopements in one of our favorite Vancouver Island destinations.

Planning on eloping this winter? Send me a message & let’s make your dreams a reality.💭

Has anyone ever told you that you can do both? Elope… and have the party that is!🥂

Often couples choose to do one or the other, but you can still have your cake and eat it too. Meaning, you can have your intimate ceremony & unique-to-you experience and still throw a party with your friends and family a few months or years down the road.

This option leaves space for you and your partner to plan your day the way YOU want to.

Does this sound like you? Let’s chat!💭

We’re sticking to what we do best—elopements.💭

If you’ve been a follower, you may have seen us post about our 2024 Micro Weddings earlier this season. When we launched our micro weddings, we had inquiries coming in left, right and center, it was incredible! But then we realized it was pulling us from our one true love and our mission of capturing stress-free moments for our clients.

So we decided to not move forward with these dates, and going forward, we’ll be pouring our hearts and our energy into smaller, more intimate experiences.

Whether this takes the form of intentionally curated pop-ups, or one-off ventures into Vancouver Island’s beautiful backyard to capture your I do’s, we’ll be here to help you plan every little detail along the way.✨

We get a lot of questions about first looks… and the answer is YES! You can 100% do a first look on your elopement day 🙈

First looks add this beautiful element of surprise and we’ve never had a couple regret this beautiful and memorable moment. We are big lovers of a first look 🙌🏽✨

5 ideas for planning a winter elopement.❄️❄️❄️

1️⃣ Tofino storm watching 🌊

Embrace the power of nature as you witness the mighty waves of Tofino's stormy beaches. Cozy up in a waterfront cabin with panoramic views, or venture outside for an intimate ceremony on the sandy shores.

2️⃣ Rent a cozy cabin in the woods 🏡

Say your vows in a tranquil forest clearing and follow it up with a soak in a wood-fired hot tub. Explore the nearby trails, bask in the warmth of a crackling fire, and let the towering trees be your silent witnesses.

3️⃣ Frolic in the snow at Mount Washington 🏔️

Bundle up and keep each other warm while we find the perfect snowy lookout for you to tie the knot. Spend the night at a cozy chalet on the mountain with charcuterie and a cold plunge in the snow.

4️⃣ Have a bonfire on the beach 🔥

Experience the coastal charm of the cooler months with a romantic beach bonfire. Toast marshmallows, wrap yourselves in cozy fur jackets, and let your hearts melt in the warmth of the flames.

5️⃣ Integrate your favourite winter sports ⛷️

Embrace the snowy season by incorporating your favorite winter sports. Whether it's skiing or snowshoeing, let the breathtaking snowy landscapes serve as the backdrop for your love story.

The best part? It’s technically the off-season for most wedding vendors, so you’ll get your pick of the best of the best to make your winter elopement come to life.

Did you know we have a local videographer on our team? Fun fact—I actually met him on the set of one of our styled shoots!

We knew it was a perfect match as soon as we got to chatting. Not only does ’s experience compliment our adventurous experiences, but the way he creates & the way he sees the world is so similar to the values we try to bring to life in our elopements.

A note from Deon:

“My name is Deon and I’m a professional videographer and filmmaker from Vancouver Island! It’s kind of funny but I met Elyse and the Vancouver Island Elopements team through a modeling shoot where we were shooting content for a new elopement location (yes, you can find me on the website). Elyse mentioned she was looking for a video vendor, and the rest is history.

My passion for life really comes from nature and the outdoors, which is what caught me about working with Elyse and her team. I believe in that strong connection between nature and people. The way a forest grounds you, or how a river brings a sense of calm. In my opinion these connections bring us closer to nature, ourselves, and even our partners. For me to be a part of that special moment, in nature, with the person you love most, is why I do what I do. I appreciate the Vancouver Island Elopements team for making that possible.”

What if you treated your elopement day as an experience?🌿

Picture this. You wake up with your partner, enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee and breakfast in bed. Then, start your elopement day with a cold plunge and a warm up in a cozy barrel sauna. You get ready, and continue your experience into the evening.

Who says your elopement coverage only has to be 2 hours long? 👌🏼

Why not treat your day like — this is your elopement, not a photoshoot!?✨💍
