These are the words I wish I didn’t have to hear from eloping couples 💍

“We will just…”

The words that ring with the weight of limitations and expectations.

The words that hint at shame and guilt

The words that positions their wedding day as “less than” because it’s unlike what tradition or people around them expect.

The words that limits them from what their day can be….

A day of intention, adventure, raw emotion, experiences, deeper connection, unique, unapologetic and a day without limits.

—If you choose to elope…know that your day doesn’t have to be “just” something. It can be just as special as you want it to be and nothing less!

We want more eloping couples saying the words…

“We are definitely going to…”

With a tone of confidence, know how, support and excitement! Because that’s what each couple who decides to elope deserve!

Have you found yourself “I will just” while planning your wedding?

Elope & bring your family too!

“Eloping with your family is a thing?”

YESS!! It’s true! Eloping can be just the two of you or more.

You can still have an intimate experience & a small wedding and still have your closest family and friends there in person!

Imagine the things you can do with 25 or less compared to limiting what you can do with 100’s! 😎

Talk about an amazing adventure!!!

“I can only get married in a courthouse”

You may think a courthouse is the only way to get legally married.

We are here to tell you it’s NOT!!

You can get married in your living room 🏠 , on a boat 🚤, or with a goat 🐐…

It’s up to YOU

And that’s what so great about elopement days…it’s untraditional and you can do anything you want!

YOUR ELOPEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT…to your friends and family! 🎉

This is not “bad news” that you’re breaking to your loved ones. It’s an exciting, romantic announcement of your plans to celebrate your love in a way that makes you and your partner happiest. When you frame your elopement announcement as an apology or a negative conversation, it sets the stage as such. In other words, it shows your loved ones that this is not good news for them and that they should feel negative about the situation.

There are countless ways to include your loved ones in your day, both in-person and otherwise!

Here are some tips around announcing your elopement!

👉🏼Prepare them by dropping plenty of hints before hand

👉🏼Remind yourself why you are eloping and then convey it to them.

👉🏼Share the exciting news face to face

👉🏼Find a unique and meaningful way to involve them in your day

03/10/2022

⛰As you have discussions with your partner about your elopement vision, remind yourselves to immerse all five senses into your experience — this is often a key characteristic of a core memory. Oftentimes, when you recall a core memory, the emotions paired with the recollection are so powerful that it’s easy to recall what all of your senses were experiencing. For example, is there a certain smell that takes you back to a very particular time and place? Is there a song that transports you to a specific memory? As you have discussions about your elopement vision with your partner, if you’re able, consider your senses as often as possible. Immerse yourself in sensory experiences that are pleasant for you — snack on a food you love, play some of your favorite music in the background, etc.

⛰These memories are so special. Don’t forget that! Planning an elopement is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and as you reflect on this time later on in life, you’ll want your memories to be as clear, accessible, and tangible as possible.

If states were people, California would be that one person we all know who’s got it all going on. A lovable personality that draws everyone in, breathtaking natural beauty, every likable quality you could imagine - essentially … Beyoncé ✨. Need we say more?

⛰ 🌊 California is the mecca for adventurers, thrill-seekers, wanderers, nature-lovers, and globetrotters alike. It’s home to the widest array of landscapes in the country - crystal blue lakes, towering mountains, pristine beaches, ancient forests, lush meadows and so, so much more. California boasts 8 national parks and over 100 (mmhm. Yes, 100) state parks within, among which are some of the most iconic in the world, in addition to some of the nation’s most historically significant (and gorgeous) architecture, and endless activities for adventure-lovers, foodies, creatives, and history buffs alike.

If you’re interested in having an unforgettable and utterly magical elopement, look no further than the state of California. If you’re unsure whether this state has something to suit your style and taste, we promise you that if you give us a chance, we’ll be able to convince you otherwise. 🎉

✨ALIGNED ELOPEMENT VISION

🚨Without this…

🚫You’ll find many decisions will be stressful & a struggle
🚫You as a couple will move along different paths that creates tension & takes focus off a joyful time
🚫You become vulnerable to thoughts and opinions of others & steer away from a day that truly represents you!

✨With this…

✅Decisions will be made with ease and conviction
✅You work together to create an intentional elopement day and enjoy the process along the way
✅You remain a united front; can confidently tune out the option is if others that do not align with your elopement

ELOPING COUPLES…Take the time to dream & vision out your day with intention, so your day is created by your heart over your head. 🎉

👀 It’s no secret that weddings can be insanely stressful. Will your guests like the catering? Is anyone going to notice the flower arrangements? Are party favors necessary? Will it be awkward if people don’t dance?

Blah.

If you don’t think it’s worth stressing about, then you don’t need to let yourself stress about it. How cool is that? Couples who choose to elope often ditch the biggest stressors on their wedding day. If you don’t have guests to cater to, you won’t have to worry if anyone likes the food! No flower arrangements? No problem! Party favors? Forget about it! Dancing? We feel very strongly that two people are enough for a dance party, so there you have it.

We highly recommend dancing 💃

—You can ELOPE however the heck you want!

—There are absolutely no limits to what your elopement can look like. Couples are constantly pushing the boundaries for what creative, wild, adventurous antics can happen during an elopement.

—You can have your elopement in whatever location you want, celebrate however you want, make it last as long as you want, and invite whoever you want. Set the rulebook on fire and roast marshmallows on it!

—You don’t have to elope in the mountains. You don’t have to hike 12 miles to get married in a beautiful location (spoiler alert: there are so many accessible, easy-to-get-to locations for intimate ceremonies). Your elopement can be boujee, or laid back. It can be free of drama, and it’s no less meaningful than a traditional wedding.

—If something is important to you, it can be included in your elopement day – if there’s a will, there’s a way! Your day should truly represent *you,* and if that means doing something totally out-of-the-ordinary, then DO IT! Bend the rules, break the rules, and craft a day for yourself that has your name written all over it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

😎 Are you a photographer who no longer wants to manage all of the aspects of running their own business and is interested in working on a team? Do you love to see people succeed and find joy in guiding and coaching others?

You may be the person we’re looking for! Ascend Together is looking for a Business Coach and Elopement Photographer. I am an elopement photographer and photography business coach who finds joy in creating beautiful moments for all people and helping people navigate and transform their businesses to fulfillment. I created a community of photography business owners who needed support creating a sustainable business model that truly aligns with them. We are passionate about celebrating everyone on their journey and supporting the growth of these entrepreneurs – while having a blast doing it!. We are transitioning from an Elopement photography business to launching a brand-new all-inclusive Elopement business offering for those who want to elope, but don’t want to handle the planning and logistics of it all. As an Elopement Photographer, you will be the person traveling to and shooting the events – without having to handle all of the administrative aspects of running your own business. As the Business Coach (which will be your primary responsibility), you will take your photography business experience and apply it to helping others grow their business.

-California/West Coast Preferred, but still apply wherever you are in the U.S.
-Remote for coaching, Travel needed for shooting elopements
-Starting part-time to provide room to transition to full-time
-Starting 25/hr for coaching and profit sharing for elopements

Success may feel completely within reach for you, even if you're doing it all on your own.

But what if I told you your idea of success is far less ambitious than it could be?

If you knew the things your business could be capable of with the help of a community, you would never try to justify doing things on your own again. Trust me on this one.

What were the reasons that made you decide to become your own boss?

Write them down, frame them, tattoo them onto your forehead (okay maybe not the last one) - and DON'T COMPROMISE THEM.

Those are your core motivations for doing what you're doing. If you feel like they aren't your reality, it's not too late for them to be.

All you're missing is boundaries — clear outlines for yourself and your clients that help you maintain a positive relationship with your work and with one another.

I always hear my clients talk about what other people want from their elopement shoot. It's always “my mother wants this,” “my friends did that,” “I was thinking of doing this, but I’m not sure what so-and-so will think.”

TBH, it’s a nope from me to all of it. 🙅‍♀️

I’m a firm believer that your elopement should be entirely about you both. It should be a celebration of your love and all of the things that make you unique and joyful. ✨

Of course, you can consider the opinions of others, but at the end of the day, my point is this: don’t compromise the uniqueness and joy of your experience for anyone else. It’s your day, so why not make it as “you” as possible?

It’s why I LOVE elopements! Being able to help a create a day aligned with them is so dang fulfilling! 🥰

CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!

Plan your best & don’t set perfect expectations on your wedding day! 👏🏼

✨The fact is…just like you as an individual and your relationship…its not perfect, so don’t expect your day to be!

✨ Embrace the messy of your day no matter what happens.. because that is life that is a marriage. There will be imperfections and messes and we can choose to let it get to us or embrace it and move on!

❤️ Like this day with L & C at ! This venue is known for their tall redwoods and epic ceremony location…but it rained, so here comes a big tent to cover the guests for the ceremony. Although it wasn’t the view they dreamed of or hoped for…

🎉They were getting married!!🎉

So….no matter what happened that day they did what they came to do…get married and celebrate with people they love! 👏🏼

IT WAS AN EPIC DAY! 🎉

Reminding all brides/grooms that no matter what happens…in the end your marriage and celebration matters and to embrace all the messy that may happen inbetween 🥰

A session with me is like model training…OH YES 😎🤣

My couples are just pros by the end of their sessions. 👏🏼

These two are FIRE 🔥 getting wed in their home, adventuring to Yosemite a few months later for their bridals, and now about a year later being PROS on the coast 👑

You can be the most introverted…”I’m so awkward”, “I don’t like to be in front of the camera”person and that won’t stop me from creating a fun environment you will totally have a blast in, so I can bring out all of that love and joy to capture! 🥰

Ahhh aren’t they the cutest!?? 😍🥺
