Range of Light Wed (2024)

Shout out to our brides!

Here are a few tips for planning your :

🌄 Make It An Adventure
We want your elopement to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of! Define what adventure means to you, why you want it as part of your wedding - it might even influence your elopement destination and guest list

🌅 Figure Out What Excites You Most
Ask yourselves, what are the parts of the day you’re most excited about? Could it be sharing breakfast together? Seeing each for the first time in your wedding clothes? Walking down the aisle? (In whatever form the aisle takes) Spending the day with close family and friends?

🏞️ Pick A Stunning Location That Speaks To You
If it’s adventure you’re going for, choose a wedding venue with its own natural beauty. Ski resorts and back-country lodges are great choices, especially if they have access to mountain hiking trails.

💍💚 All In The Details
Adventure elopements are all about the meaningful details. There are NO rules! You could ski or snowboard to your ceremony, or even canoe/kayak!

The sky’s the limit!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, we think nature makes the best cathedrals.

To get to this one we had to squeeze through on our hands and knees, with light stands in tow. But we were greeted with a chamber and the perfect beam of light. We played around in it, stirring up dust, and using Andrew’s white shirt as a human reflector. Eventually, the sun’s angle was too low and it disappeared completely. It made it even more special.

Would you get married in a cave?

We are so lucky to call this place home *heart eyes*

In our opinion, the best thing about eloping in the Sierra Nevadas is the gorgeous outdoor locations. You can choose from deserts, mountains, hot springs, and incredible scenery around every corner. It can be challenging to choose a spot to say your vows when beautiful options surround you, but we’ve got some inspiration for you.

This area is one of our absolute favorite northern California elopement destinations. One of our favorite parts - the options here are limitless! There is no shortage of free campsites, hiking trails, jeep trails and forest service roads.

Krista and Louis picked such a beautiful spot!

We’ve heard so many different reasons why an elopement fits better than a big wedding (we are not knocking big weddings - they just aren’t for everyone).

Here are some of the top reasons:

“We couldn’t find a venue as gorgeous or homey as our favorite travel spot.” We love incorporating your favorite spot OR a destination you’ve always wanted to travel to in your elopement day!

“Personally, we think a lot of what you pay for on a wedding day is for other people.” This is absolutely true, and if that’s not something that feels authentic to you - we understand.

“Our family situation is a bit crazy.” We understand this is difficult to navigate, particularly when the family situations aren’t the best. If eloping just to two of you makes more sense - we are here for it *clap*

“Our values didn’t really match up with a big wedding.” This is a HUGE one for us! It’s why we love elopements so much. If a big wedding just doesn’t match up with your values or what’s important to you - we are here to help!

We are here for you every step of the way! Let’s chat about your or !

We loooove a good love story over here and Krista and Louis have a great one!

Krista and Louis have been dating 2.5 years and they met in real life, pretty much by chance, when Krista hopped on a car pool of folks going to Yosemite to hike.

She brought a friend with her to play it safe, but her and Louis hit it off right away. They both love the outdoors and exploring and especially love the Sonora Pass.

It warms our heart how much they love the Sonora Pass! When we first spoke to Krista she told us that all she wanted was to get married in a beautiful spot and get some amazing photos. We were so stoked to help make their elopement dreams a reality.

The biggest CONGRATULATIONS to this amazing couple!

We want your elopement day to be intentional and full of moments that are meaningful to you as a couple!

Here are a few tips on creating meaningful elopement moments:

🌅 Have a sunrise first look. (Most couples tell us they were too excited to sleep in anyways!)
 ☕️ Share your morning coffee together and break the “don’t see each other tradition”

🧡 Share a portion of your vows or read notes to each other privately (before the ceremony, possibly even on a different day)

✨Immediately following the ceremony, make time just for yourselves. Ask your caterer to bring a plate of hors d’oeuvres and champagne. {Photographer’s () Note: this part of the day is truly surreal and worth holding space for

If these fit your elopement vision we would love to help!
