Elopements with The Pinckards

We recently decided to COMPLETELY change our elopement packages. In this episode of Elopements with The Pinckards, we're talking about why we scrapped our old packages and made a change to a completely new, simplified package setup. 

We also talk about why your elopement day is SO important and how passionate we are about making sure that your elopement is the best day of your life.

If you are eloping & want to check out our new package options, you can see them here.

You can also read our blog post about eloping on a high peak in the Adirondacks here.

Elopements FAQ | Common Questions About ElopingBeing elopement photographers, we get questions all the time about what eloping looks like, how it works, etc. Most people have never experienced an elopement (because, well, they probably haven't been invited to one!), so when they are considering eloping, it can be difficult to visualize it.

In this episode, our goal is to share the answers to common questions about eloping, so if you want to elope, it will be easier to get the planning started.

Here are some of the questions we talk about:

Can you invite guests to your elopement?

How do couples hike with their wedding clothes for mountaintop elopements?

Can we bring decor, flowers, champagne, etc. if we're eloping?

What time of day is best to elope?

Can our dogs be included?

How do we make our marriage official and legal?

What does the elopement ceremony look like?

What if there is bad weather?

This is a hard topic for a lot of people to discuss with their friends and family. Some people get offended, some are hurt, some might disapprove. You might be surprised, though, that some of your friends and family will be happy for you when they hear that you're eloping.

Based on our experience as elopement photographers and our conversations with couples who have eloped, we are sharing our advice about how to approach the conversation.

Elopements are NOT some sort of rebellious way of saying "screw you" to the people you care about. If an elopement is the best thing for you to do on your wedding day, you shouldn't let anyone stop you from doing it.

You can be gentle in how you tell people, but always be decisive. Don't let them make you second guess yourself.

Should you elope?Society expects every couple to have a big wedding, but what if that's not right for you?

We have talked to so many couples who are thinking about eloping but just can't decide, and here's the thing - elopements aren't for everyone.

It's such a momentous occasion in your life, and you should be careful to make the decision that is BEST for you and your soon-to-be spouse. If that's eloping, great. If you want a big wedding, fantastic!

Helping you decide: wedding vs elopementEven though we photograph elopements for a living, our goal is never to convince a couple to elope. Our goal is to help couples make the right choice for them.

It's YOUR decision. Nobody else's.

In this episode, we're talking about some questions that might be helpful as you try to decide if eloping is right for you, some general ideas to consider, and our experience in talking with other couples who have eloped.

If you're trying to decide if you should elope, hopefully this will help!

If you're thinking about eloping, but you're not even sure what an elopement looks like... you're not alone.

A LOT of people are confused about what it really means to elope, because they've never been to an elopement before.

Episode 2: What does an elopement actually look like?A couple main points on today's episode of Elopements with The Pinckards:

Elopements do NOT have a specific numerical guest-limit. You can invite some of the people closest to you and still elope.

Eloping is more about the mindset than about the details of the day.

There are countless things that you can do on your elopement day. Ask yourself, what would be the most exciting for you as a couple? Elopements can't be explained with a cookie-cutter approach!

We are The Pinckards - Adventurous Elopement Photographers! This first episode is all about us: how we met, our wedding, how we got into elopements, etc.

If you are eloping (or thinking about eloping), our goal is to help you by providing some insights from our experience with elopements.
