In today's episode, I'm chatting with Terrie Alfieri, who is a wedding photographer based in New York. She's sharing her firsthand experience of eloping in Banff, which is a national park located in the province of Alberta, Canada. We discuss how Terrie put together an awesome vendor team, the hotel they stayed at, and a little bit of the (sometimes confusing) legal process for getting married in another country.

For this episode, I invited my good friend Phil to speak about some of the differences between getting married in New York City versus Santa Barbara. Phil has lived in both places, so he helped me break things down! We talk specifically about elopements and the city hall / courthouses in both of these locations.

We cover favorite spots to take portraits after the ceremony, favorite places to grab a drink or some food, and some suggestions on where to stay.

Today I'm chatting with the lovely Mollie of Between the Pine. Mollie is an adventure elopement photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. I found her online while I was researching how to get married in this strange Coronavirus era. She has some amazing resources on her blog, and so I figured she would be the perfect person to talk through this topic with.

Ever consider eloping in Vegas? Today, I chat with Victoria, who is one of the co-owners of the Sure Thing Chapel in Las Vegas.

We talk about things like what the experience of getting married at the Sure Thing Chapel is like, how far in advance people should book, the types of packages they offer, and also just some general tips for eloping in Vegas.

Victoria shares a couple of her favorite spots. She's lived in Vegas for 10 years. She shared with me some lesser known hot spots that she frequents and that she really enjoys.

I know that some people might imagine getting married or eloping in Vegas as a kind of cheesy and an outdated approach. However, I do not think that this option of getting married at the Sure Thing Chapel is cheesy. It's a very chic and well-decorated, minimalistic space. Her Instagram is what prompted me to reach out to her, because the aesthetic was so good. I really wanted to learn more about what the Sure Thing Chapel was and how it got its start.
