Preparing for Your Elopement with Ash & Thistle

Planning an elopement can be as simple or as detailed as you wish. Here’s a brief guide to help you prepare for your special day:

1. Choose Your Perfect Location:

   • Think about places that are special to you as a couple. It could be a favorite hiking trail, a picturesque beach, or even your backyard. The location sets the tone for your elopement and serves as the backdrop for your photos.
   • Consider the logistics: How easy is it to get there? What’s the best time of day for lighting? Do you need any permits?

2. Decide on the Details:

   • Even though elopements are simpler, you still have options for personal touches. Think about attire, flowers, and any symbolic rituals you might want to include.
   • You can also think about adding elements like handwritten vows, a small picnic, or a champagne toast to make the day uniquely yours.

3. Plan for the Unexpected:

   • Be prepared for changes in weather, especially if your location is outdoors. Having a backup plan can ensure your day goes smoothly.
   • Pack essentials like comfortable shoes, extra layers, and any props or accessories that you’d like to incorporate into your photos.

   • This is where Ash & Thistle comes in. Our goal is to blend into your day, capturing authentic moments without disrupting the natural flow of your elopement. We focus on creating a visual story that reflects your love, joy, and the adventure you’re embarking on together.
