When planning our own wedding, we desperately wanted to elope. For a million reasons, those stars didn’t align for us - and that’s OKAY - but that doesn’t stop us from being wildly passionate about them! What we love most about elopements is that we can focus on just the two of you and whatever you want this day to look like.
And YOU can just focus on each other.
customized, all-inclusive Mountain elopement packages
Here at SMW, our job isn’t just to create beautiful images & heirloom films in pretty places - although it’s definitely cool that we get to do exactly that! Your wedding day should be a reflection of the two of you, and we’re here to help you curate your own custom elopement or intimate wedding package that fits you best. You’ll work directly with us for your planning, photos & video, and then we’ll help you get set up with all the rest - reserving your florist and officiant if you want to add those on, scouting your ceremony location, putting together your timeline, and providing valuable recommendations for much more.
How will your elopement day look?
We can start the day with you getting ready - those details like slipping into your dress or tying your tie. Or, we can plan to meet at your ceremony location. After that, our time together can unfold any number of ways. You'll be spending the day getting (and then being!) married - what else we do is up to you! We can travel around to your favorite hiking trail or through town for the best photo opportunities, possibly stopping to eat crepes or drink a local beer. We will work with you to make your day perfectly reflective of you and just as importantly, fun and stress-free.
As part of your custom mountain elopement experience, think about if you'd like to ski in the winter or have your first dance in the wildflowers in the summer.
During the winter months you can go dog sledding, snowmobiling and of course, skiing and snowboarding. Or, the summer is amazing with endless trails for hiking, mountain biking and exploring. The possibilities are truly endless.
AND, no matter what time of year, let’s PLEASE consider planning around the gorgeous alpine sunsets. :)
