We love elopements here at The Venue Report for so many reasons. First, the sky is literally the limit for ceremony location possibilities, delivering some of the most creative and beautiful photography that is just not achievable with a traditional wedding (read: 150 people cannot scale a mountain with you). Second, eloping brings everything back to the real purpose of your wedding – celebrating and fortifying your love in an intimate, meaningful ceremony. Lastly, what better way to start your married life than with the adventure of a lifetime? You'll experience something exhilarating and new as you embark on a new chapter – yes, we love the symbolism of it all. We searched high and low to find the most epic elopements from the last year to bring to you as inspiration for your own adventure of love. We also spoke to the photographers about what made each day so special, from unexpected rain storms to glacier hikes.
