If you're planning an elopement wedding, congratulations! It's a beautiful way to exchange your vows and start your life together. But you'll want to make sure that your photos are just as beautiful as the day itself, which is why it's important to take some time to plan them out. Here are a few tips to help you look stunning in your elopement photos.

Pick the Perfect Location

When picking the perfect location for your elopement photos, there are a few factors to consider to ensure you look epic in your photos. You need to figure out the vibe or feel you want your photos to capture. Do you want mountain elopement photos with wildflowers in Aspen, Colorado? Or do you prefer a more city-chic vibe with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background? No matter what vibe you choose, make sure it matches who you are as a couple. 

If you're opting for a destination elopement, pick somewhere that has special meaning to you—whether it's where you grew up, got engaged, or went on your first date. And, of course, check the weather forecast! You don't want your elopement photos in the rain or snow (unless that's the look you're going for). 

Once you've considered all of these factors, you'll be well on your way to having epic elopement photos that perfectly capture your love story.

Coordinate Your Outfits

Eloping is a very intimate and personal affair. The last thing you want is to look back on your elopement photos and feel like you're impersonal or mismatched. That's why it's important to take the time to coordinate your outfits.  And while your outfits should complement each other, make sure they don't exactly match. You want your elopement photos to be full of contrast and interest, so avoid wearing all white or all black. Instead, try to mix and match different textures, patterns, and colors to create a more dynamic look. For example, you could pair a chiffon dress with a leather jacket or a lace top with denim shorts.

Another great way to add interest to your elopement photos is by incorporating props or accessories. For example, you could bring along a bouquet of wildflowers, a vintage suitcase, or a piece of a family heirloom. Just make sure that whatever you bring complements your overall look and feel.

By taking the time to coordinate your outfits, you can be sure that you'll look amazing in your elopement photos—and that they'll perfectly capture the intimacy and love of your special day.

Pro-tip: Make sure your elopement outfits are comfortable! You'll be doing a lot of walking (and possibly climbing) on your elopement day, so make sure you choose shoes and clothing that won't leave you with blisters or aching feet.
