Multi-Country Elopements
multi-country elopements
THERE’S NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT.
WHEN YOUR FEET FIRST TOUCH THE SOIL OF A PLACE YOU’VE NEVER BEEN.
Yes, you read that correctly: Your elopement can take place not only across multiple days, not only in multiple locations, but if you’re stricken with wanderlust: your elopement can take place in multiple countries!
If you’ve read through our other website pages, you know by now that elopements are designed to be 100% you. So if you’re someone who loves to travel, then it can’t get much more YOU than making travel a core aspect of your elopement!
You step off the plane, and your eyes behold something completely new. You get excited by all the signs being in a different language, or the challenge of trying to communicate despite the language barrier. You’re ready to try new foods - some of them you’ll love, others you won’t - but you count it as a win either way because it’s new.
Some people would find these things inconvenient, or even frustrating - but not you.
To you, it’s all part of the journey, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
To you, everything in a new country, whether big or small, is an adventure.
To you, the moments you feel most alive are when you’re on the other side of the globe.
Can you relate? If so, then you’re in good company, because we feel the same way.
WHICH IS WHY FOR US, THE MOST EXCITING ELOPEMENT PACKAGE WE OFFER IS OUR MULTI-COUNTRY ELOPEMENT!

Wondering what’s the best way to pack a wedding dress for a flight? Or how to navigate trains and metro stations in another language? Or how to figure out wedding permitting in another country?
“What a gift it was to have Sammie and Micah as our adventure guides/photographers for our engagement AND ceremony. As soon as we reached out, they were incredibly excited and supportive of our vision and essential to helping us with our timeline for the big day. Truly went above and beyond any expectation for photographers, as they were actively involved and reassuring with planning and execution. They helped to alleviate any unnecessary stress and reassured us leading up and throughout the day, which every couple should experience. More importantly, we gained wonderful friends who made it so easy to be ourselves and helped make this dream a reality for us."
"They helped make this dream a reality"
- Alexis + Sean
You and your partner have an intimate elopement within a few hours of your hometown with your closest friends and family celebrating with you. Then you hop on a plane and fly across the globe to that country you’ve always wanted to visit, and you have another day of adventure documented there!
Or you could go international from the start; after all, it’s not hard turning your dream honeymoon destinations into dream elopement destinations! Spend one day of your elopement in the Swiss Alps and another in Paris! One day in the frozen beauty of Iceland, another on the beach in Thailand. One day in the deserts of Morocco, another along the coast of Italy, and another in neighboring Croatia.
Or maybe you’re already married (COVID wedding anyone?), but now that travel has opened back up, you want to commemorate your marriage with your dream international adventure wedding, traveling in multiple countries that hold meaning to you.
Or why stop at 2 countries? Why not road trip your way across Europe and have an elopement day in each of the 5 different countries you visit?
Some examples of what a multi-country elopement could look like:
More and more couples are choosing to make their wedding an unforgettable multi-day experience.
It’s the best adventure of your life - why contain it to just one day?
And we'll take that even further - why contain it to just one place?
So pause with us for a second, remove the limits, and just dream:
What could getting married look like for you?
Combining the enthralling rush of international travel with the intentionality of an adventure elopement may sound too good to be true, but it’s not. In fact, having your elopement take place across multiple countries is even more attainable than you’ve probably ever thought!
Are we the only ones jumping up and down over here? If you're anything like us, you’re getting excited at the mere possibility of your wedding consisting of an adventure like this.
And THEN, after a few more days of enjoying the epicness Iceland has to offer, you and your love fly across Europe and arrive in idyllic Greece.
You don your wedding attire one more time (the most gorgeous outfit of your life, you want to get some more wear out of it!), and you both set out to explore the island.
You wander up and down charming side streets, take a boat ride through stunningly clear waters along the coast, and indulge in delicious Greek food. We find a beautiful lookout over the island town, on which you read personal, meaningful letters you wrote to each other. You end the night with a candlelit beach dinner on the tranquil coastline, happily breathing in this beautiful culture and marveling at this incredible experience celebrating your union.
Imagine waking up in Iceland. Getting ready in anticipation, and walking out to a vast cliff overlooking the wild ocean, where you and the love of your life exchange vows and become husband and wife.
You adventure together the rest of the day, hiking through gorgeous trails, dancing under majestic waterfalls, and marveling at the unique Icelandic landscapes you can’t find anywhere else in the world.
The most surreal, wild, sentimental, and completely YOU day comes to a close.
So let's paint an even more detailed picture...
can you imagine yourself getting married this way?
If so, you're in the right place.
