Deep gratitude to our 2026 couples! ✨

To every couple who has placed their trust in us: You have officially filled our capacity for the remainder of the current year.

When we made the intentional choice to step away from the high-volume wedding model and strictly limit our monthly commissions, it was to ensure we could give every single couple our absolute best creative focus and energy. Because of your trust, we are able to keep that promise.

To be a part of your day, to serve as your local guide, and to preserve your visual legacy is an honor we never take for granted. Thank you for choosing intentionality over the noise.

Because we hold these strict limits to protect the quality of our work, we want to let future couples know that we are now booking 2027 elopements.

If you are visualizing a 2027 elopement and want to ensure we are a perfect fit for your story, our calendar is open for consultations. You can find the link in our bio to schedule a 15-Minute Vision Call whenever you’re ready. 🥂

Come soak in a little piece of their day and enjoy their reel with us 👆🏻 ✨

5 Signs You Might Be an Elopement Couple 🤍✨

1. You care more about the feeling of your day than putting on a production for everyone else.

2. The idea of a calm, meaningful experience sounds better than a packed timeline and seating chart stress.

3. You want to actually spend your wedding day together — not apart managing guests all day.

4. You’re drawn to experiences that feel intentional, personal, and true to your relationship.

5. When you picture your wedding day, you imagine freedom, connection, and being fully present with each other.

If you read this and quietly thought “wait… this is us,” then an elopement might be exactly what your hearts have been asking for and we’d love to make your vision come to life!

There’s a moment after you decide to elope where the excitement is quickly followed by one big question… how do we tell everyone? 🤍

You’re allowed to choose a day that feels peaceful. You’re allowed to protect your experience. And you’re allowed to do it without guilt. ✨

If this is something you’ve been navigating, take a moment to read through each slide… and if you want to go deeper, our full guide is waiting for you on our website. 💍

Some days feel less like an event and more like a beautiful exhale. Shanna and Barnes chose to begin forever in a way that felt true to them—quietly, intentionally, and surrounded by so much grace at Hotel Peter & Paul.

Every glance, every smile, every hand held a little tighter said everything words couldn’t. Their day was a reminder that your wedding never has to be loud to be unforgettable.

If you’ve been dreaming of a celebration that feels meaningful, stylish, and deeply personal, let this be your sign that there’s another way. 🤍

There’s something really powerful about choosing a day that reflects you — not tradition, not expectations, just your story. ✨

Dray and Cody brought so much personality into their City Park elopement — from bold, beautiful details to the quiet, grounded way they stood with each other during their vows. It felt equal parts expressive and deeply intentional, like every piece of the day actually meant something to them.

And that’s what makes New Orleans so special for elopements… it gives you room to be yourselves fully — whether that looks soft and quiet, bold and colorful, or a little bit of both. ✨
