Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Eloping

Does skipping all of the fanfare and drama associated with elaborate traditional ceremonies simply sound too good to be true? As a Launceston wedding photographer specialising in local and state-wide elopements, I work with couples looking to do away with expectations,  embrace the unpredictable, and have their day on their terms.

If this sounds like it describes you, read on for some benefits of eloping that will well and truly seal the deal.

What are the benefits of eloping vs a traditional wedding ceremony?

Maintaining complete freedom and flexibility in making all your own rules with zero obligations or expectations from external parties

• Feeling the super romantic, intimate vibes flowing

• Rolling your wedding and honeymoon into one adventure

• Saving money, time, and energy on the planning and execution

• Being ready to get married at any time, completely on your terms

• Delivering your vows in a beautiful, personal experience without any anxiety or stress about public speaking

• Feeling comfortable in the knowledge that there is no chance of drama or tension on your special day

• Sharing the ceremony with your partner only doesn’t mean you can’t have a huge party later

What are the steps to take when eloping?

• Agree on a realistic and achievable budget with your partner

• Discover a location that you both can’t get enough of

• Determine all of the elements that the two of you want as part of your big day

• Get all of the legal bits sorted

• Find a celebrant you feel comfortable with

• Don’t forget to choose some witnesses to tag along with you
