BEST ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY LOCATIONS

Elopement photography is a specific genre of wedding photography that captures couples who have chosen to elope. While the term “elopement” can technically refer to any couple who chooses to marry without telling their families or friends first, today the term elopement photography simply refers to smaller, less official, more “low key” weddings that are typically held in adventurous or scenic locations.
