Elopement

A Quiet Elopement in the Italian Dolomites

February 26, 2026

A wedding doesn’t have to be chaotic and filled with other people's opinions. In fact, if a much quieter, more relaxed feel is more your style, let Mackenzie and John's elopement in the Italian Dolomites be your new biggest inspiration. The result? Some of the most gorgeous, quietly beautiful wedding photographs we’ve ever seen! Because isn’t this what getting married is actually all about? Once the big party is over, all that’s left is the two of you and your relationship. Somehow that can get lost in the craziness of planning a big party and this wedding is a great reminder of what really matters.

February 17, 2026

Did you know you can get married at The Satanic Temple in Salem!? Ceremonies at their 'Little Black Chapel' are officiated by the temple's Ministers of Satan and the space is already decked out in a dark red and black colour scheme, complete with candles and flowers, so you really can just show up and get married with very little stress. That's exactly what Aimee and Joe, who got married in December, wanted. They could arrive, focus on the ceremony, and leave without having to manage logistics or guests.

“Nash Vegas” Wedding Planned in Three Months

Tori Perry

January 6, 2026

The couple met in a bar in Nashville, on Lucie's last night of a solo trip. She'd decided to go there because she loves the music scene there - little did she know she's also meet her husband! "Casey is a musician from Nashville and I live in the UK, but we stayed in touch when I got back home and video called every single day from then until I went back two months later", she told us. "Within six months of our long distance relationship, Casey proposed to me outside the Grand Ole Opry and it was the easiest yes I've ever said. We then planned the wedding in three months!"

We Felt Like Rockstars: A Sure Thing Vow Renewal with a Difference

Tree of Life Films & Photos

December 4, 2025

Sure Thing Chapel (and their second location, Sure Thing Too) in Las Vegas has become somewhat of a pilgrimage spot for alt couples who want a kitsch, quirky Vegas wedding. We see a lot of weddings in this space. We’ve featured weddings with rhinestones, leather, Hellvis, pink suits, black veils and every combination possible. Then Zuza and Marcin walked in and the way Tree of Life Films & Photos captured them almost shifted the room into something new. We are totally obsessed with these photos and we think you will be too.

The Lobsters for Life Wedding Fair in The Netherlands pulled in makers, creatives and couples from across Europe last month and gave us a look at how alt weddings are evolving outside the UK. We were so excited to be invited along and spent the day meeting vendors who are pushing ideas forward with real intention. If you missed it and you are planning something unconventional on European soil, this shoot brings that same vibe straight to you! Every look, prop and detail was created by vendors from the show and most of them work with couples all over the continent.

When We Were Young: Gothic Desert Elopement at Eldorado Canyon

Electric Sugar Elopements

November 5, 2025

Aimee and Jon left Birmingham to get married in the Nevada desert. The bride loved the idea of Vegas, the groom wanted something outdoors or in the mountains, so as soon as they found out about the little chapel at Eldorado Canyon, they knew it would be the best of both worlds. Eldorado Canyon gave them the intimacy they wanted, but they still ended the day in true Vegas fashion. After the ceremony they changed outfits and headed to the Strip and Downtown to celebrate.
