Hi, I'm Karen
(she/her)
You feel it in your heart that an elopement is right for you. You're ready to step away from tradition and pave your own path.
Eloping is about stripping away the 'should do's and focusing on what really matters - your connection, story, and love.
Let's create this journey together - crafting an unforgettable celebration that feels uniquely yours.
Together, we can create a day that’s not only about beautiful locations, but also about creating a day so deeply personal, it can only belong to you.
