CAN WE BRING FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO OUR ELOPEMENT?
Yes, you absolutely can bring guests to your elopement!
1. You can also always include your guests for portions of the day, not the whole thing.
2. For fam and friends who can’t be there, ask them to provide written letters, pre-recorded videos, or audio messages.
3. If your guests are participating in adventures, make sure they can safely partake.
Here’s a great resource for how to include family and friends in your elopement day.
Can our Dog or Pet Be a Part of our Elopement?
Absolutely! You just have to make sure that pets are allowed where you are going. Some locations allow pets anywhere, some only allow them on leashes.
But here’s one of the coolest things about Colorado – your pet can legally sign your marriage license! That’s right, your fur-baby can be a legal witness to your wedding. I’m telling you, nothing beats Colorado.
“Adam has been the most amazing photographer throughout this whole experience. He is a master with the camera. His personality radiated throughout the whole elopement. He made me comfortable enough to be funny and goofy and be myself. It felt like I’ve known him my whole life that’s how much of a friendly and open person he is. His pictures came out amazing I would definitely recommend booking with him for anything you need! Thank you Adam for such an amazing experience it was truly amazing!!!!” – Jayshawna and Kristie

“He immediately felt like a old friend that we were comfortable around so the stress of a stranger melted quickly. We needed a little guidance and advice since it was just the two of us and he was right there to help. He was very encouraging and made us feel like rockstars. Our pictures turned out even better than I imagined!” – Christine and Bo
WEEKDAY OR WEEKEND
If you can help it, elope on a weekday! Trust me, trails and mountain towns get busy during the weekends because all the locals and tourists are out and about having fun. The best time to get married, heck even to just have a regular old adventure, is during the weekday. You’ll have far fewer people to contend with, and also might even have lower costs!
“This is the hardest review I ever had to write. Only because I have so many great things I can say about Adam @Adventure Amore. First I will say to stop looking around for the perfect photographer! Adam is the one! Adam gave his all to find out who we are, our likes and dislikes, what we pictured on our day and how WE wanted it to be. With all honesty he made our day amazing.” – Eugene & Angela
