Coming from the verb to elope meaning to run away. This definition has evolved over time and has become the perfect synonym for an intimate way of getting married, focused solely on your relationship and what you experience together and not on the myriad of commercial distractions that the wedding industry offers. 

This doesn't mean you should run off and get married without telling anyone! While a traditional wedding can have hundreds of guests, an elopement is a more intimate experience and usually includes only the couple and sometimes a few guests (less than 15 people).

This means that it is much easier to get married in beautiful natural settings that would not otherwise be accessible. Most couples who choose to elope are not doing it to save money, but because they want their wedding day to be a reflection of who they are, not a big show made to fit in.

Yes, absolutely! This is one of our favorite part of our job. In fact, most of the couples we work with have no idea where they want to get married or just have a rough idea of the area when they contact us.

When we meet, we talk with you for a long time to understand your vision for your day, your musts and your limitations (physical, budgetary or other) that we will have to deal with. Only after we understand what you want to experience on your wedding day, do we make suggestions for personalized locations. This is why almost all of our elopements take place in locations that our couples didn't even know existed until they contacted us! 

We are experienced travelers, lost corner hunters, dead end adventurers! We are especially passionate about helping you find hidden treasures and off-the-beaten-path locations to exchange your vows. We'll be happy to give you lots of suggestions based on your tastes. We have been traveling through the beautiful playground that is the province of Quebec for many years and have photographed many intimate weddings and elopements. We will certainly help you choose the perfect spot for you ;)

Oh yeah! Originally from Montreal, we have been living in beautiful Quebec City for a few years now. We love to travel as much for pleasure as for work. Don't hesitate to tell us about your projects no matter where in the world you want to go. We are here to help you with the logistics and planning that such an adventure represents.

Yes, absolutely! As long as the wedding ceremony is performed according to the laws of the province or country it takes place, an elopement is completely legal.

For example, in Quebec, the marriage must be celebrated before a competent officiant and in the presence of at least two witnesses. We can help you find an officiant who will accompany you through the administrative process. The officiant can also be someone close to you. And if you decide to celebrate your union in privacy, we can also act as witnesses and sign the required documents.

You can also choose to sign the papers in the weeks before or after your elopement and focus only on the vows you will exchange on your intimate wedding day. This allows you to not be limited by the administrative side of things and to imagine your wedding day as you want it to be. It's safe to say that about one in two couples choose to sign the official papers on another day.

This may surprise you, but most of the locations you see pictured on our website are easily accessible.

When we make suggestions for your elopement location, we take into account several factors, including accessibility. If you don't feel like hiking on your wedding day, we can suggest several epic locations that are easily accessible.

If you decide to have an outdoor wedding adventure, it implies that you're ready to embrace rain, snow and all! We're used to photographing in all seasons and all kinds of weather conditions.

Of course, we're not crazy. If ever the weather is too bad or could be dangerous, we put into action plans B, C or D that we will have taken the time to elaborate with you in advance. As elopement photographers, being flexible is second nature.

If that's what will make your day perfect, sure!

Be aware that an elopement is considered a small intimate wedding with less than 15 guests and that there are many ways to include your family and friends. Read this blog post to learn more about How to include your family and friends? (english version coming soon)
