You are the Eloper!!

You are a true romantic at heart and finding the perfect getaway for you, and the one you love is your ideal way to tie the knot. Your chosen location could be high in the glorious alpine environment of the snow-covered mountains, or barefoot in the sand on a serene tropical beach. Wherever you decide to declare your love, you know it will be a very special intimate occasion that will live on in both of your memories forever.

Starting your life together with an exciting adventure and avoiding the stress of organising a large wedding may sound like your perfect solution. Here are a few things to think about when considering elopement.

• Choose your dream location. You only get to have this experience with your sweetheart once, and the last thing you want is for it to fall flat. If you choose elopement, then let your imagination run wild and book that epic adventure.

• Check the marriage laws. The laws governing marriage in every country are a bit different, so if you're planning to travel overseas, make sure you check out what paperwork you need to do.

• Be selective. If you decide to bring guests along for the ride, choose your nearest and dearest – just those people you wouldn't dream of leaving out. The idea is to keep it minimal, and once you start, it's easy for the guest list to creep up.

And importantly – Capture the moments! Your photographer is a vital part of the crew on this exciting day. Be sure to choose someone you get along with as they'll be there for the whole ride to preserve those precious minutes for you to reminisce over.

If you are worried that your family will miss out on being apart of your wedding, a great option is to have a gathering at a later date and also have this photographed, this way your loved ones can still be apart of the process and you will get beautiful photos of all those that mean something to you.
