Something we are seeing a lot of, and low-key cannot get enough of, are elopement weddings in National Parks! Adventurous couples are seeking for ways to show off that side of them in their wedding day, and why shouldn’t they? It is your day after all! So, we are here to give some tips and ideas for you that will hopefully help a little on how to pull this amazingly unique wedding idea! First off, RESEARCH! If you are planning on getting married at a national or state park do your due diligence and research the rules and restrictions of said park. Sometimes they are closed or doing maintenance, or they are holding events already. You do not want to show up to your wedding day with a bunch of boy scouts camping on the perfect nuptial spot you picked out, right? Second, get a permit if necessary. If you love the outdoors so much, that you want to get married there, follow the rules. Permits are used in order ensure the maintenance and exclusivity of the park, the money goes into keeping the park clean and useable for others in the future. Besides, do you want to show up to your wedding day and get kicked out because you didn’t spend the money on the permit? For the most part permits are pretty cheap (within $50-200), which is WAY cheaper than a venue space elsewhere anyway...

Now the fashion! (Our personal favorite part of any wedding, besides an open bar.) Your setting will dictate your elopement photo style in many ways. For this specific elopement wedding in the mountains of Utah, we felt the majestic mountains deserved a majestic tuxedo. Our velvet tuxedo looks bold, yet also very organic for the location. Next to the bride’s deep plum dress, we love how the styling turned out. Just because you are getting married outside, that does not mean you only have to wear a vest, slacks, and rolled up sleeves, but you can wear a tuxedo, or a bold color like our cobalt blue or even our new green suit. This can bring personality to your wedding and create some pretty amazing pictures. Don’t believe us? Take a look at this elopement shoot and try to tell us that the velvet tuxedo doesn’t look perfect for the setting… we’ll wait.
