Elope or Renew Your Vows

Elope or Renew Your Vows. A ceremony for the two of you, the photographer, a witness and any guests. I'll go anywhere you'd like to celebrate. 

We work together to create your ceremony, including any special aspects, such as a sand ceremony.  Optional help with planning reduces stress. I give a joyful and heartfelt performance.

I'll be available to help you choose the perfect spot and sort out the details, like photographers, marriage license and local information.

Your custom ceremony celebrates the two of you. How and where you want.

Written to your spiritual and personal preferences, the ceremony will capture the essence of your love and unify your relationship. Write your own vows, see examples, have me help or write them for you.  

Want a special element? Hand binding, unity knot, sand ceremony, or tree planting. We can also create something unique that's perfect for the two of you.

Concierge Service (optional)

Concierge Service includes information on locations, photographers, marriage license, vows, services and travel. Plus, local insights, last minute updates and more. It includes access to the Planning Resources page on this website and Q&A with Paul.  Helping make your planning easy. Reducing stress in decision making.
