What exactly does it mean to elope?
But as the wedding industry has developed, “elopement” has begun to take on new meaning. What was once a taboo trend is becoming a new way of getting married. It’s no longer a rebellious, secretive decision. Instead, it’s a way to free yourself from pressure of performance, ditch the “shoulds,” and celebrate in a way that’s 100% true to YOU.
A true reflection of your relationship
+ Intimate 25 person wedding on a breathtaking mountainside
+ Just the two of them (plus officiant and photographer) in the desert of Nevada
+ A family-only wedding on a Pacific coast shoreline
There’s so much more to your love story than just an hour or two of celebrations.
When we photograph couples, we’re not just posing you, taking a few pictures, and going home. We’re photographing your story, with all its history, depth, and nuance. Your story deserves so much more than “just some pictures.”
We always encourage our couples to extend their elopements over several days. Forget the quick exchange of vows. Why not turn it into a vacation, where you explore the city together? Having a picnic on the mountain the next day, going on a special hike, exploring the city’s culture and architecture, or taking some time to kayak in the springs?
When you extend it over a few days, you truly turn it into a slow, relaxing, blissful celebration. Where all you have to do is simply be with each other, in the moment, and let the escape from reality last as long as you want it to.
Benefits of having a multi-day elopement
2 – Being able to fully relax while you get ready, especially if the exchange of vows is the next day
3 – Turning your elopement into a true vacation, not just a quick overnight getaway
Why Elope?
The Rocker In Love Adventure Session
Regardless of how you structure your wedding, your elopement package comes with a next day Adventure Session. There’s always a special magic you feel the day you wake up as newlyweds. If your family joined your ceremony, this day is just the two of you. If you eloped alone, you’ll start to feel the subtle changes: falling deeper in love, finding your partner even more beautiful, even more wonderful than you already do.
We’ll come alongside you for another adventure and photograph what this looks like for you.
A lot of times, with elopements, your photographer is the only “vendor” you’ll have. You need to work with someone who can take ownership and guide you through the planning and the event itself.
We double as elopement planners and guides, here to help you create a custom celebration that’s 100% true to your personality. We’re always available to help answer questions and to offer logistical support and advice throughout the process, so your elopement is something you’ll never forget.
+ how to structure the timeline of the elopement itself
+ finding a place to elope
+ helping you figure out what you should bring on a hike
+ incorporating songs or other special details into the ceremony
+ helping you decide whether to go full glam or subtle makeup
+ planning the perfect lighting and locations

“Their work simply cannot be matched!”
Grasi and Dani could be found everywhere capturing the most important moments, with Otto pitching in on shots as well. From the family photos before our ceremony, to the shots taken on the dance floor, to the photo shoot the following day, we could not have asked for a better experience with these photographers. Grasi and Dani’s creativity and talent comes through in the pictures in absolute brilliance. Their work simply cannot be matched!

“Felt comfortable”
We have looked through all of our photos from the love session and the wedding and are absolutely amazed. The amount of professionalism and skill shown not only by dani and grasi but by their son otto as well shines through in their photography. As two people that characterize ourselves as awkward in front of a camera, we felt comfortable and cared for by rocker in love.
On the day of the wedding, grasi and dani made it a point to keep things calm and low-pressure, to the point where there are pictures we received we don’t remember them being there to take! they blended in and captured genuine memories rather than just photos from the day. We recommend our friends at rocker in love to anyone looking for artistic, unique photos to remember the best day of their life!

“So fun”
So fun and so professional. gave us truly unique shots, and we loved that it was a family affair. Everyone felt so comfortable in front of the camera! They were a recommendation from our wedding planner and we love that it was a family roadtripping across the country to get wedding photos! They are the best, couldn’t imagine a better experience or better photos!
