How do I know how much photography coverage I'll need?
First up is a kick-ass photographer of course. A florist, hair & makeup artists, officiant, event designers, planners (unless photographer helps), cater, accommodation, activities, transportation and unique services. Before you pick a date make sure it's far enough in advance to plan ahead and find the people you want to book. Step one is booking a photographer and or planner up to 15 months before!!
What vendors may I need for my elopement?
No... but... yes!!! There are some spots you can drive up to and enjoy. However, those spots are usually more populated and less private. Most super epic spots require a bit of a hike. There are plenty awesome choices where no hiking is needed but that means there will be more chance for people being there too. It's about how you feel when your "IN" your experience anyways.
Do you have to hike to get to cool spots?
