Molly & Matt decided to elope in the same location where they had their first date and engagement. They rented a huge house where everyone stayed. They got ready in different rooms so we could do a first look with them before the ceremony. It was a location we had to reach by offroading which they totally loved doing. Rented Jeeps for themselves and their family members and made everyone follow to the location which was about 1 hour out. We had a ceremony in a gorgeous location and then headed a little lower to have a toast and some snacks. Afterwards the family went to a restaurant to keep the celebration going!
