Backyard Elopements: yay or nay ???

It is a renewed, and forced trend...but I can't say I'm disappointed with the opportunity to work with couples super closely and create beautiful days that are perfectly suited to their style.
So, are you a fan of this renewed trend?
​Yay or Nay???

surprise, a backyard elopement with close friends

This past year of weddings has been a bit of a crazy ride (understatement of the year, I know!).  We have had couples choose to postpone, and couples choose to go ahead with a smaller event,  and couples who have chosen this intimate elopement style!
