Elopement packages for couples who want to color outside the lines and create their own traditions

What is an elopement wedding?

Even though Covid has made elopements more popular, there is still some misconception when it comes to the definition of an elopement. You don’t have to run away from home as young kids to elope. Gone are the days of an elopement being some hush-hush shameful thing. It’s also so much more than just going down to the courthouse and getting married in five minutes.

Elopements offer couples the chance to have an intentional, intimate experience that allows them to focus more on what the day is really about, EACH OTHER, and less on the stress of creating a day for their family and friends. But don’t worry, you can still 100% find a way to include your family and friends if that’s what is important to you! While traditions are great, eloping means that you’re totally allowed to throw away the rule book when it comes to your wedding day.

So, elopements don’t have to be a secret? Nope, only if you want it to be! Do we have to go to Las Vegas and get married by Elvis? Again, no. You don’t have to, but you certainly can if that’s the vision you have for your wedding day. You could elope in your backyard, right here in Kentucky. Or on a secluded trail near a waterfall in Tennessee. The options are limitless! Choose something that’s meaningful to you and your significant other.

Looking for traditional wedding pricing?

Eloping takes the stress out of planning a wedding.

Sometimes a wedding can feel like a performance for your family and friends. What if you want to write vows for your partner that the rest of the world doesn’t hear? An elopement gives you the chance to do just that. The worries and stress of all of the craziness of life melt away and it’s just you and the love of your life, looking into each other’s eyes having a truly intimate wedding experience, while you commit your lives to each other.

There’s nothing wrong with a traditional wedding, but if you’re not into working on seating charts and spending thousands of dollars on a big venue, that perfectly OK. You shouldn’t have to! Planning your elopement should be FUN, and I love nothing more than helping couples plan their perfect day.

No two elopements should be exactly alike.

This is YOUR story, not anyone else’s, so your day should be a completely customized for you experience, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Hey there! I’m Korey.

I’m thrilled to see that you’re considering eloping! You know what? I ditched the traditional wedding too, so I bring firsthand experience to the table, as a bride! My husband and I just weren’t feeling it with the traditional wedding planning. We love to hike, and he even proposed to me in Sedona, AZ on the top of Cathedral Rock!

We live in Western Kentucky, but decided to have a hiking elopement in Idaho in 2021. We both love everything about “out west” so that’s how we started to narrow it down, but weren’t exactly sure which state. We started looking on Pinterest and Instagram for elopement destinations, and elopement photos, and when we saw pictures of McCall, Idaho, it just FELT RIGHT. Had we ever been to Idaho before? Nope. But, we’re pretty random, and last minute road trips have kind of been our thing since we met, so it was perfectly US. We hiked to a lake in our wedding attire, built a fire because it started snowing! Exchanged vows, ate donuts and danced on a giant rock. We couldn’t be happier in our decision to elope and ditch the formal wedding!

Not “just” a photographer.

I’m here to be your elopement photographer, guide, and biggest supporter! I want to help you find that special place that feels just right too! If you know the perfect location for you, that’s awesome! But, if you’re having a hard time narrowing it down, that’s what I’m here for! My elopement photography packages include help with elopement destinations, elopement planning, and an elopement wedding day timeline.

Schedule a phone call with me so we can chat about what your elopement day could look like!

I also offer my non-religious officiant services as an ordained minister of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And yes, that’s a real thing!

Korey is a pleasure to work with! She did our wedding and family photos! She is so sweet and kind! She is very timely on getting back your photos. I can’t speak highly enough of her!!

SO, JUST WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU HIRE KOREY NUNLEY PHOTOGRAPHY?

Location Scouting

From vows to views! Elopements are about the journey and the destination, and I’m all in for both! After we discuss what you’re looking for in a location, I will use my travel expertise to put together a highly customized list of locations for you to choose from. If you’re doing a hiking elopement, I will also research specific trails in the area, based on your experience, and provide you with elevation and mileage info so that you can choose the perfect trail for you.

Elopement Planning Assistance

Planning an elopement is no small feat, but with my help, it’s a breeze. I’m here for you throughout the entire process! Whether it’s finding unique activities that resonate with your love story or navigating the paperwork for permits, I’ve got your back. Your elopement will become a masterpiece or passion, adventure, and love.

Photography Coverage of Your Day

You’re eloping to avoid the stress and rigid feeling that a traditional wedding day can bring, so the last thing that I’m going to do is make you feel like you’re at a photoshoot. I walk a line between being a fly on the wall but also giving you a few prompts here and there. My main goal is to capture your unique story and document the genuine emotion of your day.

An Online Gallery

Your online gallery is not just about pixels on a screen, it’s a gateway to tangible memories. It provides you with the option to turn your favorite shots into prints, albums, and more. Your love story deserves to be held in your hands and displayed proudly, and your online gallery makes this possible.

Optional Officiant Services

I’m an ordained minister with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and offer my very non-traditional, non-religious style of officiating, where applicable. Your elopement is a declaration of your commitment and I’m here to make sure that it’s done in a way that feels right for you, allowing you to celebrate your unique bond without any restrictions.

My Travel Fees are Included

No hidden travel costs. Your elopement is a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and I want you to savor every moment. By including travel fees, I make sure that your entire adventure is as seamless as possible. From the moment you embark on your elopement journey to the final “I do,” I’m dedicated to making it unforgettable, without the burden of unexpected travel expenses.

Customized Packing List

If you’re choosing to do a hiking elopement, I’ll send you a customized guide with recommendations on what items to pack for your adventure. From sturdy hiking boots to weather-appropriate attire, I’m here to ensure that you’re adventure-ready without the stress of endless pacing decisions. It’s about creating an elopement adventure that’s tailored to you, from the clothes on your back to the boots on your feet.

Leave No Trace Guide

I’m passionate about respecting the land and will send you a downloadable guide that’s designed to help you plan an elopement that’s both environmentally friendly and unforgettable. By following the principles of LNT, we can help to ensure that you’ll be able to return to your elopement location in 5-10 years to renew your wedding vows.

Sneak Peeks Within 24-48 Hours

I know you’ll be excited to see your photos, and believe me, I’m JUST as excited for you to see them! The sneak peaks that I provide give you the perfect opportunity to share the first chapters of your love story with your family and friends so that your memories can become a shared experience. It’s a way to say “We’re celebrating, and you’re part of it.” It’s a testament to the power of love and the bonds that connect us all.

WHY WOULD I WANT A FULL DAY OF COVERAGE FOR MY ELOPEMENT WEDDING DAY?

Your wedding day is YOUR SPECIAL DAY, and it’s 100% as much your wedding day as a traditional wedding. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re selling yourself short by deciding to elope. You can still have it all, and have every second of your day documented! Who doesn’t want EPIC wedding photos to cherish forever and ever?

When I say documented, my main role is to capture all of the details of your intimate, candid moments during your elopement. Remember, there is no rulebook here, we’re tossing that aside. You don’t have to worry about “performing” for family and friends and making sure that you’re doing everything in the correct order. There is no rehearsal. Your love for each other is at center stage. We’ll come up with a personalized elopement timeline for your day, doing what is important to both of you, whether that involves hiking, cycling, ice skating, dancing at the base of a waterfall, picnicking on the beach…. I’ll be there to guide you as much or as little as you’d like throughout your adventurous day.
