You’ve been thinking about skipping the big wedding for something more “you”, haven’t you?
Maybe it started as a quiet idea—just the two of you, somewhere beautiful, doing things your way. No production. No stress. Just presence, connection, and joy.
That’s exactly what eloping allows. And in the heart of the DMV, you’ve got two incredible backdrops to choose from: the timeless charm of Washington, DC, or the sweeping mountain views of Shenandoah National Park.
Let me show you what it could look like...

Picture This
You're standing beneath the cherry blossoms in DC. The sun’s peeking through, lighting up the petals as you exchange vows steps away from history.
Or maybe you’re catching your breath on a rocky overlook in Shenandoah, golden hour pouring over the ridgelines below. It’s quiet. Just the birds, the wind, and the love of your life standing right in front of you.
You don’t need a ballroom or a big audience to make it real. You just need a moment that feels like you.
If the idea of forest trails, quiet mornings, and mountaintop vows has your heart doing little flips, Shenandoah is your kind of magic. Just a couple hours from DC, this national park gives you the space to breathe, explore, and say “I do” surrounded by nature’s best work.
Whether you’re up for a short, scenic hike or a full-day adventure, I’ll help you find the perfect overlook or trail. And yes—there are plenty that don’t require climbing in your wedding dress (unless that’s your thing, of course).
Shenandoah is for the couples who want to slow down, unplug, and be completely present with each other.
Top Shenandoah Elopement Locations:
- Blackrock Summit – Easy hike, dramatic rock formations
- Stony Man Trail – Peaceful and perfect for sunset portraits
- Big Meadows – Dreamy fields and wildflowers in late spring
- Skyline Drive – Dozens of epic overlooks just steps from the car
- Dark Hollow Falls – A romantic waterfall tucked into the woods

DC is full of hidden gems, peaceful parks, and landmark backdrops that make your photos look like they came straight out of a love story. And bonus? It’s easy to access, filled with amazing food spots for a post-vow bite, and absolutely stunning in every season.
I’ll help you time things perfectly—like catching sunrise at the Lincoln Memorial before the tourists show up, or finding a quiet corner in the National Cathedral gardens for your first look. Want to wander through Georgetown’s cobblestone alleys or toast with espresso martinis on a rooftop bar after? Done and done.
DC gives you modern romance, classic elegance, and a place to make your own chapter in the middle of history.
Favorite DC Elopement Spots:
- The Tidal Basin during cherry blossom season
- Constitution Gardens at sunrise
- The Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral
- The charming streets of Capitol Hill
- The National Gallery or Library of Congress for dramatic, artistic vibes
