Elopements are all about creating a day that is uniquely yours, and Briane and Jacob did just that with their stunning and colorful elopement in one of the wonders of West Virginia. Traveling from New Jersey, the couple chose our magical home in the hills because it was where Briane had proposed (and then the next day, Jacob re-proposed) during a romantic weekend getaway a few years prior. Wanting to explore somewhere new, they chose the town of Davis, Thomas, and Blackwater Falls as the setting of their private elopement.

For Kendra and Austin, the decision to elope privately was driven by their desire to focus solely on their love and commitment. While they planned a wedding reception a few months later to celebrate with friends and family, their elopement day was all about them. Despite a bit of initial pushback from family members who wished to be part of the ceremony, the couple remained steadfast in their decision, knowing that this was the perfect way to begin their married life together. Thankfully, understanding and support from their loved ones soon followed, allowing Kendra and Austin to enjoy their special day without any lingering concerns.

Ashley and Paul's elopement at Dolly Sods was a masterclass in intimate elegance and natural beauty. Nestled in the rugged wilderness of West Virginia, Dolly Sods offered the perfect backdrop for their special day, with its stunning vistas and early fall colors providing an idyllic setting for their vows and celebration.

This couple reached out to us last year about our all-inclusive elopement packages on the East Coast. We gladly arranged for a fall elopement date at our favorite location in West Virginia, Dolly Sods. We helped Mariah and Ben plan and execute their autumn microwedding at Dolly Sods in WV, where the sun was shining and the air felt cool and warm at the same time. This intimate, yet slightly scrambled (see below) elopement was a magical evening in Appalachia, where Mother Nature shared her venue with us to turn M + B’s elopement dreams into a reality.

Spruce Knob was a popular choice for elopements this year, and for good reason. As the highest point in WV, the scenic mountain views and ethereal feelings of being in another land, it truly is the perfect backdrop for an intimate wedding in West Virginia.

If you’re new around here, our elopement collective features an all-inclusive elopement package that includes photography, videography, officiant, planning, and a private reception. We primarily serve West Virginia, but gladly take on travel elopements in National Parks or other stunning landscapes across the US.
