Family Pastor was able to get in touch with us on April 20, 2 days after paying the deposit. When called to let him now we wouldn't be needing him, was informed we would not get our deposit back. No refunds within 30 days of the ceremony. Meaning it didnt matter we had just booked 2 days ago, because we booked 26 days before the wedding, meant he would and did keep the entire deposit. Thanks Jim. With a small budget, paying for the wedding ourselves, we really could have used that money elsewhere.

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with this elopement company. From start…read moreto finish, everything was effortless and beautifully orchestrated. We chose to elope in Tennessee on the breathtaking Foothills Parkway, surrounded by our closest friends and family, and it was more perfect than we ever imagined. The team took care of every detail so we could truly just show up and focus on each other and the moment. The view was stunning--mountains stretching as far as the eye could see--and it created the most romantic, peaceful backdrop for our vows. What touched us most was how personal and stress-free the entire experience felt. No chaos, no pressure--just love and nature and the people who matter most to us. The photos we received were absolutely beautiful and captured every emotion of the day. We'll treasure them forever. If you're looking for a meaningful, simple, and unforgettable way to say "I do," this is it. Thank you for helping us begin our forever in such a magical way!

A bit unprofessional and not very kind. We had asked a few questions that I felt were relatively…read morenormal before officially booking with this place and the owner said we wouldn't be a good fit with zero explanation. From the website, this looked like an incredible experience and a great cost within reason for what we were looking for. The owner texted us directly about booking and we asked if we could set up a consultation, she said no, that she only handles things via email because of her busy personal life, which is totally okay and we respected that. I let her know that we would send some questions over via email and she can get back to us whenever she has time, that there was no rush on it. (We're planning an elopement in 2026) I sent several questions that we could think of based on the elopement guide she provided and her website & facebook page. Also with the help of googling "what should I ask my elopement photographer" because I had no idea what to ask for the most part. Instead of answering any questions we asked, all she replied with was that based on the questions we asked, we wouldn't be a good fit. Trying to understand and plan an elopement is hard enough when you have no idea what you're doing but companies like this seem to make it harder. Wouldn't recommend. :(

Well the good news is our paperwork was filed by Hannah and we received our marriage certificate…read moreand all is well. However, we were a bit disappointed that when it came time for us to exchange rings during our 10 minute ceremony, Hannah did not know our names, or have them written down. She had to ask each of us what our names were mid-ceremony. We are pretty lighthearted people so we laughed it off and didn't make a huge deal out of it at the time. Then, when the short ceremony was over and she went to announce us as Mr. & Mrs......she did not know our last name and again had to interrupt the ceremony to ask us. We totally understand that mistakes happen and we aren't all bent out of shape about it but for $250 for such a short ceremony I feel knowing our names during the ceremony should be priority #1. UPDATE - I had given Hannah a generous 3 star review on a wedding vendor review site. Unfortunately she responded in a way that seemed to cast the blame on myself and my wife for her not knowing our names. From her response: "I did approach you prior to the ceremony to introduce myself and see if you had any last minute questions or concerns. You were not interested in speaking with me and walked off. Possibly a short conversation would have made your name more prominent in my mind." This quote is mind-boggling and its down right shameful . I guess its our fault that we didn't ask you if you remember our names after you accepted our $250 payment for 10 minutes of work. I stood and spoke with you for at least five to ten minutes at the altar prior to the ceremony. The fact that you are blaming us for your lack of professionalism is pathetic.
