Hey there! Welcome to How to Elope Instead of a Wedding—a little corner of the internet dedicated to helping you say “I do” your way. I’m Kamden Perez, and I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re dreaming of a mountaintop vow exchange, a quiet beach ceremony, or just a simple moment with the one you love, this space is all about celebrating love without the fuss of a traditional wedding.
I started this journey because I believe love doesn’t need a big production to be real—it just needs you, your partner, and a moment that feels true. Eloping isn’t about running away; it’s about running toward what matters most. After years of seeing friends and family stress over seating charts, guest lists, and skyrocketing costs, I realized there’s a better way—a way that’s intimate, intentional, and honestly, a lot more fun.
Here, we’re all about practical tips, heartfelt inspiration, and real stories to guide you through planning an elopement that’s as unique as your love story. From finding the perfect location to navigating the legal stuff, I’ve got your back. My goal? To make your elopement feel effortless, meaningful, and totally you.
When I’m not writing about love and adventure, you’ll probably find me chasing sunsets, sipping coffee with my favorite person, or dreaming up my next getaway. I’d love to hear about your elopement plans—drop me a note, and let’s make your day unforgettable, together.
Here’s to love, freedom, and saying “I do” on your own terms!
