I photograph a lot of wedding ceremonies and engagement sessions — 35 a year o.O — and that means I get to see a lot of cool places that would be perfect for a wedding ceremony. Sometimes these are well known spots, and other times they are off the beaten path.

Elopements are great because you can go anywhere you like. Choose a location that is special to the two of you or find a beautiful spot just big enough to exchange vows. If you are thinking about eloping follow this blog series to get some great elopement location ideas!

Courthouses aren’t the only place to host your elopement! These two rented an Airbnb (this one to be exact: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21958504) and it was perfect! Several Airbnb’s allow you to host events in their homes and this place has a finished basement, perfect for hiding away before the big moment.

Here is an excerpt from the listings website:

Log cabin hidden off the beaten path close to Purdue University! Great for get away, family gathering, or a day away from the city! Great for weddings as it’s on 3.5 acres.

The space

This custom log cabin is now featuring a finished basement! With hand made furniture and only the best amenities money can buy! I hope you love your stay with Giles Brothers vacation rentals. Call anytime with questions!

Other things to note

Only 8 miles from prophets town state park And water park! And only 9 miles from Purdue campus!

Whether or not you choose to have a big wedding or a small wedding, I would love to document your day. Many opt to elope on a weekday which means discounts from many of your vendors (me included). Send me a message if you are interested. I’d love to help you plan your perfect wedding ceremony in any way that I can :)
