If this bohemian and woodsy lakeside elopement isn’t proof that you don’t have to head to the Dolomites or Yosemite to have a stunning elopement experience…

Then I simply don’t know what is.

Lily got ready inside the perfectly styled glamping tent while Kyle waited for her outside for their first look together. And tucked away at an incredible lakeside Airbnb in North Georgia, Lily and Kyle exchanged their vows beside a small lake with vibrant autumn leaves surrounding them like a golden cloak. They spent the evening rowing around the lake together, and Kyle had to get in a few shots of the bride for himself on her film camera. 

The beauty of this day was in its simplicity and intentionality.

They had all the time in the world to do exactly what they wanted, how they wanted. Instead of spending a wedding budget on feeding over a hundred guests, the attention was put into the details of their wedding day. From choosing the ideal Airbnb getaway, to sourcing a team of incredible vendors. 

So even if you don’t want to go halfway across the world to marry the love of your life, don’t think for a second that your elopement experience won’t be perfect and swoon-worthy. In fact, these two didn’t even leave their home state! 

Eloping is about staying true to who you are as a couple. It’s about reclaiming the core values of why your wedding day matters, and putting that into action in a way that feels authentic and natural. Not about how adventurous you are or how far you traveled to say “I do”.
