Small weddings and elopements are a great way to celebrate your wedding. Compared to traditional weddings, they are more intimate and intentional. Having fewer guests means less stress, less cost and less planning! Elopements are authentic and meaningful. Whether you decide to go to a destination with an epic backdrop, an intimate backyard ceremony or a courthouse in town, the beginning of your forever deserves to be captured.

When you elope in Texas, your wedding is all about the two of you and no one else! You get to focus on your love and commitment to one another without having to worry about planning logistics or worrying about what everyone else thinks. It's just you and your partner—and that's all that matters!
It can be more intimate and meaningful.
If you love beautiful backdrops, Texas has plenty. From the beaches of Port Aransas to the Hill Country with its rolling hills and cacti, there are endless possibilities for your special day.
Your photos will be amazing.
The third reason to elope in Texas is that it's less stressful for the couple. A lot of people think that a wedding is supposed to be this big production, but when you're planning your own wedding and not paying someone else to do it, the stress can be unbearable. You really don't need all the stress of a traditional wedding on top of everything else you're stressing about! If you want something simple and easy with no headaches, then eloping in Texas is definitely your best bet.
It's less stressful.
It's no secret that weddings can be expensive. The average wedding cost in the U.S. rose to over $30,000 in 2017—and that's not including the honeymoon! Eloping is a great way to save money on your wedding day. By choosing this option, you'll have more cash saved for an extravagant honeymoon or other travel adventures after you get married.
You save money.
One of the best reasons to elope in Texas is because you can explore a new place. Texas has hundreds of cities, towns, and villages that offer beautiful backdrops for your wedding day. Whether you're looking for a trendy locale like downtown Austin (which is home to over 150 breweries) or something with a view like the hill country, there are plenty of options out there for you.
There are also countless national parks throughout the state that make incredible venues for nuptials. Big Bend National Park should be at the top of your list if you're interested in exploring nature while getting married—the landscape is truly breathtaking!
You can explore a new place.
Something about eloping in Texas feels like the ultimate romantic gesture. Maybe it's the fact that everything is bigger and better here, or maybe it's because Texans are so friendly and accommodating. Whatever it is, we've got five reasons why you should consider eloping in Texas for your big day!
