This podcast is for couples who want high peaks, real adventure, and a fun-ass elopement day — without the audience or the bullshit. If it's not a hell yes, it's a no. This is where we break down what actually matters when planning a hell-yes elopement in a practical, honest, and unfiltered way. Hey, I'm your host, Emily from Emily Belanger Photography, an Adirondack-based elopement photographer and planner in Upstate New York. I help badass couples plan life-changing, adventure-filled elopements in the mountains, and I'll be sharing real, unfiltered advice from years of exploring, planning, and photographing elopements out here. We'll talk about locations that actually feel secluded, how to choose hikes that match your comfort level, what permits and rules matter and which ones don't, how to build a timeline that doesn't feel rushed, and how to avoid turning your elopement into a performance. We'll also talk through the stuff that usually gets skipped over — weather, crowds, accessibility, family pressure, and why having a guide who doesn't hold back is a hell-yes decision. Because you want a day that feels alive and aligned with who you are. So let's make that happen, chasing high peaks and low bullshit. more

How do you tell friends and family that you're eloping? What does an elopement actually look like? What's the deal with marriage licenses? What if our parents want to be involved in the elopement?Those are a few of the questions we'll answer as we break down elopements piece-by-piece. There is no right or wrong - that's the beauty of eloping. But that can also make it stressful, because there's no cookie cutter pattern to follow! Unlike weddings, you probably don't have dozens of friends who have eloped, and you probably haven't attended many elopements (because, well, you most likely weren't invited).We have been involved in MANY elopements, so hopefully our experience can shed some light into the aspects that we often take for granted, but you may have never thought of before.Questions about elopements?
