Is it possible to plan a super last-minute elopement (we're talking less than a week) in Las Vegas and still have everything go according to plan, even during a global pandemic? YES! Emily and Casey ditched their large wedding in Mexico for something more their speed and more like them. They traveled in their van from Utah with their two pups and high-tailed it to Vegas!

Hannah and Wataru’s wabi sabi elopement in Joshua Tree, CA.

The couple originally wanted to elope however, ended up planning a larger wedding for their family’s sake. "When Covid hit and we had to postpone our June wedding, we decided that we would take an unfortunate situation and make a perfect opportunity to get creative; finding ways to create a formal feel with a non-traditional approach." The couple decided to have a virtual wedding and stream their ceremony to loved ones, while only having four close friends present. "With all the virtual weddings and us just wanting to get married, we took a hold of the opportunity by recruiting a handful of friends to help us plan. Many parts of our day were spontaneous.”
