About

Golden Hour Elopements is an all-inclusive elopement company in the NC Triad offering planning, photography, videography, officiants, hair and makeup, flowers, cake, picnics, drinks, etc for small elopements with up to 10 guests. Leave the planning to us and focus on what is most important to you. We will help make your elopement joyful, magical, and "golden."

We are based near Winston-Salem, NC, and serve North Carolina and southern Virginia. Feel the sunshine on your skin and the breeze in your hair while you are hiking hand in hand with your lover during your mountain elopement. Dance through rows of grapevines at a North Carolina vineyard overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. Say your vows in a field of wildflowers and wild blueberries on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Get married at your Airbnb, in your own backyard, or at the local park. Bring your dog on your adventure elopement, go barefoot, and jump in a river afterward. Whatever you want to do, we will make it happen.

From secular to spiritual, our officiants will craft a custom ceremony that is meaningful and personal to you. Make your adventure wedding special and memorable. We will capture the sweetest moments for you to cherish forever.

Embark on this journey together with intention, romance, and fun. Be free! You can be your goofy selves without worrying about who is watching. Your wedding doesn't have to be a performance. Our elopement planning team will work behind the scenes to pull it all together for you so that you can just show up, be yourselves, and relish every moment of your "golden hour" elopement.

We also offer services for vow renewals, marriage proposals, adventure sessions, and engagement sessions. Elopement packages start at $2450 for 2 hours of photography, and we provide the officiant, bouquet, boutonniere, and we help with planning, helping you choose the best location and more to help you have a stress free, amazing elopement experience.

We do offer photography services for full weekend weddings as well, starting at $5400 for 8 hours with engagement session, 2nd photographer, and high resolution images included.

Perfect Planner

Jenny was amazing throughout the entire planning of our elopement. She was very communicative and reliable, even after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, she was right on top of Plan B and still delivered the Mountain View’s we wanted. The day of our wedding she was so helpful, prepared, fun and encouraging us during our photos. Our elopement was extra special because of Jenny and her dedication to making the whole process seamless for the bride and groom from beginning to end. Her services allowed us to focus on our covenant of marriage without any stress. I can’t give her enough stars to truly match how awesome she is! Thank you, Jenny, for making our elopement so magical.

Jenny is exceptional at her job. She is so sweet and very responsive. She went out of her way to do my Engagement Pics and 2 years later I am still in love with them and still get compliments on them. For the wedding, I knew I was in good hands and wasnt worried at all about the photos from the day. It unfortunately rained, but Jenny came up with some good ideas to still got lots of shots of the day! She was out in the pouring rain taking pictures and wasnt even phased by the rain. She does exceptional work and I will be sure to use her again and recommend her to everyone I know.

I can hardly put into words how easy and wonderful it was to work with Jenny Tenney and her team. She is so talented, and is one of those that makes it seem like it comes effortlessly! She was willing to direct us when we needed it, but also let us do whatever came naturally if that was working. She is a very dear person, in addition to being a great photographer. Thank you Jenny for capturing truly AMAZING photos of a very special time!!

Hiring Jenny was one of the best decisions, we made during the wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, she showed up snapping away and truly captured the personalities of our friends and families. We loved looking through her pictures and reliving the wedding. Her laid back personality makes her easy to work with. She is directive when needed, but for the most part she unobtrusively captures the moments of your special day. I would recommend her to anyone!

Will and I adored Jenny from the moment we met her in Greensboro to talk about our wedding photography. She was highly professional, yet such a joy to be around. Jenny's "eye" for a great shot and her style really set her apart from other photographers we had researched. She was just what we had envisioned for our wedding photos and she lived up to every standard exceptionally well. She was friendly, easy going, and of course talented! Our photos are some of the BEST I've ever seen. We've had so many compliments on them - everyone wants to know who our photographer was. Most importantly, though, Jenny captured our special day perfectly. We have looked through our photos over and over again and each time we are filled with joy remembering our wedding in Linville. Kudos to you, Jenny!

Jenny is awesome! We worked together on a wedding at Sarah P. Duke Gardens when I was coordinating weddings in North Carolina and the couple raved about her! She captured so many great moments of their special day! She was a joy to work alongside of for their wedding. She takes an interest in the couple and their personality and style and it shows with each shot.
