About
SO MANY PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES ACCORDING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS...
And that's bullshit. Especially on your wedding day.
You and your relationship is unique in every way, and it's BS that the wedding industry puts us in boxes that we just aren't born to fit in. You were born to stand out.
I'm Sam, a TEDx speaker, author, and adventure elopement expert. I'm here to make sure you don't half-ass your elopement day because that's what the world is telling you to do.
Think about this: What makes you, you? I'm betting part of it includes your passions, your desires, your dreams, the places you want to see and the things you want to do. Then ask yourself why your elopement day shouldn't include exactly that.
My couples use that empowerment to create a one-of-a-kind elopement day to transform the rest of their lives.
