The Dream Book
Vintage Road Trip Elopement
Rather than one location, you get a route. We map three or four stops — a coastline, a diner, a mountain pass, a motel with a neon sign — and photograph the whole drive over two or three days. The ceremony happens wherever the light is best on the day you feel like doing it. Bring the car you love, or we will find one to rent.
What it could include
The shape of the day.
- Route design with photograph-worthy stops and drive-time reality checks
- Classic-car rental sourcing if you do not have one
- Multi-day shooting across the route, not a single session
- Motel, diner and roadside stop scouting
- Officiant coordination in the county you choose to marry in
- A route map and a keepsake itinerary
Everything above is a starting point, not a fixed package. Tess plans it and photographs it; you book the vendors she lines up, so you hold every contract.
The practical part
Where, when and roughly what.
- Ideal locationsHighway 101 and the Olympic Peninsula, the North Cascades Highway, Eastern Oregon, Route 66
- Ideal datesLate spring through early autumn, when the passes are open
- Guest countTwo, plus whoever fits in the back seat
- Approximate investmentStarting at $6,200
Approximate investment covers planning and photography. Vendors, permits and travel are quoted in writing before anything is signed.
