So why am I here and why do I do what I do?
•
Hey friends! I’m Miki and I’m the photographer behind Venturing Vows! I’m here for all your adventure elopement photography needs. Getting people to elope is more than just my business. It’s a passion project for me to create true-to-you wedding experiences. Even if you never hire me, I hope my posts and information will empower you to ditch the traditional wedding for a day you’ll truly love. I’m here because I think people should expect more out of their wedding day than the cookie cutter day thousands of others have had.
•
I made the choice to elope myself. I’m a private person that feels more at home exploring than anywhere else. Standing in a building with 100+ people didn’t sound like what was supposed to be my best day ever. We ended up eloping on an Oregon Coast beach with our immediate family and best friends. It was the best choice we could’ve made.
•
When I got to experience my customized day after endless traditional weddings, I realized just how much people were missing out on. Their perfect wedding was in reach but no one had told them there was another way. So here I am now, trying to spread the word that there’s another way.
•
My goals and purpose are so much more than snapping photos in pretty places. It’s pushing back against decades of wedding culture. Saying no the wedding industry that has turned your love into a way to make thousands off of you. Creating a wedding experience that fills your soul instead of being socially acceptable. Taking back your day to celebrate your love rather than a guest entertainment experience.
•
You get one day like this, make sure it’s everything you’ve ever wanted.

Have you ever thought about what energy you want your wedding day to have? How do you want it to feel?
•
Traditional weddings tend to be exhilarating, busy, and fast paced. For some, this is great. For others, wildly exhausting.
•
What kind of person are you?
•
If a traditional wedding sounds exhausting, why would that be the wedding you pick? Your day can be quiet, slow, and peaceful. It can revolve around connecting with your partner and maybe even a few special friends or family members. It can be a day that fills you up instead of one that drains every bit of social capacity you have.
•
Next time you’re filling your Pinterest board with ideas, remember how important it is for your day to FEEL right. To feel harmonious with your relationship and what this special day means to you.
