Adventurous & Intimate Elopement Inspiration

Share

A prehistoric lake bed in Nevada ended up being the gorgeous location for this elopement shoot from Forget Me Knot Events & Design and Kay Kroshus Photography. With the rocky landscape as their backdrop, they kept the decor limited to gorgeous blooms, a sweetheart table, and two dashing outfits to enhance the natural beauty around.

Each of the vendors brought their creative a-game to really make this elopement magical. Are you thinking about eloping? If so, prepare to be enchanted, and be sure to add Pyramid Lake to your location list. Get a closer look below, and in the full gallery.

Pyramid Lake, Nevada is biggest remnant of ancient Lake Lahontan, an inland sea that once covered the state of Nevada. The surrounding rock formations & how the color of the water changes based on the sky is what inspired this shoot that is full of grays, blues & touches of color to bring the surroundings to life.

intimate & adventurous

At this venue, you get to have a truly intimate & adventurous elopement that incorporates such a large part of history. While a lot of this shoot was elegant, we also got to have some fun with it all from the baby blue VW bug that the couple drove around in, to the gorgeous table linen that added unique texture to our tablescape.

the dress

The dress from Natalie Wynn Design was simple & intricate enough to really bring a feminine touch to a venue that was very masculine. It perfectly contrasted the setting & allowed us to tie in more bold details like the large bridal bouquet that hosted a variety of interesting colors & cascading ribbons. This shoot was a true expression of each vendors creativity & personalities.
