FAQ
WHO ARE GOOSEBERRY ELOPEMENT PACKAGES FOR?
Gooseberry elopement packages are for any couple who wants to celebrate their story and stay away from a lot of traditional wedding elements.
Elopement sessions include an opportunity to exchange vows privately (just to the two of you and do the paperwork later), a dreamy, editorial photo experience in spectacular settings (lakeside, vast fields, historic buildings) and a beautifully styled picnic to enjoy afterwards.
Gooseberry elopement packages have all the trimmings of a gorgeous, elevated day without the stress of throwing a wedding. Come away with an album of memories.
At Gooseberry romantic means unabashed and a little undone. It means hair blowing freely in the wind. It means laughing so hard champagne might come out of your nose. It means running and twirling and playing together for the pure joy of it -- and escaping expectations so you can fully embrace moments big enough for two. Elopement sessions are about empowering couples to celebrate their love story on their own terms.
Let's chat and create a session that suits you as beautifully as a couture gown.
