Let’s give some love to the sweet little courthouse elopements—because they’re fun, meaningful, and absolutely magical in every way. No giant guest list, ten-tier cake, or dance floor – but you won’t miss any of those things for even a split second. Because where a day like this doesn’t include all of those bells & whistles, what it does have is heart, intentionality, and a bold romantic intimacy.

There’s something beautiful about stripping it all down to the essentials: two people in love, a few signatures, and a whole lot of fun. Whether it’s just the two of you or you bring along a couple of your core humans, courthouse elopements are full of real, raw moments. They’re low-pressure, low-stress, and full of opportunity to make the day exactly how you want it. And even better when you choose an iconic place like the San Fransisco Courthouse – the architecture, lighting, & the vibes are BEYOND dreamy.

While we’re at it – let’s talk about style. There are no rules—wear a hot pink dress, a sleek jumpsuit, a crazy accessory, or whatever makes you feel amazing. After you say “I do,” you can grab lunch at your favorite local spot, pop champagne in the park, or head out for a sunset photo session. I’ve seen couples run through San Fransisco city streets laughing, sharing quiet kisses on the courthouse steps, or dancing under twinkle lights in their backyard later that night. It’s all special. It all counts. And the best part – you get to do it however YOU want. Throw the rules out the window.

Courthouse elopements are a reminder that the wedding isn’t the point—it’s the marriage is. THE LOVE. The commitment. The promise of forever. And that you don’t need anything more than that to make your wedding day unforgettable. So if you’re planning something small, or you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of a big wedding—this is your sign. Pick a date, a photographer, and plan the elopement. You won’t regret it. Scout’s honor. <3
