Hey! I'm oshen!

everything you need to know to plan your epic elopement:

I use the term elopement pretty loosely around here because I don't believe that celebrating your love should have guidelines. Elopements are choosing to celebrate your love in an intentional + intimate way that doesn't fit into the traditional way of doing things.

Typically speaking, you'll hear folks describe it as this: intimate or micro weddings are usually 15-35 people and elopements are anything smaller than that. I focus on the more intimate stories because that's where my heart is at. Your day should be about cherishing the little in-between moments and the intentional down to earth vibe that intimate celebrations hold. I truly believe that love is an adventure, so why not kick things off right and go wild? Whether that means hiking to a ceremony location in the mountains or eloping at the Washington coast; as your adventure guru I'll help you every step of the way. No matter how big or little you think your adventure might be, I'm 100% here for it.

what is an adventure elopement anyway?

it doesn't matter if you want to hike 5 miles or walk 50 feet, it's your adventure.
