We require a minimum of seven years experience from our photographers and they must provide exceptional, high quality work in order to serve on the Blue Sky team. Our style is photojournalistic--meaning you won't be placed in stiff poses, but will be allowed to simply be yourselves as our photographers capture your personality as a couple.

I can not express how amazing our experience with Blue Sky Elopements was! I first want to thank Maureen, Jeremy, and their fabulous team! Everything was beyond our expectations! Not only are they very responsive and professional but they made it a breeze and totally stress free! All we had to do was show up! The flowers were beautiful, the location and ceremony were stunning, and my hair and makeup turned out perfect! If I could give them a higher rating I would because they deserve it! If you are looking for the BEST elopement experience do yourself a favor and book through Blue Sky!!!! Our photographer was the best and the pictures turned out stunning! Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!
I would highly recommend Blue Sky Elopements to others who want a memorable, stress free elopement in California. Even when we had to change the date and ceremony location due to the pandemic, they made it stress free. Maureen was quick to provide us with alternate locations, and she helped us select a beautiful redwood location. We appreciated the consistent communication and organization throughout the whole process. From the very beginning Maureen and her team did a great job at letting us know what to expect and made sure all of our questions were answered. All of the vendors they picked for us were very professional and great to work with including the photographer, officiant, and hair/makeup artist. The flowers were also beautiful. We want to thank everyone involved in making our elopement such a special day.
Maureen Thomson was invaluable in planning our small wedding during the Covid-19 pandemic. Her years of experience and professionalism were evident and reassuring in that we knew that all the details and contingencies were covered, including the weather watch in the days and hours prior to our outdoor ceremony on the California coast. In addition, Maureen went above and beyond her obligations by communicating our schedule with the chef who was planning our post-wedding dinner in a private residence. We highly recommend Maureen and Blue Sky Elopements!
My now husband and I (still weird to say) Just eloped in May. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Maureen was so attentive to how I wanted everything to be and I didn’t have to do any planning myself so it was very stress free. We started this process pre-covid and ended it as vaccinations in CA were up so everything worked out and was beautiful and stress free. I am definitely a planner and have anxiety so this was the best route for us so intimate and beautiful we will have a small reception later this year but our actual ceremony and time during this elopement was unforgettable, special and truly magical. 10/10 recommend.
If you’re looking for a truly stress free wedding experience, I would highly recommend using Blue Sky Elopements. We decided to elope where we had never been before, which is a huge risk, but everything was a success thanks to Blue Sky Elopements. Maureen was a pleasure to work with and was extremely responsive and helpful.
I am so happy and thankful we used Blue Sky Elopements for our Telluride, Colorado micro-wedding. They made our big day so stress-free and easy, we were able to truly enjoy it!
...but planning a wedding--even a small one--from a distance can be a daunting task--especially if you have other things on your plate (like a job, family commitments, your relationship and...you know... having a life!
We've been putting together creative, fun and memorable elopements since 2002 (yes, even before the pandemic made eloping the new black!). We focus exclusively on weddings with fewer than 30 guests and we work tirelessly to scope out breathtakingly stunning outdoor locations that you won't find offered anywhere else. Blue Sky Elopements owners Jeremy Myers and Maureen Thomson are avid travel and outdoor enthusiasts and when we add a new area to our list of places where we offer elopement packages, we actually go and spend a minimum of two months living, working and scouting locations in the area. We'll never refer you to a site that we haven't personally set eyes on. We also spend a minimum of two to four weeks per year in each of our service areas so we can ensure our info is up to date on all of the elopement venues we recommend.
When it comes time to put together your elopement package, we offer only the finest, hand-picked wedding professionals to provide services for your elopement. We don't believe going small means you need to settle for subpar vendors (or those who are working elopements simply as a way to work their way up to more lucrative "big" weddings). Our wedding vendors must demonstrate a level of expertise that is head and shoulders above the rest and have a minimum of five years experience in their field.
We top everything off with our signature coordination services which mean you are assigned your own go-to person who oversees the process, implements your wishes and makes sure your wedding vision is brought to reality. And we leave nothing to chance! We know you don't know what you don't know when it comes to planning an elopement and we'll be there to make sure you don't inadvertently stumble along the way.
