Podcast Overview

This podcast is for couples who want high peaks, real adventure, and a fun-ass elopement day — without the audience or the bullshit. If it's not a hell yes, it's a no. This is where we break down what actually matters when planning a hell-yes elopement in a practical, honest, and unfiltered way. Hey, I'm your host, Emily from Emily Belanger Photography, an Adirondack-based elopement photographer and planner in Upstate New York. I help badass couples plan life-changing, adventure-filled elopements in the mountains, and I'll be sharing real, unfiltered advice from years of exploring, planning, and photographing elopements out here. We'll talk about locations that actually feel secluded, how to choose hikes that match your comfort level, what permits and rules matter and which ones don't, how to build a timeline that doesn't feel rushed, and how to avoid turning your elopement into a performance. We'll also talk through the stuff that usually gets skipped over — weather, crowds, accessibility, family pressure, and why having a guide who doesn't hold back is a hell-yes decision. Because you want a day that feels alive and aligned with who you are. So let's make that happen, chasing high peaks and low bullshit.

E6: The Secret to Having Family at Your Elopement Without Regretting It

Think having family at your elopement means giving up the intimate, adventurous experience you actually want? Think again. In this episode, I'm breaking down the secret to having family at your elopement without regretting it later. We'll talk about why more couples are choosing two-day elopements, how to create meaningful moments with your loved ones without sacrificing quality time together, and why you don't have to choose between family and adventure. I'll also clear up one of the biggest misconceptions in the wedding industry: the difference between an intimate wedding and an elopement. Is it really about guest count, or is there more to it than that? If you're torn between including family and creating an experience that feels fully you, this episode will help you understand your options and design an elopement day that gives you the best of both worlds! And if you're still sitting here wondering what this type of experience could look like for you head on over to my <a href= "https://emilybelangerphotography.com/elopement-experience" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">elopement experience</a> page where I go over all of the details!

E4: Why You Shouldn't Elope In The Catskill Mountains And What I'd Do Instead

Everyone loves to romanticize the Catskills… but if you're thinking about eloping there, you might want to slow down for a second. Because here's the truth no one really talks about, just because a place is popular doesn't mean it's actually a good fit for an intentional, private, fully immersive elopement experience. In this episode, I'm getting real about why the Catskills might not be the move for couples who want something that actually feels meaningful, secluded, and aligned... and what I'd do instead. This isn't about hating on a location just to be controversial. It's about helping you think differently about what actually makes an elopement feel like an intimate experience… versus something that just looks good in photos but doesn't really hit the way you thought it would. If you've been drawn to the Catskills but something feels slightly off, or you just know you want something deeper than a "pretty place" this episode will help you figure out what actually fits you.
