Adventurous Winter Elopement By Arkansas Wedding Photographer The Dogwood Collective

Let me start by saying that I am a supporter of all types of weddings, however elopements hold a truly special place in my heart and I get super giddy whenever I have couples reach out to me to help them plan and document their intimate vows. What I love most is that couples get to spend so much more time together and can center their day on things that they love doing together.

Zac and Anna opted to elope in Petit Jean State Park. As a couple, they had taken countless dates to the park to hike and simply get away together, so it just made sense to them. They eloped on a Monday and had the entire park to themselves. The weather in Arkansas was unusually warm and beautiful, and their day was perfect in our eyes.

Thanks Sheila for photographing this day and to the other vendors who helped make their day so great!
