If you’re the adventurous couple who lights up at the idea of sleeping in a treehouse, chasing wild landscapes, watching the Northern Lights dance, or building trips around how you want to feel, then this moment probably just landed a little differently. Adventure eloping is what unfolds when couples realize their wedding day can feel like their greatest journey, not a production. It’s a feeling, a beginning, and a reminder that your marriage can start in a way that feels completely true to you.

If something inside you whispers this feels right, ELOPE: A Modern Elopement Guide for the Free-Spirited and Adventurous was written to help you understand what adventure eloping really is. For couples who suddenly think, Oh… this is us—if the idea of beginning your marriage somewhere wild, meaningful, and unforgettable just stirred something deep inside you, keep exploring, because some journeys really do change everything.

About The Author

Sherry has spent the past twenty-seven years as an international flight attendant with a major U.S. airline, traveling the world and gaining a unique perspective on destinations, cultures, and unforgettable experiences. That global experience, combined with her background as a professional photographer and lifelong love of adventure, gives her a distinctive voice in the modern elopement movement.

A trailblazer in adventure elopements, Sherry turned her passion for travel, photography, and unconventional celebrations into ELOPE: A Modern Elopement Guide for the Free-Spirited and Adventurous. More than a wedding guide, ELOPE was created to inspire couples to rethink what a wedding day can look like—to step outside tradition, embrace adventure, and intentionally create a celebration that feels completely their own.

Sherry is also the creator of the ELOPE Planner, a companion to the book designed to help couples turn that inspiration into a real plan. Together, ELOPE and the ELOPE Planner encourage couples to dream bigger, travel farther, and create a wedding experience centered on what matters most to them.

Both ELOPE: A Modern Elopement Guide for the Free-Spirited and Adventurous and the ELOPE Planner are now available for purchase.
