All-Inclusive Luxury Elopement Package

A luxury elopement at Honeysuckle Hills offers a more relaxing, private wedding experience at a venue abundant with nature, decorated and ready to use with beautiful areas for your ceremony and  photography.  This package can be described as a photography session with a bonus ceremony.  Use the photographer of your choice or add one of our on-site photographers to the base price of your package.  Additional, optional amenities like bouquets, cake, hair and makeup may also be added to enrichen your experience.  This package is especially appealing for couples who not only want stunning images, but may also want to bring things like favors, a guest book, or other decor to personalize our wedding ready space.  The fluid timeline is also much more generous than our mini wedding if you’re planning to do things like read vows to each other privately, add first dances, or cut your wedding cake for photos.  As long as these events are completed before dark, there is no strict limitation on how quickly they must be completed.

Your wedding is the only event we’ll book for the day. Let me lessen your worries about who sets up, the rain plan, and finding the perfect photography sites and vendors. This all-inclusive elopement package takes care of everything you need and includes ample time at our farm & garden venue for the ceremony and photography. Its less demanding timeline allows photographers to use more of their imagination.  If it rains, we can completely change your itinerary for the best weather conditions or pause until weather clears, only limited by when it gets dark. I’ve spent the past 18 years making Honeysuckle Hills a “photographer’s playground,” and it’s a sincere joy for me to watch all the talented artists work their magic! I provide the canvas, you’re the subject, and your chosen photographer is the brush that paints memories you’ll share for years to come.

Start the day using our dressing areas, followed by a ceremony in the location of your choice. Your included coordinator will set out any light-weight extra décor you bring (such as light weight floral arrangements for an arbor, guest books, favors, signs, or pictures,) as well as direct the ceremony itself. If it’s just you and your sweetheart, we’ll do things like help you zip up your dress and provide calm conversation as we guide you every step of the way. Your photographer is allowed as much time as necessary to capture wedding images, only limited by when it gets dark. Naturally, there is an average time expectation.  But if you or your guests are running late or if there are pauses for rainy weather there is no stressful ultimatum on when your venue time is over.

As your hostess and wedding planner, I’m available by email, text, and scheduled phone calls. I respond to all texts and emails within 24 hours because I love what I do. Your happiness means the world to me! Your day of wedding coordinator is likely to be either myself, Sierra, or the lovely Abi, depending on your chosen photographer. We’re all dedicated exclusively to the Honeysuckle Hills wedding venue, so we know exactly how to make your day flow smoothly.

On-Site Photographers

Sierra Bonneville
My daughter-in-law, Sierra, has photographed couples at our venue for well over five years now and has her own Instagram page @skbonnevillephotos. She specializes in weddings with smaller guest counts (30 or fewer) and has a light and airy style. She is well versed in off camera lighting in addition to mastery of natural light. You will especially love how she photographs the details of your wedding like the rings, invitations and bouquets. She also guides people through posing with the delicate nature of a butterfly.

Regina Starkey
Regina is the founder of Honeysuckle Hills with over twenty years of experience in professional photography, along with National Awards with PPA during her competing years of 2003 through 2012. Now the only awards she seeks are the smiles of happy couples like you! She masters off-camera lighting as well as natural light and does a mixture of story-telling and classic posing. She restricts photography commissions to couples only with a maximum of ten guests in order to have the most time to unleash creativity. Her style is described as true to color with a dash of artistry.

Recommended Off-Site Photographers

Consider these incredible artists for your wedding and reach out to them individually for their specific pricing. Most even offer video with their photography packages! All have provided the liability insurance required for photos with our horses running & approaching close enough to touch.

Honeysuckle Hills was created for photographers by a photographer with over twenty years of artistic endeavors behind her (Yep, that’s me, Regina!) Rest assured my recommendations above are top notch for both customer service as well as creative talent. All of the above photographers have photographed at our venue previously and we know they will take excellent care of you.
