What comes to mind when I say “elopement locations”<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a typical big wedding with 200+ guests, having an intimate wedding or elopement gives you many more options as to where you can celebrate your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to do it in a church, a reception hall, or a designated wedding venue anymore.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing to have an intimate wedding or elopement is about going back to basics and asking yourself what’s really important to both of you to redefine how you want to spend your wedding day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And choosing where you want to do this is the first step towards one of the most beautiful experiences of your life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, being able to do this anywhere (or almost anywhere) can easily become intimidating when faced with the astronomical number of locations you can have your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve put my years of expertise as an elopement and intimate wedding photographer in Qu\u00e9bec to help you find the best areas in the province where to have your dream elopement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to choose where to elope in Qu\u00e9bec?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before sharing with you the best regions of Quebec where to have your intimate wedding I also wanted to equip you with the best criteria to keep in mind to allow you to make the best possible decision for you and your significant other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The landscapes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, landscapes. I think you saw this one coming, but taking a moment with your partner to talk about your vision and the kind of landscape that inspires you the most will help you narrow down the best elopement locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want mountains, lakes, rivers, rocky cliffs, a beach, a forest, an island, or a waterfall? Quebec is full of different spectacular landscapes, it’s up to you to see what kind of natural elements you want to incorporate into your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing here is to completely disregard what you see on social media, Pinterest mood boards, and – most importantly – what others think you should pick to really think about what YOU really want.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of landscape makes you excited and leaves you completely speechless? What kind of landscape calms you down and makes you enjoy the moment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season\/time of year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying it, in Qu\u00e9bec, we are lucky enough to have extremely different seasons from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it’s spring with trees in bloom all over the province, summer with its long hot days, fall with its colorful forests as far as the eye can see, and winter with its snowy landscapes and icy lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When choosing the perfect area for your intimate wedding, consider what kind of location would best showcase the seasonal elements. Some areas of Quebec may also be closed or inaccessible during certain times of the year or very busy during others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How far are you willing to travel and how much time do you have available?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I find that these two questions go hand in hand since it is essential to know what your limits and constraints are to know how far you can venture into Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, the further away from the big cities like Montreal and Quebec City you are willing to venture, the more likely you are to find beautiful, intimate, and not-too-crowded ceremony locations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, think about what you want to do the days before and after your elopement. Most of my couples usually rent a cottage or Airbnb in the area and spend several days (usually 1 week) there together as a sort of ‘honeymoon’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you’re there take the time to explore the beautiful area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is it possible to legally elope in Qu\u00e9bec?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Quebec, it is possible to get married at any place that has a mailing address, which means that you can get married in a national park, a rented cottage, in the comfort of your own home, or any other place that is meaningful to both of you that has a mailing address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best elopement and intimate wedding locations in Qu\u00e9bec<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without further ado, here are 10 of the most beautiful areas for an intimate wedding or elopement in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurentides (Laurentians)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can not deny it, the Laurentians are beautiful all year round! Whether it’s summer with its many lakes and rivers, fall with its colorful mountains as far as the eye can see, or winter with its many log cabins ideal for an apr\u00e8s-ski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Laurentians are full of beautiful locations for intimate weddings or elopements. The towns of Mont-Tremblant and St. Donat are obviously must-sees in the region, but if you’re looking for a little more privacy for an elopement ceremony, there are plenty of other great spots far less crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cantons de l\u2019Est (Eastern Townships)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be completely honest with you, I find the Eastern Townships to be one of the most underrated areas for intimate weddings and elopements, but I am going to change that right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its many touristic routes and breathtaking mountains, the Eastern Townships is much more than just fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This region of Quebec is home to some of the most beautiful mountains in Quebec, including Mont-Orford and its national park, the Bromont region, Sutton, and the impressive Parc National du Mont M\u00e9gantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as the Eastern Townships are ideal for adventurous trips to the top of the mountains, it is also the ideal destination for couples who want to celebrate their intimate wedding with their loved ones over good food, wine and microbrewery beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I honestly think that the Eastern Townships have a little something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlevoix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Charlevoix, Charlevoix, Charlevoix\u2026 Sometimes I wonder what we did to be so lucky as to have this little paradise on earth in the heart of our beautiful province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charlevoix region is one of my favorite destinations for intimate fall weddings thanks to the Parc National des Grands-Jardins and the thousands of leafy trees that cover the mountains everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What I particularly like about this region is the mix of the mountains and the St. Lawrence River. You don’t have to choose between the two here, you can have a ceremony on top of the mountains and end the day with your feet in the water in the Baie-Saint-Paul<\/strong> area. The best of both worlds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
