Hi, We’re Christine + Scott—Midwest Transplants, Married Couple, and Mountain Enthusiasts

We live and work in the Alps, but our roots are firmly in the Midwest, which means we show up prepared, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping people feel comfortable in unfamiliar places. 

The mountains may be our everyday, but we remember what it feels like to experience them for the first time. 

This blog is where we share what we’ve learned from years of planning, hiking, scouting, and helping couples elope here.

Whether you’re deep in the planning process or just starting to explore the idea of an Alps elopement, you’ve officially arrived in the right place.

“I’ve been trying to find the right words to encapsulate just how lucky we were to cross paths with Christine and Scott. Our vision was centered around the total lunar eclipse, and we were thoroughly impressed at how much thought and effort they put into the logistics. 

They made our wildest dream a reality, and we cannot thank them enough. Our favorite thing about the whole experience was the ability to be unapologetically ourselves, with no judgment. Grateful is an understatement and certainly doesn’t do it justice.”
