Elope Big Bend is a high-end adventure elopement, intimate wedding, and portrait photography service for couples looking to have an intentionally crafted experience in the Big Bend region of West Texas. Founded in 2020 by Texas native and Terlingua resident, Anna Claire Beasley, EBB offers some of the most extensive knowledge of the Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and the surrounding areas for couples wanting to get married in West Texas. Blending cinematic imagery with the gritty nostalgia of film photos and a deep love of the landscapes she adventures in, Anna Claire prides herself on creating experiences and images that feel like a love letter to West Texas.
How Elope Big Bend began:
After traveling to the Big Bend area for years, both for personal trips and while working as a guide for her university outdoor program, Anna Claire decided to offer adventure photo sessions to couples looking for something a little different for their wedding experience—couples whose priority was connection. After launching her wedding & elopement photography business, more and more couples expressed interest in eloping in Big Bend or doing adventure sessions out west.
In order to better serve those couples, she wanted to create a unique resource with all of my information about packages, pricing, and inspiration related solely elopements, weddings, and adventures in Big Bend and the surrounding area. And so, Elope Big Bend was born.
