The Dream Book
Eclipse Wedding
Eclipses are scheduled years in advance, which makes them the only truly unrepeatable wedding date. We plan the whole day backwards from the moment of totality: travel, permits, a clearing with an open western horizon, and vows timed so the ring goes on as the light goes strange. Planning starts early for this one, because so does everyone else's.
What it could include
The shape of the day.
- Path-of-totality research and a location locked well ahead of the crowds
- Minute-by-minute timeline built around the eclipse window
- Certified solar viewers for everyone present
- Ceremony scripted to land inside totality
- Time-lapse and stills of the eclipse alongside your portraits
- Travel, lodging and traffic strategy for eclipse week
Everything above is a starting point, not a fixed package. Tess plans it and photographs it; you book the vendors she lines up, so you hold every contract.
The practical part
Where, when and roughly what.
- Ideal locationsWherever the next path of totality lands — we plan the trip around it
- Ideal datesDate-locked: the next continental totality, August 2026 in Iceland and Spain, August 2027 across North Africa
- Guest countTwo to 20
- Approximate investmentStarting at $7,400
Approximate investment covers planning and photography. Vendors, permits and travel are quoted in writing before anything is signed.
