Elope Your Life
Sam Starns |
TEDxRoseburg
• April 2021
As an adventure elopement photographer and author of the book “Elope Your Life”, Sam Starns challenges us to turn the traditional definition of elopement on its head. She elaborates on how the microcosm of weddings, and the decision to elope can be used to transform every area of our lives. With compelling imagery, statistics, and real-life examples, Sam shows us how societal norms and expectations distract us from our statistical uniqueness and are keeping us from true life fulfillment that reaches far beyond a wedding.
With nearly a decade of wedding experience, Sam Starns has traveled to numerous states and countries for elopements to jumpstart the transformation for real change and fulfillment. She has also spoken about uniqueness, eloping, and the “comparison game” at International Women’s Day Detroit as well as on regional and national TV/radio across the United States. With a passion for protecting our public lands and love for the outdoors, Sam donates a percentage of services including photography packages and book sales to various nonprofits dedicated to helping preserve public lands.
