Phuong Anh and Linh are anything but conventional, so they embraced their roots and had a remote and aesthetically gorgeous elopement in their favorite Vietnam park, Núi Hàm Lợn. The couple enlisted the planning expertise of Hatmem as well as the photography skills of Tu Nguyen Wedding to organize and capture their dream wedding weekend. The celebration involved a motorcycle ride, a romantic boat session, a picture-perfect campsite, and, of course, an emotional ceremony. We think Phuong Anh and Linh’s elopement perfectly captures their love for each other and ability to improvise — especially when their first look was thwarted by a rainstorm!

Núi Hàm Lợn, Hanoi, Vietnam

The first look was the most memorable part. Shortly before we saw each other the first time, it was raining so heavily so we had to change our plan and such other things. We were a bit anxious.. But the photos turned out so worth it.

Our wedding vibes were rustic, free spirited, and romantic. We broke free from the traditional expectations of Vietnamese weddings! 

Our venue was it’s in a region that’s remote enough, not so touristic, and not too far away from our hometown.

Our advice is to take your time, plan for the worst and leave enough room for spontaneity. Enjoy every second of it.

Congratulations to Phuong Anh and Linh, and a huge thanks to Junebug member Tu Nguyen Wedding for sharing their special day with us. Love the idea of an adventurous elopement? Then you’ve got to see this cozy Aspen elopement in the Maroon Bells!
