Here’s Why I’m the Biggest Advocate for Vintage Getaway Cars at Weddings and Elopements
Some wedding details look good. Others feel good. Vintage getaway cars do both—and that’s why I’ll always advocate for them. Not because they’re trendy. Not because they photograph well (even though they do). But because they change the energy of the day in the best way.
They Create a Moment, Not Just a Photo
A vintage car doesn’t just show up—it announces something. It marks a transition. A pause. A shift from ceremony to celebration. That moment—walking toward the car, opening the door, laughing as you slide in—becomes part of the story, not just a staged exit.
They Slow the Day Down (In a Good Way)
Weddings move fast. A vintage getaway car forces a beat. A breath. A second to look at each other and realize: “We just got married.”
That pause matters more than people realize.
They Bring Personality Into the Day
No two vintage cars feel the same.
They say something about you:
Playful
Bold
Nostalgic
Romantic
A little rebellious
It’s one of the few details that reflects personality without needing explanation.
They Make Transitions Feel Intentional
Instead of rushing to the next thing, a vintage car turns travel into experience.
Driving away together becomes:
A private moment
A chance to decompress
A memory you actually feel
It’s not about getting somewhere—it’s about being together.
They Add Texture to the Visual Story
Weddings benefit from contrast. Soft dresses against worn leather. Florals against chrome. Motion against stillness. Vintage cars add texture, history, and dimension that modern vehicles just don’t.
They Feel Cinematic Without Trying
There’s something inherently cinematic about vintage cars. Windows down. Music playing. Hands intertwined. Nothing feels forced. The moment creates itself.
They Age Beautifully in Photos
Trends fade. Vintage style doesn’t. Years from now, those images won’t feel dated—they’ll feel intentional and timeless.
From a Photographer Who Values Stories Over Perfection
Some details are about aesthetics. Vintage getaway cars are about experience. They create space for emotion, movement, and connection—and those are the images couples end up treasuring the most.
A vintage getaway car isn’t about making a statement. It’s about creating a feeling.
One last quiet moment. One shared laugh. One breath before the next chapter.
And that’s why I’ll always be its biggest advocate 🚘✨
