Most problems with an elopement trace back to a small number of avoidable mistakes, usually made before the session even happens.
Booking on price alone, without checking what’s actually included, is the most common one. Leaving the brief vague and assuming the photographer will simply know what’s wanted is another. So is booking too close to a deadline and leaving no room for a reshoot if something goes wrong on the day.
Every one of these is fixable with a five-minute conversation before booking, which is exactly why that conversation is worth having.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Elopements & Small Weddings page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.
FAQs
The short version follows.
What counts as an elopement or small wedding?
Anything from two people at a registry office to a wedding breakfast with twenty guests. If it is intimate by choice rather than by necessity, this is the coverage built for it.
How much coverage do we actually need?
Usually two to four hours is plenty for a small wedding, covering getting ready, the ceremony and a short portrait session afterwards.
