Preparation for an elopement is minimal by design. Bring what’s been discussed, arrive with time to spare, and the rest is handled on the day.

This comes up often enough with elopement bookings that it’s worth answering properly rather than in a single line on a FAQ list. Every elopement booking (from £900 for an elopement, from £1,400 for a small wedding) covers the full process end to end, so there’s no separate charge for the kind of ordinary back-and-forth this question usually leads to.

FAQs

A couple of quick answers.

Is this cheaper than full wedding coverage?
Generally yes, since the hours and deliverables are smaller. The same unposed, journalistic approach still applies, just scaled to the size of the day.

Do you travel for elopements?
Yes, across the UK and beyond. Registry offices, town halls, a hillside with two witnesses, wherever has been chosen.
