A first-timer’s guide to booking an elopement

If you’ve never booked an elopement before, most of the uncertainty comes from not knowing what’s normal, rather than anything actually complicated.

Feeling a little self-conscious at first is normal, and it tends to fade fast once the session actually gets going. The proofing gallery usually shows a wider range of expressions and angles than the polished handful that make final delivery, which can be a surprise the first time round. Questions are always welcome too, whenever they come up, if anything isn’t clear.

The sessions that go best are usually the ones where the client stopped treating it as a performance and just let the direction do the work.

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

Two common questions, answered.

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

Can you help us plan the day if it is just the two of us?
Happily. A good number of elopements shot means timings, backup locations and small touches are easy to suggest for a stripped-back day that still feels considered.
