What’s different about an elopement for micro-weddings

An elopement booked by micro-weddings has a slightly different brief to the average session, even if the process looks similar on paper.

The images need to work harder for a specific purpose, whether that’s a particular platform, a particular audience, or a particular use case that a generic elopement wouldn’t necessarily account for. That means a slightly different conversation before the shoot, and sometimes a different selection of looks or setups on the day.

If you fall into this group, it’s worth saying so clearly when you enquire, so the session gets planned around the actual use case from the start rather than adjusted afterwards.

FAQs

Quick answers, no fluff.

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.

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.
