What’s different about an elopement for registry office couples

An elopement booked by registry office couples 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

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.
