A short list of questions, asked before you pay a deposit, does more to protect an elopement booking than any amount of portfolio browsing.
- How many images will I actually receive, and how many of those are retouched?
- What if the weather, venue or schedule changes on the day?
- How long until I see a proofing gallery, and how long after that until every last file is actually delivered and usable?
- Is travel beyond central London included?
- Can I see a full, unedited example of a similar session, not just the highlights reel?
None of this is awkward to ask. Any photographer worth booking will have clear answers ready, and Emmet.t.c’s elopement bookings (from £900 for an elopement, from £1,400 for a small wedding) are built to answer every one of these before you commit.

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.
