FINDING YOUR PERFECT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Are you planning to take full advantage of unbeatable red rock deserts, looming mountain-scapes, bright white salt flats, or quaint mountain towns to elope in Utah? We know that choosing the right intimate wedding photographer for your special day can be hard—daunting even. As you’re scouring Instagram and the internet here are the things to look for and the questions to ask. Let’s break down everything so you can find the best elopement photographer near you.

ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY PRICING - IT’S AN INVESTMENT

The looming question we ask ourselves with every purchase, especially in regards to weddings is where to cut costs and where to splurge. Let us be the ones to tell you—YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Elopement photography is an art. When choosing a Utah elopement photographer you’ll want to consider comfort, editing style, and your own budget. Then work with your photographer to choose an elopement photography package that best suits your needs.

Once you’ve done your research, and feel confident in what you’re looking for in your elopement photographer, start your search for the perfect one by visiting sites like www.theknot.com where their extensive database can help you find your match.

THE PERFECT POSE FOR YOUR UTAH ELOPEMENT

We’ve all seen beautiful destination elopement photos with a perfect backdrop, a gorgeous couple, ideal lighting, and yet something still feels off—it’s the pose. An awkward or forced pose can be a detriment to your perfectly thought-out elopement photos. The right elopement photographer can provide direction to make things look and feel natural. We recommend India Earl and Brigid Bradshaw Photography.

SELECTING A SEASONED PHOTOGRAPHER FOR YOUR INTIMATE, NON-TRADITIONAL, OR ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT

For most of us, the elopement of our dreams only happens once, twice or, if we’re lucky, three times in a lifetime. For our dream photographers, elopements happen every weekend. Choosing an experienced photographer can help make your intimate wedding run flawlessly. Don’t get me wrong-a new, emerging photographer can be phenomenal, but a seasoned one brings more to the table than a pretty photo. No matter if it’s intimate, non-traditional, or an adventure elopement, the right photographers can provide guidance, flow, and structure to a day where you shouldn’t have to worry about a thing.

IN YOUR INTIMATE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - DETAILS MATTER

This small wedding is still your BIG day. The details matter and remembering all the small moments can be hard to do on this important day. Make sure that your elopement photography will focus on these details so you can focus on your love. Look for flat lays and detail shots in your prospective wedding photographer’s gallery.

COMFORT WITH YOUR ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

With an intimate, outdoor elopement a huge thing to consider when choosing your elopement photographer is the relationship you have with them. Did they make you feel comfortable and relaxed? Were they easy to talk to and interact with? You will want to meet, zoom or talk to your photographer prior to booking and make sure you feel relaxed and at ease.

 

THE RIGHT EDIT STYLE FOR YOUR DESTINATION ELOPEMENT

Whether it's bright and airy, dark and moody, or those perfect golden tones, it all comes down to the perfect cocktail of editing. Find a wedding photographer who edits photos to your liking to capture and enhance the beauty of a destination elopement.
