The Investment: Experience and Value

Your elopement photography is an art, and generally, you get what you pay for. Rather than focusing solely on cutting costs, view the photography as a vital investment.

What to Look For in Your Photographer

1. Comfort and Connection
Because an elopement is intimate, your relationship with your photographer matters. You should feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease with them. Always schedule a call or Zoom meeting before booking to ensure you connect well.

2. Editing Style
The right editing style will enhance the beauty of your chosen destination. Review prospective photographers' galleries to ensure their finished product matches your preference, whether you favor a bright and airy, dark and moody, or golden-toned aesthetic.

3. Guidance and Experience
While emerging talent can be great, a seasoned photographer offers invaluable benefits. They bring more than just a beautiful photo; they provide the guidance, flow, and structure needed to ensure your intimate or adventure elopement runs flawlessly, allowing you to focus completely on your love.

4. The Details and Moments
Your small wedding is still your big day, and the details are important. Look for a photographer who excels at capturing detailed shots (like "flat lays") and focuses on all the small moments that are hard to remember later.

5. Natural Posing
The ideal backdrop can be ruined by awkward or forced poses. A great elopement photographer will provide the direction you need to make your photos look and feel natural and effortless.
