4 Tips For Picking A Rad Elopement Photographer

 

Happy engagement to you two! So you’ve popped the champagne and added your proposal shots to your Instagram...now what? Research!! Planning an elopement requires looking up quite a few things, so let me help! Elopement photography is going to be one of your first decisions to make in the elopement planning process. I’ve gathered some tips to help guide you to pick the right elopement photographer for you. Let’s begin!

 

How To Pick An Elopement Photographer

 
  1. Pick a photography style

    Each wedding photographer has their own unique photography style. Take a look at the photographer’s work (galleries and blogs are the best places to explore) and how they describe their personal aesthetic. If it doesn’t match your personal taste, move on to the next! 

  2. Match with your photographer’s personality

    Always make sure to talk on the phone with the elopement photographer you’re interested in! It’s important to make sure you click with their personality because you want to be comfortable behind the camera.

  3. Guiding you on your elopement day!

    • Does your photographer know the area you're eloping well and can they help you during the planning process?

    • Does your photographer help plan your day around the best light?

    • Will your photographer be making a timeline?

  4. Real moments over everything else!!

    Make sure your photographer focuses on the important moments throughout your special elopement day. From zipping up your dress to the way your husband holds your hand, it’s all important!!

Find someone who values your elopement and the unique love that you and your partner bring to the table. The value of having your special moments captured for a lifetime is priceless. Just imagine showing your kids the elopement photos you took 20 years ago together. Get your dress dirty, enjoy the moments, and have a story to tell your kids one day.

Why pick me as your elopement photographer?

My artistic style is raw and rugged. I’m the type of elopement photographer that will climb over California’s coastal rocks and capture unposed deliciousness from each of my couples. In order to capture the best from my couples, it’s a must for me to get to know each lovebird before we head off on our elopement adventure! After a chat on the phone (or FaceTime!), you’ll not only know all about my elopement approach, but we’ll both have shared our list of favorites and much more. 

Enough reading, let’s actually get to know each other!
