PACKAGE B — $925
Two hours of coverage. Room for getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, and time with the handful of people you brought. The right fit for a micro wedding.
Most people choose Package B, and there’s a good reason. The moment they say yes, the two of you are the happiest you have ever looked — dressed up, glowing, still shaking a little. That is the best possible time to photograph a couple, and it never comes again. The mini session catches it while it’s still happening.
There are no Rules
An elopement can be the two of you at sunrise with a bouquet you picked up that morning. It can also have an arch, flowers, bridesmaids and a party afterward. I’ve photographed both, and neither one is more of a wedding than the other.
Invite people or don’t. Bring your dog, bring your kids. Have a cake, skip the cake, book a dinner afterward or drive through somewhere on the way home. Where a big dress or don’t. If you want to jump in the ocean afterward, jump in the ocean. You know I will be there for that too!
And if you do bring family or a couple of people standing up with you, you still get those photographs. Nothing about eloping means giving up the pictures with the people you love.
What you are skipping is the production. Everything else is up to you!
IT'S STILL A WEDDING
All You Have To Do is Show Up
You do not need to know how to stand, where to look, or what to do with your hands. That’s entirely my job and I will tell you everything.
I’ll watch the tide charts and tell you what time the light will be the best. I’ll position you so the wind works in your favor. If you need help finding a location, officiate, florals or an arch just ask!
Where to Elope on the Space Coast?
Harbour House Oceanfront
The view, courtyard or beach options. They have options to do it all for you!
Up the Creek Farms
Tie the knot under the oak trees in classic old Florida style.
Costa D’Este Beach Resot
Luxury hotel with options to get married on the sand or in a lovely covered area.
Rockledge Gardens
A beautiful nursery with venue space to tie the knot.
Melbourne Beach Hilton
Hotel right on the beach. Super easy for out of town guests to stay longer.
Eau Gallie Yacht Club
Luxury yacht club right on the Indian River Lagoon. Plenty of space to celebrate after!
Not at all! Bring nobody or bring everybody! Bring twelve people and we simply call it a micro-wedding.
Yes- from a Florida county clerk, before the ceremony. The requirements are different for Florida residents than for couples traveling in, so start onthe county clerk’s site early.
Sometimes. It depends on which beach and how many people you’re bringing.
Golden hour. About an hour before sunset or an hour after sunrise.
We photograph anyway. Well… we may have to adjust the timing but our Florida storms usually pass by quickly.
Turnaround time is 2-4 weeks but I work quickly to get your gallery to you as soon as possible.
