Elopement / Micro Wedding Packages

Since the Bay Area is often a destination for our couples – many opt to skip the fanfare and higher prices associated with more traditional weddings – and decide to elope on the beach, park or other cool place that's special to them. Often it's just me as photographer / witness, the couple and the officiant! Very cool. These are basically engagement sessions + a short, intimate ceremony; elopements are essentially very small weddings with only a few people attending (max 20). If you’re planning a weekday wedding, but still inviting over 100 guests, you’re looking at standard wedding package pricing (sorry!).

If you haven't already, feel free to review elopements we've shot recently at various locations, mostly in the Santa Cruz area.

The following pricing is all-inclusive, covering travel, photographic coverage and creative direction, professional editing/retouching, online galleries for sharing and electronic delivery of specific #s of hi-res files for safekeeping:
