Package Options for Two People

Every one of our packages can be used for just the two of you.

Because our packages are time-based, if you’re eloping alone you simply won’t need as much time.

For most couples eloping:

  • 1 hour is perfect for ceremony + photos

  • 1.5 hours gives more flexibility for multiple photo locations

You only need more time if:

  • You’re bringing a lot of décor

  • You want a longer photography experience

  • You’re planning something elaborate

Eloping for two doesn’t mean scaling back beauty — it just means keeping it intimate.
