ELOPEMENTS & INTIMATE WEDDINGS

An elopement is not a smaller wedding. It is a different kind of day. There is no timeline to hit, no seating chart and nobody to perform for, which means the day gets built around the two of you instead of around a schedule.

I shoot both the photography and the film myself. That matters more than it sounds. You are not managing two vendors who have never worked together, and the same moment is not being split between two people with different ideas about it. One person, one plan, both sets of images.

A one hour session covers the ceremony and the minutes around it. Vows, rings, the first breath after. It suits couples marrying somewhere simple who want the day documented properly rather than extensively.

A four hour session gives the day room to breathe. Getting ready, the ceremony, a real portrait session afterwards and usually a second location.

A full day is the version where we move. Several locations, sunrise or sunset, a meal, and the quiet stretches in between that tend to produce the photographs you actually keep.

Sessions start at $1,500 for an hour and run to $5,000 for a full multi location day. Travel is quoted separately and stated plainly before you book.

Most of my work happens within an hour of the studio in Davie, from Palm Beach down through Miami. I have filmed a proposal at Vizcaya that later became a wedding, and sessions out on the Dania Beach pier. Much of the coastline between the two works for the same reasons: water, light, and enough room that nobody feels watched.

If you want to go further than that, the Dream List further down is a set of places I want to shoot badly enough to take twenty percent off my creative fee to get there.
