I TRAVEL

Here in South Florida or somewhere you have to fly to. Tell me where and I’ll come.

PHOTOS AND FILM

I shoot both myself. I’m not going to pose you for an hour. I’m watching for the stuff that actually happens.

HELP WITH PLANNING

Location, permits, timeline. I help with all of it. If you’ve never planned one of these before, that’s normal.

TWO PEOPLE OR TWENTY

Just the two of you, or a small group. You get the same attention either way.

Sunrise vows on a cliff, a first look on an empty street, dinner after. Every one goes differently. These were shot as they happened. Nobody was posed off a list.

A FEW REAL DAYS

What an elopement with me actually looks like

People call an elopement a small wedding. It isn’t, really. There’s no timeline to hit, no seating chart, and nobody to perform for. So the day gets built around the two of you.

I shoot the photos and the film myself. You’re not managing two vendors who’ve never met, and nobody’s fighting over the same moment.

A one hour session covers the ceremony and the minutes around it. Vows, rings, the hug after. Good if you’re getting married somewhere simple and just want it done right.

A four hour session gives the day some room. Getting ready, the ceremony, real portraits afterwards, and usually a second spot.

A full day is the version where we move around. A few locations, sunrise or sunset, a meal, and the slow parts in between. Honestly, the slow parts are where a lot of my favorite photos come from.

One hour is $1,500 and a full multi location day is $5,000. Travel is quoted separately, and you’ll see it before you book.

Where couples do this in South Florida

Most of my work is within an hour of my studio in Davie, from Palm Beach down to Miami. I filmed a proposal at Vizcaya that later turned into a wedding, and I’ve done sessions out on the Dania Beach pier. A lot of the coast in between works for the same reasons. Water, good light, and enough space that you don’t feel watched.

If you want to go further, look at the Dream List below. Those are places I want to shoot badly enough to take 20% off my creative fee to get there.

What couples ask before booking

Do I get both photographs and a film?

Yes. I shoot both myself on every package, so you are not coordinating two vendors or splitting the same moment between two cameras.

How much does an elopement cost?

One hour is $1,500, four hours is $3,000, and a full multi location day is $5,000. Travel is quoted separately and stated before you book.

Can we bring family and friends?

Yes. Some elopements are just the two of you and some are twenty people. Both get the same attention.

Do you help with the planning?

Yes. Planning guidance, location scouting, permits and timelines are part of the coverage rather than an add on.

Will you travel outside South Florida?

Yes. Most of my work runs between Palm Beach and Miami, but I travel for elopements, and the Dream List locations come with twenty percent off my creative fee.

What Clients Say

"Dov is the man! He was extremely accommodating and very responsive as it pertained to the logistics surrounding our engagement shots. We set a plan to meet at our location and pretend he was “just some guy” taking photos around the area. Voila! He was the surprise photographer. My gf, now fiancee, was floored."
Michael L.
Surprise Proposal, via Thumbtack
"He's super sweet and warm which made us feel super comfortable throughout the whole shoot. We will one hundred percent be using him again, and I would 10/10 recommend him. The pictures came out INCREDIBLE."

"Dov was fantastic in every step of the way. He captured my engagement and the pictures came out amazing. 10/10"

THE DREAM LIST

20% off my creative fee at any of these places. The creative fee is the package price. Travel and expenses are quoted separately. Why do this? Because I really want to shoot here, and I'd rather make it easier for you to pick one.

WHAT AN ELOPEMENT FILM LOOKS LIKE

This is Bex & Dor's proposal at Vizcaya. The proposal itself happened once, the rest of the film was built around it that same afternoon. It's one real example of the kind of film a proposal or elopement can become.
