Small days deserve real photographs

We love intimate events and elopements, and we would be honoured to be part of yours. A smaller day gives us room to slow down, follow the two of you, and photograph the quiet moments a big wedding rushes past.

We meet with you beforehand to understand the plan, the people and the places that matter, so on the day you can simply be present.

Elopement photography questions

How much does elopement photography cost?
The Elopement package is $2,000. It includes individual planning meetings, up to three hours of photography, retouching of every delivered photo, and more than 100 photos in your own online gallery.
What is the difference between the Elopement and Wedding packages?
The Elopement package covers up to three hours and delivers more than 100 photos. The Wedding package covers up to six hours with two photographers and delivers more than 500 photos.
We are not comfortable in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We look for natural expressions rather than stiff poses, and we guide you with simple prompts so you are never left wondering what to do.
How soon will we get our photos?
Your finished, retouched photos are delivered to your own online gallery within two weeks.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Columbia, Maryland, between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and work mostly around those two cities and the Maryland communities in between. We are happy to travel further when a session or wedding calls for it; tell us where and we will plan it with you.
How do we book?
Send us your date and a few details through the inquiry form and we will confirm availability. A signed agreement and a retainer reserve your date: 30% for weddings and elopements, 50% for portrait sessions. The balance is due two weeks before a wedding or elopement, or on the day of a session.
