Approach and Routing
The elopement tier is built around a single ninety-minute window. One short planning call locks the timeline, the photographer arrives ahead of the ceremony, captures portraits and the ceremony itself, and follows the couple to one nearby outdoor location for a brief portrait set. Coverage ends ninety minutes after the start time so couples can budget the photography around the larger event flow.
Travel and Service Area
The studio is based at 1068 The Alameda in San Jose with regular coverage across the South Bay (San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Gatos), the Peninsula (San Mateo, Half Moon Bay, Burlingame), and San Francisco proper for city-hall ceremonies. Travel within roughly fifty miles of San Jose is standard; further destinations are quoted with mileage at booking.

Common Questions About This Tier
Can the ninety minutes be split across two locations? Yes, if both locations are within a five-to-ten-minute drive. Drive time counts toward the ninety-minute window.
Are RAW files included? No. Final delivery is edited high-resolution JPEGs; RAW files are not part of the elopement tier.
How is the timeline planned? A pre-ceremony phone or video call confirms the order of events, shot priorities, and any family-photo list. The call typically takes twenty to thirty minutes.
