Description

This wedding elopement photography package covers the San Francisco Bay Area with ninety minutes of focused coverage at a $600 flat rate. The studio is based in San Jose and travels across the South Bay, Peninsula, and San Francisco proper for couples planning a small ceremony where the photo footprint is intentionally tight.

Ideal Event Use Cases

  • city-hall and courthouse ceremonies with under ten guests
  • backyard elopements hosted by immediate family
  • vow renewals where the original wedding photographer is not available
  • same-day-of pop-up ceremonies at iconic Bay Area outdoor spots
  • destination-style local-couple elopements at Carmel, Half Moon Bay, or Marin headlands lookouts

What is Included

  • Ninety minutes of continuous wedding photography
  • At least 150 edited high-resolution images delivered via an online gallery
  • Print release statement granting permission to make prints and post images online
  • Image delivery in five to seven business days after the ceremony
  • Pre-ceremony phone or video planning call to confirm timeline and shot priorities

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.

Credentials

  • Established Bay Area photographer with 15 years of wedding and event work since 2011
  • 275 Yelp reviews with a five-star average on the San Jose profile
  • Photojournalistic style focused on natural, unobtrusive coverage
  • Listed on The Knot, Eventective, and Photographer.org

Booking and Cancellation

The elopement tier is $600 flat rate. A non-refundable retainer holds the date; balance is due before the ceremony. Cancellations follow the standard EIM photography schedule.

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.
