Elopements are perfect for couples who do not want to plan a big event with hundreds of guests. Sometimes it’s done with just the couple alone or with a few friends and family. These are the perfect packages for your Zoom wedding as well.
What happens though when you want the same gorgeous photographs that your friends with weddings with large guest lists have?
This is where my new Elopement Wedding Photography Packages come in. They come in two flavors - with or without an album. I am the photographer for these elopements so the same quality you see in my portfolio is what you will receive. They are four hours in length and can be used how you wish - Ceremony + Portraits but also some bridal prep photos can be done or even a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres mini reception. Extra hours are available.
Bride and groom portraits on Lake Michigan.
Locations
Here are a list of general locations locally that are great for elopements as well as some specific areas in the Northwest Indiana, Chicago and southwest Michigan:
beach weddings
botanic garden weddings
courthouse weddings
backyard weddings
Friendship Botanical Garden in Michigan City is a great spot for an elopement ceremony and beautiful portraits as well. There are also areas to go undercover in the event of rain.
Cancer Survivors Garden in downtown Chicago is an excellent spot for a city elopement
Gabis Arboretum is a beautiful nature preserve for photos and can also provide a pavilion
Beaches along Lake Michigan from Whiting Lakefront Park to areas in New Buffalo, Michigan
There are many creative options for Elopement Wedding Photography and these new package options are super simple and flexible.
