Elopement photography & film FAQ

Good to know.

Planning an elopement can bring up a lot of questions. Here are the practical details about working together, the day itself and what happens afterwards. If you can’t find what you need, just get in touch.

01 / HOW I WORK

Filming style.

What is your filming style?

My style is natural and documentary-focused. I look for real emotions and genuine moments, with minimal posing or interference, so your film feels authentic and timeless.

Will you direct us during the day?

Only gently, mainly during portraits or when I can help with light or positioning. Most of the time, I let your day unfold naturally.

Do you film different kinds of weddings?

Yes. I work with everything from intimate elopements to larger weddings, adapting to each couple, place and plan.

Do you work alone or with a team?

I usually work solo. For larger weddings, I can arrange a second videographer if needed.

02 / WORKING TOGETHER

Photography &
film.

How do you work alongside our photographer?

Good collaboration matters. I coordinate with your photographer before and during the day, so we complement each other’s work and keep things relaxed and seamless.

Can you recommend a photographer?

Yes. I’m happy to recommend photographers I trust and enjoy working with.

What if we already have our own photographer?

That’s absolutely fine. I’ll coordinate with them so our work is aligned and neither of us gets in the other’s way.

03 / MAKING IT OFFICIAL

Booking &
practicalities.

How do we book our date?

First, get in touch to check availability and tell me a little about your plans. Once we’ve confirmed the details, I’ll send a contract and booking invoice to secure your date.

Are travel expenses included?

Yes. Travel is included in the listed package price, with no additional travel fees.

How much is the booking deposit?

The booking deposit is typically 20% of the total price. The exact details will be included with your booking information.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule?

The terms are outlined in the contract. If you need to reschedule and I’m available on the new date, I’ll do my best to find a fair and flexible solution.

04 / WHEN THE DAY ARRIVES

The wedding day.

How many hours of coverage are included?

The wedding and elopement packages include 12 hours of coverage. We choose the timing around your plans, whether that means daytime, overnight or chasing the midnight sun in summer. The hours are the same for photography, film, or both.

Can we include the preparations?

Yes. We can include your preparations within the 12 hours of coverage and plan the start time around the moments that matter most to you.

Can our coverage run into the night?

Absolutely. Your 12 hours can include an evening celebration, a night-time adventure or the summer midnight sun. Coverage is not restricted to daytime hours.

05 / AFTER THE CELEBRATION

Delivery &
your film.

How long will our final film be?

It depends on your package. A cinematic highlight film is typically 3–6 minutes, with a longer documentary edit available as an addition.

When will we receive our video?

Your film is usually delivered within four weeks after the wedding.

What resolution is the film delivered in?

Your final film is delivered in 4K resolution.

How do we receive the finished film?

I’ll send you a private online gallery or secure download link.

Do we receive the raw footage?

Raw footage isn’t included by default. It’s recorded in a professional format and needs post-production to look as intended, but we can discuss it individually.

When is the remaining balance due?

The remaining balance is due after the wedding, once I deliver your final film.

06 / FEELING AT EASE

A personal approach.

How will you fit in with our guests?

I work discreetly and respectfully, blending in so people feel relaxed and natural around the camera.

What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?

Almost everyone does at first. I’ll help you feel comfortable, then give you space to enjoy your day together.

Why work with you?

I care about more than beautiful images. I want to tell your story and preserve the feeling of it, so you can return to those emotions years from now.

STILL HAVE A QUESTION?

Let’s talk it through.

You don’t need to have every detail figured out. Send me what’s on your mind and I’ll get back to you personally.
