Charleston elopement photographers know that eloping is more than a trend; it’s a way to focus on what truly matters—your love and commitment to one another. Couples choose to elope for many reasons. Some wish to avoid the spotlight, while others prefer to prioritize their budget or bypass the stress of family dynamics. Whether it’s a second marriage or simply the desire to have an intimate, meaningful celebration, eloping allows you to create a day entirely your own.

What happens if we arrive late or the weather changes?

If we bring guests, is there an extra charge?

There is no extra charge for having guests at your elopement. However, we do recommend booking additional coverage time so we can allow enough time for group portraits and family photos, in addition to couples portraits.

Do you help with posing and direction during the elopement?

Absolutely. You don’t need to worry about posing at all. We guide you through the entire process with natural direction, movement, and prompts so everything feels relaxed, fun, and authentic — even if you’ve never had professional photos taken before.

Do you photograph courthouse ceremonies in Charleston?

At this time, the Charleston courthouse does not perform wedding ceremonies on site. However, we can help you plan and photograph a courthouse-style elopement with a classic Charleston city vibe, including nearby locations that feel elegant, intimate, and timeless.
