Elopement photography

Elopement photographer in Atlanta & beyond

Courthouse ceremonies, small gatherings and full-day elopements, each quoted for its date, location and hours of coverage.

How is an elopement priced?

One at a time. Melody has no fixed elopement collection yet, because coverage can range from a short courthouse ceremony to a full day across several locations. Send the date, the place and the hours you want covered for a quote.

Her published prices give you the scale: couples sessions run $200 for up to an hour to $500 for an extended session across several locations, and full wedding-day collections are $700, $850 and $1,000. Whatever the quote, you get what every wedding client gets — professionally edited photos, sneak peeks, a full online gallery and a print release.

What should we plan for?

Timing and light. Many of the color photographs in her portfolio were made in the last hour before sunset, and the black-and-white work centers on close portraits. Melody helps set the timeline so the ceremony and portraits fall in the right light; timeline planning and guidance are part of every wedding collection she sells, and the Complete Collection adds a full planning consultation.

Where can we elope?

Melody works primarily around Atlanta, Conyers and Covington, and travel is available for weddings and some sessions outside that area, with a fee that depends on the location. A state park overlook, a family farm, a backyard in Newton County or a courthouse in Fulton County are all workable settings.

For photos before the day, pair the elopement with an engagement session, or see the wedding collections if the guest list is growing.

Answers

Elopement questions

How much does elopement photography cost?

Melody has not published an elopement collection, so each one is quoted. Send your date, the place and how many hours you want covered. For scale, her couples sessions run $200 to $500 and her full wedding-day collections $700 to $1,000, each with a full online gallery.

Will you photograph an elopement outside Atlanta?

Yes. Melody is based in Georgia and photographs around Atlanta, Conyers and Covington, and she travels for weddings and some sessions beyond that. Destinations farther afield are welcome. A travel fee may apply, depending on the location, and is included in the quote.

Can you help us plan the timeline for our elopement?

Yes. Timeline planning and guidance come with every wedding collection she offers, and the $1,000 Complete Collection adds a photography planning consultation. For a small ceremony, the plan is mostly about the light: golden hour is behind most of the color photographs in her portfolio.

How do we receive our elopement photos?

In a full online gallery, with professionally edited photos and a print release so you can print them wherever you like. Sneak peeks arrive first. On her wedding collections the full gallery is delivered within two to five weeks, depending on the collection you choose.
