Elopements

steelman photographers

From the cliffs overlooking the Pacific in Big Sur to the mountain tops in Yosemite, the warm tropical sands in Maui to the countryside in Idaho, we'll be there to capture your elopement.

Not everyone wants the big show. Some prefer to keep is small and simple, and we love that. Each wedding is special no matter the size. We thrive on the personal connection. Let's make your wedding epic.

just love

Elopements

steelman photographers

The two of you,

an officiant, a perfect setting, us, and maybe a couple friends or family members. You'll have the most beautiful day with the one you love, memories to last a lifetime, and ridiculously gorgeous images to bring you back to those precious few hours of joy anytime.






We photograph elopements all over the place, but have intimate knowledge with our coastal elopements in Big Sur, Carmel Valley, and around the Monterey Peninsula. We love, love, LOVE elopements! It's actually one of our most favorite weddings to photograph.

We'll work with you on the details too, and if interested, can go above our elopement package and even create a custom coastal elopement experience for you with a trusted officiant, a beautiful flower bouquet, location and more. Contact us and let's make it happen. We'll take care of you.

Yes! They are included with our elopement coverages. We feel it's important for you to have the files, but we want you to know the value of seeing them as they are meant to be seen, so order some prints!

We have a list of favorite "friendors" for your coastal elopement that we'll share with you once we're all booked. From hair & makeup to florists to dinner locations, we've got you. 

If you're looking for a location along the Central Coast, heck yes! From coastal views to intimate redwoods and more, we know some of the most beautiful locations and are glad to help. Same goes for destination elopements - we can scout it out with you!

Sometimes you just want super basic coverage, and that's ok. However, we should help manage your expectations. If you're want shots of your ceremony & a couple shots right after, then an hour might work. But we'd really suggest at least 2 hours for the more creative & passionate images you see here.

YES! We'll do elopements in the most adventurous places. There really aren't any limitations. Most travel is included with our elopement package. Depending on the location and distance, there might be a little extra charge, but we'll keep it to the bare minimum. 

We know some of the raddest officiants around and are happy to point you in the right direction to find the perfect fit if you don't already have one.

Do we get the high resolution digital files?

Simply put, today. Our dates book up really quick. To reserve the wedding date, we require a signed agreement and a 50% date reservation fee. The remaining balance can be broken up however you like, just as long as it's paid in full 30 days before the wedding day.

Of course! Let's do it. Want us to set it up all of the details for you in a total package? You got it. Simply want to add an ArtBook album or a metal print? Something else? Give us a shout and let's start planning together.

How cool would that be to have the extra drama and emotion!?  A little mist isn't bad. If it's down-pouring and you don't want to get wet, we can definitely adjust the time. But don't be afraid of the adventure!

All of the images you receive will have been curated and edited by Mike himself, keeping with our signature style (clean, fresh, warm, and timeless). You can expect to receive around 50 images an hour, give or take.
