ELOPEMENTS & MICRO-WEDDINGS
Elopements and micro weddings: For the couples who decided that the wedding was never really about the wedding.
Elopements are genuinely some of my favorite days to photograph. There is something about a couple who has decided to strip everything back to what matters and just be present with each other. Those are the days that produce the most honest, emotional, real images I make all year. No seating charts. No timeline disasters. Just two people and a photographer who is absolutely in your corner.
Whether you are slipping away to say your vows with four witnesses and a dog, or gathering your closest people for a micro wedding that feels intimate rather than overwhelming, I am here for all of it.
FAQ
What Counts as an Elopement?
An elopement is not just running off to Vegas. It is any intentional decision to celebrate your love in a way that centers the two of you rather than the production around you. It might be sunrise at a state park, a quiet ceremony in someone's backyard, a rooftop in downtown Orlando, or a candlelit room with your closest people. If it feels right to you, it counts.
My Fearless Elopement Package includes 1 photographer for 1 hour with you, your person, and up to 4 witnesses.
What is a micro-wedding?
A Micro-Wedding has the same energy as an elopement, but a slightly larger guest list, typically up to 25 people, enough room for your chosen family without the pressure of a full-scale wedding day.
My Enchanted Micro-Wedding Package includes 1 photographer for 2 hours for you, your person, your wedding party, and up to 25 guests.
Why Elope with DellaMorte Photography?
No two elopements are the same because no two couples are the same. The approach here is simple: show up ready to document whatever your day actually looks like, without a rigid shot list or a checklist that turns your most intimate moments into a production. The real moment is always the goal.
Elopements sometimes come with complicated feelings. Family who does not know. Guests who might not understand. A decision that is entirely and completely yours that you still have to exist in the world around. This is a safe space for all of that. Whatever your day holds, you deserve a photographer who can hold it with you.
Do I need a permit to elope in Florida?
It depends entirely on your location. State parks, beaches, and many public spaces require permits for photography sessions and ceremonies. Some venues require you to hire from their preferred vendor list. This is always worth researching in advance and I am happy to help you think through your location options. Any permit fees are the responsibility of the couple.
Can we bring our pets?
Yes. Please. Bring a handler though: someone whose only job is to keep your fur baby happy and out of the shot until exactly the right moment.
How is an elopement different than a regular wedding package?
The coverage time is shorter and the guest count is intentionally limited. Everything else: the care, the attention, the post-processing, the gallery - it is exactly the same. You are not getting a lesser experience. You are getting a more focused one.
