Permits, Risks, Logistics, Transport, travel fees, late nights... oh my!
Adventure elopement couples often face unique challenges when booking their wedding photographer and videographer team due to the nature of their non-traditional and often remote wedding locations. Some of the common problems they may encounter include:
1. **Finding Experienced Professionals:** It can be challenging to find photographers and videographers with experience in adventure elopements who are familiar with remote locations, outdoor lighting conditions, and adventurous photography techniques.
when booking us, we are rugged extreme adventurists, willing to go the extra mile and eager for adventure, and travel no matter how far, in fact the more insane, the more we are interested. we dont charge travel fees for certain locations, email us or contact us for more info.
2. **Navigating Permit/visa Requirements:** Many adventure elopement locations require permits or permissions for photography and videography sessions. Couples may struggle to navigate the permitting process and ensure they have all the necessary approvals in place.
When booking your elopement with me, I DO NOT charge extra for permits, or licenses, and I go out of my way to ensure all of these details are safely taken care of without your hassle or worry. For some countries I may not be eligible to apply for visas, so please check in prior.
3. **Ensuring Compatibility with Adventure Style:** Couples often seek photographers and videographers who share their passion for adventure and can capture their love story in a way that reflects their adventurous spirit. Finding a team that understands and embraces their vision for the day can be a challenge.
With my taste for fairytales and magic, adventure, and wanderlust, my style inspired by fantasy and fine art photography, cinematography, and documentary authentic candid real moments. I search far and wide for epic iconic moments. I would do anything to capture something special for my clients.
4. **Managing Logistics:** Adventure elopements often involve remote or off-the-grid locations, which can present logistical challenges for photographers and videographers in terms of transportation, accommodation, and equipment needs.
I am living in a motorhome currently, I LOVE to travel, and live on the road, so I do not need to charge much for travel fees, as I can book during the same times in your area to supplement my fuel costs... And for weddings outside the country, I have a passport to travel and photograph destination weddings worldwide or elopements in special unique places.
5. **Balancing Creativity with Safety:** Capturing stunning adventure elopement photos and videos often requires photographers and videographers to push boundaries and take risks. Couples may struggle to find a team that can balance creativity with safety and ensure their well-being throughout the shoot.
After adventuring around the world, exploring, and cave climbing, motorbiking, hiking, helicopter riding, sky diving, there's just about nothing i WONT do, except a bungee jump ride... But I am ALL for jumping out of a perfectly good airplane to get the perfect shot!
6. **Budget Considerations:** Adventure elopement photography and videography services can vary widely in cost depending on factors such as location, duration, and services included. Couples may need to carefully consider their budget and prioritize their photography and videography needs accordingly.
my services often only charge for the hours and services and editing time you are booking me for. Usually I try not to charge for stand by time, adventure time, or overnight time, because these often are the moments when we can let loose and really get creative, as well as special candid moments might happen that I cant create, and dont want to miss. I also save my clients a lot of money on hiring a photographer and videographer team, because I am a solo shooter, and can shoot both video and photo myself, seamlessly with amazing consistent style and quality.
7. **Communication and Planning:** Effective communication and planning are essential for ensuring a smooth and successful adventure elopement experience. Couples may face challenges in coordinating with their photographer and videographer team, especially if they are based in different locations or time zones.
I typically book my clients from local to my area, however I am night owl as well and you never know when I might be checking my emails, as I often am super eager to get in touch with new wedding clients, Im at the edge of my seat everyday, looking forward to getting back to them!
Overall, while adventure elopements offer couples the opportunity to create unique and memorable wedding experiences, booking the right photographer and videographer team requires careful consideration and planning to overcome these challenges and ensure a seamless and unforgettable day.
I highly recommend sending me an email if your curious to know more about my packages or services.
