Destination Micro Wedding and Elopement Photography Packages: The Must Know Info
With so many talented wedding and elopement photographers out there, I’ll be the first to say it can feel hard for soon-to-be-married couples to choose their perfect-fit wedding photographer and the right micro wedding or elopement photography package for them.
But the decisions don’t stop there.
Finding your micro-wedding photographer or luxury elopement photographer is simply the first step. The next? Choosing a micro-wedding photography package that fits your vision of your day best, too.
Deciding on what level of coverage for your day, what kind of customization you’re looking for in an elopement photography package, and what sort of support you’re after are all such unique and personal choices. That’s why I think it’s so important for couples to have a crystal clear understanding of the packages their photographer of choice offers.

The Inside Scoop: How Come to Bliss Breaks Down Micro-Wedding & Elopement Photography Packages
Here’s the plot twist of all plot twists – at Come to Bliss, I don’t actually offer “elopement photography packages” or “micro-wedding photography packages.”
At Come to Bliss, I offer one, clear base price – then share optional additions couples can add for the perfect blend of customization.
Why do I do it this way?
Because I firmly believe that my core offering is the minimum that every couple should have on their day–nothing less. Telling a couple’s full story of their luxury elopement or micro-wedding is my top priority–and to me, anything less than eight hours isn’t enough to share every feeling, moment, and experience of a wedding day.
I also firmly believe that every single wedding day (and every couple) is unique, and the coverage should be customizable. That’s why, in addition to every core offer–that deserved and needed eight hours!–couples can then add on what makes their wedding day feel and look how they always envisioned it.
This helps me make sure every couple gets precisely what they’re dreaming of–everything they want, nothing they don’t.
Everything Included in Your Eight Hours of Core Wedding Photography Coverage
When you choose to book with Come to Bliss, you start with that core offer – eight full hours of film and digital coverage. I collaborate with you, your creative wedding vendors, and your venue team throughout your entire planning process; that way, I can help you document your day best as it unfolds.
For elopements specifically, a custom guide is created just for you that includes my best location suggestions, vendor recommendations, lodging suggestions, and a photography timeline.
The coverage and documentation of your wedding day is just the start of the core coverage, though. You also receive all of your high-resolution photos, professionally edited and delivered in an online gallery, with unlimited downloads, sharing, and printing rights. A special sneak peek of your gallery is always delivered one week after your wedding, too.
Creating the Best Micro Wedding or Elopement Photography Package For You
That eight hours of coverage is only the beginning. Remember when I said I wholeheartedly believe that every couple deserves eight hours of coverage? I also believe that because every wedding day unfolds differently, couples should have additional options to make their coverage fit just right.
I’m so proud to offer my couples the option to add bits and pieces of thoughtful, curated services throughout their coverage that capture the memories and essence of their day (or days). Here are a few of the a-la-carte wedding photography additions I offer my couples.
Additional Hours of Wedding-Day Coverage
My core offer includes eight hours of coverage–but that doesn’t mean the day has to end there. For couples who have a longer day planned, please know that I offer additional hours to add to that core offer. You can add up to 12 total hours of coverage in a single day. If you’re interested in multiple days of coverage, we should chat about my wedding weekend options, too!
Second Wedding Photographer Support
Adding a second photographer to provide additional support can ensure we capture more details, more candids, and more coverage of your day. This is an ideal option (and highly recommended!) for weddings with more than 100 guests.
If you have a lot of details in your day you’d like captured, more photographs of your guests, drone photos, or film captures to have a larger presence in your final gallery–a second shooter is for you.
Rush Delivery
Planning a later reception and eager to share your elopement photos? Truly hoping to have your wedding photos ready in time to share with your loved ones over the holidays? This option is designed just for you.
My standard delivery time is 12 weeks, but with rush delivery, you’ll receive your full gallery in just 4 weeks—less than half the usual time. In this spirit of full transparency, this add-on is only available at the time of booking.
Officiant Services
Did you know that I’m an ordained officiant, and I can legally sign as your wedding officiant on your marriage license? Though I’ll be fully focused on capturing every moment of your ceremony (so I’m unable to speak during your ceremony), I can still serve as the official signature on your paperwork to make everything legally binding.
This is a wonderful option for couples eloping who prefer a more private ceremony. And, of course, it’s entirely complimentary.
Wedding Weekend
Multi-day weddings hold a special place in my heart; they offer such a beautiful opportunity to fully capture the joy of bringing family and friends together, whether they’re traveling from near or far. Having two or three days of photography allows me to document each treasured moment of your celebration thoughtfully.
Maybe it’s a welcome party for your guests, a boudoir session the day before, or a quiet adventure shared just between the two of you. Perhaps it’s your dad’s toast at the rehearsal dinner, an intimate vow exchange on a mountaintop, or a grand ceremony and reception surrounded by loved ones, topped off with a send-off brunch as you embark on your honeymoon. Or you decide to have a small wedding + elopement hybrid like Whitney + Levi did.
Once I learn which moments are most meaningful to you, I’ll create a custom package tailored to fit the unique vision of your wedding experience.
Content Creation
The moments I’ll capture on film and in digital will give you lasting connections to every moment–but what if you could have more? Content creation for your wedding day allows me to quietly capture all those real, unfiltered moments so you can relive the magic right away.
With this add-on, you’ll receive raw, behind-the-scenes video footage from your wedding day, shot on the latest iPhone 15 Pro. The best part? You won’t have to wait to relive them. You’ll have all the unedited moments within 24 hours and a beautifully edited 3+ minute video within 48 hours.
This add-on covers up to 8 hours alongside your photography coverage anywhere in Oregon. If you’re interested in extended coverage, multiple days, or adding this on for a destination wedding, let me know. I’d love to design a custom option that perfectly suits your vision.
Heritage Sessions
You’ve carefully chosen each person to join you on your wedding day, and they’ve come from near and far to celebrate this special moment with you. Let’s make the most of this rare gathering.
Consider gifting a session to someone close to you. Imagine a portrait of your grandparents across generations, a memory for your sister with her partner and children, or an anniversary gift for your parents. You’re also welcome to let your guests know about this add-on so they can choose to book a session, too.
This add-on includes a 30-minute session available on the days before or after your main event. They’ll receive an online gallery with professionally edited photos, unlimited downloads, and full printing rights.
Engagement Photos
As you plan for your wedding and the vision and excitement of your day builds, this is the perfect chance to capture a little adventure that feels true to you. Whether it’s a laid-back afternoon of wine tasting, paddle boarding, spending time with your dog, hiking a new trail, or just relaxing at home, this session gives you space to enjoy being together. It’s a wonderful way to ease into being in front of the camera, and you’ll come away with beautiful photos for your wedding website and invitations.
This add-on includes a two-hour session and an online gallery of professionally edited photos with unlimited downloads and printing rights. As a quick note, travel fees may apply for engagement sessions outside my local area of Bend, Oregon.
Honeymoon Photos
Your honeymoon–it’s a time for both deep relaxation and thrilling adventure. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime snapshot in time celebrating an unforgettable moment that you’ll never have back. And yet, we really only capture it on quick shots on our iPhones.
You’re both glowing with that newlywed happiness, potentially exploring a beautiful new place together for the first time, creating new memories you’ll want to relive over and over. Let’s capture these moments in a way that allows you to connect with those feelings and experiences for years to come.
This add-on includes a two-hour session with an online gallery of professionally edited photos, unlimited downloads, and full printing rights. Travel fees may apply for honeymoon sessions outside my local area.
Albums
Something I will always tell my couples is this–your wedding day matters, but your memories of it matter, too. It’s so easy to let those moments get buried in a hard drive or lost in the clutter of the cloud.
Your wedding album is a tangible, real, and beautiful reminder of your wedding day–a way to touch those moments, flip through them, and feel every feeling all over again.
Preserve Your Wedding Day Memories with Images that Last Forever
Your wedding day deserves to be documented in all its glory–every in-between moment and every curated detail. It’s one of the greatest exhilarations and the greatest heartbreaks that a wedding day feels so big and beautiful but is over so quickly. Slow down the moments, capture every second, and give yourself the gift of watching your wedding day unfold over and over again with a micro-wedding or elopement photography package that covers every moment.
