Still have questions? Here are the answers!

1. Do you require a deposit to book you as photographer?

Yes, it's $1000 regardless of the package you book.  The retainer ensures the date will be reserved for you, and you alone.

2. Is the helicopter cost included in the packages?

No.  While I can help you contact, arrange, and schedule the helicopter flight, you will be required to pay the helicopter company the day of the flight.  Most companies do not take payment until the day of.

3. What factors affect the price of the packages?

Location, albums, length of time, and whether or not an engagement session in included. 

4. Is a physical album included in all of your packages?

With the exception of the 4 hour basic package, an album is included. 

5. How do we know what location to choose?

This is what I'm here to help you with.  Of course, there are countless options for locations to hike to.  To help you narrow it down, I chat with you about your hiking experience and what kind of views you're hoping for.   The hikes also vary in length of time required to complete, which is also a factor.

6. How much should we expect to spend, total, on our elopement?

This varies drastically depending on length of hike, what kind of activities you include, whether you hire an officiant or have a friend officiate, etc.  I have a blog post dedicated specifically to this topic, with a breakdown of vendor pricing.  You can check that out here. 

7. What happens if you get sick and can't come to our elopement?

The contract covers this thoroughly, but if I as the photographer cannot come to your elopement, I will either hire another photographer of equal skill and expertise, to come and photograph you.  I will still edit the images.  The second option is to reschedule.  If neither of those options are feasible, I will refund you.

8. What is the best season to do an adventure elopement?

This also depends on your preference for scenery, weather, and temperature.  Read this blog post to learn more about the pros and cons of eloping in all of the seasons.

9. How do we know what gear to bring for our adventure elopement?

Disclaimer:  I am not a certified guide.  However, after years of hiking in many weather conditions in the mountains, I have created a list of the minimum I'd recommend  bringing for your hiking or helicopter elopement.  You can find that here. 

10. How do we actually book you?

When you're ready to book, I'll send the contract for you to review and sign, along with the invoice.  The $1000 retainer will be due along with the signing of the contract to secure your date.  After that, we'll get rolling with any more planning, locations, and vendors you need to find!
