Every Elopements Inc. Charleston elopement package includes a professional Charleston elopement photographer — you don't need to find or hire one separately. Our photographers are local to Charleston, South Carolina, and specialize in elopements specifically (not weddings squeezed into elopement timing). Photography is bundled into the flat package price starting at $1,275: edited high-resolution images, a shareable online gallery, and full coverage of the ceremony from arrival through exit.
What's included in our Charleston elopement photography
Every package comes with a professional photographer, edited high-resolution images delivered via online gallery, and ceremony coverage scaled to your package length — from 1 hour on "Getaway Plus" up to 2 hours on "Weekend Package". Gallery size scales with package length — from 25–50 photos on the shortest tier to 200–250 on the longest — and each venue page lists the exact count per package.
Why bundled photography costs less than hiring separately
Hiring a standalone Charleston wedding photographer typically costs $2,500–$5,000+ for a few hours of coverage. Our entire elopement package — including venue, officiant, coordination, and the photographer — starts at $1,275. The savings come from package efficiency: photographer, officiant, and venue are all booked in the same time block, no negotiation required from you.
