When it comes to telling the full story of your wedding day, elopement getting ready photos are a beautiful way to capture all the little moments before the ceremony begins.

Whether you’re laughing with friends or having a quiet, peaceful morning on your own, these early moments are filled with emotion, excitement, and joy—and we love helping you preserve them with intentional photo coverage.

Why Getting Ready Photos Matter

Getting ready photos are more than just a few snapshots before the ceremony—they’re a window into the anticipation and magic of the day. They also give us time to photograph some of the special details you’ve chosen: your bouquet, rings, dress, shoes, or even a meaningful heirloom you’ll carry down the aisle.

These photos add depth and storytelling to your final gallery, helping you relive your elopement day from start to finish.

Two Getting Ready Photo Options for Your St. Pete Elopement

We offer two optional photo add-ons with the St. Pete Elopement Package, so you can choose what works best for your timeline and coverage needs:

1 Hour Photography Add-On

The full experience! This option includes:

• Candid photos of finishing touches
• Full detail photos of your dress, rings, shoes, bouquet, and accessories
• Coverage of you getting into your dress
• Relaxed, storytelling images that capture the feeling of the morning

30 Minute Photography Add-On

A shorter version that still captures the final getting ready moments. This option begins as you’re putting on your dress and does not include detailed item shots.

It’s perfect if you want just a few pre-ceremony photos without extending your timeline too much.

Elopement Getting Ready Photos Complete Your Elopement Day Story

Adding getting ready photo coverage is a simple way to elevate your gallery and preserve some of the most intimate parts of your day. Whether you’re getting ready in a hotel, an Airbnb, or at home, we’ll coordinate everything to make the process feel relaxed and effortless.

We’ll also guide you through what to have ready for detail photos, so you don’t have to stress over anything in advance.
