5 Reasons Why You Should Hire an Elopement Photographer

May 22, 2018

Thinking of eloping?

Couples who are wanting to elope are going for a more intimate feel that focuses on the two of them and their commitment to each other and to God. It is becoming more and more popular throughout the years to elope! You can make the experience however you want, which is the beauty of it! 

Here are 5 reasons why you should hire a professional elopement photographer:Destination and Elopement Photographer

1.  It’s still your BIG day even though you may be eloping and you should still have it documented just like any other major moment in your life! Trust me you’ll want these photos to look back on! 🙂

2. Using professional photos of your elopement instead of having a family member or friend take them with an iPhone or less professional DSLR camera will be MUCH better quality, especially if you ever wanted to blow up them up or create a canvas gallery for your wall in your house one day! You’ll need higher quality photos do that! Plus, wouldn’t you rather have family or friends be in the moment and fully enjoy your celebration? I know I would!!

3. Elopement photographers typically charge way less than a regular 8 or 10 wedding collection because it’s way less time and work. So that’s a BONUS!

4. If you are eloping to EPIC location, like the top of a mountain (pictured below) or a destination location of any kind, you will want to get EPIC photos right?

5. Planning any kind of wedding whether it be small or large can get stressful. You don’t want to have to worry about any memories being missed when everything is going by so quickly. Even having a friend or photographer who hasn’t shot an elopement before can be tricky if they don’t know what to expect during the flow of the whole day. You want your photographer to be an asset to your day!! Professional elopement photographers know what shots to get and can keep things moving smoothly.

Behind the Lens

MEET Jessie

Photographer, creative, wifey, boy mama - inspired by music, good light, and you.

Hi! I’m Jessie Walker Drudy, and I’m so glad you’re here!

I specialize in weddings, couples, families, maternity and now offering boudoir. I am currently based in Virginia Beach, VA but I Serve All of Virginia and willing to travel! 

When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll usually find me a local coffee shop with a mom friend aka running after our wild kiddos or watching some sort of sporting event with my husband! Our two dogs are considered a part of our family and I truly enjoy when my clients bring their own dogs (or cats because we don't discriminate) to their sessions or incorporate them in details at weddings!

I've been doing this for more than a decade and I'm still obsessed with the joy I witness on my clients’ biggest days. 

My clients don't leave with a stack of posed portraits. They leave with little slices of real life — the looks, the laughs, the moments nobody else noticed because they were too busy celebrating or fully taking it all in.

That’s the mission, and it starts well before your session or wedding day. I’m not here to be a stranger behind a lens, I’m here to help capture the story you’ll be telling for years to come!
