(Advice from a Shropshire & North Wales Elopement Photographer)
Just got engaged and already feeling overwhelmed by traditional wedding expectations? You’re not alone. As an elopement wedding photographer based in Shropshire and travelling across North Wales, I work with couples who want something more intentional, relaxed, and completely personal.
If the idea of a big guest list and strict timelines doesn’t excite you, here’s why an elopement could be the perfect way to start your marriage.
Take the Pressure Off
Elopements remove the noise. No seating plans, no expectations, just the two of you (and maybe a few loved ones) choosing a day that feels right. Whether it’s a quiet ceremony in Shropshire or a windswept beach wedding in North Wales, elopements allow you to focus on meaning, not logistics.
Choose a Location That Feels Like You
From rolling Shropshire hills to dramatic North Wales mountains and coastline, elopements are about freedom. You’re not tied to one venue or one way of doing things. Your ceremony can happen at sunrise, after a hike, or somewhere completely off the beaten path.
Prioritise Experiences Over Traditions
Elopements give you space to invest in what truly matters - time together, beautiful locations, and photography that documents the story honestly. Many couples choose to spend their budget on experiences rather than formalities.
If you are looking for an elopement wedding photographer, please get in touch to check my availability. All travel costs are included in my photography packages, and I'd love to capture your special day.
