How to book me as your elopement photogapher. Eugenie Smirnova — wedding, corporate and lifestyle photographer in Toulouse and Southwest France

Step 1: Get in Touch

Reach out to me via email, direct message, or my website’s contact form. Let me know the date, location, and any ideas you have for your elopement. I’ll check my availability and get back to you as soon as possible. Don’t worry if you’re still deciding on the exact details—just share as much as you can.

Step 2: Schedule a Call or Meeting

Let’s arrange a video call or, if possible, an in-person meeting. This will give us a chance to discuss your plans, vision, and preferences in detail. It’s also an opportunity to make sure we’re the right fit for each other! Since I’ll be with you for intimate and significant moments on your special day, it’s essential that we connect both personally and professionally.

Step 3: Choose the Perfect Package

While I offer pre-designed elopement packages, I believe every love story is unique, and I’m committed to tailoring a package that fits your specific needs. During our conversation, we’ll discuss your timeline, preferences, and must-have moments to create the perfect photography package for your elopement.

Step 4: Complete the Pre-Elopement Form

To ensure everything is perfectly planned, I’ll send you a pre-elopement form. This form will gather all the essential details I need to prepare a customized agreement, making sure we don’t miss any important aspects of your day.

Step 5: Secure Your Date

Once we’ve finalized the details and selected the right package, it’s time to lock in your date. A signed agreement and a 20% deposit are required to secure your elopement photography session. This ensures your day is reserved just for you!

What Happens After Booking?

Continuous Communication

We’ll stay in touch leading up to your elopement to discuss any details or changes. Feel free to share any inspiration, ideas, or specific requests you have. I usually suggest creating a shared Pinterest board so we can align on the vision.

Two to Three Weeks Before Your Elopement

I’ll reach out to confirm all the final details and ensure everything is in place. If you have any specific photo requests or a list of shots, please share them during this time.

The Elopement Day

When the day arrives, you can relax and enjoy every moment while I discreetly document the love, laughter, and emotions that unfold. Let the magic happen, and I’ll make sure every memory is beautifully captured.

Post-Production & Delivery

Within the first week after your elopement, I’ll send you a sneak peek with 7-10 photos. Afterward, I’ll carefully curate and edit the full collection, which you’ll receive within the agreed timeframe. Your online gallery will be ready for you to download, share, and order prints.

Booking your wedding session with me starts the beginning of a collaborative journey to turn your love story into timeless memories. Let’s start this beautiful adventure together—send me a DM, and let’s kick off the planning for your unforgettable wedding photography experience!
