Small beach weddings & elopements
Miranda Rae is a beach elopement photographer on Florida's Gulf Coast. An elopement is a small, simple beach ceremony with just the two of you, or the two of you and your favorite people. No reception hall, no big guest list, just your vows with your toes in the sand.
Miranda helps you pick the beach and the spot, plans the timing around the best light and helps you find an officiant. On the day, she photographs your ceremony, takes family photos with everyone who came, then walks you down the beach for sunset portraits. You get 100+ edited photos in a private online gallery.

Yes. Miranda can help you find a local officiant who does beach ceremonies and line up the timing with them. Your officiant is booked and paid separately.
Ceremonies are booked as the Beach Elopement, the Mini Elopement or one of Miranda's wedding packages, so there's enough time for the ceremony, your family photos and your portraits. The shorter portrait sessions don't include a ceremony.
Most couples pick sunset for the warm, golden light. Miranda plans the timing so your portraits land in the best light. Sunrise is just as pretty and the beach is much quieter, if you'd like more privacy.
