Small beach elopements
A mini elopement is the simplest way to get married on the beach. It's a short, sweet ceremony for just the two of you, or the two of you and a few of your favorite people. No big guest list and no long day of planning, just your vows, the sand and the Gulf.
Miranda Rae is a mini elopement photographer on Florida's Gulf Coast. She helps you choose the spot and the timing, then spends 1 hour with you: she photographs your ceremony from start to finish, takes a few family photos with everyone who came, and finishes with couple's portraits, just the two of you. You get 50+ edited photos in a private online gallery.
Miranda's Mini Elopement is $349. It includes 1 hour and 50+ edited photos: your ceremony, a few family photos and couple's portraits, plus help choosing the spot and timing.
Time and photos. The Mini Elopement is 1 hour with 50+ edited photos. The Beach Elopement is $549 for 2 hours with 100+ edited photos, so there's time for family photos with everyone, sunset portraits and help finding an officiant.
Couples who want a small beach elopement: just the two of you, or the two of you and a few family members or friends. If you're inviting a bigger group or want lots of family photos, the Beach Elopement or a wedding package gives you more time.
Yes. Your officiant is booked and paid separately. If you'd like help finding one, the Beach Elopement includes help finding a local officiant who does beach ceremonies.
Ceremonies are booked as the Mini Elopement, the Beach 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.
Panama City Beach, Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, St. George Island, Destin and 30A, including Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach and WaterColor. Not sure where? Miranda can help you pick a spot.
Most couples pick sunset for the warm, golden light. Sunrise is just as pretty and the beach is much quieter, if you'd like more privacy for a small ceremony.
Just reach out. Miranda will do her best to find a new date or time that works for you.
Send your date with the form above. Once Miranda confirms, a $50 deposit holds your date, and it comes off your price.
