CHRIS MONGEAU

DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

ELOPEMENTs & DESTINATIONs

Whether you’re eloping far away with a few friends and family or throwing a destination wedding, there’s something special about traveling to a place that holds meaning to you both. I’ll travel as far as you’re dreaming and document more than just the day but instead the entire story. Hiring a documentary wedding photographer for an elopement or destination wedding is the most important decision you can make to ensure that you return home with more than just a few Instagram-worthy photos. I approach elopements and destination weddings in the same way as more traditional weddings—like I’m looking to tell the story with an emotional, cinematic approach.

Elopements

Destination Weddings

Elopements are intimate gatherings with a few of your closest friends and family wherever you'd like. I think New England is a great place to elope, but I'm also willing to travel anywhere you're dreaming of eloping to. If you're thinking of eloping, you probably have a specific place in mind and one of the biggest benefits of eloping is that you get more time with the most important people in a place that excites you. Elopement packages are limited to celebrations with 20 or fewer guests. 

Destination weddings are typically similar to a more traditionally planned wedding but in a place that's away from your home. You can have a destination wedding a few hours away or across the world—and know that I am here for either. While elopements tend to be less of a large scale, orchestrated event, destination weddings will involve some type of travel and a bit more coordination. I've traveled quite a bit and am always happy to hear your plans and offer any guidance I can!

DESTINATION WEDDING PRICING

Destination wedding packages are priced similarly to wedding packages in the New England area but will include a travel fee based on travel and accommodation expenses. Most couples can expect to invest between $8,000 and $12,000 depending on location, travel time, and amount of coverage. 

All elopement and destination wedding packages include:

Factors that determine pricing:

Travel

Accommodations

Coverage

Your specific destination wedding location will usually have the biggest impact on travel fees. 

For destinations more than 200 miles from Providence, RI, I require accommodations for the night prior to your wedding and the night of your wedding. 

Destination weddings often involve multiple days and I provide a custom amount of coverage to be there for every aspect of the journey. The day before your wedding can be a great time to explore your location together and photo coverage for welcome or rehearsal dinners allows me to become more acquainted with your guests.
