Membership for elopement photographers

Members get entry to every competition round at a discounted rate, plus a public profile with location, bio, Instagram, and portfolio. You don't have to win an award to join — add your wins to your profile as they come.

Not ready for membership? Pay $19 per round to submit up to 5 images without joining.

How we're different

We celebrate elopement photography with inclusive competition rules and professional judges. Entries are anonymized before judging — no watermarks, logos, or identifying text in the frame.

LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC+ photographers are welcome and encouraged. Our goal is a fair, niche-specific platform where your work gets seen by couples planning their elopement.
