About Elopement Photography Awards

Elopement Photography Awards is an international photography competition built exclusively for elopement photographers. We celebrate the art of intimate, adventurous, and destination elopements — and we give photographers a fair platform to be recognized and discovered.

Who it's for

Elopement photographers worldwide — whether you shoot mountaintop heli-weddings, courthouse ceremonies, or week-long adventure elopements. Couples planning their elopement can browse our awards and directory to find photographers whose work resonates with them.

How judging works

Each round has professional judges assigned by our team. When a round closes, all entries are anonymized — names and studio details are stripped before judges see your images. Judges score each image independently. After judging, our admin team reviews results and publishes winners to the public awards pages.

• Submit up to 5 images per round
• No watermarks, logos, or identifying text in frames
• Entries lock when you submit — plan your selection carefully
• Winners are published with photographer credit and profile links

Inclusivity

We welcome LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC+ photographers. Our competition rules are designed to be fair and accessible. We believe the elopement photography community is stronger when everyone has a seat at the table.
