Elopement Pricing
I'm more interested in elopements or intimate weddings than large weddings. I just completed the pricing & packages videos and I'm wondering how they could be used for elopements. It's very typical for photographers to offer 4 hour, 8 hour, and 12 hour elopements. I'm not sure every eloping couple would want a full day, so would this pricing model still be beneficial?
This question is coming from someone who has no work in either elopements or weddings yet haha. I'm just wondering what you guys think and I'm soaking in a lot of knowledge for when I do offer them! I'm also thinking about how this could be modified for portrait sessions, because my portrait sessions are priced based on # of people but I feel like there's a better way...

great question!
I think elopements are very different. It's a little bit more like a portrait session.
If it were me, I might try a base package at, say, 4 hours. Put all of my variations in that time-window (planning, 4 hours, gallery) (planning, 4 hours, gallery, + extras, like turnaround time, album and prints) -- those two packages can be your bases. From there, you could add additional hours as a fee.
just an idea
mainly, just confirming your assumption that elopements should be handled differently
