Choosing a professional elopement photographer in Bora Bora

03

Your elopement project in Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful and special events to plan and to prepare. It will be a once in a lifetime adventure, a unique time and the accomplishment of your deepest dreams. It is absolutely primordial to document it and to create some beautiful memories. We advise that you look for a professional photographer who will accompany you in order to document your elopement and special moments in Bora Bora.

A professional photographer specializing in elopement photography (and weddings) would be the most apt. A good photographer will commit themselves to your project. Starting by defining your wishes, budget, then preparing a detailed plan, doing their best on D-Day and finally delivering great pictures and a high-quality service. It is important that your photographer has experience in photography on Bora Bora or other islands. That will guarantee the expected photographic style, colors, and light. Your photographer will be happy to accompany you, guide you, and help you to plan a photography project that fits your needs and tastes. A professional photographer will always sign a contract for your elopement photography project. A contract is a document that protects the client, the photographer, and their rights. It includes detailed information about your photography (date, place, delivery date of pictures, and other services like photo prints or a photo album).

Cost of a photographer in Bora Bora for your elopement project

The prices for an elopement photography project in Bora Bora can vary. It depends on:

If you choose a photographer from your hotel’s list, the prices are per hour. For example, one-hour photo shoots will cost you between 400$ and 600$, two hours between 750$ and 1100$. For a tailored elopement, you should contact a photographer of your choice. They should propose some basic packages to be modified or added to. They will also be able to create a custom package respecting your needs, wishes, and budget.

  • the overall duration of your event (number of hours or days)
  • the kind of elopement (intimate ceremony with bride and groom only or a big event with family and friends)
  • special photographic style (film photography, drone pictures and video)
  • the final products (photo prints, high quality album)

The best time of the year to elope on Bora Bora

05

The “dry period” from April to November is a great option to elope on Bora Bora. Beautiful weather, breathtaking views, and an endless summer atmosphere are guaranteed. The “dry season” is also a good time to visit French Polynesia. This period is known to offer perfect temperatures (25-30°C / 77 - 86 °F in the daytime), beautiful sunsets, and no rain. It is a good time to observe underwater wildlife (for example whales that arrive in May and leave in October).

From November to March, there is a “wet season”: it often rains (sometimes for a few days or a few weeks nonstop), and temperatures and air humidity are high. Try to avoid visiting Bora Bora especially in January and February. These are the wettest months and so the riskiest if you want to enjoy outdoor activities and landscapes.
