Yes it does! Our Simple Elopement ceremony includes your officiant, one hour of professional photography, an onsite event coordinator, a signing table, and all organizing. Everything you need for a stress-free, memorable wedding day.

You pay nothing until we have worked with you to confirm a date, time and location. Then once those details are locked in, we send an invoice for your $500 non-refundable deposit. After that's received, we confirm your officiant, send you the list of photographers available on your date and get started organizing your wedding.

Your date is not secured until your deposit payment is made. We allow 24 hours from booking to payment, after which the date opens up to others. If you need more time than that, please ask - we're always glad to do what we can.

We do all the organizing, including ordering any extras you'd like, and we line up a location for your simple but beautiful wedding ceremony.

The balance of your full invoice is due 14 days prior to your ceremony. This final payment is non-refundable - hopefully all distractions are out of the way by then and you're totally ready to tie the knot.

Etransfers are ideal but we also accept Visa and Mastercard. Details for both will be sent to you with your invoice.

We have your ceremony location all set up and ready to go before you arrive. You meet your marriage commissioner and connect with the onsite event coordinator who answers any last-minute questions and helps with guests or anything else you need.

The ceremony itself only takes about 10 minutes, which leaves around 50 minutes for fabulous photos (or more, if you ordered extra photography time).

Then off you go to celebrate with friends and family or maybe just alone time for the two of you - it's your wedding, your way.

Let us know if you’d like us to decorate a restaurant or other space for your after-wedding celebration.

We aim to arrive at least 20 mins early to help make sure your wedding starts on time and that everything goes as planned. SBP may have more than one wedding planned per day and we need to keep a tight schedule. Please be respectful of this and start your wedding on time.

Please let your SBP wedding day contact know via phone or text asap if you are running late. We do our best to accommodate a late wedding but please know that, if you are considerably late, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to stay to perform your ceremony.

Your allotted time will end as scheduled.

Rehearsals are not included in your package prices but we are glad to send you a quote for a rehearsal if you really want one. You are welcome to visit locations and venues in advance and we will help set that up for you.

Most small weddings are booked 3 to 9 months in advance. But if you're looking further ahead than that, that's all good. And if you want to get hitched in a hurry, we can probably get it done with just a few days' notice.

Once you've paid your $500 non-refundable deposit, we send you the list of photographers available on your date and you pick your favourite (they're all fabulous). They reach out to you to make sure they know exactly what you have in mind and also to make suggestions as they've been to more weddings than most people!

Your photographer arrives in time to get photos before, during and after your wedding ceremony (the after ones are often the fun shots!). If you opt to add extra photography, they'll come earlier, if you want, and stay later for sure.

Your edited photos should arrive about 6-8 weeks after your ceremony. You can download, print and share them however you like, as many times as you like.

Your edited photos will be shared to a web page where you and anyone you share the password with can download, print, post - whatever you want, as many times as you like.

When you sign up to work with us, you consent for us and your chosen photographer to use your photos and/or videos on our social media channels, website and/or marketing materials. We do this with your photographer’s permission and following their attribution guidelines. We promise to always be tasteful.

We deduct the cost of our photographer from your invoice, it's as simple as that.

Your officiant will be glad to speak with you once we've assigned them to you. They're always happy to listen to your ideas and to give advice.

That's easy - we just deduct the cost of our officiant from your invoice.

We can't add any decor to our Simple Elopement (sorry!) but there are other elopement packages with a little more going on. Have a look at A Little Extra Elopement and Comfy Elopement - both come with some decor and with those, you can upgrade from pedestals to an arch.

You can add as much decor as you like to our Micro Weddings. The package price includes set up and take down of all decor ordered through us. If you'd like our help setting up decor that you brought yourself, we'll be glad to give you a quote for that.

It depends on your package. Elopements allow up to 10, 15 or 20 guests, depending on the package you choose, and Micro Weddings have space for up to 50 guests, not including children 5 years old and under (they're always free with every package and we're glad to have them). But it can be just the two of you, if that's how you roll.

And if your heart is set on more than 50 guests, just ask - we'll see what we can do.

It is usually not difficult to add extra guests - just be sure to let us know in advance so we're prepared to welcome everyone.

Depending on the one you've chosen, Elopement Packages include up to 10, 15 or 20 guests, not including children 5 years old and under. For the Comfy Elopement Package, a maximum of 20 chairs will be provided and no extra chairs will be added for children under 5 years old.

If more than more than the maximum number of guests permitted with your chosen Elopement Package show up at your wedding, an additional fee (min $100) will be assessed.

Micro Wedding Packages include up to 50 guests, not including children 5 years old and under. The Micro Wedding package includes 50 chairs with more available to rent at a quoted price, though if you chose a venue, it probably has as much seating as you need. If SBP is providing chairs, unless you've arranged to rent more chairs, a maximum of 50 will be provided and no more will be added for children under 5 years old.

If more than the expected maximum number of guests show up for your Micro Wedding Package, an additional fee (min $100) will be assessed.

If you booked more than 50 guests for your Micro Wedding, then a quote will have been provided in advance.

We know many wonderful locations around Kamloops, including several fabulous free outdoor spaces and others that come with permit or venue fees. If you don't already have a space in mind, we are always glad to make suggestions.

We make all the arrangements and then put you in touch with the venue so you pay them directly. We never mark up our venue fees.

If you're considering Sun Peaks, Lac le Jeune, or any other fabulous location outside city limits, ask us for an exact quote based on kilometres travelled. Our photographers have a minimum 2-hour photography session at out of town locations, which adds $550 to your basic package price.

Our Simple and A Little Extra Elopement Packages don't include seating though we never mind bringing along 2 chairs should you have a couple of guests who can't stand for very long - just be sure to ask in advance so we're prepared. If you want more than 2 chairs, then our Comfy Elopement is perfect for you.

Our Micro Weddings include up to 50 chairs with additional chairs available to rent.

We also have white chair covers and coloured sashes as an option if you want to dress things up a bit more.

Some venues include as many chairs as you're likely to need. 

Unfortunately not. In British Columbia, only you can do that. But it just takes one of you, not both. You need two pieces of ID and $100. They make it up for you while you wait. It's good for the same day (though that's cutting it close...) or for up to 90 days.

You do not need to be a resident of British Columbia or even a Canadian citizen to get legally married here. Check out links at the bottom of our home page for more information.

That's on us! We file your signed documents and then, a few weeks later, it shows up in your mail. Easy peasy.

We’re here for you! If you need to make a change to the date, time and/or location of your ceremony, the change must be communicated in writing and approved by SBP at least 6 weeks prior to your original wedding date before the change is confirmed. We will do our best to accommodate any changes but cannot guarantee availability.

If your booked photographer is not available for your new time, date or location, there will be a change fee of $100. But if the photographer you chose can make the changes requested, there will not be any additional charge.

We find that 6 weeks is often enough notice that everyone can adjust. However, if you want to move to a Saturday afternoon wedding in the busy season, your chosen photographer may not be able to follow you so then, the change fee would apply. (Hint: pick a Friday or Sunday instead!) There are no additional fees for one change to your date, time or location; subsequent changes come with a $300 surcharge.

We want you to love us as much as we love our work. If you are not completely satisfied with us after your ceremony is completed, SBP will issue you a refund.

Please note: the refund guarantee only applies after your ceremony has been performed and does not include the photographer or officiant fees and as these are out of our control. It also does not include any venue costs or add-ons.

In order to be eligible for a refund, you need to inform SBP within three days of your ceremony.

No, we're not wedding planners. We set up your day and stay throughout to make sure everything goes exactly as planned but you save money by taking care of your colours, your invitations, etc. 

Your SBP wedding will not be cancelled due to weather. Our photographers always have umbrellas with them and we promise your photos will be fabulous.

We love including dogs! Some spaces even have room for your horses. Of course, bringing furry family members is dependent upon the location you choose but many of our favourite outdoor spaces are very dog friendly (just like us!).
