Wandering Weddings membership is exclusively for elopement photographers who believe eloping is an intentional, experience-led choice. Both memberships are designed for photographers who want to grow visibility, credibility, and connection with couples who value thoughtful, well-designed elopement experiences.

Base Membership is ideal for photographers focused on long-term visibility, SEO support, and community. It gives you a professional presence inside the Wandering Weddings ecosystem through your profile, editorial consideration, and member resources.

WanderSelect is for photographers who are ready to actively promote curated elopement package experiences and generate higher-intent inquiries in specific locations. It includes package placement, quiz-filtered leads, paid promotion, and limited availability per location.

Both serve different stages of business and neither is required to access the other.

Yes. You can upgrade from Base to WanderSelect if accepted into the program. Contact Us to apply and for availability.

No. Base Membership is optional. You can apply directly to WanderSelect without being a Base member.

Some photographers start with Base to build their presence first, while others apply directly to WanderSelect if they are ready for a more active, package-driven approach.

The application is intentionally short. We ask for basic portfolio information, your preferred locations, and a bit of context about your work.

It’s designed to be quick to complete while still helping us understand fit and availability.

After you submit your application, we review it for location availability and overall fit. If accepted, we’ll schedule a short onboarding call and guide you through building or refining your curated elopement packages before going live.

If your location is currently full, you’ll have the option to join the waitlist.

WanderSelect is application-based to ensure the program is a strong fit for both photographers and couples. We want photographers who are ready to commit to curated packages, location-based availability, and a more intentional inquiry flow.

The application helps us make sure you’ll be set up for success inside the program, not just accepted into it.

These are the available locations: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, New England, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.

Each location is limited to 10 photographers per location. If your preferred region is full, you can join the waitlist and we’ll notify you when a space opens.

Yes, through WanderSelect Global. It’s designed specifically to highlight local destination photographers.

We aren’t focusing on U.S.-based photographers here. Instead, our goal is to magnify the work of local creatives, helping you connect with couples seeking authentic, elevated elopement experiences.

• Base Membership: Cancel anytime; access continues until the end of your billing period.

• WanderSelect: Monthly billing requires a 6‑month minimum commitment; annual billing requires a 1‑year commitment. Since it’s curated and space is limited, cancellation ends your spot and you’ll need to reapply to return in the future.

• Base: Immediately after checkout and building your profile.

• WanderSelect: Listings go live after application approval and package onboarding is complete. We’ll guide you through each step so you’re fully supported before launch.

You’ll complete a short application with portfolio and location details. If accepted, we’ll schedule an onboarding call and help you build your curated packages before going live.
