How Much Does It Cost to Elope in Vietnam? (2026 Prices & What's Included)

The best thing about eloping in Vietnam, after the scenery, is the value. For the price of a modest wedding at home, you can spend two days marrying each other beside a waterfall or on a misty highland lake, photographed properly the whole time. Here is an honest 2026 guide to what an elopement in Vietnam actually costs, what changes the price, and what a package includes, so there are no surprises.

The short answer

A beautiful elopement in Vietnam costs a fraction of an equivalent day in Europe, the US or Australia. Our own photography collections start from around US$800, and a full multi-location elopement is still far below what many Western photographers charge just to travel. Because every elopement is different, we quote each couple individually rather than selling one fixed price.

What changes the price

  • Length: a relaxed half-day session costs less than a full day or a multi-day adventure across several locations.
  • Locations & travel: staying around one town (say Da Lat) is simpler than combining a highland waterfall, a lake at sunrise and the coast.
  • Digital or film: adding genuine 35mm film alongside digital adds cost, but gives that timeless editorial look.
  • Extras: a second photographer, a cinematic film team, florals, hair and makeup, or an overnight trek.

What an elopement package includes

A typical elopement with us includes pre-shoot planning and location scouting, an agreed timeline, coverage on the day (digital, film, or both), and a hand-edited online gallery delivered after. We build the route, arrange access to the locations, and guide you in English throughout. Florals, an officiant for a symbolic ceremony, hair and makeup, and accommodation are easy to add.

Vietnam vs eloping elsewhere

Couples are often surprised how far their budget stretches here. The same money that buys a few hours in a European city can fund a two-day, multi-location adventure in Vietnam with a local team who knows every waterfall and back road, without compromising on the quality of the images.
