Elopement photographer in Europe

Intimate, natural elopement photos for couples who follow their hearts.

The Magic of Eloping in Europe

Eloping isn’t about running away—it’s about choosing love on your own terms.

An elopement wedding lets you strip away expectations and create a day that feels completely true to you.

Whether that means exchanging vows on a quiet clifftop, wandering through cobblestone streets hand in hand, or saying “I do” barefoot by the sea, eloping in Europe gives you the freedom to celebrate your love exactly as you want.

From the sun-drenched coastlines of Spain to the golden light of Italy, and the timeless romance of France, Europe offers endless backdrops for love stories.

Wherever your heart takes you, I’ll be there to capture not just how it looked, but how it felt.

Why Choose an Elopement in Europe?

Elopements are intimate, relaxed, and deeply personal. They give you the freedom to let go of traditions that don’t resonate and focus on what matters most: your love and your connection.

Why couples choose to elope in Europe?

✨ Breathtaking landscapes — mountains, beaches, vineyards, and historic cities

✨ Freedom to design a day that’s truly you

✨ A slower pace, more time together, less stress

✨ Quality over quantity — no “putting on a show” for hundreds of guests

✨ A celebration that blends travel, adventure, and love

 

An elopement isn’t “less” than a wedding — it’s more you.

How to Plan Your Adventure Elopement in Europe

01 — Follow your heart

The best elopements start with dreaming big and honouring your relationship in your own way.

02 — Choose your location

A romantic seaside ceremony, a town hall “I do,” or an adventure elopement in the mountains — Europe is full of magical places.

03 — Decide who to invite

Will it be just the two of you, or a micro wedding with a handful of loved ones? Both are equally special.

03 — Choose your photographer

Choose your photographer. I create intimate, natural photos that reflect who you are so you can relive every moment for years to come.

My Feminist Approach to Elopement Photography

Eloping is is about stepping away from tradition, and my approach builds on that spirit.

My photography style is poetic, relaxed, and focused on connection — I love capturing the quiet gestures and the raw energy that make your love story uniquely yours.

As a feminist photographer, inclusivity is at the heart of everything I do. I work with couples of all genders, backgrounds, and identities, and I celebrate the diversity of love in all its forms. You won’t find outdated stereotypes here, only a space where your relationship is honoured exactly as it is.

Your investment with me is more than money — it’s a commitment to an experience that values connection, equality, authenticity and sustainability.

The wedding industry still has work to do when it comes to equality and inclusivity, which is why I’ve spent the last decade creating a fair, welcoming, and empowering experience for every couple who books me.

Elopement weddings with mixed roots —

Love across cultures

Documentary elopement photography for the nomads, the curious, the third culture kids, and for all those who are hungry for the world.

As a third culture kid myself, I have a special love for photographing elopements that blend different roots and traditions.

Many of my couples are expats, international travellers, or partners from different nationalities and cultures who want to honour their heritage by weaving it into their wedding day.

These stories are why I love being an elopement photographer in Europe, I find it inspiring and touching to document these unique celebrations where love becomes a bridge between worlds.

Speaking English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, I love helping couples from all over the world feel at home on their elopement day.

Elopement Photographer Prices in Europe

Your elopement adventure will pass in the blink of an eye, but your photos will remain, long after you’ve returned home and tucked away your wedding outfits.

Eloping is a big investment — not just financially, but also in time, energy, and emotion. That’s why I approach elopement photography the same way I approach friendship: with time, compassion and honesty.

Every elopement is unique and your photography should be too. Instead of rigid packages, I create bespoke proposals that fit your day and your priorities. I price my work with sustainability, joy, and expansiveness in mind — so I can show up for you fully present, inspired, and energised.

Whether you’re dreaming of a sunrise-to-sunset adventure elopement in Spain, a two-day celebration in Italy with your loved ones, or a quiet city hall ceremony in France, your photos will be crafted with the same care, artistry, and intention.

Tips for the Best Elopement Photos in Europe

Choose the right photographer — fall in love with their work and make sure their personality feels like a natural fit. Elopements are intimate, and you’ll want someone you feel comfortable around.

Plan for golden hour — the light is pure magic, and having extra time at sunset (or sunrise!) will make your photos even more breathtaking.

Embrace the landscape — let Spain’s golden coastlines, Italy’s rolling hills, or France’s dreamy villages become part of your story. Don’t be afraid to explore, wander, and get a little adventurous.

Be present with each other — the most meaningful photos happen when you forget about the camera and simply focus on being together.
