ELOPEMENTS ACROSS EUROPE
ELOPEMENTS
Documentary photography for couples
who choose connection over convention
01 / THE MAIN EVENT
WHAT I DO
PERMISSION
I'm a Europe elopement photographer based in Hamburg, working across Italy,
Ireland, Iceland, Paris, Scotland, and Copenhagen. I photograph elopements
and intimate celebrations—2 to 20 people max—for couples who want documentary-style coverage with direction, not performance.
Here's the thing:
You're sitting with that wedding planning checklist. Every line makes you tired.
47 people on the guest list who you barely know. Your parents want the church.
Their parents want the reception hall. The wedding industry says bigger is better.
You just want each other.
That's when couples call me.
And someone who understands why that's enough.
That's where I come in.
I WORK BEST
WITH COUPLES
WHO...
SELF-SELECTION
...are planning an elopement or intimate celebration.
Just you two, or up to 20 guests max.
...want documentary with direction—not stiff catalog poses,
but not "fly on the wall" either
...value authenticity over perfection.
You're okay with wind in your hair and rain on your jacket.
...are tired of performing your love for an audience.
...want a photographer who guides the scene
but lets you bring the emotion.
YOU DON'T NEED 70+ PEOPLE
TO MAKE YOUR LOVE REAL
PERMISSION
You don't need traditions you don't believe in.
You don't need to justify your choice to anyone.
You just need each other.
And someone who understands why that's enough.
That's where I come in.
LOCATION GUIDANCE
WHERE SHOULD
YOU ELOPE?
Some couples know immediately. "Iceland. Done."
Others are deciding between three countries.
Or they know the vibe but not the place.
Or they have a place but aren't sure if it's "elopement-worthy."
HERE'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED AFTER
14 YEARS DOCUMENTING ACROSS EUROPE
The "best" location isn't the one with the most dramatic landscape.
It's the one that matches YOUR energy.
If you're quiet people → Copenhagen, Hamburg, quiet Tuscany valleys
If you want drama → Dolomites, Iceland, Irish cliffs
If you want romance → Paris, Amalfi Coast, Venice canals
If you want adventure → Scotland Highlands, Gran Canaria hiking
Why the hell would you elope?
Because love isn't a performance. Because you deserve to feel everything — without an audience. Because there's no rulebook for what you're allowed to feel or where you're allowed to say yes.
I know, because I eloped myself. I've stood in that quiet, defiant space where the day is entirely yours. No performance, no audience — just the two of you and the choice you made together.
You know what I'm tired of seeing? Couples spending more money on one day than most people make in a year, just to perform their love for people who don't even get what makes them tick.
Look, I get it. Everyone's telling you that small weddings are 'easier' or 'cheaper.' That's bullshit. What they are is more intentional. More you.
I've shot elopements from Hamburg's industrial soul to Iceland's raw landscapes, and here's what I've learned: the couples who choose this path aren't looking for easy. They're looking for real.
Every story deserves to be told. Yours too.
WHY ELOPEMENTS MATTER
NOT A PERFORMANCE. NOT A SHOW.
JUST THE TWO OF YOU — RAW, REAL, UNFORGETTABLE.
Be remembered
Walk away with memories that feel like they belong to you — not a template. Your story, your way, captured honestly, to relive over and over.
Walk away with art—images so striking they transcend the day itself and become something you're proud to display, not just because you're in them, but because they're genuinely beautiful.
ACT 02
Be present
This is where it gets real. I might direct you like we're shooting a film scene—because sometimes we are. Every composition matters. Every moment could be the one that defines how your story lives forever. I might disappear and capture you forgetting I exist. But everything comes from who you really are together.
ACT 01
Be free
Leave the expectations behind.
No timeline, no stage, no audience — just your love, exactly as it is.
Untamed. Unfiltered. Yours.
ACT 03
Slow it down. Forget the world for a while. You don’t have to know where you’re going — only why.
Here’s how we make it happen.
Three simple steps to something unforgettable.
SHOW UP & BE YOU
On the day, you just breathe, love, and be present. I’ll take care of the rest — nothing forced, nothing fake.
STEP 02
LET'S DREAM TOGETHER
We talk. Not about poses or Pinterest boards, but about what makes you feel alive. Quiet forest or bustling city. Hamburg or halfway around the world. Together, we figure out where your story wants to happen.
STEP 01
REACH OUT
Tell me what’s on your mind. You don’t need a date, a plan, or the perfect words — just reach out.
STEP 03
Here's what makes this different: I don't just document your elopement. I help you create it.
And every frame is deliberate. This isn't just documentation—we're creating images that could live on gallery walls, album covers, or film posters. Your love story told with the same intention as a piece of art.
From scouting locations that feel like you to timing everything around the light, from knowing which Hamburg neighborhoods have the best industrial backdrops to understanding which seasons work best in Iceland — this isn't just photography. It's collaboration.
Every story here started the same way — with two people brave enough to choose their own way.

Every story is different — and so is the investment. Most couples invest between €2,400 and €8,200 for their elopement experience, depending on where your story takes us.
The freedom to choose how and where you elope comes first. We'll figure out how to make it work.
