It’s me, Nico.
Thank you for being here!
One of my elementary school reports once said something like: “Nico tries to push himself into the spotlight every day with cheeky remarks.”
What was unfortunately true back then, couldn’t hardly be a less accurate description of me today, well over two decades later.
Today, I’m quiet, calm and introverted, always the one who never gets rattled. Photographers are often also entertainers but even if I wanted to, I could never be that. I love silence, tranquility, and meaningful conversations.
I believe in everyone’s right to be who they truly are. To love and marry whoever they feel like.
I believe no tradition or societal norm should tell you how your relationship is supposed to look, or how your wedding should unfold. You don’t need to fit into a box to be worthy of celebration.
At the heart of it all, I believe in kindness and the strength of empathy.
I believe that every being on this planet has a life worth living and isn’t here to be used. That we all deserve the space to simply be. And to be part of a world that chooses compassion over convenience.
I believe that in a world that often asks you to be something else, you deserve to fully be yourself.
And unsurprisingly:
I eloped as well!
The only way of getting married I actually felt comfortable with.
And here’s why:
Nothing else made any sense.
When my beautiful wife Jana and I got engaged (in front of a huge canyon in Iceland – pretty epic, huh?) and tried to come up with wedding plans, we quickly felt lost. My year-long experience with documenting weddings was no help when it came to planning our own.
Our struggles:
So going the traditional way was simply the wrong choice for us.
Instead:
We did it our way
We’ve always loved Scandinavia (I especially) and had our most memorable vacations up north in Sweden. So we invited our three closest and dearest friends to join us there and eloped.
Our private ceremony in the middle of a scenic forest, where we shared our vows, exchanged our rings and cried like babies, is something we’ll never forget. And, most importantly: it finally felt like the right wedding for us.
To also legally marry we simply had our civil ceremony at home in Germany. On that day our closest family was also included, so in the end we had the best of both worlds.

Now you might be wondering:
Why am I telling you all of this?
Because this makes me much more than just your Elopement Photographer!
Your Elopement Expert,
your Travel Guide,
your Emotional Support,
your Feel-Good-Manager
I told you about my Elopement journey because (in addition to all the Elopements I documented) it makes me fully understand yours. Which is why this is so much more than just another job for me.
I truly believe your story and uniqueness matters and that you deserve a wedding unlike any other. The photos of it all will be amazing, but my passion to make your dreams become reality goes much further than that:
But who is this for?
If the following sounds like you – we’re a perfect match
Of course there’s many facets to being introverted, but personally, I thrive when things feel calm. When there’s no rush and no need to check the time. When there’s space to truly enjoy and take in the experience you’re having. When a moment of silence and tranquility doesn’t equal awkwardness.
Does that sound like you, too? Then I know you don’t need to have a big and loud day to be seen.
This right here is for the quiet introverts who believe less is more. Who’d rather whisper vows on a windy cliff than dance in front of a hundred people. Who know themselves well and stand up for what they know is right for them.
This is for you.
You want a wedding that feels like you. A wedding that excites you and is grounded in who you are – not one that feels like a performance.
You’re also not one to follow a script. You choose meaning over tradition and connection over decoration.
You’re dreaming of a slow morning and a day that unfolds gently. A day guided by thoughtful choices and led by emotion. A space to just be.
This is for you.
Not being afraid to do things differently is a superpower. And so is being bold enough to go for the unconventional.
You crave something exceptional and unique. Something deep and unforgettable that sweeps you off your feet.
You’re brave enough to know that something like a dirty dress or messy hair on a gusty mountaintop won’t stop you from having the adventure of a lifetime.
You’re in for the experience and to break free from what’s expected and “normal”.
This is for you.
And, uhh:
I’m also quite good at this photo thing, too, though
