“If you are eloping, look no further – you’ve found the perfect photographer!”
Caitlyn & Sara
Your elopement photographer & planner in Madeira
Hey, I’m Nico.
I design, plan and photograph introvert-friendly elopements in Madeira for couples who seek the extraordinary and feel most alive outdoors.
And as I’m sure you know by now, there’s no better place for it than this one.
Ever since my first elopement in Madeira, this stunning little island took my breath away. Now, years later, I’ve explored so many of its incredible landscapes and cannot wait to help you elope in some of them.
With expert guidance, personalized planning and location scouting that matches your vision, I’m much more than just your photographer, and will be with you every step of the way.

But who is this for?
If the following sounds like you, we’re a perfect match
You wouldn’t believe how many people tell me they feel like this. And I get it – I literally felt the same when I decided to elope. So this is for those who thrive when things feel calm.
If you would rather whisper vows on a windy cliff than dance in front of a hundred people, let’s make it happen. Together, we’ll create a day in Madeira that allows you to fully be yourself.
Choosing to elope in Madeira gets you the opposite of what weddings are often like. Instead of being stressed and anxious, you’ll feel calm and free. Instead of dealing with a never-ending to-do list, you’ll get all of the fun and none of the pressure.
And even better – with me planning the whole thing for you, you pretty much only need to show up.
Well, thankfully, Madeira has more than enough of those. No matter if it’s in front of an epic cliff at sunset, on top of a mountain at sunrise, or maybe in some misty forests – I’ll find the perfect location for you, pinky promise.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to have anything figured out yet
You’ve already completed the hardest step: Knowing that a big, traditional wedding simply isn’t right for you. And that you’d much rather be in an incredible place like Madeira.
For everything that comes next, I’m right by your side.
If right now, all you have is some kind of vision for your elopement in Madeira, that’s more than enough to get us started, I promise.
Custom-crafted elopement planning – limited to only 15 couples per year
To make sure I actually have the time, energy, and undivided attention for you and your plans, I heavily limit how much I take on each year.
And I never photograph the same elopement twice. Every single step, from the locations, vendors, to timeline, logistics and much more, will be personally crafted for you by me.
