Not just a Wedding.
Not just a Photographer.

An experience as unique as yours will be, deserves more than just another photographer to quickly capture it and be done with it.

Which is why your Elopement
means everything to me:

  • natural and candid photos that capture what your day actually felt like
  • creating a safe space for you to fully be yourself and feel comfortable
  • guiding and assisting you throughout your entire planning process
  • fully understanding what it’s like to be in your shoes, since I’ve experienced it all myself

You’re one of few instead of one of many:

I only take on a maximum of 15 Elopements per year

to make sure I’m fully present for yours

No more pressure and catering to everyone’s expectations

From here on out it’s a smooth ride to the wedding of your dreams

It’s not always easy to know that you’re just not fitting in with what’s expected to be the norm when it comes to weddings and I’m really proud of you for standing up for it.

I’m here to tell you though: You’re on the right track. You deserve more than the norm, more than the average.

Together we’ll create a day like no other.

A customized and tailored approach

Since there’s no one like you, there’s also no Elopement like your’s

From your location selection, timeline, vendor recommendations and activity suggestions – everything will be personally designed by me specifically for you.

With all my yearlong experience I’ll guide and assist you every step of the way. Always just a quick text or a phone call away to make sure you have everything you need.

No matter where your Elopement dreams take you

What a “full-day Elopement” feels like:

A whole day of fun, laughter and joy

Big plans like yours don’t involve a huge venue and hundreds of guests. And rightly so, because cutting these things off allows for a day that surpasses all of it.

From the first rays of sunshine in the morning to a magical sunset – you get to enjoy every single second of this. All while being your true self and feeling celebrated and seen without any judgement or hesitations.

And it’ll all be part of your epic photo story!

  • the excitement as you’re getting ready and slowly start your day
  • exploring incredible places and enjoying mind-blowing views
  • a fun activity you and your partner love
  • the happy tears and heartfelt hugs as you’re reading your vows and finally get married
  • a true documentation of what your Elopement felt like, captured for eternity

Let’s talk details:

I research the best photo locations for you, consider the expected weather, sunrise and sunset times, the sun’s trajectory and ultimately ensure that we are in the right place at the right time.

Activity Suggestions

No matter if you’re planning a 1- or 2-day Elopement, there is probably plenty of room for at least one activity of your choice. Together we’ll explore and plan one that can be seamlessly integrated into your Elopement.

The final finishing touches

I probably cover at least 90 % of my Elopements for a full day – without an hourly limit, so we never need to check the time. Possible coverage ranges from 4-hours to multi-day though.

Every Elopement is different, but it usually looks something like this:

After you start your day well-rested with a long breakfast, I join you for your Getting Ready. Then we head to the first 1-2 locations that we’ve selected in the weeks prior and then grab some lunch along the way. Perhaps you’ve also chosen one of the many possible activities for this time (see above).

In the late afternoon it might finally be time for your ceremony, your vows and some more photos at sunset.

If the spirit of adventure takes hold of you and you love the idea that a shared hobby or something else that connects you can be part of your wedding, then a second day might be the perfect thing for you.

It could include photos at sunrise or yet another activity of your choice. Imagine climbing mountain peaks together, discovering your dream location from the water, or off-roading through the vastness of nature, all captured as part of your epic story!

No, you don’t. If hiking is your thing – great, let’s absolutely include that and hike to an epic place!

If it isn’t, don’t worry. I’ll create a timeline for you that includes locations that are easy to get to and don’t require any hiking at all.

100 % yes! There’s no rule that states that an Elopement has to be with just the two of you. If you want to bring some witnesses for your ceremony, your closest friends or maybe some family members, go ahead. Or bring your dog. Please bring your dog.

Close your eyes and think about the greatest place you’ve ever been to. Or just think about the word Adventure Elopement and see what’s the first thing your mind comes up with.

Choose a location that may have significance for you. It could be your dream destination for many years, the most beautiful vacation spot you’ve shared, or a country where you somehow feel at home.

Need some help with this? I got you. Then this will be the first thing we talk about in our call.

That depends. For a symbolic ceremony, no. You could of course hire someone local for this or even ask a friend (that’s what I did for my own Elopement).

A legal ceremony requires someone who’s authorized to officiate it and some paperwork though. If getting legally married in your Elopement country is what seems right to you, we’ll talk about this in more detail.

Could make for some epic photos, don’t you think? But of course it’s still part of my job to always have a plan-b in case anything comes up.

Our schedule for your day will always allow us to easily change things around if necessary. For international Elopements I often stay in the area for another back-up-day before flying home anyway, just in case. This way we’re prepared for anything.

Rarely, but occasionally, yes! While my focus is on Elopements, I still love calm, laid-back garden weddings, heartfelt celebrations in a summery country home or anything like it. If this sounds like you, or if you have something similar in mind, please reach out to me anytime.

And? Ready?

Let’s go!

You don’t need to have it all figured out yet, don’t worry.

Just drop me a message and I’ll get back to you within 48h. I can’t wait to hear from you, learn about your plans and make them become reality for you.

You can of course also fill out this form in German if you like!
