“If you are eloping, look no further – you’ve found the perfect photographer!”

Caitlyn & Sara

Hey. I’m Nico.

Your elopement photographer & planner

With 10+ years of experience in this industry and having eloped myself, I plan and capture intentional, introvert-friendly elopements for couples who believe that less is more and feel most alive outdoors.

From the moment you inquire to the day you receive your breathtaking photos of the adventure you’ve had, with expert guidance and planning that matches your vision, I’m with you every step of the way.

But who is this for?

If the following sounds like you, we’re a perfect match

You don’t enjoy being the center of attention

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 that allows you to fully be yourself.

You want to avoid the stress & drama of a big wedding

Listen, contrary to what your aunt says, big weddings simply aren’t fun for everyone. Here, you get to fully avoid the family drama, the endless to-do list, and the unwanted opinions of everyone else.

And even better – with me planning the whole thing for you, you pretty much only need to show up.

You want to say your vows in a breathtaking place

You know that a dirty dress or messy hair won’t stop you from having the adventure of a lifetime. And pinky-promise – I’ll find the perfect location for you to make it happen. Let’s break free from what’s expected and “normal”, and make you say your vows in a place you’ll never forget.

“Everything we hoped for and more!”

“Hiring Nico was hands-down one of the best choices we made for our elopement. He was not only our photographer, but also our guide, planner and a genuinely wonderful person to spend such a special day with.

He scouted stunning locations, built us a custom timeline and even connected us with amazing local vendors, which made planning from afar completely stress-free. And the photos are everything we hoped for and more.

If you’re considering eloping and want someone who is talented, thoughtful and genuinely invested in your experience, we cannot recommend Nico enough. He went above and beyond in every way and gave us a day we’ll never forget.”

– Danielle & Darren 🇨🇦

No more pressure and catering to everyone’s expectations

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

I’m really proud of you for knowing that a big, traditional wedding simply isn’t right for you.

And I’m here to tell you: You’re 100% on the right track. You deserve more than the norm, more than the average.

I’ll make sure your elopement feels like you and allows you to experience and see something truly exceptional and unique.

From mind-blowing views to happy tears and heartfelt hugs – this will simply be fun. As it should be.

But why me?

Because this isn’t just a job to me – it’s personal

Just like you, I eloped too. You deserve to feel just as valued, seen and full of love as I did on my own elopement.

I truly believe your story and uniqueness matter, which is why I give my all to ensure you have the intimate wedding experience of your dreams.

With me by your side as your fellow introvert, you’ll have the space to fully be yourself and savor every second of this incredible, joyful adventure.

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.

Since we’ll be in touch regularly to shape your entire experience together, it’s not rare for me to become great friends with my clients, which might be my favorite part of this job.

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 by me to perfectly match your vision.

“The best from start to finish!”

“10/10! Nico was the best from start to finish.

He helped plan our elopement day, found cool spots for us to check out, while keeping our vision and interests top of mind.

From immediately putting us at ease on the big day, to playing our favorite music, to possessing a keen attention to detail and creative artistic style, Nico is a master behind the camera!

We’re beyond thankful to Nico for his breathtaking, incredibly beautiful photos that perfectly capture our enthusiasm, happiness and love.”

Reviews from past couples

“Nico was fantastic from the first day we met on Zoom to even after the photos were delivered. He planned the perfect elopement and listened to everything we thought would make our day special.

He always made us feel comfortable and made our photos feel naturally us. And the photos are beyond anything we could have dreamed of. So incredibly beautiful. We couldn’t have wished for anything different.

If you are eloping, look no further you have found the perfect photographer!”

– Caitlyn & Sara, eloped in Italy

“We can wholeheartedly recommend Nico – he doesn’t just do his job, he puts his heart and soul into making your day perfect. […]

Once we contacted him, everything went like clockwork. He not only scouted the most beautiful locations on-site but also did everything in advance to relieve us of as much stress as possible. On the day itself, Nico was relaxed and calm. […]

Thank you Nico, for being the solution to all our problems! You gave us a perfect day that we will certainly talk about for many, many years to come.”

– Sibylle & Alex, eloped in Sweden

“Such a wonderful person – we immediately felt comfortable around Nico and the photos simply left us speechless. […] He captured our emotions, so many details and the atmosphere so perfectly that we couldn’t believe it. Each photo is more beautiful than the next, yet they look even better as a whole – storytelling at its finest!

From choosing the locations to the incredibly beautiful photos, we couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. It was such an emotional, breathtaking and unforgettable journey that we highly recommend to every couple.”

FAQs – The finishing touches

When you inquire, I’ll get back to you within 48 hours, and you’ll receive a link to schedule a free consultation call with me. I’ll also quickly reach out via text, so we can get in touch there first too if that’s more comfortable for you.

If you decide to book me after our call, we’ll sign a contract and a retainer will need to be paid to secure your date. Afterwards I’ll get started on planning your elopement with you.

I probably cover at least 90 % of my elopements for a full day of around 10 hours, so we never really need to check the time. For international bookings, possible coverage ranges from 4-hours to multi-day though.

A “full-day elopement” might sound like a lot, but it really isn’t. A day like this is about much more than just taking a few quick photos. It’s about having time to explore, adventure and take it all in. This way, your photos will tell a much bigger story and include all the heartfelt in-between moments.

It’ll be a super relaxed day, where we check out a bunch of cool looking locations, do you ceremony in one of them, take amazing photos and maybe even plan a fun activity like a hike or helicopter ride if your like.

An elopement is the best vacation day you’ve ever had. Or the best day of your honeymoon.

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 words “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 distant 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.

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 stay in the area for at least one full back-up-day before flying home anyway, just in case. This way we’re prepared for anything.

A symbolic ceremony (with or without an officiant) would make our planning process much easier, allow for more flexibility and you’d simply take care of the legal paperwork at home. However, I totally get why some couples want their elopement to be “official.” So assuming we’re in a country where it’s possible for you to legally marry, it’s entirely up to you.

Thanks to my limited number of bookings per year, I rarely need more than two weeks to finish a gallery. Speaking of the gallery, you’ll receive a link and password to access it. This is where you’ll be able to view, share, download and print your photos.

I’ll also make sure to send over a handful of preview photos no more than 48 hours after your elopement.

Trust me, that’s what most couples think before their elopement with me. Every single photo you’ve ever seen from me is taken of a real, ordinary couple. No models or professionals, just amazing humans on one of their life’s greatest days.

All you have to do is be yourself and be present in every moment – I’ll take care of all the rest for you and make it as easy, laid-back, unposed and beginner-friendly as possible, don’t worry.

To be safe, between May and September, inquiring with me 8–10 months in advance is usually best.

But don’t worry if you’re planning to elope on much shorter notice – I often still have some of availability, especially if you’re a bit flexible regarding your date. Simply reach out and we’ll make something happen.

Rarely, but occasionally, yes! While my entire 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, reach out to me anytime.
