Adventure Elopement Photography

& Planning Guidance across the Swiss Alps, Dolomites & Iceland

Where your vows meet the elements

You’re an unapologetic dream chaser, and that’s what I love about you. You deserve a celebration that reflects who you are – quietly bold, deeply felt, and shaped by the wild.

Forget all that you’re supposed to do. Imagine your wedding, fully designed for just the two of you. Picture exchanging vows surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Dolomites, the flowing glaciers of Iceland, or the majestic summits of the Alps – where quiet reflection meets profound connection.

Your elopement should be as free as your love, creating moments that echo through time.

Limited to 10 exclusive elopements per year – ensuring each experience receives my complete attention and care. Whether we have months to plan together or you’re ready for a spontaneous adventure, your elopement gets my full focus

WHAT SETS NORTH WIND ELOPEMENTS APART

An Experience-First Approach

Unlike more traditional approaches that focus primarily on capturing specific shots, I place your experience at the center of everything. Your elopement day flows naturally around who you are as a couple – never rushed, never stiffly posed, but alive with authentic moments.

I honor your comfort, embracing weather as part of your story rather than an obstacle. Creating space for you to breathe fully into each moment, I move between guiding and stepping back, always prioritizing how your day feels rather than how it “should” look.

Overnight & Multi-Day Experiences

I believe in creating space for your elopement to breathe and evolve naturally. Overnight and multi-day experiences allow you to sink into each moment – perhaps spending nights in a mountain refugio with only stars overhead, witnessing both the golden glow of sunset and the quiet blue of dawn.

This unhurried approach creates natural rhythms of excitement, reflection, and celebration – ensuring your elopement feels like the significant beginning it truly is, rather than a fleeting moment that passes too quickly.

Time to breathe, space to feel, freedom to be. This is what elopements deserve.

Personalized Planning & Location Wisdom

I offer more than just photography – I’m here to help shape your vision with both practical wisdom and emotional insight. From finding hidden locations to crafting timelines that breathe, we’ll build your day thoughtfully, one meaningful detail at a time.

Some places have a way of speaking directly to certain souls. Drawing on my deep connection with these landscapes, I’ll suggest locations that align with not just your aesthetic vision, but how you want to feel – whether that’s standing in awed silence before a dramatic glacier, sharing intimate vows in a meadow cradled by mountains, or watching aurora dance above a black sand beach.

Embracing Weather as Part of Your Story

Mountain and coastal weather tells its own stories, shifting and changing like emotions throughout a day. Rather than fighting against this beautiful unpredictability, we embrace it as part of your unique narrative.

I’ll share insights about seasons of your chosen location to help you choose times that align with your vision while staying flexible. Sometimes, the most breathtaking moments come when clouds part unexpectedly or when soft snow begins to fall during your vows.

Your LOVE,

A 3-day Alpine Elopement

Stacy & Stephen

“Eline truly went above and beyond to make our elopement everything we dreamed of. From the very first zoom call, her warm, calming presence allowed us to trust her wholeheartedly and from then on she exceeded all expectations. She was so extremely knowledgeable about the locations and came up with an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted and then some.

As our weather did not exactly cooperate with us, she was so flexible and willing to do everything in her power to ensure our day was special. Eline was able to come up with a new game plan on the fly that may have turned out even better than the original plan.

We were fortunate enough to have extended one on one time with her, and got to know her beautiful, kind soul. She made us feel so comfortable, as if we were hanging out with a lifelong friend.

The icing on the cake is her incredible photography skills, and her ability to create truly stunning photos. We cannot thank Eline enough for an unforgettable and magical experience!”

Meet Eline

My journey began with my own elopement, which inspired me to help couples create intimate and meaningful celebrations. Growing up across Europe, I developed a passion for adventure and the beauty of love stories, leading me to specialize in intimate elopements in some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations.

Guided by Art, Rooted in Connection

I can’t imagine my life without art; it’s woven into my very essence. This profound connection to creativity doesn’t just shape my personal world – it’s the lens through which I view and capture the love stories of the couples I work with.

I was raised in a home where art wasn’t just created; it was lived. My father, a painter known for unearthing the soul in his subjects, taught me to look beyond the surface. This guides every elopement I capture. I’m not seeking mere pretty pictures – I’m searching for those defining moments that illustrate the epic story of your journey together.

When my husband and I eloped, our ceremony was perfect, but the elopement experience itself ended before we really got to celebrate. We found ourselves thinking “what now?” afterward, leaving us with an unexpected sense of anticlimax. This experience taught me that elopements deserve thoughtful celebration beyond just the vows – creating space and time to truly absorb the significance of your beginning.

I’m not just here to take photos – I’m here to help you create an elopement that feels like you. From the first steps of planning to the moment you say “I do,” I’ll be there to guide and support you, surrounded by the incredible beauty of nature and the elements.

How it Works

Your elopement is a story waiting to be written, not a template waiting to be filled

01.

Connect & Dream Together

We start with conversation about your relationship, what matters most to you, and how you want to celebrate this beginning. Don’t worry about having a fixed date or location when you reach out – many couples come to me with just a feeling or an idea. I’m here to listen and understand both what you envision and how you want your elopement to feel.

02.

Co-Create with Intention

Together, we’ll build your elopement experience – finding locations that resonate with your story, identifying the ideal season, and incorporating elements meaningful to you. Having lived across Europe, I bring deep local knowledge to every aspect of your journey – from hidden ceremony spots to recommendations for your entire European adventure. I’ll share accommodation suggestions and connect you with trusted local vendors who align with our values, handling the logistics so you can focus on each other.

03.

Experience Fully & Authentically

When your elopement arrives, the space is yours to be present in each moment. I move with the natural rhythm of your day, sometimes offering suggestions, often stepping back, always documenting authentically. From dawn until stars appear, I’ll capture both the intimate interactions and breathtaking landscapes that tell your complete story.

What Couples Are Saying

Lindsay

a 2-day Elopement

“She helped plan our dream elopement to be even more than what we envisioned. I trusted Eline to make decisions for me on situations that I wasn’t completely sure what would be best, and I knew that if something were to go wrong, she had a back-up plan ready.”

Nicole

a 2-day Elopement

“Thank you for giving us the most special day and for caring about who we are as individuals and making our day unique to us! Even if you go for a bare bones elopement, ask Eline if she is free. She’ll make your wonderful day magical and capture how you feel so you can relive it for the rest of your lives.”

Mitchell

a 2-day Elopement

“She went above and beyond what we could have imagined in simply helping us plan, and then we got to see her photography work which is spectacular. We were so blessed to have not only worked with Eline, but also gained a new friend. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

Commonly Asked Questions

I specialize in creating intimate elopement experiences across three breathtaking regions: the Swiss Alps, the Italian Dolomites, and Iceland. Each offers its own distinct landscapes and atmosphere – from the pristine mountain lakes of Switzerland to the dramatic spires of the Dolomites and the otherworldly terrain of Iceland.

While I focus on these core regions, I don’t view them as rigid boundaries. I often create experiences that blend neighboring areas – combining a Swiss ridge with an Austrian mountain pass, or pairing the rugged Dolomites with the rolling hills of Tuscany. My approach is centered on crafting the experience that resonates most with your story, even if that means crossing borders to create something uniquely yours.

During our planning conversations, we’ll explore which landscapes speak to you most deeply and design a journey that captures exactly what you’re envisioning, whether that’s within one distinct region or a thoughtfully combined experience.

Yes. I specialize exclusively in intimate, guest-free experiences for just the two of you. This intentional focus allows me to create deeply personal, unrestricted celebrations where you can be completely authentic without any external expectations or compromises. With only the two of us present, we have the freedom to explore remote landscapes, change plans spontaneously with the weather, and create an experience that’s entirely centered on your connection.

Yes, I offer two ways to support your elopement journey. For couples who want expert guidance while maintaining creative control, I provide comprehensive planning consultation – recommending hidden ceremony spots, authentic accommodations, trusted local vendors, and meaningful celebration ideas throughout your journey.

For couples who want to focus entirely on each other, I also offer all-inclusive experiences where I coordinate every detail – from hair and makeup to transportation, florals, and celebration meals. Having lived in these landscapes for years, I’ve cultivated relationships with people who share our values of authenticity and respect for these places.

Whether you choose collaborative planning or complete coordination, you’ll have access to years of local knowledge and trusted connections that create space for your love story to unfold naturally.

Not at all. While I offer options for all activity levels, many of the most breathtaking locations are accessible with minimal hiking. I select locations based on your comfort, preferences, and the experience you’re seeking – from gentle meadow walks to mountain cable cars that bring you directly to panoramic views. Your elopement should feel joyful and freeing, never physically taxing.

Most couples choose overnight experiences (10 hours spread over 24 hours) or multi-day adventures. This approach allows you to find true seclusion by spending the night in mountain refugios in the Dolomites, alpine huts in Switzerland, or remote lodges in Iceland. You’ll witness both golden hour sunsets and star-filled skies, and potentially even experience phenomena like the northern lights in Iceland. The unhurried pace creates space for both meaningful ceremony moments and natural celebration, fully immersing you in each landscape’s unique character.

Alpine and coastal weather is beautifully unpredictable. I monitor conditions closely and create flexible plans that allow us to adapt while maintaining the integrity of your experience. Often, changing conditions create the most extraordinary light and atmosphere – some of my favorite elopement images have come from “imperfect” weather days. The shifting moods of the mountains and coasts become part of your unique story. Read more about embracing mountain weather →

The legal requirements for marriage vary significantly between Switzerland, Italy, and Iceland – each has its own process, documentation needs, and residency requirements. Most couples choose to complete their legal marriage at home before or after their destination elopement, allowing complete freedom for their ceremony experience without navigating complex international bureaucracy.

If you’re interested in legally marrying abroad, I can guide you through the specific requirements for your chosen location and connect you with local resources to help with documentation and translation. What matters most is creating a day that feels authentic to you – the legalities can be arranged in whatever way serves your vision best.

Most couples begin their elopement day feeling a bit camera-shy – it’s completely natural. My approach focuses on creating space for you to be fully present with each other, not performing for the lens. Through our planning process, which includes video calls and video recorded messages, you’ll get to know me quite well before we ever meet in person. This familiarity typically eases much of the initial camera shyness by your elopement day.

I’ll offer gentle guidance when helpful and step back when you’re having natural moments. By the end of our time together, most couples tell me they forgot the camera was even there. The connection and trust we build during planning creates the foundation for authentic documentation that truly reflects who you are together.

For peak season dates (June-September), I recommend booking 8-12 months in advance. For spring and fall dates, 4-8 months is typically sufficient. With only 10 elopements per year, dates do fill quickly – especially for weekends during the summer months. That said, with life’s unpredictability, I’m sometimes able to fit an elopement in at the last minute, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your timeline is shorter. This limited schedule allows me to give each couple my complete attention throughout the planning process and ensure every detail of your experience is thoughtfully crafted.

Let’s Co-Create Your Adventure Elopement

Your love story deserves to be honored with intention and depth. Together, we’ll craft an elopement experience that echoes the raw beauty of alpine landscapes while creating space for you to be fully present with each other.

This journey isn’t about escaping – it’s about coming home to what matters most: your connection, celebrated authentically against breathtaking backdrops that become part of your story.

For those who feel drawn to mountains and meaningful moments, who value artistry and emotional presence, who seek a celebration as unique as their love – I’m here to guide, support, and capture every fleeting, precious moment.
