Stepping out of the noise into something real
Specialized in Switzerland • Iceland • Dolomites
Photographing and planning overseas elopements since 2017.
Usually with hiking boots and a full heart.
For couples who want to wander, not pose.
To move through wild landscapes together.
To laugh, breathe, touch, and actually be there.
Limited to 10 elopements per year
What if your elopement felt like the best part of your travels?
Not the part you planned the most. The part you actually felt.
The part where the noise drops away.
Where you stop checking the time.
Where you remember why you wanted to go in the first place.
Cold hands. Warm light.
Wind in your hair. Quiet between sentences.
Not because it was perfect. Because it was real.
An experience that doesn’t feel like a wedding.
Just… life, happening.
More than photography
This isn’t a few hours and a goodbye. It’s days that stretch. Mornings that start early. Evenings that run long. Coffee in the cold. Wind in your hair. Quiet in between. And that good tired you only get outside.
It’s moving through places together. Finding the light. Missing it. Finding it again. Laughing. Walking. Sitting. Letting things unfold.
Everything that needs to be handled is handled – planning, timing, logistics, coordination – so you don’t have to manage anything. The day (or days) move around you, not the other way around.
And what you take home isn’t just images. It’s art that holds the feeling. The tired-happy kind. The “that really happened” kind.

What Real Elopements Feel Like
Hi, I’m Eline
Elopement photographer and experience designer
I grew up with paint-stained hands and alpine air. My father was an artist, and our family moved between the Netherlands, Switzerland, and France.
I’ve lived in six countries, speak six languages, and eloped because a traditional wedding didn’t fit us. That choice – to do something completely ours – changed how I see celebration.
My family spent 2024 in the Swiss Alps. These mountains aren’t work to me. They’re home.
Now I guide couples through the same landscapes. Not because I studied them in a guidebook, but because I’ve lived in them.

In Their Words
B & J
“Our experience with Eline was top tier. From the very beginning she guided me through every single step. She did all of the leg work. From figuring out what time the sun hits certain spots, what restaurants would accommodate our plant-based diet, to going out of her way to make sure we were comfortable in every situation. Really, all we did was show up and live out the dream she turned into a reality.”
L & R
“She helped plan our dream elopement to be even more than what we envisioned. I didn’t know such an amazing day was possible. There isn’t one thing I would change about the 2-day elopement we had. 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. Our pictures are so incredibly beautiful. I will never stop obsessing over them.”
A & T
“Today marks one year since our wedding and we are still reeling from that happy day and the memories Eline so perfectly captured. Eline made it so easy to collaborate and kept communication open and flowing with us as we crafted our special day. We can’t say enough how warm and friendly she was with us, while also keeping us on schedule, making the most of our 8 hours together.”
