On a cold november afternoon I got into my frozen car and drove one of the most icy and dangerous roads I've ever seen, to go on an adventure with these two. It might have…
Adventure elopements
We are here only for such a short period of time. That’s why I believe it’s so important to have a wedding day that’s 100% intentional.
The wedding industry creates a lot of expectations about how your day should go. You might have a completely different idea of your dream wedding day.
- You feel like the standard big wedding is not really your thing. Stressing over gifts, logistics, family drama is not why you got engaged in the first place.
- You rather want to have a once in a lifetime adventure together than spending all your savings on decoration, a DJ and food for 100 people.
- You don't want to settle for something just 'because it's done a certain way'. Your own experience is more important than what other people think of your wedding day.
You came to the right place!
Because let me tell you this: you deserve a totally epic, true to you wedding day & celebrate your love the way you want to!
Eloping can be a scary thing - believe me - I get it. But what if I tell you that deciding to elope means choosing:
- to have a stress-free wedding day that you can actually enjoy every second of
- to spend your precious time in a way you want, no matter what others think
- to have a day that's built around your personalities and the things you love
Imagine exploring new places with the person you love most.. Why not make that your wedding day?
I'd love to help you craft an elopement day that reflects who you are and what you love doing most. I want to create a unique experience and safe space where we can all be ourselves and enjoy the adventure together. While you're having the time of your life doing all the things you love, in the most beautiful landscapes, I will capture that deep connection and create some breathtaking art so you'll always have a way to look back on these precious memories.
Dirty dresses and hiking shoes on your wedding day, count me in!
I'm here not just as your photographer, but also as your best friend, personal advisor & adventure guide. I will help you focus on the things that really matter when getting married. I'll make sure you have the adventure of your lifetime, a wedding experience that is 100% you!
More about meWith eloping, everything becomes possible
Your wedding day should be a reflection of your personalities. You can fill your day with activities & experiences that are super meaningful to both of you. Unlike a big traditional wedding, an elopement can be whatever you want it to be. You could travel to a beautiful place you’ve always wanted to visit, spend the day hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing or exploring in a 4×4. Anything!
Let's start planning your perfect elopement day!
How does it work?
01 Let's meet
In an informal Zoom call we can discuss all your ideas & wishes and we get to see if there is a connection between us. Afterwards I will send you a personalised timeline for your day.
02 Book & plan
If you decide to book me I’ll probably do a little dance! I will send you my elopement guide, we can discuss what location and activities would suit best and I can give you suggestions for vendors. We will shape the timeline until it reflects the day you desire. I will personally scout the perfect location(s) for you in advance.
03 Elope!
The day before your elopement we can meet up in person to get to know each other even better. And then you’re finally getting married! You’re going to have a once in a lifetime experience, I promise.
04 Enjoy
Within a week after your elopement day I’ll send you a little sneak peek of your photos and within 10 weeks you will receive the entire selection in a personal online gallery. You’ll be able to cherish these memories with some breathtaking artwork for the rest of your lives.

Sustainable photography
With my love for this beautiful planet, I became highly aware of the environmental impact we have on it. That’s why nature is at the heart of all my (business) decisions. Here’s what that means:
- I’m planting a tree for every elopement or photo album order.
- I only travel within Europe and try to go by train or car whenever I can. I often try to stay longer in one destination and combine things if possible. I will always offset my carbon footprint.
- I'm a Leave No Trace certified photographer. This means I'll do everything in my power to not interfere with the natural processes of the earth and leave the outdoors as we found it.
- My photo album supplier is carefully selected. My albums are handmade in the Netherlands with sustainable & durable materials.
- I have a business bank account with a sustainable bank. I am very conscious when it comes to all my other business investments. Transparency is important to me. You can ask me anything!
