Hey there adventurers!
So what is this thing we call an elopement?
An elopement is an intentionally small, intimate, meaningful, authentic wedding day that’s a true reflection of who THE TWO OF YOU are, and a celebration of your love in which you do the things you've ALWAYS dreamed of.
This doesn't mean there won't be any guests, the great thing is that's all up to you! So an elopement can differ from being just the two of you (+ a wedding officiant for the official part + me as your photographer), to having a small selection of your most favorite people in the world there, usually up to max 20 guests.
Hello lovely people from all over the world!
Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime?

The best thing about eloping is that there are
no rules (freeedom!) and you can create an intentionally intimate wedding day that truly reflects who you are.
It can look like just the two of you rowing to a deserted island in a lake and saying your vows there in the privacy of just the two of you in the ruins of a cathedral, or inviting your dearest people to a handfasting ceremony in the Highlands of Scotland, or hiking up a glacier in Iceland with a soak in a thermal bath by the ocean afterwards to celebrate you getting married. Or what about doing a multiple day hike to that waterfall, while camping in the wild and having your ceremony witnessed by foxes and deer. Anything is possible!
Or, if you want to stay closer to home (wherever that may be), your wedding day can look like going up to a beautifully designed cabin by the sea or in the forest, relax together, going for a hot air balloon ride in the afternoon - where you will say your vows when you land amidst a meadow with wildflowers, having your favourite food made just for you (or getting that yummy take-away), and ending the day dancing around the campfire and stargazing.
Whatever you've always dreamed of, or haven't dared dream of, is possible!

A little bit about
the person you might spend the most memorable day of your life with
(me!):
Hey, I'm Eva - a professional elopement photographer from the Netherlands and I'm incredibly excited about creating magical memories together!
I've always been a dreamer, introvert, with a wild imagination but also the occasional courage to make dreams come true (like being a photographer and traveling the world).
I fell in love with photography in the dark room, back in the days, and have been a professional photographer since 2011 - and been loving every minute of it (minus administration days).
I'm easygoing, more of a listener than a talker, but always curious about other people and this world we live in.
I love reading books, discovering new countries, pottering about in my garden, cooking good food and having picnics in beautiful places.
I was born in 1981, I live in the Netherlands and have 2 (mostly) adorable kids and also a (mostly) adorable husband.
Fun fact: when my husband and I were married for 10 years, we decided to celebrate and renew our vows. Together with our children, we traveled to the country of our hearts, Scotland, and had the most wonderful time on the Isle of Skye.
Unforgettable memories!
What's included?
- Planning assistance:
Assuming you haven't done this a lot, I fully understand you might want some help in dreaming up your elopement day so that it truly reflects who you are. We'll get to know each other, dream big, and as we go along I'll suggest locations, vendors, and a custom itinerary for your elopement day- if desired.
- a visual story to remember for a lifetime + wooden album:
your adventure, the meaningful connection and the fun you have together deserves to be captured forever. I will make sure you will look back upon this with the biggest smiles, when you leaf through your wedding album.
So yes, you'll get a custom wooden eco-album (20 x 20 cm, 12 spreads) together with your online gallery of photos.
- Privacy and a best buddy for the day:
it might feel weird in the beginning, when you think about eloping together but having this random camera person in your face all the time. Hah, and that's why it's so important to get to know each other beforehand! Also, I'm pretty easy going and I'll step away lots of times during your elopement, to capture you from afar or candidly. Privacy guaranteed!
- Traveling costs:
no unexpected travel fees afterwards, all my traveling costs and sleeping arrangements are included.
Elopement itinerary example
Just to give you an idea, I have drawn up an example of a possible elopement day.
Hopefully this will get you excited about ALL the possibilities...Once you're convinced an elopement might be just the right thing for you, I'd be really happy for us to get in touch to get to know eachother and talk about what your perfect elopement day should look like! Getting to know eachother is very important, since I'll be there to capture your whole day (don't worry, I won't be in your face and I'll give you lots of privacy! ;)). It's also important so that I can help you dream up a kick ass planning for the day, especially made for you and for the things that really suit you as a couple.

PETS welcome!
Your pets, the other loves of your lives, need to be the guests of honour - I completely get that!
So hell yeah, of course I will capture your cat (after cuddling them first), and please bring your dog along. We can take them on long rambles through the heather together, or cosy up on the bed.
Animals bring a lot of joy to our lives, so why leave them out on your wedding day?

The countries that make my heart beat faster, that take my breath away: Scotland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Ireland - and high on my wishlist - the Faroer Islands. The countries that I've traveled to (except for Faroer) and that I'm knowledgeable about. That's why I've decided to specialise in elopement photography in these northern countries. Together we'll discover the most breathtaking places!
And of course, an elopement in the Netherlands or Belgium is quite wonderful as well...from your own backyard, to the vastness of the Wadden eilanden, or the Ardennes with its mountains, rugged wilderness and ancient history.
Other plans or wishes? Drop me a line!

vow renewal
Still very much in love but secretly bummed out that you are already married, some x years ago, in a way that possibly doesn't really reflect you or your relationship anymore?
No worries, VOW RENEWALS to the rescue!
Relationships change, and so does your life. But if we're lucky, the love will only grow. I myself can testify that it's ever so special to honour that love every once in a while. To really reflect on how far the two of you have become. To celebrate all the good and the bad (let's face it) that has happened in all those years you've been together. To once again stand in front of each other in pretty attire, look each other deeply in the eyes, and speak words of love in a ceremony: we still choose each other.
