Celebrating through experience
What is an elopement?
To elope traditionally referred to running away with a lover and secretly getting married. Nowadays it’s all about the intentional experience. You get to decide how you spend every minute of your day, the places you go, the things you do and the people you take with you. The beauty of an elopement is blending both traditional and non-traditional elements, making your day about what you REALLY want to do, instead of what you feel like you should be doing.
So you can choose to elope just the two of you or with some friends and family members. You can travel to a place that is meaningful to you and your relationship or explore a completely new destination. Imagine roaming vast landscapes, sharing your vows on a mountaintop or by a lake somewhere off the beaten track. It’s magical, I promise. So will your memories and photographs be.
The thought of a large wedding gives you the creeps? You value intimacy and spending your time intentionally? You love going on adventures and feel at home in nature?
Then eloping might be just the thing for you. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate your connection, without the distractions or obligations that come with a larger wedding. An elopement is your chance to combine your wedding with an adventurous or offbeat travel experience. It puts the focus back on your connection. So dream up an adventure you’ve always wanted for yourself and I will help you bring it to life.
Elopement vs. traditional wedding
Reasons to elope in a nutshell
Epic adventure memories
Eloping makes your wedding one big adventure. You could even follow it up with your honeymoon. I mean does it get any better than to exchange vows on a mountaintop, by the sea or in a forest? Get creative here. There doesn't have to be any compromise on your big day.
Less planning & to-do's
Planning a traditional wedding can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Elopements often involve a simpler and more streamlined planning process. No need to coordinate vendors, guest lists, seating arrangements and other details. Instead you’ll have a more low-key and stress-free experience, with more headspace for the anticipation.
Eloping is easier on your wallet
The cost for a big wedding can easily skyrocket and feel like a decadent price for a one-day event. And this doesn’t even include the honeymoon. No need to worry about starting your forever together in dept with a small scale elopement.
Spontaneousness & flexibility
No need to plan a year ahead. Eloping makes you very flexible. Not only because there's way less people to coordinate, but also because you're not tied to the weekends. Which in itself helps to keep the cost down and makes it very likely your favourite vendors still have openings.
No drama or pressure
When it comes to weddings there are many opinions and expectations from friends, family and even society on how things should be planned and executed. This can lead to conflicts, disagreements, and pressure to make everyone feel considered. By eloping you can maintain a more peaceful and stress-free environment for your special day.
Intentionality & intimacy
Exchange your vows in a private and intimate setting, without the pressure of a larger ceremony or the presence of a large audience.

The photos left us speechless. Sina captured our emotions, so many details and the atmosphere so perfectly that we couldn't believe it. One photo is more beautiful than the other, but what impressed us the most about them is that they look even more beautiful in their entirety and tell our story - storytelling at its best!
Katharina + Philip
We were in Ireland with Sina for our elopement, where we had a great time with her and got to know her as a very warm and humorous person. She manages to capture the very personal magical moments and emotions with her pictures. Because of the inner calmness she radiates, this ease transfers to you and any nervousness in front of the camera is gone super fast. Thank you so much Sina for letting us spend this beautiful time with you and for capturing these emotional memories for eternity with your beautiful pictures and your attention to detail!
