The most important tips & tricks for considering an elopement in Europe

Find Your Dream Spot: Think about a place that’s special to both of you whether it is mountain views or cool city vibes. It could be where you had your first date, a breathtaking natural setting, or even a cosy spot in your loved city. Choosing a location that speaks to your love story will make your elopement even more magical.

Chase the Light: Timing is everything when it comes to capturing those dreamy, romantic photos. Consider scheduling your ceremony or vow renewal during sunrise or sunset for the most enchanting light. Trust me, the soft, golden glow will make you both look like you’re straight out of a dream. But ok .. you don’t have to be an expert in elopement wedding photography – I will help you with all the best timing tips & tricks.

Keep it Close: Elopements are all about intimacy, so keep your guest list short and sweet or even better – just two of you eloping on your dream destination in any of Europe’s best locations. Having just a few loved ones by your side will make the moment feel even more special. Plus, it allows you to focus on each other and soak in every precious second of your day.

Go with the Flow: Embrace the spontaneity of your elopement adventure! Don’t worry about sticking to a strict schedule—just let the day unfold naturally. Some of the most beautiful moments happen when you least expect them, so be open to going off-script and enjoying the ride. Afraid of bad weather? That’s a tricky question because a photographer is hired for a day!? I’ve got you – offering a 2-day package is an option to secure the best experience and safety. Anyways – it’s an adventure in the end, right?

Trust Miks: Your elopement wedding photographer is here to capture the magic of your day, so trust Miks to work the magic behind the lens. Share your vision, but also give the freedom to get creative and capture those candid, heartfelt moments.

Elopement photographer in Europe: FAQ

How much does an elopement photographer in Europe cost?

Most experienced elopement photographers in Europe charge somewhere between €1,500 and €6,000, depending on how many hours you book, how remote the location is and whether travel is included. My packages are €2,300 for The Hike (6+ hours), €3,500 for a Full Day, and €7,000 for two days from Sunrise to Sunset. Travel, accommodation, drone and 35mm film are always included, so there are no surprise invoices later.

What is included in your elopement packages?

Every package includes my travel and accommodation anywhere in Europe, help choosing the location and timing, drone photos (where flying is allowed), 35mm film photos, an online gallery (400+ edited photos even on the shortest package), and consultations before the day to plan everything together.

Where are the best places to elope in Europe?

Some of the most loved spots are the Dolomites, Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, the Scottish Highlands, Lofoten in Norway, Santorini and Sintra in Portugal. You’ll find all 15 of my top elopement locations above. If you’re still deciding, I’m happy to suggest a spot that fits your season and budget.

How far in advance should we book?

For a summer elopement, 9 to 12 months ahead is ideal. For spring, autumn or a weekday elopement, 3 to 6 months is usually enough. Popular dates in Italy and Norway go first, so write me as soon as you have a rough idea.

I work with a team of up to 4 people – other wedding pro photographers, assistants and wedding videographers with various editing styles. A full wedding visual art service from idea to delivery!

I’m happy for some crazy nominees and features in the wedding photography world, but nothing is better than a real and enjoyable wedding like yours. Please let me know if you have any questions – I want to make sure you have all the answers, solutions & safety!
