WELCOME!
I’m so happy you’ve contacted me about your upcoming elopement!! :) This guide contains all information you need about me, what I offer and why I believe eloping is the most amazing thing there is!
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
I am Sweden’s first adventure elopement photographer! I try not taking life too seriously and make sure seizing every opportunity I get for laugh and experiences! I am a crazy cat lady and my partner loves to tickle me until I scream! We often go fishing together and he loves laughing at me when I’m panicking over the big fish that is currently trying to eat me… I love animals and I am actually a Registered Veterinary Nurse and have been horse-back riding since I was little. My two biggest vices in life are popcorn and cookies. And perhaps cats. And reading. Definitely reading.
WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Being outdoors is one of the best things I know! I want to feel the wind ripping in my jacket, I want to hear the waves crash into the mountainside and feel the sun on my face. When I’m out in nature – I feel free! My batteries charge right up and my mind can rest and relax. I am a wild soul with a wild love.
I have always been one to break traditions and follow my heart. I have met so many couples being forced to have a wedding day completely opposite of what they wanted, just because of traditions. I’m here to help you make the brave choice to follow your heart!
I belive that all love is equal and all love deserves to be remembered. I am very much LBTQ+-friendly. Your wedding day is no less important than any other couple’s wedding day – no matter if you want to spend yours on a mountain or fishing by a lake!
I VALUE EXPERIENCES OVER PHYSICAL THINGS. I THINK YOU DO TOO!
Why are more and more people all over the world choosing to elope?
STRESS-FREE & RELAXING
Do you feel a tightening in your chest just thinking about having to choose between gold or silver cuttlery, if the cake should have blue or purple flowers or if you really need to invite your fifth cousin on your mother’s side? Or getting advice from people you barely even met before, but surely knows what would be best for your wedding!
Your wedding day does not have to be about these things! Your wedding day can be so much more…it can be about your love!
FILLED WITH LOVE
Just you and your love, sitting side by side. Watching the sun rise over the mountain tops. The only things your hear are your love’s breathing, maybe a bird in the distance. The gentle morning breeze sways the top of the trees slowly. You are holding each others’ hands and feeling each others’ body heat radiating. What do you tell each other?
Where and when do you feel most loved?
AN AMAZING ADVENTURE
You and your partner love being outdoors. Watching the sunsets from a cliff and hearing the ocean scream at you on a windy day. You often visit new places and love to explore. A free day together is best spent outside. Whether you love hiking, swimming, horse riding or night sky watching…
Life is one big adventure for you – why shouldn’t your wedding be?
No matter what reasons you might have, for thinking about doing an elopement – I will go out on a limb here and take a guess that this exact question has popped up in your minds:
"Why do we need to hire a photographer for our elopement?" And for how many hours? There are many reasons for why you want to hire an amazing photographer for your elopement, here are my top three reasons:
YOU ARE MAKING AN ACTIVE CHOICE!
By eloping you are really making an active choice about what you want to do and where you want to be on your wedding day. This makes this day even more special – in my eyes – and having memories from your best day ever with your loved one – is that something to be taken lightly? You are choosing to have the most genuine and caring wedding day ever – heck yes of course your memories of this day also should be remembered this way!
THE IMPORTANCE OF MEMORIES
I’d say that it is even more important with a photographer for elopements, just because it will be you and your love, together for the entirety of the day, experiencing AMAZING things (I kid you not!) and having the time of your life. You will be smiling, hugging, kissing, maybe dancing a little and be all jittery and have butterflies in your stomachs. This alone calls for amazing photos to go with the experience. To allow you to remember and relive EVERY MOMENT of your amazing wedding day – for generations to come! But also, since this is such an intimate moment, maybe it is just the two of you, it is even more important to capture this, so you can share your experience with your family and friends, that didn’t spend the day with you.
YOUR WEDDING DAY IS IMPORTANT
Your wedding day is by no means less important than a traditional wedding day! Not at all and maybe even the opposite – because you are choosing to do something that your souls desire, you are brave enough to go your own way and celebrate YOUR LOVE, together!
AMAZING NATURE
Sweden is an amazing country to get married in! We have nature all around us, easily accessed. We have big forests, great beaches, snow and northern lights during winter and mountains with great hiking trails!
FOUR SEASONS
Spring, summer, fall and winter. In Sweden we have four seasons, each bringing its own charm to the mix! Spring is filled with bird chatter, wildflowers and budding trees. Summers can be warm and sunny, with green leaves everywhere! In fall all the leaves are turning orange and red and it’s a true miracle to observe! During winter, the northern parts of Sweden gets covered in deep snow. In the south it’s warmer and mostly free from snow. Which season do you prefer?
EASILY ACCESSED
Getting to Sweden is easy, no matter from where you are travelling! Our biggest airports are located in Stockholm (our capital) and Gothenburg and it’s easy to jump on a domestic flight if you want to travel up north in a heart beat. Also, our country has gone to great lengths to make sure most of the attractions and facilities are easily accessed if you have any disabilities.
GREAT ACCOMODATION
There are great options for accomodation available pretty much everywhere. We have big hotels, small B&Bs, tents or campings. Most of these are available for booking online! The standards are high and you can expect a clean room, comfortable bed and a toilet.
NO POISONOUS ANIMALS
You do not have to be worried when you are outside. In Sweden we have almost no poisonous animals, the only one being the Swedish Adder, which is not letal. In the wild we have brown bears, wolves and Lynx, but they are few in numbers and very shy.
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FISHING AND HUNTING
If you are into fishing – you are in for a treat here in Sweden! We have lots of rivers, lakes and sea to fish in. There are several experienced guides available and most of the fishing licenses can be bought online.
YUMMY FOOD!
In Sweden, amazing food is just a short walk away!
HOW DOES IT WORK LEGALLY?
You do not have to be citizens of Sweden to get married here, however, our marriage licenses are not international by default. To make a service legal you need one marriage officiant and two witnesses. Depending on what you want to do on your wedding day – I’d recommend getting the legal documents out of the way before you travel.
The day you get married is the day you say your vows to each other, not the day you fill out the paperwork <3
