But for the adventurous souls I work with, love is about experiences over expectations.
And, of course, with an unforgettable adventure.
Over the years, Ive had the privilege of capturing some of the most breathtaking elopements.
Here are a few stories that prove love is best celebrated in the wild.
If you feel inspired, contact me, and well dream up your love adventure!
We had to ditch the original plan thanks to some crazy weather.
We started the day getting ready in their adorable Old Town Zermatt apartment.
Can you believe it?
The clouds parted just in time for a magical sunset ceremony with the Matterhorn as our backdrop!
It was straight out of a fairytale.
We werent done yet!
To wrap up their epic adventure, we hit the trail for a glacier hike.
It was the perfect ending to a truly unforgettable elopement!
Its a fantastic location for a symbolic ceremony.
Mountain top magic
Rain or shine, love conquers all!
A&Cs Swiss adventure turned into an unforgettable 2-day elopement.
From unexpected events to breathtaking moments, these two danced their way to forever.
Their resilience and love inspired us all!
Their shared love for snowsports made the mountains the perfect place to say I do.
But what did they get in the end?
Nothing short of epic.
And the adventure didnt stop there.
The perfect mix of adrenaline, romance, and pure joy.
Their day began in a cozy Swiss chalet, where they prepared for what would be an unforgettable journey.
Next, they boarded a helicopter that whisked them over the Matterhorn before landing on a snowy peak.
They shared their first dance under the open sky, surrounded by the Alps and the Matterhorn.
Instead of sleeping, they spent the night capturing star photos and soaking in the beauty of the mountains.
Their love story had found its perfect beginning, written in the heart of the mountains.
So why would you have such a long elopement?
Because 10 hours will feel like 10 minutes.
Because you should not underestimate the time for logistics in the mountains.
Because sunsets are on the top of the mountain and not in the valley.
Because when the gondolas are open, and all the epic spots are crowded with people.
Because, otherwise, you would have to cut dream activities from your plan.
Because you want to have time to just enjoy it and soak it in.
It was really our lucky day.
It wasnt warm and comfortable, but so worth it!
In fact, you’re free to have both!
Why settle for one when it’s possible for you to have the best of both worlds?
Theres no need to compromise.
Its your wedding, and you might make it as unique as your love story.
Our mountain guide conveyed a 50% chance that the helicopter might not be able to take off.
To our amazement, it worked!
Originally planning to return using snowshoes, our plans took a turn.
The robust wind closed the gondolas, prompting us to be airlifted once again by helicopter.
Upon our return, we were advised not to ascend the mountain due to windy conditions.
Trusting my instincts, we still moved on, and the result speaks for itself in the stunning photos.
A heartfelt thank you to R&H for embarking on this wild adventure with me!
It was an absolute blast!
