So you’re going to elope in Amsterdam.

I’m so excited for you already!!

And you want beautiful photography that captures what your day really feels like, so you can relive your elopement over and over again, any time you’re feeling nostalgic.

On your elopement day, you’ll be:

Enjoying everything to the absolute fullest, of course!

Whether that means starting off with a decadent breakfast in bed, popping a bottle of champagne on a canal, or dancing through the streets, you can and should be relishing every single second.

As your photographer, I’ll be:

Your personal paparazza & co-conspirator for the day!

I’ll help you create moments that you’ll want to look back on, and I’ll capture them for you as they happen. So you can focus on staying in the moment, and trust that I’ve got your memory-making covered.

The two things I want to capture for you above all else: your JOY and your VIBE.

Your day is a day of yes

You’re inspired by the romance of an Amsterdam elopement, but you don’t just want the stereotypical “look at me in front of the canals” photos. Okay, maybe one or two, but what you’re *really* excited to capture are the small things, the in-between moments, and your actual real-life love.

Your photos will be the way you look back on this moment, and how you get to share it with others. They should feel true to who you are, and to how your day feels. As your Amsterdam elopement photographer, it’s my job to make that happen.

My Amsterdam elopement photography packages start at 2 hours of coverage for 750€. Packages with full-day coverage start at 3000€.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! After years of being an elopement photographer, I’ve got lots of recommendations and contacts, and I can walk you through everything you need. I will customize recommendations for locations, timing, permits, and everything else you need to get married here with no stress!

Whether you’re dreaming of saying your vows on a bridge over the canals, on a classic Amsterdam boat, in a tulip field, or at a nearby castle, we can make it happen, and happen smoothly.

That’s totally fine—you can do your whole elopement in English! As your American photographer in Amsterdam, I’ve got lots of English-speaking vendors for you. And you’ll find that most people here speak great English wherever you go, too!

Amsterdam is very welcoming to the LGBTQIA+ community, and a great place for queer people to elope! The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage (back in 2001!) and it has been a gay-friendly and queer-friendly country since long before that.

Amsterdam is also known for having one of the best pride celebrations in Europe, and you’ll see lots of rainbow flags around the city if you keep an eye out. This city welcomes the LGBTQIA+ community loudly, which I absolutely love. It’s a safe and friendly place for queer people to love each other in public—and that includes exchanging vows!

Wherever you are in your planning, now is a great time!

Have it planned down to the coffee beans and just missing a photographer? Awesome, I’m here to step in.

Have a vague idea of, like, what continent you want to get married on, maybe? That’s totally cool, too! I’d love to talk through ideas with you and plan something exciting together.

Assuming we’re a good fit, the two big things we’ll need to confirm a date will be an idea of when and where you want to tie the knot. But we can get started without all the details, and figure it out along the way!

The sooner the better, but last minute is fine too if my availability allows!

My calendar for elopements and destination weddings is generally open 12-18 months in advance, so as soon as you have a date (or an idea of a date), I would love to hear from you. This is especially true if you’re thinking about eloping somewhere outside of the Amsterdam area, or outside of the Netherlands, so I can get you into my travel schedule!

That said, I’m sometimes able to say yes to Amsterdam or Netherlands elopement photography inquiries for the very same week. And for elopements and destination weddings outside of the Netherlands, sometimes a month or two is enough of a head’s up! So if you’re whipping up a spur-of-the-moment plan, don’t let that stop you from reaching out.

I would love to meet you and chat before your elopement day! If you’re down to talk face-to-face, my process includes an optional video call, or a real-life coffee if you happen to be in Amsterdam already! I’ll also send you a questionnaire before your day arrives.

Oh, and if you’re a Pinterest person, a mood board person, an “I have this wild idea and I would love to see if we can make it happen” person? Yes please, send it all my way!

Yay!! You can submit an inquiry at this link:
