Hundreds of wedding guests.
Huge venues.
Drunk relatives.

That’s how you want to get married…

…or at least… that’s what “Aunt Karen” is expecting

But you’ve never really fit into expectations.
You don’t want to do things “the normal way.”
And honestly, you’ve never quite understood what’s so fun about traditional weddings anyway. 💩

So why be “vanilla” if you can be “spicy cinnamon” with awesome-sauce on top?

And what if,
with a pat on your shoulder,
I told you that…

The wedding that makes you truly happy exists, and it’s only one step away from here!

You are not forced to do what tradition, aunt Karen or society tell you!

You can do whatever you want – even ski or hike in your wedding clothes!

You can feel free and shiny because you’re a spirited couple looking for an exciting outdoor wedding experience.

This is about creating and celebrating a Dolomites elopement you unapologetically love.

Goodbye expectations.
Hello spanking new adventures!

No. re.grets.

This is where lighthearted, uplifting, inspiring Dolomites elopements happen

Your inner child loves the smell of warm grass.
The landscapes around you feel surreal, and make you feel alive.
Your chest is full of big feelings, and you’re having a freaking blast.
You’re letting your unfiltered self fly.

It’s not just something that looks good on Instagram…
But something that feels like stepping into your favorite fantasy video game.

A day that looks AND feels good

It’s all about:

  • Slowing down, and plunging into nature
  • Being intentional and present in the moment
  • Having fun together and getting to know landscapes and cultures you’ve never seen before
  • Feeling seen and safe as who you truly are, without judgement

Fun, Freedom & Connection!

FOR THE FEEL-SEEKERS AND REVERSE-THINKERS.

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer based in the Dolomites, and I work with spirited, unconventional people who want to get married without filters, fear, or pressure.

No fear of being judged.
No influence from social norms.
No compromises.

TESTIMONIALS

SABRINA & RICHIE

Ellen is unapologetically herself, and that is what we most appreciated about her.
She makes everyone feel comfortable.
We appreciated how organised she was in advance of our special day, always available for calls to put our plan together

MARIA & BEN

Ellen was the most incredible photographer that I am also proud and happy to call a friend. She made the day super stress free and everything went off seamlessly. She knows all the special locations that aren’t super touristy.

ELEONORE & TIM

Ellen came to the slopes with us after the wedding and we took fantastic photos there, hats off to that because it’s not easy. Ellen definitely gets a clear recommendation from us for her humorous and professional manner.
