Elopement Wedding Photographer Dolomites

For Your Wedding to taste like
magic & Fearlessness

 

 

Because at the end of the day, you’re self-empowering badasses.
you deserve a wedding which fits that kooky you.
No Regrets. No Compromises.

 

So why be “Vanilla” if you can be
Spicy Cinnamon With Awesome Sauce“?

What matters to you for your wedding aren’t those typical things…

You don’t care about lots of decorations, lots of invitees, lots of things that are simply “too much”.
So why try to fit into a box everybody else is?

I totally get you: What matters to you is a stress- & drama-free wedding, that gives you space to vibe out – to enjoy little things like holding hands whilst peacefully walking towards your perfect Dolomites elopement spot or enjoy some scattered raindrops on your skin.

A strict timeline which is typical for big weddings isn’t for you, since you’re peppy peeps who simply like discovery, exploration and well, to spontaneously have an ice cream whenever just because.

That’s all I can give you as a Dolomites Wedding Photographer

Intimate AND SIMPLE Wedding in the Dolomites

 

Do you feel that nature is a place that connects and brings you back to peace but at the same time excites you?

That’s why an Dolomites elopement could be the right experience for you!

A modern elopement consists of spending a day, or even more – in the name of love and the values ​​of alternative couples.
As a Dolomites Wedding Photographer, that’s my mission for you!

SKI OR HIKE ON Your WEDDING DAY!

Getting married in winter is perhaps one of the most rebellious things!

Hardly anyone gets married during the winter months, yet I believe there is nothing more romantic than a fireplace after a good ski-day in the Dolomites.

Are you a couple who loves walking or hiking in the mountains?
Well – so why not do it during your Dolomites elopement too?

For the reportage of our wedding, we essentially wanted photos capable of capturing – without clichés or staged photographs – the flow of unique emotions that would have generated that day.

Ellen, moving between us and our guests like a guardian angel, invisible to the eye but always present, has perfectly managed to capture the spontaneity of the gestures, the looks, the various moments of celebration, stopping them in images that we never tire of looking at, even weeks after that beautiful date.

Our wedding album is the result of a job done with great seriousness, passion and professionalism, in which we never felt treated by mere
buyers of a service, but as protagonists to be accompanied with discretion in their fairytale, trying to understand and best interpret their feelings.

Thank you!

Who doesn’t want that on their wedding day: a photographer who knows what you want and who also implements the wishes.

A photographer who calms the wedding couple and brings them across in the photos as they are. The moments captured in photos that are most important and at the same time beautifully reproduce spontaneous situations.

We had it all with Ellen. Our wedding day was just fantastic and her photos made it PERFECT. Even when the weather turned and got worse, she had everything in hand. She encouraged us and so the photos were a great success in the rainy hours. A huge thank you!

We can only recommend Ellen to everyone.

she took us to this wonderful place in the Dolomites and she followed us every step of the way, always taking care that we were comfortable and having fun.

We could never have lived such an experience without her help.

This photographer is for anyone who wants to organize an alternative and adventurous wedding, as well as super super romantic and fun!
