Hey, I'm Amber!
A travel lover and ex-wedding photographer and travel planner turned elopement planner.
In 2019, I embarked on a transformative journey. Fueled by a deep passion for crafting unique experiences, I pioneered all-inclusive custom elopement and honeymoon packages in untouched destinations. Specifically tailored for introverted and adventurous(ish) couples, my vision was to create a truly gentle and personalized experience.
These exceptional packages, 100% customized to each couple, eliminate the need for expensive venues, allowing couples to just focus on purchasing their wedding attire and fly in.
With this groundbreaking approach, I redefined the elopement industry, empowering couples to embrace their individuality and curate unforgettable memories amidst awe-inspiring landscapes.
Bathed in the golden glow of a Meteora sunset, this photograph is a testament to the magic that happens when love is set against the canvas of nature's grandeur. The couple, nestled between the ancient rocks of this storied Greek landscape, lean in for a tender, contemplative moment, their silhouettes etched against the fiery sky.
The groom, in a sharp suit that speaks to the solemnity of the moment, stands with his bride, whose flowing dress ripples with the breath of the mountain air. The embrace is an intimate contrast to the monumental backdrop, the timeless stones bearing witness to their union. As the sun dips behind the majestic peaks, it crowns them in a halo of light, promising a love as enduring as the stones themselves. In this image, the earth and the heart seem to whisper together, a symphony of love as old and as sure as the Meteora itself.
Captured on the sun-drenched stairway of Santorini, this photo embraces the quintessence of a Grecian elopement. The bride and groom stand on the time-worn steps, a soft breeze teasing the edges of her diaphanous veil into the bluest of skies. Their attire speaks of understated elegance; her dress a cascade of white that mirrors the island's iconic architecture, his suit patterned in homage to the textures of the isle. In their hands, a bouquet of flowers whispers tales of romance in shades of white and green.
The world seems to pause for a moment, as their smiles, radiant and private, speak of stories yet to unfold, love yet to be told. This image, a freeze-frame of joy and the allure of the Aegean, is an invitation to a journey that begins at 'I do' and stretches into the endless blue of together.
Amidst the untamed beauty of Iceland, a couple stands closely entwined, their embrace a testament to warmth against the wild, gusting winds. The setting sun casts a golden hue over the rugged landscape, illuminating their figures in a soft, ethereal light. Their hair and clothing flutter in the powerful Icelandic breeze, a dance of nature and emotion combined. This moment, frozen in time, captures the essence of love's ability to stand firm and gentle in the face of nature's grandeur.
In the iconic setting of Santorini, with its whitewashed buildings and the endless blue sea stretching into the horizon, a couple shares a tender kiss. The gentle Mediterranean wind caresses their faces and plays with their hair, adding a layer of intimacy and serenity to their moment. The sea's vastness behind them mirrors the depth of their affection, while the soft wind whispers tales of ancient loves. This photograph captures not just a kiss, but a promise, enveloped in the warmth of the Greek sun and the timeless beauty of the Aegean Sea.
On the breathtaking heights of a Tahitian mountain, a couple's silhouette merges into one against a backdrop of a cloud-sea under the twilight sky. Standing at the world's edge, they embrace, suspended in time atop this earthly paradise. The clouds, a soft blanket below, and the vast, open sky above create a scene of serene isolation, highlighting the couple's intimate moment. This image is a powerful symbol of love's ability to elevate and transcend, offering a glimpse into a private world above the clouds.
How we created this image:
- it took us two tries, the first one being underlit because the moon was hidden by clouds
- I had to climb the mountain in 50cm of snow with a chair in my hand and try to make it stand on the slope
- I didn't take my tripod with me so I had to use the chair to put my camera down so it wouldn't move
- I was on manual focus, made automatically before the shot on the bright lights right by the couple
- the moon was very bright, so we didn't need a lot of additional light
- the couple was lit by the moon + my phone's torch
- Paule and Vincent had to stand still for a whole second so I wouldn't have movement in the picture
- it was freezing outside so I had to act quick
- 1 second was the perfect time with ISO1600, higher than that and the city's lights would have been too bright
- I used a 2-seconds self-timer so my finger pressing the shutter would not make any movement in the image
BUT
It was SO SO SO worth it!!!
This picture was taken in a moment out of this world. We were walking around a beautiful lake and having a deep and meaningful conversation. We had a picnic under the stars, talking about kids, couple life travels...then we shot this image, in the very cold breeze, but it was still an amazing moment.
