about norway elopement photography
“Ingvild made our day magical, and stress-free, she cares deeply about her clients and gives them the best experience possible. We left happily married and with a new friend! Book her. Now. You won’t regret it.“
Catelyn + Marcus
Senja elopement

You’re not eloping to have a discount wedding day.
You’re choosing to elope because that’s more you.
You don’t want the stress and drama and staging involved in a traditional wedding day.

The day is all yours

Make sure you have the best day ever – fill it with your favorite foods, scenic walks, and each other!

about eloping in norway

create memories

The very best thing about an elopement is that it’s only about you. You. Not about table settings, family drama, or the millions of other things that you have to worry about if you’re planning a big wedding. Eloping is different. You get plenty of time together to celebrate your love. Time to be together. To experience something unique. And of course, also get photos from the coolest places in Norway and create the best memories of your lives.

get in touch
It might seem like the options are endless. But I’m here to navigate you through them to make sure you get the experience of a lifetime.

and it’s all up to you.

Less stress with a smaller wedding

Relax & have fun.

“If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Ingvild did everything she could to help us celebrate our day, and we can relive every moment looking back through the amazing photos.”
Hannah + Chris
balestrand elopement

You can still have the most beautiful wedding bouquet, the mouthwatering food (and cake of course) and the dress you’ve dreamt of.

BUT YOU MISS OUT ON THE STRESS.

You know – around the guests, the venue, and all the expectations associated with a conventional wedding. It’s your adventure spent how you wish. Driving through the countryside in Western Norway looking for glaciers. Jumping into Sognefjorden with your wedding dress on. Or waiting for the sun to set and the moon to rise as you say your vows in Aurland.

let’s talk
HONEYMOON, WEDDING DRESS, AND PRIORITIES

What matters most

The truth is that the most valuable things in life aren’t things at all.

It’s the people you love and the experiences you have that mean the most.

Doing an elopement instead of a big wedding isn’t a matter of not valuing your relationship. Or your families or anything like that. It’s that you choose to focus on this experience above other things.

I get that!

And you deserve so much more than just having your portraits taken.

You deserve the best experience and the whole story told!

They should make you feel something when you look at them. No matter how long ago they were taken. Getting to know who you are and your story is an essential part of storytelling. That’s where it begins, and I use what I learn about you to design and plan an experience of a lifetime for you. Want to know more?

unforgettable

Even though I’m from Norway and have seen the landscape many times, seeing it still takes my breath away. The epic mountains and the color of the fjords. I can’t recommend it enough! My couples are expecting a lot based on what they’ve seen in photos. Still, they always leave wanting to come back. It’s so much more spectacular when you see it in person. Get in touch to hear how you can have an unforgettable elopement in Norway.

frequently asked questions

Of course, you can invite whoever you want to. It's your day!

Again, it’s your day, and you decide. Most likely you will want to include some vows, and maybe an officiant. It’s up to you if you want to make it legal or not. You can have music, family present and pop a bottle of champagne. Hand tying, ring exchange, as many kisses as you want. And maybe you want to surprise your partner with something special? Your call, but I’m happy to give you suggestions.

The number of gorgeous locations can feel endless, but no worries, I’m here to help you navigate your options. Once I know you a bit better I’m able to suggest only a handful of places that are a good fit for you.

That depends on where you’re eloping, and where you’re from. Some places make it easy, others more complicated. Usually, you’ll need an officiant and there’s a bit of paperwork involved. But you know what?! Getting legally married at home, and spending your elopement day, and the time leading up to it, stress- and worry-free, might be just as nice.

Well, that depends. In some places, if you want to go the legal route, then yes, you’ll need two witnesses present. But of course - I’ll happily be one of them.

Then don’t! Your elopement day won’t lose any significance. And you’ll even be more flexible if you’re not dependent on meeting up with an officiant anywhere.

I started my photography business in Norway in 2011. I started photographing more traditional weddings (though usually more untraditional ones at that). When I discovered elopements it was like finding the missing piece of the puzzle. Choosing to elope is something I can totally relate to. Being chosen to document a couple's special day means so much to me.

There is no cap or set amount. I’m not holding back on anything, and I’m giving you the very best selection of photos. These are your memories, and I wouldn’t want you to miss out on anything.

Oh, you know.. That’s kind of like me asking my favorite chocolate factory if I can have all their ingredients so I can make my own. Even though I have a lot of experience in eating it, I don’t have the equipment or the recipe to make it myself. Unfortunately.

Your images are processed in my style, using my own recipe if you will, so giving you the raw files means you’re missing out. Also- I don’t want my images out there edited in a different style than my own.

You look good the way you are! Trust me! If you have something temporary like a scrape or a blemish that you don’t want showing in the photos, then of course I’ll take care of that for you.

Generally speaking, what you wear should match who you are and what you’re comfortable in. As well as the kind of day you’ve chosen. Location and activities planned matter a great deal. Winter and snow demand a whole other outfit than a beach wedding. I’ll be sure to send suggestions your way though.

Do I!? Finding the best locations, the vendors you need to cross the t’s and dot the i’s- it’s SO MUCH FUN. I’ll make sure to give you suggestions for activities and a timeline as well.

Rain can make for some stunning photos, and it can be kind of fun too if you let it. Your day is your day, no matter the weather. But, should it be impossible to venture outside, we’ll have to come up with a new plan or reschedule. No matter how much I love planning, I can’t do anything about the weather.

Well, of course, your travel costs. Any costs for the vendors you choose. And if applicable any entry fees and if you need any special modes of transportation.

Get in touch with me so we can set up a call and take it from there. We want to make sure we’re on the same page before taking it to the next level. In order for us to start planning, we’ll sign a contract, and once the retainer is paid we’re good to go. Can’t wait to hear from you.
