Experience-First Elopement Packages for the Nordic Wild
My Norway elopement and intimate wedding packages
You deserve a day where nothing interrupts the moment
you finally say what your heart has been
carrying for years.
If you’ve ever worried your wedding day won’t feel truly about the two of you — I understand.
Your elopement shouldn’t feel like something created for the photos. It should feel like a day you would choose even if no photographs existed at all.
We can still climb a mountain or stand by a glacial lake. But we don’t choose places just because they look impressive. We choose them because of how they make you feel.
The right location isn’t a backdrop. It’s a place where you can breathe, slow down, and be fully present with each other — whether that’s on a windswept ridge or somewhere quiet and sheltered.
I’m there to guide you toward those places — not to pose you in the landscape, but to help you find a place where real moments happen without trying.
EXPERIENCE OVER PHOTOS™
SIGNATURE EXPERIENCE
Introducing
my approach
I don’t see your elopement as something to capture, but something to protect — a rare day with room to truly connect.
My own wedding day taught me how easily those moments can slip away. It’s why I work with intention and care, keeping your connection at the centre.
Years of orienteering taught me to read landscapes by feeling, move calmly through unfamiliar terrain, and guide without urgency. That’s the presence I bring to your day.
I won’t ask you to pose or perform — I’ll guide you gently into the headspace where real connection happens. You get to slow down, breathe, and feel supported by the landscape around you.
I’ll offer guidance when needed and space when it matters — so the day unfolds around your relationship, not the photos.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT
personal elopement experiences that put the focus where it belongs – on your love and connection
When I got married, I didn’t have the emotional space to truly be present. I saw my wife for the first time and felt everything at once — but there was no moment made for us to share it. By the time the day finally slowed, the feeling I wanted to express had already slipped away.
That moment changed the way I approach elopements. It showed me how easily the meaning of a wedding day disappears when there isn’t space to actually feel it — to look at the person you love and let the weight of the moment reach you.
Because years from now, what stays with you won’t be the scenery or the photos. It’s the emotional connection —
the breath you take together,
the way your hands find each other without thinking,
the words your heart has carried for years.
This is why I photograph elopements the way I do: so you have the emotional room I didn’t — so your connection leads, and the meaning reaches you in the moment, not afterward.
When your elopement is shaped around your connection — not expectations or noise — it becomes one of those rare days in life that stays with you forever.

Here’s how we build The experience together
“We didn’t know where to start or how to plan. What we love about Jaakko is that he’s passionate about finding the most breathtaking spots off the beaten path, far from tourist crowds. When you finally meet Jaakko in person, all your worries melt away — it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. You’ll find yourself not just with an amazing photographer, but with a lifelong friend.”
GIGI & BERNIC - eloped in France
“Planning an elopement in another country was intimidating, but Jaakko guided us through it all — helping us find locations, scouting ceremony spots, and showing us how to prepare. We never felt rushed or set to a specific timeline, and when things didn’t work out as planned, he always had solutions. For those on the fence, if there’s one person who is going to take your elopement as seriously as you and your partner, it’s Jaakko.”
RACHEL & ANDREW - eloped in Lyngen Alps
“That face-to-face over the internet left both of us so excited for our wedding day. He took the time to understand what we wanted in terms of a secluded outdoor space that showed off everything that is Lofoten. It surpassed all expectations. Jaakko does such an incredible job of creating a calm, controlled, safe atmosphere to be vulnerable in — a place that elicits authenticity. We came away from Lofoten with a true friend.”
