Experience-First Elopement Packages in the Nordics
For couples who don't want their wedding day to feel like a performance.
you're in the right place
Maybe getting married in front of everyone sounds exhausting. Maybe you're introverts. Maybe you just want a day that feels calm, honest, and unhurried.
Most elopements still feel like photoshoots – just in a prettier location. Couples end up posing, performing, and wondering if they're doing it right.
I do things differently. I help you prepare emotionally before the day, so when you're there together, you're not thinking about the camera. You're thinking about each other.
That's what makes the photos feel real – because the moments were.

Introducing
my approach
“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.”
LINDSIE & DANIELLE - eloped in Lofoten
5-Star Experiences, In Their Own Words
Real stories from real couples
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.
I wish we had eloped. That's one of the biggest reasons I do this now.
I want you to have the room I didn't. To look at the person you love and actually let the weight of the moment reach you. Not afterward, when you see the photos. In the moment itself.
When your elopement is shaped around your connection, not expectations or noise, it becomes one of those rare days that stays with you forever.
Your day should let you feel it
Your elopement is not a photoshoot. It's a day designed around you – how you want to feel, where you want to be, and what actually matters.
