You’ll have photos and films of your wedding day that will leave you speechless – today, tomorrow, and years from now. These aren’t just pictures from some Pinterest board; they’re your moments, filled with all the raw, beautiful emotions that made the day uniquely yours. You’ll get to relive the way it felt to say your vows, to laugh and cry together, and to celebrate with your loved ones. And years down the road, whether you’re sharing these with friends and family or random people you meet (because why not?) or looking back together, you’ll find yourselves transported right back to that incredible day, amazed all over again. These memories aren’t just keepsakes, they’re a legacy of your love story.

Two-day Elopement in the Dolomites: Wedding Couple standing on decks of La Palafitta boathouse at Lago di Braies Elopement Dolomites

Dolomites Multi-Day Elopement

A two-day elopement adventure in the heart of the Dolomites – from a quiet sunrise ceremony at Lago di Braies to a golden hour picnic at Passo Giau and an unforgettable hiking adventure to Cadini di Misurina. This story shows how slowing down turns an elopement into a deeply meaningful experience.

LGBTQ+ Intimate Barcelona Wedding

We still get goosebumps thinking about this LGBTQ+ destination wedding near Barcelona. The vows were so honest and the smiles so big. It was a  kind of day where everyone was just happy to be there – fully present, fully themselves, and fully in love.

Tuscany Elopement

Dreaming of a typical Italian Wedding with lots of Pizza, Pasta, Vino & Amore? Let’s draw some inspiration from this perfect Full-Day Tuscany Elopement of Jessica & Chase, with a cozy brunch in pj’s, their ceremony next to cypress trees, roadtrips with a vintage car, pizza party, espresso & more!

Mallorca Elopement

Imagine beginning your wedding day with golden light shining over the sea, saying your vows in complete stillness while the island slowly wakes up. Then spending the day soaking in every moment with a beach picnic, and ending it all with a sunset on a dramatic cliffside overlooking the sea. This was the reality for one incredible couple who chose to elope in Mallorca.

Switzerland Elopement

When C & V first contacted us with their unique mountain elopement in Switzerland, we knew it was going to be something special. Their priorities were simple: get married, have fun, avoid stress, drink champagne, eat delicious food, look stunning, enjoy nature, and, if possible, see alpacas. And of course we did all of that!

WE WANT TO CREATE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOU.

You don’t need to be supermodels to have incredible elopement photos – you just need to be yourselves. What matters most is that you feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be you in front of our lenses. That’s why it’s so important for us to build a real connection with you before your big day, so you can feel at ease and be truly present in the moments we capture.

We encourage you to laugh, cry, kiss, cuddle, or simply enjoy being with the love of your life. Whatever feels authentic to you is what we want to capture. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves without the pressure to pose or perform. Building a deep, trusting relationship with you, from the moment we start planning, allows us to document your elopement in a way that feels natural, genuine, and full of love.

Your photos and videos are here to enhance your experience – not overshadow it. We’re here as your guides, creating a day that’s all about you. Capturing the special moments should never interrupt the joy or the flow of your celebration. Instead, it should preserve all the magic, so you can relive it whenever you want. The couples you see on our page aren’t models -they’re real people, just like you, acting naturally in front of the camera. While we always bring our creative ideas and guidance to help you feel comfortable and confident, we want to empower you to embrace your true selves, exactly as you are.

TALKING ABOUT YOUR ELOPEMENT FILM

wenola play button

“It feels like a movie” – Ever wondered why we use that phrase? Well, because movies make us feel a certain way, a way that hits us really deeply. We all have cried in front of the television or in the cinema over fictional characters dying or struggling, or showing their deepest feelings even though we are perfectly aware that this is all just made up. And still we can’t escape the magic of storytelling on a screen. It unites us that we are moved, emotionalized and thrilled by what we see in moving images and films or shows truly touch us. Imagine the feelings when the people on your screens are not made up and fictional but you and the person you love the most. These feelings are forever and our personal, cinematic and powerful elopement films will give you the chance to see yourself starring in your own personal motion picture.

Maybe you are thinking: “I definitely need photography. But why should I include a video of my elopement as well?”. The answer is easy: Because you will love the magic of the two of you in a carefully designed visual storytelling of how the most beautiful day of your lives really was. You’ll be able to feel the wind that was blowing through your hair that day, hear the words and laughs of the love of your life and feel the thrill, the excitement and the love you felt that day. You’ll pull out your phone on your anniversary or on the train to work and re-watch the feelings of this unbelievable experience.

At Wenola Weddings we craft our elopement films on the model of your personalities and we pay special attention to every detail. Which music do you chill to in the evening? We’ll create the same vibe in the video. Will you be saying vows to each other? We’ll capture the audio and preserve it forever. Was your day especially emotional? Was it a good laugh? Or did strangers congratulate you? We’ll tell the story of the day just as it was and in that way you’ll be able to dive into the vibe again whenever you feel like it.

Technically speaking, we of course use top-notch equipment and know our craft. But it is in the creative process of editing your elopement film when the magic happens. Composing a film that tells a story, carefully mastered color grading and detailed sound design is what your love deserves. No rushed quick edits, no bad audio, no out of tune colors, this is what we always make sure of.
