Wondering how to plan your destination elopement in Europe?! As a photographer, my favorite part about helping couples elope is finding a place that resonates with them as a couple. Oftentimes, this means traveling out of state, or out of the country in order to find a spot that provides you with activities you two love to do together, breathtaking views, and good food. Another added benefit is being able to continue on your honeymoon into your destination elopement.

How Do I Plan My Destination Elopement in Europe?

Similar to planning an elopement in the United States, planning a destination elopement in Europe begins with finding a photographer that’s familiar with the country you’re planning to elope in! I recommend hiring a photographer that travels to Europe to avoid language barriers, will be able to communicate during US work hours, and can recommend other English-speaking vendors to you!

How Do I Choose a Location for My Destination Elopement?

When choosing a location for your elopement ask yourself these questions first:

  • Do I plan on hiking during my elopement?
  • What kind of views and scenery do I want to get married in? (Desert, ocean, mountains, forests, waterfalls, lakes, etc.!)
  • What kind of food do I want to eat during my post-elopement celebration?
  • Do I plan on honeymooning at the same location or near it?

What Season Should My Elopement Be In?

The season you plan to have your destination elopement in Europe will depend on the climate! Rule of thumb:

  • If eloping in the mountains or by alpine lakes: Summer & early fall
  • If eloping in the desert: Late fall through early winter
