This is for you if you're looking for something intimate, slow, and meaningful—where your connection is what matters, and nature gently embraces you.

Whether you want to exchange vows on a mountain ridge, beside a fjord, in Lofoten, on Senja, or somewhere out in the wide, quiet expanse of Andøya, I'm here to guide and document your story with warmth and honesty.

We’ll meet at your dream location in Norway or Europe, and I’ll capture your ceremony and couple portraits with calm guidance and a gentle, observant eye.

VIEW THE ELOPEMENT PORTFOLIO

Many of the couples who elope in Norway come from outside the country, and I want all of you who dream of eloping here—in the quiet and wild landscapes of the north—to feel included.

Elopements hold a very special place in my heart. Just the two of you, somewhere beautiful, with nowhere else to be. That's what I love about them. For me, photographing an elopement isn't about producing images; it's about cherishing those moments with care.

I'm an adventurer at heart. I feel most alive when I'm moving through mountains, along fjords, and into places where the world feels vast and still. Norway's landscapes aren't just a backdrop to me; they make me feel alive, and I approach them with genuine love and respect.

When you invite me to document your elopement, I come not just as a photographer, but as a calm, warm, and supportive presence. Someone who will gently guide you, give you a hug when you need one, and step back when the moment calls for quiet.

If my approach to seeing and working resonates with you, I'd love to hear your story.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Emily & Adam

“We couldn’t have imagined a more passionate, hardworking, or selfless photographer than Lillian. She went above and beyond to ensure that every need and wish was met for our dream elopement in Lofoten. From doing last-minute location scouting before our ceremony when the weather took a turn for the worse, to asking a closed café to let us use their restroom, to hiking up a mountain through deep mud puddles and running water, Lillian made our elopement better than anything we could have imagined. By capturing our adventures in Hamnøy, Henningsvær, and on Mt. Volandstinden, Lillian combined Norway’s epic landscapes and local culture into an unforgettable, awe-inspiring collection of timeless photos.

We also had the privilege of traveling to Loen with Lillian for more elopement photography, which was another incredible experience. From joining some friendly cattle on the shore of Lovatnet to overlooking Innvikfjorden from the summit of Mt. Hoven, Lillian helped us discover some of the best that Southern Norway had to offer.

Anyone can take photos, but capturing genuine emotions like love, vulnerability, and connection is an art, especially with more reserved and quiet couples like us. From the moment Lillian stepped behind the camera, her calming presence, warmth, and encouragement helped us be ourselves. She didn’t just photograph our elopement; she transformed moments into magic. The love and happiness she captured are impossible to fully express, and we will cherish the ability to remember them for a lifetime!

We never expected our elopement photographer to become a cherished friend, yet getting to know Lillian became one of the most beautiful parts of our journey. Half the joy of our elopement came not only from the moments she captured but also from the connection we shared along the way.

If you’re considering Lillian for your wedding or elopement, look no further! Her care, artistry, and presence extend far beyond photography, and we couldn’t be more grateful for our experience. For those dreaming of eloping in Lofoten or Loen: when love feels too vast for words, let the wild beauty of the landscape speak on your behalf.”

“During our search for a photographer for our wedding day in Norway, it was clear right from the start. Lillian’s enthusiasm and motivation stood out immediately—this is someone we would love to climb that mountain with!

On the day itself, that feeling was fully confirmed.
Lillian was a huge part of our special day. With her cheerfulness and energy, she walked with us to Trolltunga and helped us truly pause and appreciate the moment along the way.

What we appreciated so much is that not only the destination, but especially the journey there, was beautifully captured. The photos reflect exactly how we experienced that day.”

SAY HI

An elopement is an intimate wedding—just the two of you, or with a very small group of people you love—in a place that holds special meaning for you. No long guest lists, no formal traditions unless you want them. Just your relationship, a beautiful location, and the freedom to do it your way.
Planning an elopement in Norway as a non-Norwegian couple starts with sorting out two things: the legal aspects and the experience itself.
From a legal standpoint, most international couples handle the marriage paperwork in their home country and hold a symbolic ceremony in Norway, which is the simplest approach.
When it comes to the experience, that's where I come in. We'll connect via video call, discuss locations, timing, and what matters most to you, and I'll put together a plan that works for you. Norway is my backyard, and I know it well, so you don't have to figure it out on your own!
Yes, and honestly, this is one of my favorite parts. I know places all across Norway, from the fjords of Aurland and Isfjorden to the dramatic coastline of Andøya, the mountains of Trolltunga, and the wild islands of Lofoten and Senja.
I'll help you find a place that suits your style, your fitness level, and the kind of day you're envisioning. If you already have a dream location in mind, great. If not, we'll find it together.
Yes, I’ll put together a full-day plan once we know what you’re looking for. I’ll create a timeline that takes into account the light, the location, and the flow of your day. The weather in Norway isn’t always predictable, so we’ll stay flexible, but having a clear plan means you’ll arrive feeling calm and prepared. I can also help with accommodations, local restaurants, and tips for making the most of your time in Norway.
Eloping in Norway can be legally binding, but the process depends on your nationality and country of residence.
To legally marry in Norway, you must apply in advance through Statsforvalteren (the Norwegian government), which involves submitting documents from your home country.
For this reason, many international couples choose to handle the legal aspects of their marriage in their home country and hold a symbolic ceremony in Norway instead. This is a very common and beautiful approach, and it’s what most of my couples do. I can guide you through both options.
You only need a certified officiant if you want a legally binding ceremony in Norway. If you're handling the legal aspects back home and having a symbolic ceremony here, you don't officially need one, but a celebrant can make the ceremony feel much more meaningful.
My partner offers symbolic ceremonies as an add-on: he guides you through a personal, thoughtfully written ceremony while I quietly capture every moment.
Yes, and I love it when couples want to. Many of Norway's most beautiful elopement locations, including Trolltunga, require a hike to reach, and that journey can become a real part of your day.
We'll plan our gear, pace, and timing together so it feels safe and manageable, not stressful. And if hiking isn't your thing, there are equally beautiful spots that don't require it at all.
I recommend at least 3 hours, but the ideal amount of time depends on your schedule for the day. Whether we're hiking to a location, visiting multiple spots, or want to include time for portraits as well as the ceremony, a full day gives you the most flexibility.
If you'd like something shorter and more focused, the Mini Elopement package is a great option. We'll figure out what works best for you when we discuss your plans.
Every season in Norway has something different to offer:
- Summer (June through August): the most reliable weather and very long daylight hours—sometimes it stays light almost all night. Great for first-time visitors to Norway.
- Fall (September to October): dramatic colors, softer light, and fewer crowds. One of the most beautiful times to be here.
- Winter (November through March): snow-covered landscapes and the chance to see the northern lights. More dependent on the weather, but unforgettable when the conditions are right.
- Spring (April through May): fresh and wild, with waterfalls flowing freely and the landscape coming back to life.
There's no wrong time to elope in Norway. Just different moods! We'll figure out what fits your vision.
Practical layers are essential in Norway, where the weather can change quickly, especially in the mountains. Good waterproof footwear, wind- and rain-proof outer layers, and warm mid-layers are the basics.
On top of that, wear something that reflects your personal style. Many couples bring something a little more special to change into once we reach the scenic spots. We'll discuss what works best for your specific location and time of year.
Yes, absolutely. An elopement doesn't have to be just the two of you, though it can be. Some couples invite a handful of close family members, some invite a small group of friends, and some keep it completely private. All of these options are equally valid and beautiful. It's your day, and it's your choice.
