Days that stretch
Mornings that start early. Evenings that run long. Coffee in the cold. Wine in the afternoon sun. Being so fully there you forget to document it – luckily, I did.
Elopements
I photograph and design your elopement.
Switzerland · Iceland · Dolomites
The two of you, the landscape, the light. An editorial eye for documentary moments, and the experience shaped around what is just yours.
Micro-weddings
I photograph your day(s).
Switzerland · Italy · Europe
The two of you, the location, the gathering, the vision. Documentary at heart, editorial eye – I move through what’s happening and shape how it’s seen.
Hi, I’m Eline
I grew up with paint-stained hands and alpine air. My father was an artist, and our family moved between the Netherlands, Switzerland, and France.
I’ve lived in six countries, speak six languages, and eloped because a traditional wedding didn’t fit us. That choice – to do something completely ours – changed how I see celebration.
Before this work, I was an art mediator. I moved from facilitating the connection between a viewer and an artwork to being present with people in landscapes that move them.
In my twenties I lived near Lake Garda. The Dolomites and Italian Lakes became landscapes I knew from local life. And in 2024 my husband, two boys and I lived a year in the Swiss Alps. These mountains aren’t work to me. They’re home.

In their words
B & J
“We wanted our love to be celebrated in a way that felt best to us, and she allowed us the space to do exactly that without any judgement. She’s really become like family to both of us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the adventure she helped us create.”
L & R
“There isn’t one thing I would change about the 2-day elopement we had. I trusted Eline to make decisions for me on situations that I wasn’t completely sure what would be best, and I knew that if something were to go wrong, she had a back-up plan ready. Our pictures are so incredibly beautiful. I will never stop obsessing over them.”
A & T
“Today marks one year since our wedding and we are still reeling from that happy day and the memories Eline so perfectly captured. Eline made it so easy to collaborate and kept communication open and flowing with us as we crafted our special day.”

The Morning That Gave Them More Than Planned: A Sunrise Elopement in the Dolomites
Three weeks before their elopement, the package stopped moving. Inside: the dress, the suit, heirlooms sewn into the seams. Eighteen hours before sunrise at Cinque Torri, it arrived. Four outfits instead of two. A backup plan that added instead of subtracted.

When the Trail Is the Celebration: A Via Alpina Hiking Elopement in the Jungfrau Region
They planned a ten-day thru-hike on the Via Alpina. Wedding clothes vacuum-sealed inside their packs. Vows folded and carried from the first step. The elopement wasn’t a pause in the journey. It was part of it.

Hiking to Seealpsee: An Overnight Elopement in Alpstein
They grew up a few miles apart and never crossed paths. Met in 2019. Then the world shut down, and instead of pulling them apart, it gave them months of shared ordinary days. When it came time to mark what was already true, they packed their wedding clothes and hiked into the Alpstein.
