Finland Elopement
Winter Wedding in Lapland

(This package is currently unavailable - please check out our other Finland Elopement Package)
The most romantic Winter Wedding in Lapland you could imagine is here! Say your vows intimately during your Finland Elopement in a snowy forest setting, surrounded by wild reindeer. Enjoy cross-country or downhill skiing, and then perform an aurora dance to encourage the northern lights to appear while you watch them from your glass cabin. That's a lot of epicness in one package! This could be the Finland Elopement of your dreams if you choose to embark on the adventure. Disclaimer: I can't guarantee that the northern lights come out during your Finland Elopement. You can be sure that I will dance my hardest and make offerings to the gods! If you can't ski/snowboard, we can go snowshoeing instead.

• Monday

• ‎

  (Mondays are when the snowmobiling happens in your Finland Elopement):
You’ve already arrived, perhaps a day or two earlier. You’re booked into your accommodation, and ready to rock!

• 3:00 PM

  We start your Finland Elopement on a sunset snowmobiling tour with two official photo stops along the way. One of you needs to be able to drive a snowmobile, which is possible with a regular driver’s license. If this is not possible for you, we can instead visit an Icelandic horse ranch.

• 5:30 PM

  We’re back

• 6:00 PM

  Dinner

• 8:00 PM

  Northern lights gazing from the frozen lake! We will need to take a taxi here and there will be a 20-minute walk through the forest. Timing depends on if/when the lights come out.

• 11:00 PM

  Hopefully we’ve got the lights and everyone is in bed by now.

• Tuesday

• 9:30 AM

  The next day of your Finland Elopement, after we’ve had breakfast, we head towards the reindeer. We get a taxi to a specific point, then start walking.

• 11:00 AM

  After walking through a beautiful, snowy forest, we come upon some wild reindeer. They are friendly, don’t worry! They are also afraid of humans, so you can’t get too close, or they will run off. But they’re always hanging around somewhere!

• 11:15 AM

  IT’S GO-TIME. Time to say your vows to each other, get your tissues out, and let yourselves be fully vulnerable with each other during your Wedding in Lapland.

• 11:30 AM

  You’re crying, I’m crying, the sky is crying with some fresh, fluffy snow. It’s been a beautiful Finland Elopement moment, and we continue to spend another hour taking photos of reindeer.

• 1:30 PM

  We’ve made it back to civilization, so it’s lunchtime.

• 3:30 PM

  We go to the Glass Cabins so you can check in and are ready at 4.

• 4:00 PM

  We start with a romantic shoot between the two of you at the glass cabins. Depending on the weather, I will bring my drone out and take photos from above.

• 6:00 PM

  Dinner time, depending on the light and weather I may go back to my accommodation for a while.

• 8:00 PM

  We start shooting with the northern lights! I start by getting some while you’re in your cozy cabin (shooting through the glass), but then you need to join me outside in the snow 😉

• 10:00 PM

  We wrap up for the night

• ‎

  Keep in mind, the lights could come out only at 1 am, or sadly not at all.

• Wednesday

• 10:00 AM

  You’ve checked into your new accommodation. By 11 am we’re at the ski hill, we’ve rented our gear, and up we go! We take photos of the two of you in your wedding attire ripping it down the mountain (just kidding, if you go too fast, I will miss you!)

• 2:00 PM

  That’s a wrap for skiing.

• 3:00 PM

  Optional, you can opt to ski longer instead, or do a sunset snowshoe hike. We can visit a traditional Finnish sauna and do some cold dipping in a hole in the frozen lake. I might not be able to get any shots of the two of you in the sauna due to the humidity (possibly a quick few at the beginning, but sometimes my lens fogs too much to get anything). But I can certainly get some photos of you getting into that frozen lake! Photos, or it didn’t happen 😉

• ‎

  And that’s a wrap! We’ve had an incredible time together, hopefully, lots of northern lights, and you’re now feeling like a real married couple.

There is some flexibility in the schedule, and I can always ask if the snowmobiling can be done another day, but normally they embark on Mondays. Aside from that, you can let me know in which order you’d like to do your Finland Elopement. I can advise you on if it works, or what else needs to be changed. I may need to contact the companies to see what is possible for them.

• Actual hours of photography vary depending on which activities are done on your Finland Elopement, but you have full coverage over the time we spend together in those 3 days, with the exception of obviously required eating and sleeping breaks.
