Meet your Wedding Photographer in Budapest
Hello, I am Zsuzsa.
You can call me Susana. I’m from Budapest—I grew up here, and honestly, I think it’s one of the best cities in the world. I’m absolutely in love with it. I’d be honoured to be your guide, elopement photographer, and travel companion when you choose to elope in this magical city.
I’ve been a photographer and visual artist for over 15 years. Capturing love and life through my lens brings me endless joy. It’s always an honour to be part of your mini-elopement in Budapest and to help create memories that last a lifetime. I truly value the joy of co-creating images—my photos wouldn’t mean anything without the people in them, their emotions, and the beautiful surroundings that frame their stories. Photography, for me, is a celebration of life, and that’s why it’s my greatest passion.
I speak English, German, Hungarian, Spanish, Italian, and French.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me moving—I love dancing, creating art, and fully enjoying life. I’m a big fan of yoga, pranayama, and all kinds of physical movement. I’m also a fire dancer and juggler! For me, movement and dance perfectly complement my photography—they both keep me inspired, energised, and present.

This is a sample itinerary based on sunset timing in May. Of course, it can be fully tailored to your preferences, and if you’re more of an early riser, we can also plan a beautiful sunrise elopement in Budapest.

5:30 PM – Exploring Budapest, a relaxed walk, casual photo sessions, and maybe a coffee or drink at a local café
6:30 PM – Vow exchange at a scenic hilltop location, followed by a portrait session
7:15 PM – Soaking in the golden hour before sunset and capturing more magical moments of your elopement in Budapest, during blue hour (around 8 PM)
8:30 PM – I’ll drop you off at a cozy restaurant and say goodbye as you begin your evening celebration

Your destination wedding in Budapest itinerary is flexible and can be adjusted to suit your vision. There’s so much to experience when you elope to Budapest—and I’ll help you choose the best spots to make the most of your elopement in Budapest. The city is easy to explore on foot, but taxis are always an option for longer distances. We’ll pause for coffee or snack breaks whenever you’d like—Budapest is a culinary delight, with delicious finds on every corner.
The vow exchange typically takes place at a scenic public location. I have several beautiful options we can discuss once your booking is confirmed.

LGBTQ+ friendly.
There is a possibility to get legally married: Good news—foreigners can legally get married in Hungary. The not-so-good news is that the process can be a bit complicated. It’s best to begin several months in advance. After gathering and translating the necessary documents, you’ll need to travel to Hungary to register in person. The legal elopement in Budapest ceremony can usually be scheduled about two months after registration. I can connect you with a trusted local service provider who can assist you with the legal process. Please note that this option involves an additional cost, starting at approximately 1,400 USD.
