Intimate. Effortless. Unforgettable.
If you’ve ever dreamed of exchanging vows in a place that feels wild, romantic, and full of history, then eloping in Ireland is the perfect choice for adventurous couples. From misty mountains and windswept cliffs to peaceful lakes and castle courtyards, this small island packs in more beauty and atmosphere than almost anywhere else in the world.
Many of my couples travel from the United States and Canada to elope here — drawn by the dramatic scenery, rich heritage, and the welcoming, easygoing nature of the Irish people. Some come to reconnect with family roots; others simply fall in love with the idea of eloping in Ireland set against a breathtaking backdrop.
Whatever brings you here, I’ll help you make your elopement simple, relaxed, and completely personal — and I’ll capture it in a way that tells the story of your experience beautifully.
Why Elope to Ireland?
Eloping in Ireland allows you to embrace the romance and adventure that the country has to offer, making it an unforgettable experience.
Ireland is made for elopements. It offers:
- Epic scenery in every direction – Within a couple of hours, you can go from rolling green hills to rugged cliffs, quiet ruins, or serene lakes.
- Warm Irish hospitality – Wherever you go, you’ll be met with genuine kindness and interest in your story.
- Ease of travel – With direct flights from many U.S. and Canadian cities, Ireland is the ideal first stop for a European adventure.
Whether you imagine a quiet ceremony beside a lake in the Wicklow Mountains, exchanging vows on the Cliffs of Moher, or saying “I do” in a centuries-old castle courtyard, Ireland gives you the freedom to create a day that reflects who you are as a couple.
How I Help You Plan
Planning an elopement from overseas can feel daunting — but that’s where I come in. I’ve worked with many American and Canadian couples, and I know exactly how to make the process straightforward and enjoyable from the very start.
Here’s what I can help with:
- Choosing your location – Based on your style, preferences, and travel plans, I’ll recommend the best settings for both your ceremony and portraits.
- Perfect timing and light – We’ll plan around Ireland’s unpredictable weather to get the best conditions and atmosphere.
- Trusted suppliers – I’ll connect you with talented hair and makeup artists, florists, celebrants, and hair stylists who regularly work with my couples and understand what’s needed for an outdoor or destination elopement.
- Planning the flow of your day – From morning preparations to the final sunset shots, I’ll help you create a relaxed timeline that keeps everything running smoothly.
The goal is to make things easy. You can simply arrive, enjoy your day, and know that everything has been thought through.
Travel & Accommodation
Most couples arrive into Dublin Airport, rent a car, and use that freedom to explore. Driving here is part of the adventure — and it’s the best way to reach Ireland’s most scenic and secluded spots.
I can also recommend beautiful places to stay that suit your plans — from luxury castle hotels to boutique guesthouses in the countryside near your chosen location.
Incredible Locations for Elopements in Ireland
There’s no shortage of breathtaking spots across the island, each offering something unique for your story:
- Glendalough, County Wicklow – Lakes, forests, and monastic ruins surrounded by mountains. A peaceful, atmospheric setting less than 90 minutes from Dublin.
- Lough Tay (Guinness Lake) – A dramatic mountain lake with sweeping views, ideal for couples who love nature and privacy.
- Cliffs of Moher & Doolin Coast – The ultimate Atlantic backdrop. Bold, rugged, and full of Irish character.
- Connemara National Park – Quiet, remote, and cinematic — perfect for couples who want something truly wild.
- The Wicklow Mountains & Sally Gap – Rolling hills, heather fields, and winding roads that create incredible photo opportunities.
- The Causeway Coastal Route, Northern Ireland – Dramatic cliffs, stone ruins, and beaches that featured heavily in Game of Thrones. For fans of the series, this route — including locations like Ballintoy Harbour, The Dark Hedges, and Dunluce Castle — is an obvious and unforgettable choice.
If you want something even more off-the-beaten-path, I’ll suggest hidden locations that most tourists never see — places that feel truly yours for the day.

Every couple receives a curated gallery of beautifully edited images that capture the emotion, landscape, and joy of your day.
Your Experience
My role is to make sure you can fully enjoy your day without stress or awkward posing. I’ll quietly guide when needed but mostly let moments unfold naturally.
Most couples tell me they were nervous at first — but within minutes, they’re laughing, relaxed, and completely absorbed in the experience. My aim is that you’ll remember how your day felt — the wind, the laughter, the excitement — not just how it looked.
When you see your photos later, you’ll relive that feeling all over again.
Beyond Ireland — European Elopements
While Ireland is where I’m based, I also photograph elopements across Europe, including Iceland, Spain, Italy, and France. Flights are plentiful and very cheap in Europe so it’s easy and inexpensive to travel.
Each destination brings its own light, landscapes, and story — from Iceland’s glaciers to the Dolomites’ dramatic peaks and the sun-drenched coasts of Spain and France.
You can see examples of these adventures on my blog.
