Hey there I’m Thijsiena!
I think from the bottom of my heart that eloping is the way to get married. I think eloping is for all you dreamers, globetrotters, vagabonds and wild hearted people.
In my past I photographed a lot of traditional weddings. Till I realized that my couples feel stressed and bow to all the expectations from others on their big day. So I thought it’s time for a change! In my opinion, a wedding is so much more than just a formality. A wedding is the start of a lifelong journey, one beautiful adventure. I want encourage everyone to make their own dream come true. Don’t fear to break with traditions if they don’t mean anything for your own journey. Always let love be your starting point. Be fearless, wild and free.
With love,
Thijsiena

Hey there,
You know what they say: "Do you hear the mountains calling?" I hear the world calling. It seems like every beautiful corner of the world is calling my name.
Something about the ocean and the mountains leaves me speechless. I love to watch the waves break, I love to see the sunrise over a mountain peak, I love to challenge the waves on a surfboard and diving and hiking is like meditation for me. But the best part of travelling for me is the food. It's how you get to know a country and its culture.
Basically, I’m a summer person, but if it’s winter I won’t stay inside either. Sleeping in the forest while having -12°C was quite challenging this year, but heaps of fun! There’s nothing I won’t try. You want to climb a mountain to get married? I’m up for it! You want to jump out of a plane? You’ve got me on board. You want to set sails and get married on a ship? Let the seas be with us!
So wherever you want to elope, as crazy as your ideas seem, I will be with you and make your dreams come true!

I have Marina by my side. She is my long-term business partner. Together we have been photographing traditional weddings since 2017, so we have some experience up our sleeves. Elopements are a bit too exciting for her, but from time to time she accompanies me. However, she does all the editing and I love having her by my side when she joins me on an adventure. ❤
My values
Love is love.Inclusiveness and diversity is so damn important to me and I choose our locations accordingly. It is wonderful to share this special moment with you, therefore, I want to create a safe space for everyone to express their love in their own terms. LGBTQIA+ couples are more then welcome.
I love the stunning beauty of nature and I believe, that every one of us is responsible to keep it beautiful. Our guided tours follow the leave no trace principle and I highly encourage sustainable practice during your adventures to preserve these wonderful places for future generations.
Sustainability is important to me! Therefore, I do our best to choose the most environmentally friendly option of travel whenever possible. Instead of an inland flight, let’s go on a road trip together or take the train. It’s fun and it saves the planet!
I say no to racism and expect our couples to be respectful of the wonderful cultures we might explore together. An open heart is an open mind.
