Elopement Photographer Algarve
Eloping with Way Up High was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From every little detail in understanding the location and logistics, to providing endless options to choose from in planning the day itself, we could not have put together such an amazing trip without her help. Working with her was incredibly easy and at the end of it all we felt more like her great friends than clients.

Are you ready for your Algarve Elopement?
Portugal is getting more and more attention in the last years and i definitely know why! Portugal conquered my heart since i set foot in this beautiful country for the first time. The Algarve is the most southern area of Portugal. I’m, as your Algarve Elopement photographer value the mild climate year-round, ensuring that couples can enjoy their big day without the worry of extreme temperatures. Besides that the landscape is breathtaking, the coastline is known for their golden cliffs, sandy coves and crystal-clear azure waters. In winter, you will even find some surf spots around there, perfect for longboarders.
On the very south-western point of Portugal, you’ll find a little village called Sagres. Sagres is renowned for its stunning beaches and rugged landscapes. The town is a haven for surfers, offering some of the most challenging waves in Portugal. Beaches like Praia do Beliche and Praia do Tonel are not just for surfing; they're also perfect spots for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying breathtaking sunsets. The Cape Saint Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente) provides awe-inspiring views of the ocean and is known as one of the most westerly points of Europe. There are so many more places that i would love to share with you but picture this:

Meet us, your elopement Photographer, Videographer and Editor
Meet Thijsiena, the ultimate outdoorsy queen who can withstand -12 degree weather in her self-built shelter like a champ. When it comes to surfing you’ll find her during Wintertime in Portugal with a really thick wetsuit in the Atlantic. This all sounds like she can handle cold temperatures, but deep down she’s a summer child. Nothing makes her more happy then high temperatures and surfing without wetsuite in the Philippines or in Durban, South Africa. And then there's Marina, who fell head over heels for the charming country of Ireland. Marina accompanies me on Elopements when you want your special day on film ;) When we hang out, we adore snuggling up with Marina's purrfect cats, sipping on coffee with oat milk (because dairy isn't our jam), or simply taking in the stunning, jaw-dropping views of the mountains from an alpine hut. Nature is so darn breathtaking that sometimes it moves us to tears or gives us goosebumps. Can you blame us for being totally smitten?
