elopement photographer in Marrakech

An elopement is a wedding without the crowd: the two of you, sometimes a few close friends, and a day built around what you actually want to do.

I have photographed an elopement and couple sessions at the Royal Mansour Marrakech, and I can help you shape the day in the city or elsewhere in Morocco.

what the day can look like

  • Getting ready at your hotel or riad.
  • A first look or a short ceremony, in a garden, on a terrace or in a private villa.
  • A couple session in the best light of the day.
  • Dinner, or simply a walk together, photographed quietly.

paperwork and ceremony

The legal requirements for marrying in Morocco depend on your nationalities and religion. Many couples marry officially at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Marrakech. Check with your embassy or a wedding planner before you book flights.

coverage

An elopement usually fits the Essentials collection (half day), or the Experience collection over several days. Tell me how your day is shaped and I will send a tailored quote.

There is no rule: some couples come alone, others bring a few friends or family.

do you work with wedding planners?

Yes. If you have a planner, I coordinate the timing with them directly.
