What they have to say about their adventure
Our elopement near Grenoble in the French Alps was nothing short of magical—exactly what we had envisioned. The breathtaking scenery, the intimate moments, and the incredible adventure all came together perfectly. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the day. And the photos—wow! They captured every emotion, every glance, every laugh, in the most stunning way. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience or more beautiful memories to cherish forever.
Reflections on the day
Anna and Mitch reached out to me to plan their dream Grenoble elopement but were torn between the stunning French Alps and the historic chateaux of Dordogne. After discussing their vision, they chose a breathtaking, open-air mountain location in the Chartreuse region, near Grenoble—a perfect choice for their adventure.
On the morning of their Grenoble elopement, we faced challenging weather forecasts, so we adapted our plans and headed to the forest to shelter from the rain. The couple rented a chateau for their small group of guests, where we started the day with a coffee date in Grenoble, capturing intimate moments in a charming café.
The day unfolded beautifully despite the weather. We ventured into the mountains, found the perfect forest clearing for their ceremony, and took in the breathtaking views of Grenoble and the Chartreuse mountains. The ceremony, conducted by a close friend, was deeply emotional and intimate, making their Grenoble elopement truly unforgettable. We ended the day with epic sunset photos in the mountains, while their guests enjoyed drinks back in Grenoble.
Behind the scenes of their Grenoble elopement
A short anecdote: This couple had their hearts set on a beautiful castle for their elopement and had previously scouted the perfect location, though they didn’t recall its name. After they sent me photos of the castle, I spent a few hours searching and was able to identify it. I then connected them with the castle, ensuring they could have their dream ceremony in the very place they loved.
This elopement won 4 international photography awards
