IRELAND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY & PLANNING

DESTINATION IRELAND ELOPEMENTS IN QUINTESSENTIALLY IRISH LANDSCAPES

YOU CAN HAVE THE ELOPEMENT OF YOUR DREAMS HERE IN IRELAND

Cork/KERRY/WATERFORD, Ireland elopement Photographer

Folks come to me when they're looking for something magical without it being "a lot." They want an elopement with big views and beautiful experiences, but don't want to deal with all the overhead and stress that seems to come with it.

Which is fair.

Even if you're coming from abroad, eloping in Ireland can be both incredible and easy. (I've pulled off elopements with less than two months' notice. Internationally. So. Let's get started)

AND IT'S SO MUCH EASIER THAN YOU THINK (!)

It means you’re normal, and you’re trying to organise something big in a place you haven’t even been to yet.

You don’t need a plan right this minute, you just need a starting point: a few landscapes you’re drawn to, a feeling you want the day to have, and the willingness to let me guide you from there.

And if you're feeling overwhelmed, that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.

"Rachel helped my wife and I plan an elopement that was something straight out of a fairytale. The location was otherworldly, and the day, I can only describe as indescribable. They were very attentive, helpful, and an all-around kind and wonderful human being.

Rachel not only planned out an experience we will never forget as long as we live, but documented it perfectly with the most stunning and thorough gallery of photos and videos. Our wedding day exceeded any and all expectations we had, and it's all thanks to the kindness, professionalism, and genuine personal warmth we were met with at Solar Rose. Out of 5, I would give this experience 10 stars if google would let me."

Your Ireland elopement experience
(Technically we only need those 3 steps; this one is literally "show up and have the time of your life." You won't have to worry about anything day of, just enjoy.)

Elopement planning
With locations already chosen, I'll build a day that flows naturally so you're never rushing or left wondering what's going on.

(And I’ll tell you when and what and how every step, I’ve got you)

03

Booking
From an all-in-one-place digital proposal: choose your elopement experience, sign the contract, pay the retainer. That's it. Your date is reserved, and I'm all yours for keeps.

02

Consult call + location options
On a video call, we'll talk through what you're drawn to and narrow it down to real locations that fit you. Things are going to feel a lot more possible and a lot less abstract. (These calls are honestly such a good time, I love getting to meet you all!)

Here's How We Make it Happen

*You don't need any answers right away; we'll map it out together. Most folks who contact me aren't at the "plans" stage yet, just vibes, and that's all we need. You're in good company.

"There are not enough words to express how grateful we are for Rachel.

From the very first conversation, nearly eight months before our elopement, they were so much more than a photographer. Every step of the planning process felt supported, guided, and genuinely cared for. Anytime we had a question, Rachel had an answer. Anytime we needed a recommendation, Rachel knew exactly who to connect us with. Planning an elopement from across the world could have felt overwhelming, but somehow they made it feel easy.

What I appreciated most was how much they listened. Rachel took the time to really understand who we are and what was important to us, and then built a day around that. Every location we visited was a recommendation from them, and each one felt like it was chosen specifically for us. Nothing felt rushed, staged, or like we were following a cookie-cutter itinerary. The entire day felt relaxed, natural, and deeply personal.

When I look back on our wedding day, so much of what made it special was because of Rachel’s guidance, support, and care. They created space for us to simply be present and enjoy one of the most important days of our lives.

And then there are the photos.

I genuinely don’t have the words. They are beyond anything we could have hoped for. Rachel has an incredible ability to capture the big moments, the quiet moments, and all of the little in-between moments that make a day so meaningful. Looking through our gallery feels exactly like reliving the day all over again.

If you are considering eloping in Ireland, I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. We trusted them completely, and I am so thankful we did. We will be grateful forever for the support, guidance, friendship, and memories they gave us, and for helping create a day that was even better than we could have imagined."

YOUR IRELAND ELOPEMENT AWAITS

I'm Rachel.
Queer, neurodivergent, endlessly giddy about my couples and my job. The folks I work with usually want an elopement in a breathtaking place without any extra faff. 

I bring a chill, hobbit-like energy and sense of wonder to the proceedings. I'll guide you when you need it and disappear into the background when you don't, so you can enjoy yourselves instead of "doing it for the camera."

The goal is simple: experience Ireland fully (without getting overwhelmed by planning), and get beautiful photographs to remember it by.

Meet your Ireland elopement photographer

, MY DARLINGS
hello

Let's Get You to Ireland!

You're here because something about Ireland speaks to you. Maybe it's the pagan history or the dramatic landscapes.

Maybe you just know in your gut this is where you should be.

Whatever the reason, I'm here to make it happen. This. Is. Possible. my darlings, and it's easier than you think.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

We literally have nothing planned yet... +

Would you believe that almost all my couples start exactly where you are? Having a blank canvas to work with isn't a bad thing! Let's chat about it — I do free consultations before booking, no strings attached. It's a chance for us to see if we're a good fit and do some tangible planning together.

Can we do [insert idea here] for our elopement? +

99% of the time? Absolutely. I'm here to support your vision, whatever that might be. That said, I'll always be honest with you if something won't work quite the way you're imagining. My priority is giving you the best possible experience, even if that occasionally means suggesting an alternative.

Help! We don't know where in Ireland we want to elope +

My darlings, you're in excellent company — most of my couples start with just "Ireland" and that's perfectly fine. It's all part of our planning process. We'll sort out the perfect location together right there on your consult call.

I'll walk you through it; it's not your job to know about all of Irelands hidden gems.

What if we want something custom that doesn't fit into a typical package? +

That's how I operate! I've done this enough times to have a planning system, but every elopement is unique, which means every package is custom-built to match.

The best way to explore all the possibilities is to have a quick call about your Ireland dreams; we'll figure out locations then and there, and we'll put together something wonderful for you.

How far in advance should we book? +

The earlier the better, my darlings. More planning time means a more relaxed experience for everyone. I'm currently booking 2026 and 2027, and typically book around 6-12 months in advance, up to 18 months out. (Eloping soon? Couple of months soon? Totally possible. Just, you know...talk to me sooner rather than later)

Can we invite guests? +

Of course! Eloping doesn't mean you have to be alone (though many of my couples love that option). I generally cap groups at 6-8 guests, depending on your package and plans. Your elopement should focus on you; not managing a small crowd's worth of opinions is one of the perks.
