This is What an Ireland Elopement   Feels Like

Cork and Kerry, Ireland elopement Photographer

Imagine waking up in Ireland already knowing your wedding day is planned out perfectly, the light works in your favour, and you aren't fussing about posing or performing.

Time moves differently when your elopement experience is built around what actually matters to you. Your focus shifts away from the cameras and towards each other. (Which actually means better photos.) You get to breathe, notice the light changing, feel the wind on your face, and be fully present.

You’re considering planning an international elopement. A wedding and a trip.

That can feel like A Lot, especially if you’re down a Google rabbit hole.

And that’s completely normal. 

But be very honest with yourself: you know what you want. Trust it. Lean into it. Give in to whimsy. That's the way to happiness, and I’ll make it happen for you.

"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."

Show Up and Be Present

By your elopement day, everything's sorted. You get to fully immerse yourselves in the experience, exploring Ireland at your own pace, while I photograph it all for you.

Three simple steps: choose your package, sign the contract, pay the flat-rate retainer. That's it. You only need a date and "Ireland" as your destination.

On a video call, we'll talk through everything you're hoping for and answer all your questions. I'll create custom packages based on your vision (and prove I’m a real person!) These calls are honestly such a good time, I love getting to meet you all!

"Rachel is very laid-back and knows how to make their clients feel special and comfortable. They genuinely enjoy what they do and will do everything that they can to make sure that you are prepared for and happy with what you have planned."

YOUR IRELAND ELOPEMENT AWAITS

I'm Rachel.
Queer, neurodivergent, endlessly giddy about my job. The folks I work with often want a day that feels whimsical, unhurried, and designed just for them.

I bring a chill, hobbit-like energy and sense of wonder to the proceedings, weaving in small rituals and grounding moments so you stay present instead of performing. Your elopement should feel like exhaling, like coming home to yourself.

So the goal is simple: create space where you can be the most yourselves you've ever been. (In a breathtaking place that makes you feel alive.)

, 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 how the landscapes feel both dramatic and intimate.

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

Whatever the reason, I'm here to make it happen–easily, joyfully, exactly as you imagine it.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

We literally have nothing planned yet... +

Would you believe that about 98% of my clients start exactly where you are? Having a blank canvas to work with means we can create something that's uniquely, wonderfully yours. Let's chat about it — I do free consultations before booking, no strings attached. Just a chance for us to see if we're a good fit and do some rough 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 straight 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 clients 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 after you're booked.

(And if you're worried about travel logistics, here's a lovely thing about Ireland: it's quite a small island. Getting from Dublin airport to pretty much anywhere is surprisingly manageable.)

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

I absolutely adore custom — it's how I operate. 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, and we'll put together something wonderful together.

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 6-8 months in advance, up to 18 months out. (Eloping soon? Couple of months soon? Totally possible. Mapped elopements are great for that!)

Can we invite guests? +

Of course! Eloping doesn't mean you have to be alone (though many of my clients love that option). I generally cap groups at 8-12 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.
