Ireland elopement packages with everything you need, nothing you don't. You get planning assistance, photography, visitor guides, itinerary building, and vendor recommendations.
These packages are not all-inclusive when it comes to vendors.
Nothing wrong with that style, but it isn't mine. I'd rather you get the choice to hire exactly who you want instead of "whoever happens to be available that day." Hire the vendors you need, don't hire the ones you don't, and choose people who fit your personality and style.
Packages DO include my travel in a given region, unless we discuss otherwise. Tax is included. You'll always know final numbers up front before you're booked.
Which means I understand Ireland in two ways: as someone who belongs to it, and as someone who remembers what it feels like to discover it for the first time.
Because I know Ireland's soul, not just its tourist spots, you're getting more than a photographer. You're working with someone who can help you:
- Uncover the hidden gems beyond the typical tourist stops
- Experience authentic Irish culture
- Navigate Irish weather and logistics
- Create a relaxed, meaningful experience rather than a rushed photoshoot
- Discover the perfect spot for your ceremony and beautiful places to explore
Meet your guide to
hidden Ireland
How We Design Your Elopement
Every elopement I create follows the same simple philosophy: Location first. Everything else is easy after that, because I know what works for each place I recommend.
Instead of beginning with rigid timelines or getting bogged down in details, we start with real places I know well. On your consult call, we’ll talk through what kinds of landscapes speak to you (cliffs, forests, ruins, coastline) and the type of experience you want to have. I’ll narrow that down to specific locations that fit your vision.
Many couples leave that first conversation already knowing exactly where they’ll get married.
Included in Every Elopement Experience:
Every Ireland elopement package includes both photography and planning support, so you’re not trying to piece things together from blogs and guesswork. I remove the uncertainty and build an elopement for you that works.
And then there are the places locals keep to themselves.
Over the years, I’ve built a catalogue of ceremony locations, the best viewpoints, and hidden landscapes that work really well for elopements. Beautiful places where you can stand together and say your vows without an audience of tourists.
(And yes, we’ll always have backup options, because Ireland does love a plot twist.)
Access to Hidden Ireland
If that sounds like poetic, vague nonsense, what I mean is this: you won't have to follow the itinerary to the minute or risk your day being ruined. Instead, we plan for breathing room and flexibility.
That flexibility means we can:
- Stay somewhere longer if you're loving it
- Shift time to avoid or chase weather
- Move to backup locations if need be
An elopement experience that feels like an adventure
It’s a real experience you're sharing together, not social media content. And the last thing I want is for you to feel like you need to pose for the camera like school photos from 2002. My approach is lightly guided and documentary at heart, helping you feel comfortable.
My work has a film/oil painting vibe that doesn’t follow trends, so you still love your photos decades from now.
You’ll receive:
- A full gallery of carefully edited images
- Landscape imagery that captures that “quintessential Ireland” look you came here for
- Drone photography and video clips
PHOTOGRAPHS THAT you'll enjoy taking
- Where should we go?
- What if the weather changes?
- How do we make this happen?

RELAXED, EXPERIENCED GUIDANCE
If I could give Rachel 100 stars, I would. They truly are your go-to photographer and planner in Ireland. They make the process incredibly easy and find the best views to photograph. Rachel truly has a talent connecting couples with their most anticipated day. Those who have worked with Rachel know that they are not just a photographer, they are the heartbeat of the entire experience — part planner, part therapist, part friend who happens to have an incredible eye behind the camera.
They anticipate what you need before you even know you need it, and somehow make even the most stressful parts of planning feel effortless. Rachel doesn't just capture photos, they capture the feeling of the day — the nerves, the joy, the little glances between you and your partner that you'll want to remember forever. If you're getting married in Ireland, do yourself a favor and book Rachel. You won't just get a photographer, you'll get someone truly invested in making your day everything you dreamed of.
Rather than thinking in terms of time, it’s more helpful to think about scope: how many locations we include, how much wandering is involved, which activities you want to do, etc.
Most couples travelling to Ireland choose a full-day or multi-day elopement, not just because they want more photos and more variety, but because they want more breathing room. There’s more flexibility if the weather shifts, more time to explore, and more space for you to settle into things.
Ireland Elopement Package PRICING:
- HALF-DAY ELOPEMENT EXPERIENCE:
Take full advantage of your trip to Ireland with a multi-day elopement! Two- and three- day elopement experiences are available if you want the complete, immersive, Irish experience. Multi-day elopements are great if you’re bringing guests but also want time to yourselves, you want to see several different areas in Ireland, or you just want an epic trip designed and photographed for you by an expert.
Elopements here aren’t measured in hours of photography coverage, my darlings.
They’re measured in possibility.
A focused, charming experience centred around one location.
Perfect for couples who want something intimate and sweet. Usually around 3-4 hours.
Starting at €3400
- FULL-DAY ELOPEMENT EXPERIENCE:
A more expansive day with room for multiple locations, slower pacing, and far more flexibility if the weather shifts. This is the experience most couples choose when they want their elopement to feel like a full day in Ireland, beyond the ceremony. Usually around 6-8 hours.
Starting at €4800
Note: all you need to reserve your date is a €1k retainer. The remainder isn't due until 30 days before your elopement, and payment plans are available if you prefer.
- MULTI-DAY ELOPEMENT EXPERIENCE
Rachel was incredible to work with! They were so communicative throughout the whole process and really put zero pressure on us during the planning. The location lookbook they created to help guide our planning was so helpful, and they did an amazing job at capturing different options for us. We felt so comfortable throughout the getting ready phase and during the ceremony, we were able to solely focus on each other and that moment, which Rachel captured beautifully. We would work with Rachel for our wedding in any life!
Your experience is the most important thing in all of this. Albums are how you relive that experience.
Your album is at the forefront of my mind all the time. Planning out locations? I'm thinking about how they'll work together in your album. Drawing up the itinerary? Experience, story, album. Photographing? Obviously thinking about your album and making sure I'm telling the full story of your elopement.
I could go on and on (and I will), but for now, you can see more about albums here! (They're the best. I love them. Oh my days.)
You should print your photos!

What a full-day elopement can look like
Some couples initially imagine something "small and simple" for their elopement. What they usually mean is intentional, relaxed, and meaningful. Something about big weddings isn't for them, and they don't want the "fuss."
A full day doesn't mean more fuss. Here's what it can look like in Ireland:
LATE MORNING:
A slow start at your cottage or bnb, coffee together, getting ready with the windows open and either helping each other get dressed or surprising each other with your outfits.
AFTERNOON:
Driving along the coast to your quiet ceremony location and walking out along the cliffs until you find the perfect spot.
You say your vows somewhere breathtaking, explore the nearby landscapes, maybe have a picnic or take a ferry to a nearby island.
SUNSET:
One final stop for portraits and exploration as the sun sets over the Atlantic.
EVENING:
Heading to a pub or restaurant for a celebratory end to the day, maybe pulling your own pints or enjoying some live trad music.
Want a more visual look at real elopement days?
Rachel was incredible at their job. From the initial consultation, through the planning phase and all the way to the ceremony itself. They made our special day (and days before) absolutely magical and captured every little detail to help us relive that day for the rest of our lives. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more hospitable person, the photos all came out perfect and the location scouting was impeccable.
If you’re thinking about sending it to Ireland to elope, Rachel is the one to take care of you.
The Consult Call
Every elopement begins with a conversation, and these calls are truly one of my favourite parts of the whole process.
Think of it like: if we could meet up in a cosy cafe and flip through photo books of all the cool places that fit your wedding day dreams, that's what I would do.
But geography bends rules for no one, so online it is, but that's the vibe.
(opposite of a corporate Zoom call, I am allergic)
- an overall mood/feeling/vibe they're drawn to
- a general sense of which types of landscapes they love
Frequently
Asked
Questions
"Rachel had a great way of making us feel comfortable enough to be ourselves and was able to capture who we are as a couple. They communicated well with us about what we were doing next and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. Not to mention our photos came out gorgeous!"
