Destination Wedding & Elopement Videographer
Based between Europe and the Caribbean
Imagine: it’s your 10th wedding anniversary. You press play.
Your laughter, your love, your special moments, your happy tears, the people who made it all so special — all come back to life.
That’s the power of video.
Photos freeze a moment in time, but video lets you relive it. The way it looked, the way it sounded, the way it felt. Investing in a wedding film is one of the greatest gifts you can give your future self.
To me, a wedding film is about those spontaneous, real moments — no staged poses, no forced smiles. Just honest emotions, captured dynamically and boldly, woven into timeless visuals that take you back to the way it felt, every time.
I approach each wedding with a calm presence, an eye for detail, and complete flexibility, so that every story unfolds naturally, exactly as it should.
Whether it’s an intimate ceremony on the beach, an adventurous elopement on a cliff, or a romantic wedding celebration in an elegant villa surrounded by rolling hills — I’m there to capture your story, exactly as you lived it.

I believe your wedding day should unfold naturally, without awkward poses or distractions. I’m there to catch the real moments that make your day uniquely yours.
Hi, I’m Ellen
Dutch destination wedding & elopement filmmaker based in Curaçao, the Caribbean.
If you had asked me when I was younger, I wouldn’t have expected to become a wedding filmmaker – but here I am. Because after just one wedding, I was sold! The unexpected moments, the real emotions, the magic of it all.
Now I’m splitting my time between the Caribbean and Europe, filming weddings full-time. I love working with couples who care more about the experience than perfection — the ones who embrace the wind in their hair and mud on their boots because it’s all part of the story.
If that sounds like you, I can’t wait to hear your dreams, show you some of my favorite spots, and create something truly unforgettable together.
Why You’ll Want
a Wedding Film (Trust me)
Photos are incredible, they freeze those once-in-a-lifetime moments forever.
But let’s be real: some things are just better in motion and with sound. Like the way your partner’s voice cracks during your vows, your parents’ happy tears, or the epic dance moves — no still photo can do justice. Video brings it all to life in a way that makes you feel every moment again, every time you watch.
The goal? Capture the honest moments without interrupting the natural flow of your day.
And no, you don’t have to be a pro in front of the camera. I keep things laid-back and real — no awkward poses or big productions. You’ll forget I’m even there.
What I do
I capture love stories in stunning locations, whether you choose an intimate wedding surrounded by loved ones or an adventurous elopement, the most important thing is that your day truly reflects you.
Weddings
Personal, intimate weddings that feel 100% you. Connection with your friends and family, with a beautiful setting to match, and a day that flows naturally.
Elopements
No big guest list, no stress — just the two of you celebrating your love in an epic location. It’s all about your story, your way, your adventure.
