Hi, I’m Ellen.
I’m an international elopement & wedding filmmaker based between the Caribbean and Europe.
MY STYLE
My style of filming is unobtrusive and laid-back. I focus on capturing real, genuine emotions and spontaneous moments, without the distractions of over-the-top equipment or awkward poses.
Whether you’re saying “I do” under the stars on the powdery sands of Curaçao, surrounded by the grandeur of Swiss alpine peaks, or in the heart of a historic Italian villa, I’ll be there to tell your story exactly as it happens — timeless, emotional, and uniquely yours.
But let’s face it, you don’t want just anyone tagging along for one of the most personal experiences of your life. That’s why it’s so important to find someone you’re excited to have with you on such a special day — and I hope you’ll feel like I could be your kind of person.
My journey
My love for storytelling started as a child with a camera and a single roll of film on family vacations. Every photo mattered, so I learned to wait patiently for just the right moment.
Fast-forward a few years, my partner had the brilliant idea to document our long-term travels for our family. Little did he know, I’d spend the next year and a half with a camera glued to my hand, capturing every experience. That trip sparked my love for capturing natural light, unique angles and those spontaneous blink-and-you-miss-it moments — elements I now bring into every wedding film I create.
Video keeps memories alive
Weddings and elopements are filled with fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be preserved — like the tear in Dad’s eye during the ceremony or that quiet, special moment between the two of you, taking in the view after climbing that mountain.
As someone who loves adventure and thrives in nature, I find inspiration in the places you choose. That’s why I create films that bring all those feelings back every time you press play.
Love at first wedding
And to think, I never imagined myself creating wedding films when I was younger, but everything changed when I unexpectedly filmed my first wedding in 2023. In that moment, it all just fell perfectly into place.
my experience
Originally from the Netherlands, I’ve filmed weddings all across Europe — from the Netherlands and Belgium to the Swiss Alps and various regions of Italy (including Tuscany, Umbria, Lake Como, Lake Garda, and the Dolomites).
Having spent countless hours exploring Europe’s mountains and working alongside a certified mountain guide in the Alps and Dolomites, I know how to find those breathtaking, off-the-beaten-path locations that make your wedding or elopement unforgettable.
Then life took an adventurous tropical turn when my partner’s job brought us to the Caribbean.
So here we are, living on the stunning island of Curaçao.
Living here has only deepened my love for nature and travel. The contrast between Curaçao’s tropical beauty and Europe’s rugged mountain landscapes keeps me inspired and fuels my creativity. From hidden beaches and lush green landscapes to charming intimate venues, I’ve discovered some of the Caribbean’s most magical places, but you can also still find me often in my beloved European mountains.
I’d love to show you some of my favorite gems, whether it’s in the Caribbean or Europe.
Fun facts
I traveled in a 4×4 with rooftop tent from Canada to Argentina — so i’m ready to visit together!
I also work with a certified mountain guide in the Alps and Dolomites to design multiday hiking trips for her company.
I love to fly the drone.
I was born in the Netherlands but I’ve lived in three other countries: Belgium, Macedonia & now Curaçao.
I’m terrified of fish, yet I swam with whale sharks.
I love the mountains. Put me in the mountains and I’m happy.
This is Roy, my favorite person since 2018.
Whether you’re dreaming of a tropical ceremony, a mountain adventure, or an intimate celebration in a place close to your heart, I’m here to help make it unforgettable — literally.
My favorite couples
I’m drawn to couples who are open-minded, spontaneous, and adventurous — the kind of people who embrace the unexpected and focus on what truly matters.
If you’re planning a wedding that feels intimate, personal, and authentically you, we might just be the perfect match. We’ll work together to create a wedding film that feels just as special as your day — no cheesy poses, just the genuine, natural flow of the day. Because when the adventure has ended, it’s these memories that will stay with you.
