The Alpine Elopement Studio France, Italy, Switzerland & Austria

Winter sports and summer hiking elopements in the Alps …

The Alpine Elopement Studio is a collaboration between photographer Verity Taylor-Littler and I, bringing together our skills to create and capture unique, fun elopements for couples who love to ski, snowboard or hike.

You let us know when and where you are wishing to celebrate your elopement and we will be there to photograph your ceremony and any extras you would like for your special day.

We adore to ski and hike, and to just be in the mountains. So it’s our pleasure and privilege to do this for you.

Our paths crossed in the Alps, where we found ourselves working together at breathtaking weddings, drawn to the same kind of couples—those who wanted something more personal, more intimate, and more connected to the natural world. We quickly realised that we could create something truly special together: a seamless elopement experience that strips away the stress and focuses on what really matters — your love, your story, and an unforgettable setting.

You have your official wedding papers arranged back in your home town, be that in the UK, USA, Australia - wherever you live - and then have your elopement ceremony and day with all the words and details that capture you as a couple.

We listen to you and your dreams for your celebration, and then make suggestions. You remain responsible for booking your accommodation and suppliers, but we help you with any arrangements that might be difficult for you. And of course, if you want it to be a surprise, then we are hear to support you and keep it a secret.

We can arrange florists, hair and makeup artists, musicians, guides, transport (helicopter, horse drawn sleigh, paraglider….), spa days, restaurant reservations…. anything you wish.

An elopement can be just the two of you, or it can be part of your family holiday, or ski trip with your mates. It can be on the slopes or in front of the wood fire in your chalet, or on a terrace of your hotel.

And if snow is not your thing, but you love the beauty and clean air of the mountains in summer - with the blue lakes, green pastures and colourful flowers, then we will hike up the mountains with you to have a ceremony on the summit.

Where do we work? Anywhere in the Alps – France, Switzerland, Italy or Austria. We love to discover new places, so we are happy to travel to other resorts too.

At The Alpine Elopement Studio, we craft intimate, deeply, personal elopements set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Alps. From soaring peaks to secluded valleys, we help you find the perfect mountain setting to exchange your vows—whether it’s atop a rugged ridge at sunrise, beside a crystal-clear alpine lake, or in a hidden meadow where nature feels like your only witness.

Our approach is simple: beautifully curated elopements that feel like you. No stress, no expectations—just an experience that feels right for you.

Because your love deserves nothing less than an extraordinary setting and a ceremony that truly reflects it.

‘I would give Lucy six stars if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

★★★★★

‘‘She was an excellent celebrant who from the first meeting made us feel comfortable and listened to. Lucy helped us plan our elopement in Switzerland and maintained a balance of professionalism and friendliness that would be difficult to match. Her knowledge of local vendors was invaluable. The ceremony itself was tailored exactly to our wishes and will be a moment we will never forget. We couldn't have done this without her.’
