Destination elopement & intimate wedding
For couples who dream of getting married abroad
Destination elopement & intimate wedding photographer
Sometimes,
it all starts with
a dream
When saying “I do” takes you on an adventure
A country you promise yourself you will return to one day. A landscape that thrills you just thinking about it. An island you have wanted to discover for a long time. And then the desire to turn your intimate wedding into a trip… and that trip into an unforgettable experience.
A destination elopement means choosing to experience your union as a true adventure. An epic moment, yes, but above all simple, intimate, and surprisingly accessible.

Without turning your elopement into a complicated project
Our role is to assist you every step of the way. We are here to help you turn your dreams into a smooth, seamless day that reflects who you both are. And we’ll be there to photograph every moment!
We think of every detail to ensure your day runs smoothly. But also to capture images that are true, sensitive, and faithful to what you are experiencing.
Advice based on experience
Makes all the difference
Having a destination intimate wedding or elopement inevitably raises a number of questions. The distance, the logistics, the decisions to be made without always knowing the location… it’s normal to feel a little lost at first.
Thanks to our extensive experience of travelling and photographing intimate weddings and elopements in Quebec, the rest of Canada and abroad, we know how to deal with the practicalities. We observe, anticipate and adapt. Most importantly, we provide practical and realistic advice based on our own experiences, enabling you to plan with confidence.
It’s like going on an adventure with friends…
It’s that simple!
Love is Nord is a real-life couple of photographers who will guide you through your project. We understand each other perfectly, instinctively complement each other’s work, and will move forward in the same direction as you.
The vibe is different with four people. It’s lighter. It’s more authentic. No one feels left out or behind. It’s like going on an adventure with a couple of good friends. The kind of friends with whom everything feels simple and natural. The kind of friends with whom you never have to wonder what to do or how to act.
And while you enjoy yourselves, we’re there to observe, feel, and capture everything that happens… so that your photos tell the exact story of what you experienced on this adventure.
No cookie-cutter
We won’t just take you where everyone else goes. We take the time to understand what makes you tick and what truly reflects who you are. Then, we guide you towards choices that are right for you. There are no cookie-cutter solutions. Above all, we never lose our sense of wonder.
Experience, without the hassle
From finding the best photo spots and recommending vendors to travelling with equipment and dealing with the weather, local conditions, permits and unforeseen events, we know it all. Above all, however, we know how to make the experience enjoyable and personal. You don’t have to worry about logistics. You’re there to experience extraordinary moments.
Here with you
We don’t just help you plan or photograph your wedding. We experience it with you. We are sincere, attentive and relaxed. Many of our couples have said that it was like going on an adventure with friends who knew exactly how to ensure that everything ran smoothly on their wedding day.
About Love is Nord
Elopement Photographers & Planners
We are Patrick & Josée, a husband & wife team of photographers
We are there for couples who dream of exchanging vows in a unique location, whether that be somewhere in Canada or on the other side of the globe. We know how to find the perfect location, plan the day’s schedule and capture your special moments, wherever you choose to celebrate.
Love is Nord helped us define the style of wedding we wanted, even suggesting the idea of getting married abroad. Why not? It only happens once in a lifetime, and it was a magical experience!
In the months leading up to the event, they supported us with the planning, choosing the location, and finding vendors. Once on site, they scouted the location to suggest spectacular photo spots.
Patrick and Josée are very pleasant to be around. They are funny, yet discreet and professional, and we quickly hit it off. You quickly forget they are there, which means you can fully enjoy the moment.
We had high expectations for the final result, and they were truly exceeded. Magnificent photos, dreamlike landscapes, bursts of laughter, and completely natural intimate moments—a big WOW.
Carefully curated locations
Where do you dream of saying “I do”?
A destination elopement isn’t just about posing in front of a beautiful postcard view. It’s about choosing a location that suits your day, taking into account your pace, the light, access… and above all, the experience you really want to have.
Thanks to our travels and the intimate weddings and elopements we have photographed in Quebec, Canada, and internationally, we have developed a very concrete view of what makes a location special:
We know what to observe.
What to check.
And what to anticipate.
The best moments of light.
The quietest environments.
The constraints to anticipate and the opportunities that aren’t always obvious at first glance.
We provide guidance through realistic advice, drawing on our own experience.
We have explored and experienced some locations firsthand. We dream of discovering others after spending a long time scouting, studying and assessing them for elopements and intimate weddings. Either way, we never suggest a place at random. Each location is carefully chosen because it is meaningful to you and what you will experience there.
In Canada and internationally
Throughout our travels and the intimate weddings and elopements we have photographed, we have set down our bags in very different places, each with its own unique energy.
We remember with joy:
And we’ve got our bucket list too!
Places that call our names…
And what about the wedding ceremony?
Is it possible to get legally married abroad?
Of course! In several countries, it is possible to get legally married even if you do not live there, but this is not the case everywhere, and some destinations impose specific conditions.
For many couples, the simplest solution is often to combine a legal wedding where they live with a symbolic ceremony at their destination. Since one of us (Josée) is a wedding officiant, we can create a tailor-made ceremony just for you, true to your story and your emotions.
Whatever you choose, whether it’s a legal wedding abroad or a symbolic ceremony, we are here to advise you and guide you towards the option that best suits your plans, so that your day unfolds naturally and remains truly memorable.
