Destination &
Europe Elopements
Worldwide Photography & Celebrant Packages
Destination elopement packages for couples dreaming of an intimate wedding anywhere in the world.
Some love stories deserve a little adventure.
We're Emily and Izzy, photographer and celebrant, and the team behind Lovefool Elopements. We've spent years working alongside each other at weddings and elopements, and somewhere along the way we got pretty good at reading a room, reading each other, and making the whole thing feel exceptionally easy for couples getting married.
A destination elopement is choosing a sun-drenched terrace in Puglia over a function centre. A hidden laneway in Rome over a reception hall. A quiet coastline or a historic European town because that's where your story belongs.
Your legal ceremony happens in Australia before you leave, all the paperwork sorted and lodged. Then we come to you. You just show up, get married somewhere beautiful, and let us handle the rest.
Dreaming of Europe, Asia, or somewhere else entirely? We'd love to be there.

This package is designed to be simple and flexible. The timeline is completely up to you — whether you’d like something quick and relaxed or a little more time to wander, celebrate and take it all in. You choose the location and the feel of the moment, and we’ll help shape the timing around what matters most to you. We can guide you on the best time of day based on the light, the setting, and the kind of atmosphere you’re hoping for, so everything flows naturally and never feels rushed. The result is a ceremony that feels easy, personal and truly yours.

Your elopement team
Celebrant
Izzy | Hitched by HazellIzzy from Hitched by Hazell will be your authorised marriage celebrant and key point of contact in the lead up and on the day of your elopement. She’ll guide you through the process for getting legally married in Australia before your destination ceremony, offer guidance on writing your vows, deliver a gorgeous ceremony and play host for any guests attending (she’ll even pour them a cheeky glass of champagne while Emily whisks you away to take your portraits)
Emily from Solis Stories will be your eyes behind the lens. Her style blends documentary grit with editorial polish, and she works with intention, hustle, and heart to capture photos that feel. She's all about getting stuck in, reading the room, and making sure you get images that are as bold, beautiful, and honest as your day deserves.

Kind words from our destination couples
"We honestly can't imagine having done our wedding any other way."
We couldn’t recommend Lovefool highly enough. Our wedding was a truly special journey, beginning with our intimate legal ceremony at Lake Macquarie with our parents, and continuing a month later with our elopement in the South of France with just the two of us and the Lovefool team.
From the very beginning, Em and Izzy made us feel completely comfortable and genuinely cared about our story and what we wanted our day to be. Having them with us in France made the entire experience feel effortless, relaxed and deeply personal. Em captured our day in a way that felt so real and so us.
The photos aren’t just stunning, they bring back every emotion and every little moment, and we know we’ll treasure them forever. Izzy crafted a ceremony that was heartfelt, meaningful and it felt completely aligned with who we are and our relationship. And Rhys was incredible, playing beautiful acoustic covers throughout the day that added so much atmosphere and emotion. His music made an already unforgettable day feel even more special.
We feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have had the Lovefool team be such an important part of our wedding journey. They didn’t just capture our day, they helped create memories we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives. And beyond that, we truly feel like we’ve gained friendships for a lifetime.
Jordan, Provence
The team at lovefool were absolutely amazing! They made the whole process so easy, relaxing and calm. If I could get married every year, I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and again!!!
They weren’t just the vendors on our day they were apart of it
Olivia, France
My wife and I had the most amazing and intimate elopement in the south of France, and the girls at lovefool absolutely smashed it! Turned our spur of the moment idea into a love story
Cant say enough about them, the effort Izzy and Emily went into for our day, and the timeless photos and memories they captured and help create our dream.
If I can give any advice it is to travel and elope! And take lovefool with you!!
Logan, France
If you're dreaming of a destination elopement because you want your wedding to feel like an adventure rather than an event, these two are everything you could hope for. They don't just photograph and officiate your wedding, they become part of the experience in the best possible way.
France will always hold a special place in our hearts, but honestly, so will Emily and Izzy.
Thank you for giving us a day that felt completely effortless, deeply personal and unforgettable. We'd choose you a thousand times over.
Hannah, Provence
