Jaakko Perälä | Nordic Elopement Photographer

I'm Jaakko—adventurer, outdoor enthusiast, husband, father, in love with the wild north. I shoot elopements for people who want to honour their love through a meaningful experience and memories that last for a lifetime.

If you’re like me, a big wedding isn’t for you. Not if you really think about it. And I want you to be brave enough to say no to it. Because I wish my wife and I had been. And I'll be there to capture it all.

I offer elopements at select locations in Northern Europe on set dates throughout the year as full-day or multi-day experiences.

I'll announce my new destinations first to my mailing list and two days after that to Instagram. To ensure your experience will be the best possible, every elopement destination will have limited availability between 1 - 2 elopement experiences.
