Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by dramatic fjords, snow-capped mountains, and misty waterfalls—a scene that feels like stepping straight into a storybook. Although we’re currently based in Australia, we’re excited to share that we plan to move to Norway within the next few years (yes we love Norway that much!)
As a Norway elopement photographer and videographer—who chose to elope in Norway ourselves (because who wouldn’t?!)—we’re dedicated to helping you create a one-of-a-kind experience in one of the most enchanting destinations on earth!
Why Choose Norway for Your Elopement?
Discover the Enchanting Beauty and Unique Experiences Norway Offers
From the midnight sun in summer to the dancing northern lights in winter, Norway offers awe-inspiring backdrops for any love story. Driving through Norway, you’ll be amazed by its endless beauty. One of our favourite things about Norway is the freedom to roam, which allows you to hike any mountain you see. And if hiking isn’t for you, there’s breathtaking scenery to enjoy right from the car park! The endless untouched beauty is exactly why we chose to elope here ourselves—just the two of us, celebrating in a place that could only be described as a fairytale. Our own experience of eloping in Norway deepened our passion for helping couples bring their unique visions to life in this beautiful landscape!

What to Consider When Eloping in Norway
Legal vs. symbolic ceremonies
When planning your elopement in Norway, it’s essential to understand the difference between legal and symbolic ceremonies. A legal ceremony requires specific documentation and adherence to local laws, while a symbolic ceremony allows you to celebrate your love without the legalities. If you’re interested in the legal requirements for getting married in Norway, we recommend checking out our detailed guide on this topic [here]. This way, you can ensure that your special day is not only memorable but also compliant with Norwegian regulations, allowing you to focus on the magic of your elopement experience!
Just for reference, the majority of our couples choose to do the legalities on a different day and just have a symbolic ceremony. This is a lot simpler, plus it means you have more flexibility in your timeline.
Best Time of Year to Elope in Norway
What You Need to Know About Weather and Seasons in Norway
Norway’s weather changes dramatically with the seasons, and each one offers its own magic. Here’s an overview to help you decide when might be the perfect time for your Norway elopement:
- Winter (December – February): Think cozy, snow-filled backdrops, perfect for intimate elopements and capturing the northern lights. Winter in Norway offers deep blues and ethereal light, but it does bring colder temperatures and limited daylight, especially the more north you go!
- Spring (March – May): In spring, the days start to lengthen, and you’ll see new greenery and blooming wildflowers. This is a great time for a quieter elopement experience with milder temperatures and the occasional snow-capped mountain view.
- Summer (June – August): Summer in Norway is vibrant and full of life, with the midnight sun providing endless daylight. This is an ideal season for couples who want to explore, hike, or elope in Norway’s iconic fjords and mountains. Although summer is peak season, we eloped in July in Lofoten and had the whole area to ourselves! There are so many gorgeous hidden gems to find!
- Autumn (September – November): Fall brings breathtaking foliage, dramatic skies, and fewer tourists. For a cozy, romantic feel, this season offers Norway’s landscapes at their most colourful and is an incredible choice for a memorable elopement experience. For peak fall colours, head to Lofoten in October. You can also catch a glimpse of snow if you head there in November while still having more daylight!

Top Locations to Elope in Norway
From the iconic fjords to lesser-known spots that feel like well-kept secrets, Norway is brimming with enchanting locations for elopements. A few standout spots include:
- Lofoten Islands: With jagged peaks rising dramatically from the sea and charming fishing villages dotting the landscape, the Lofoten Islands provide a surreal setting for a coastal elopement. Often referred to as the “Hawaii of the North,” Lofoten boasts stunning beaches and fjords just waiting to be explored!
- Geirangerfjord: Known for its deep blue waters and impressive waterfalls, Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a beautiful option for couples wanting a fjord backdrop.
- Trolltunga: This iconic rock formation presents an epic view over the lake below, making it an ideal location for adventurous couples in search of a truly unique elopement spot. Keep in mind that Trolltunga is a popular tourist destination, so choose your time of day carefully to capture the best experience!
- Hardangerfjord: Especially stunning in spring when the fruit trees bloom, Hardangerfjord has a dreamy, romantic feel with a mix of green landscapes and snowy peaks.
