A little
less ordinary.

01 / INTIMATE WEDDINGS IN THE ALPS PHOTOGRAPHY BY REUBEN SHAUL

No big production. No expectations to live up to. Just the two of you, and somewhere extraordinary.

Whether you exchange vows high above Chamonix, wander through a quiet alpine valley, or share a glass of wine in town afterwards, the day can be entirely your own. I'll be there to document it naturally, and help you make the most of this beautiful part of the world.

01 — THE EXPERIENCEYOUR DAY, YOUR WAY

The best moments
aren't planned down to the minute.

An elopement isn't about doing less. It's about making room for what matters.

There is time to take in the view, to laugh, to be nervous, to change your plans if the clouds roll in. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive: real moments, beautiful light, and photographs that feel like you.

02 — MOMENTS IN THE MOUNTAINS

Not a photoshoot.
A day to remember.

A few frames from the kind of days I love to photograph. The landscape is spectacular, but the small moments matter just as much.

Beautiful photographs are the result. Actually enjoying the day is the point.

03 — THE PRACTICAL SIDE

Let's make it simple.

You don't need to know Chamonix to get married here. I live in the French Alps and can help you figure out the places, timing and little details that make a big difference.

01

Find your place.

A dramatic viewpoint, an alpine lake, or somewhere quieter and more secluded. We'll choose a setting that suits you, the season and the accessibility you want.

02

Plan around the mountains.

Cable cars, changing weather, snow at altitude and the best light all shape the day. I'll help you build a relaxed plan, with room to be flexible.

03

Enjoy it. I'll document it.

From getting ready to the vows and everything afterwards, I'll photograph things as they unfold, with gentle direction only when it's helpful.

05 — GOOD TO KNOW

A few questions.

Do we need to know where we want to elope?

Not at all. Tell me what kind of landscape you love and how adventurous you'd like the day to be. I can suggest places around Chamonix that fit.

What if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Mountain weather can change quickly. We'll plan with flexibility in mind, and the elopement package includes a backup day, subject to availability and the arrangements we agree on.

Can we elope in Chamonix in May?

Yes, but the mountains are still transitioning from winter to summer. Many higher trails remain snowy and several lifts close between seasons. We'll choose a realistic location based on the dates.

Do you also photograph small groups or guests?

Yes. An elopement can be just the two of you or include a handful of people you love. Tell me what you have in mind.
