Planning an elopement prior to hiring away Up High was overwhelming and difficult when it came to looking up the countries and also figuring out which countries really matched with our dream location. Once hiring them everything became so much more relaxed and took a ton of stress and work off our hands. Thijsiena simply asked what we loved, enjoyed and imagined during our elopement. Then she provided us with six beautiful and breath taking options. Many which my wife and I would have never thought of or imagined. For every country that she provided she had detailed list of scenery opportunities, popular food , weather, accommodation options and how each country was connected to our wish list. The experience was absolutely perfect. Thijsiena is the most amazing, friendly, down to earth and perfect elopement photographer /planner that you can ask for. She is that long time friend that you never knew you had.

Thijsiena is easy to talk to and has so much knowledge and insight about traveling and ideas for photos during your time together. We decided on our elopement being in Norway and Thijsiena found numerous photo locations for us and found spots that we would not have discovered. We did not have perfect weather in Norway but Thijsiena had several back up plans/ ideas, photo locations ready to go, which made the weather not even be an issue as the photos and elopement process exceeded our expectations. For anyone that may be hesitant on choosing Way up high and Thijsiena for their elopement plans, just know that with them you are in perfect hands. They provide a service that is top tier. From providing suggestions on what you need to pack, to being able to have plan B and C ready if needed. You will be taken care of and your elopement will be the perfect dream come true that you and your partner imagined.

My wife and I are not a traditional couple so when we decided to get married, we knew a traditional wedding wasn't right for us. We wanted to celebrate our love and commitment to one another without all the stress that comes along with planning a wedding. We decided on an elopment but had no idea where to start. When we found Thijsiena at Way Up High Elopements we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. From day one she took the time to get to know us and find out what our perfect day would look like. She took away all the stress of planning but kept us involved every step of the way. When our elopement day finally arrived, the biggest worry we had was about being in front of a camera but she made us feel so comfortable. She captured our love better than we could've ever hoped for. And she was so much fun to spend the day with! If you're considering an elopement, look no further than Way Up High Elopements. We genuinely had the best day of our lives and would do it all over again if we could.

Eloping with Way Up High was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From every little detail in understanding the location and logistics, to providing endless options to choose from in planning the day itself, we could not have put together such an amazing trip without her help. Even after we parted ways following the big day, Thijsiena’s notes and suggestions about the region helped us in continuing to fully enjoy our trip and little honeymoon to the fullest extent. Working with her was incredibly easy and at the end of it all we felt more like her great friends than clients. Not to mention the stunningly beautiful photography that we will have with us forever to remember such a magical day!

Is that really possible? A wedding just the two of you and without any stress?
Yes, it really is and with Wayuphigh this day became even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.

Of course, at first we were unsure if we really wanted to spend our wedding day without our loved ones. And how the reactions of the families and friends would be afterwards.
However, we summed up our courage and trusted our gut.
We decided to go for the elopement with Wayuphigh - and we didn't regret it for a second. 😊
From the moment we booked, Thijsiena helped us plan our day. She took into account our personal wishes, brought in ideas and always made sure that the day would be exactly as we wanted it.

She also took away any uncertainties we had by developing a plan B for almost every eventuality, creating checklists and always having an open ear for us.
The day itself was really perfect, a relaxed day where we could really just focus on us. And the photos taken that day are very special and truly magical. Thijsiena has an incredible talent for capturing the special moments without making them look posed. This was also very important to us.
And all of our loved ones have said to us afterwards "You did it just right!"- and we think so too. We could not have wished it any other way.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable time and for the beautiful photos that will forever remind us of this day.

Jon and I had a shoot with Thijsiena at a beautiful west coast beach in Auckland, New Zealand. We were so delighted with the photos and especially loved the images of us in our wedding attire in the ocean. The colours and composition were out of this world and we will treasure the images forever. Thank you for capturing such special moments for us ❤️

We were very excited at our photoshoot with Way up High elopemnts as both of us had seen pictures done by them before and we loved them. We felt very comfortable whilst on the shoot with Thijsiena. When we received our photos back both of us were blown away! They are as beautiful as we had hoped, they captured our lovely mountain and the earth around us along with our love for each other. We couldn't recommend Way up High enough. Thank you so much!
