Dana and Dylan travelled to Tromsø for a private elopement on St. Patrick’s Day in March 2026. After a hike into the Arctic mountains, they exchanged vows above the snow-covered landscape of Northern Norway, in wind and changing light.


I photographed and filmed the elopement, creating a gallery and a short cinematic highlight film of the same day.
