elopement experiences by seiji mori studio
for couples who want their wedding to feel like an adventure
Laugh, cry, dance in the wind, or do none of those things. There’s no performance to put on and no version of yourselves you need to become for the camera.
Just a wedding day that feels like yours, in a place worth travelling for.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO START
You might have a date but no destination.
A destination but no idea where to actually go.
A folder full of beautiful places but no idea which ones make sense in real life.
Or perhaps you simply know that you don't want a traditional wedding, but haven't figured out what you want instead.
That's normal.
Most couples don't arrive with a finished plan. They arrive with a feeling, a few ideas, and a lot of open tabs.
We don’t just document elopements.
We help you shape the entire experience.
Vowhalla is the destination elopement photography and filmmaking branch of Seiji Mori Studio, based in France and working across Europe, Morocco, and Asia.
We guide couples through both the creative and practical sides of planning so the experience feels natural, intentional, and unhurried.
No pressure. No performance. No unnecessary complexity.
Just a wedding day designed around how it should feel.
NOT EVERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE MAKES A GOOD ELOPEMENT
Some places look incredible in photographs and are completely impractical in real life.
Some are too crowded. Some are difficult to reach. Some are beautiful for thirty minutes but not somewhere you would actually want to spend your wedding day.
We look for places with more than a good view.
A sense of place. A certain atmosphere. Room to move. Time to actually experience where you are.
Because the location is not just a backdrop.
It becomes part of the story.
WHERE WE WORK
We’re based in France and work across Europe, Morocco and selected destinations in Asia.
Not every destination is right for every couple, every season or every kind of experience. We help you find the places that make sense for the day you actually want to have.
EUROPE
The Alps, the Dolomites, Iceland, Scotland, Lake Como and beyond.
MOROCCO
Desert landscapes, ancient cities and multi-day experiences shaped around slow travel.
ASIA
Selected destinations including Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and Hong Kong, depending on the season and the experience you want to create.
FROM THE FIRST IDEA TO THE LAST FRAME
An elopement rarely starts with a perfectly formed plan.
Sometimes it begins with a place you've always wanted to see. Sometimes with a vague idea, a date, or simply the feeling that you want to do something different.
From there, we help shape the pieces that matter — the setting, the rhythm of the day, and the moments you want to make space for.
Then, when the day arrives, we are there to photograph and film it as it happens.
Not to direct every moment.
Just to help you make the most of the day you've chosen, and preserve it in a way that still feels like you.
Kind words from our Couples
Honest moments, real emotions, and experiences shared by the couples we’ve had the honor to capture.
NUTCHAYA & KANE — AUSTRALIA
“Love their dedication, style, and simply everything about them. I almost gave up trying to find a photographer for my elopement in Europe until I came across Seiji Mori Studio, and who would have thought I would end up with 2 photographers instead of 1! Clovis and Theeda were patient with our needs and helped organise everything from flowers to cake from local vendors. Besides this, Theeda is the master of weather prediction. We were worried about the evening being too cold, wet and foggy after several days of rains. However, we trust Theeda, ended up getting married on our plan B day, and it couldn't be more perfect. Thank you for making our fairytale elopement come true ♥️”
MEGHAN & DAVID — USA
“My husband and I worked with Clovis & Theeda for our vow renewal in Lyon, and I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about them. From our very first interaction, their communication was thoughtful, warm, and professional. Planning something so personal from another country could have easily felt stressful, but they made the entire experience feel effortless and comfortable from beginning to end.
What stood out most to us was not only their incredible talent, but also their presence as people. Since our vow renewal was intentionally very intimate, just the two of us with them, the dynamic could have felt awkward or overly staged with the wrong photographers. Instead, they brought such warmth, calmness, flexibility, and ease to the experience that it honestly felt like spending time with people who genuinely cared about helping us create a meaningful memory together.
If you are considering working with them, do it! Beyond being extraordinarily talented photographers, they create an experience that feels personal, intentional, and deeply human. We will treasure these photos forever.!”
ONE TEAM. TWO WAYS OF REMEMBERING IT.
Clovis films.
Theeda photographs.
We work together throughout the day, so the photographs and film come from the same experience rather than two separate productions happening around you.
You won't have to explain your story twice, coordinate two creative teams, or wonder whether the photographs and film will feel like they belong together.
It's just the two of us, paying attention to the same things.
How it works
1 — TELL US WHAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT
A date, a destination, a vague idea, or simply a feeling. You don't need to have everything figured out.
2 — WE TALK
We check availability, answer your questions and get a sense of what you want the day to be.
3 — WE MAKE A PLAN
After booking, we begin shaping the location, timing and details around the experience you want to have.
4 — YOU GET MARRIED
We photograph and film the day. You get to be there for it !
INVESTMENT
Photography and film collections begin at €5,000.
For a full elopement experience in Europe, most couples invest between €7,000 and €8,500, depending on the location, travel and coverage.
Every proposal is created around the experience you want to have — not pulled from a fixed package list.
Who WE ARE
We’re Clovis & Theeda — partners in life and behind the camera.
Clovis is French. Theeda is Thai. We met, built a life together, moved to France, and eventually built a creative life around the things we both love: photography, film, travel and paying attention to the world around us.
Vowhalla grew from that.
We work together because we genuinely like working together. We notice different things, see places differently, and somehow end up making one body of work from it.
We're not the loudest people in the room. We don't need to be.
We prefer to pay attention — to the way a place feels, to the small moments between the big ones, and to the things people do when they forget there is a camera nearby.
That's the kind of work we want to make.
FAQ
WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. CAN YOU STILL PHOTOGRAPH US?
Yes. Most people aren't.
You don't need to know what to do with your hands or perform for the camera. We give direction when it helps, but we don't turn the day into a photoshoot.
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WANT TO ELOPE.
That's fine. You don't need to arrive with a destination already chosen.
WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT WEATHER.
Weather is part of planning an outdoor wedding. We look at the season, conditions and alternatives so you are not making every decision based on a single weather forecast.
