ABOUT US
WHY IS BON VOYAGE CREATED?
After years of being a traditional wedding photographer, I've seen so many couples miserable, treating their wedding day - a day that is supposed to be the most MEANINGFUL, EXCITING, LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE - as some kind of a formality that should be crossed-off the list...
...and that broke my heart because you only get to marry the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE once!
And all that because they didn't know there is another way...
...way that is so much more LIBERATING, FULFILLING and EXCITING! That's why I am thrilled to have created a brand that celebrates THE POWER OF INDIVIDUALITY and help couples express themselves! Now more than ever - it is important to nurture your uniqueness, and your quirkiness and not be afraid to show the world YOUR TRUE COLORS!
Intimate Weddings For Couples Who Want Something Different!
I know this opinion will ruffle some feathers especially among older population but let's be honest, whats sounds better to you?
a) Taking THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON in your life by the hand, exploring that dream country you have always fantasized about, having a relaxing, romantic ceremony for just the two of you (and your dog, of course) and spending your wedding day just soaking in the moment and celebrating each other love
or
b) Inviting 300 people to a wedding, most of whom you haven't heard from in years, stressing about the accommodation, table arrangements, catering to everyone ease's needs, and spending your wedding day politely greeting all the guests when, in fact, all you want to do is BE WITH YOUR SOULMATE!
YEAH I VOTE ELOPEMENTS!
Love is a life-altering frequency and it must be honored in the most authentic way possible
I feel you! You were never into the latest gadgest, fancy clothes and material possessions. While other’s were out there chasing the “things” you were right on the other end chasing the experiences! The same goes with your wedding day - you don’t get a kick out big venues and fancy attire - you get a kick out of exploring distant locations and creating unforgettable memories! You are all about the joy, the passion, the adventure - and you deserve to honor those beautiful feelings - especially when it comes to marrying the love of your life!

How Our Couples Feel About Working With Us...
"I had about 3 months to organize the wedding, and I reserved everything except for the photographer. I thought I wouldn’t manage to find one, so I joined a wedding group and came across her post. As soon as I saw the description of how they take relaxed, spontaneous photos, I knew it was the right fit. I was just keeping my fingers crossed that they had an available date, and luckily, it worked out for us. We can only say wonderful things about this young woman—her approach, communication, and work… you enchanted us all.
Her willingness to help was incredible, and nothing was a problem for her. Even when some unexpected situations arose, Matea handled everything professionally and found solutions for all of them. I highly recommend her because this woman has it all. Excellent work and a lovely person. Thank you once again for being with us on one of the most important days of our lives ❤️"
Ivana
Thanks to the photographer, we have beautiful pictures from the wedding, even though we are not ones for posing and staging. In fact, what started as a "formality" turned into a fantastic party full of laughter, resulting in the natural photos we wanted. Matea is excellent, creative, professional, relaxed, and handled every situation wonderfully.
She put in a lot of effort, taking photos the whole time, all in a very unobtrusive way. I would definitely recommend her, from coordinating the details to executing them, and the quick delivery of the photos... we are extremely satisfied.
We have beautiful "posed" pictures that are actually spontaneous, as well as genuine candid shots that capture the atmosphere of the day... what more can I say than a big THANK YOU!

YOUR ELOPEMENT
IS A REFLECTION
OF YOU!
This couple had a whole different story - they were totally stuck on where to go. They kept telling me how much they loved the seaside, so I started digging...
and after a couple of days of research, I found this gorgeous island that looked straight out of a postcard... with crystal clear water and sandy beaches - IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
They spent the whole day exploring the Island and finished the day with a romantic dinner in a local fish restaurant!
YOU DREAM WE DELIVER
Why To Elope
Elopement ceremonies are just so genuine and heartfelt! It’s hard to put into words all the emotions swirling around—traveling across the globe, being in the middle of an adventure and marrying the love of your life! When you mix all that together, you get the most EXCITING WEDDING DAY ever! There’s no fuss or prying eyes, just the two of you and an incredible EXPERIENCE you'll cherish for the rest of your lives!
01 Intimate & Romantic
Due to the fact that elopements are much smaller in size - with fewer guests to accommodate, you can splurge on the experiences that will actually bring you JOY! Couples often invest in hot air balloon ride, kayaking, helicopter rides etc.because that's how your wedding day should feel like - FUN, EXCITING and MEMORABLE!
02 Lower Expenses & Cortisol Levels
Exploring the world is a lot like exploring the LOVE BETWEEN TWO SOULS! Just like traveling to new places opens up surprises and hidden gems, getting to know someone on a deeper level reveals all sorts of layers and quirks - both journeys require curiosity, a bit of bravery, and a willingness to embrace the unknown!

Croatia Elopements F&Q
AND DESTINATION ELOPEMENTS
Croatia offers a variety of scenery for your destination elopement. If you wish to elope by the sea you're in for a treat, as Croatia's coastline stretches approximately 6,000 km, providing plenty of options. One of the most beautiful Island are Hvar, Brač, Vis and Cres. However, if you prefer the mountains, you'll be pleased to know that Croatia has 144 mountain peaks, all reaching up to 2,000 meters in height, making them perfect for easy trails and enjoyment.
Croatia has a diverse climate, making it suitable for elopement throughout the year! In the coastal area along the Adriatic Sea, temperatures even in winter do not drop below -5 degrees! Since Croatia is a tourist destination, if you plan your destination wedding during the summer, you will need to look for locations without many tourists - but given that Croatia has 78 islands and 524 islets, I believe we won’t have any problems with that!
Definitely not! Croatia might be a small country with just 3.5 million people, but it's seriously one of the most stunning spots in the Mediterranean. With its crystal-clear waters, charming coastal towns, and breathtaking national parks, it’s no wonder that it’s been attracting so many visitors. In fact, in 2024, a whopping 21.3 million tourists flocked to Croatia from all over the globe! From lounging on the beautiful beaches to exploring historic sites like Dubrovnik, there's so much to see and do. It’s like a hidden gem that everyone is finally discovering!
Destination elopement is a small wedding where the bride and groom choose to hold their ceremony in a foreign country. Couples often travel alone or with their closest family and friends... instead of having a big traditional wedding, they opt for a smaller, more adventurous wedding option!
Definitely not—destination elopements are not exclusive, nor do you need to be a year-round traveler to choose one! So don't worry. If you're not accustomed to traveling, we will provide you with all the necessary assistance regarding travel safety and packing recommendations.
That definitely depends on your planned activities, if you stacked your wedding day with many activities and your itinerary is jam packed with different locations you're planning to visit, then it might take around 12 hours sometimes even 2 days - but it's totally up to you and your vision.
