What others say:

“Marije was so amazing to work with! We traveled to Norway from the US for a small, family wedding. We were a bit nervous about finding someone online, but we could not have asked for a better experience! Marije made the whole experience easy and went above and beyond in every way. She helped us find our ceremony location, brought little extras for us, and helped make us comfortable throughout the entire process. The photos were everything we wanted and more!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our choice of wedding photographer! She has a remarkable ability to capture the most personal and intimate moments. The photos tell the story of the day, making us relive the joy every time we look at them. Highly recommended for any couple looking for genuinely memorable wedding photos!”

Morten and Emma

“Thanks to Marije, we had a wonderful stay and a beautiful gallery of photo’s as memory! We felt so lucky with the opportunity, and would recommend Marije Baan Photography. She is so familiar with the landscapes that she is able to capture them in a beautiful way through the lens. Thanks again, Marije!”

    Norway
    PURE NATURE

    DON`T LIKE THE CROWDS? Don´t worry. Your experience can be even more special by skipping the touristic places and trusting on a local.
    Lofoten and Preikestolen have become very populair due to social media in the last couple of years. But Norway is sooo much more than those locations.

    I live in the mountain area in the inland of Norway. The national parks Rondane, Jotunheimen and  Dovrefjell are all within a fair reach without having to take another plain from Oslo airport. Also Loen, Geiranger and Åndalsnes are locations that are within reach, but these are far more populair.

    I would love to help you DREAM, PLAN and EXPERIENCE your wedding adventure in Norway.

    get to know me

    Hi, my name is Marije Baan. 

    I live in Fåvang, Norway with my husband Gerben and our labrador Miep. We moved from The Netherlands to Norway in 2019, because we really fell in love with this beautiful country.

    I love to go out and explore new locations and roads, so after almost 6 years, I know a lot of hidden gems that I can take you to.

    I don´t consider myself a ´tree-hugging´-person, although I do love to hug a special tree in our forest, when I get the chance. 😉

    more about me

    Is an elopement in Norway something for you?

    “Today the term “elopement” is colloquially used for any marriage performed in haste, with a limited public engagement period or without a public engagement period. Some couples elope because they wish to avoid parental or religious objections.”-wikipedia- 

    In my opinion, an elopement, is much more romantic and pure than described by wikipedia.

    Most people who elope, don´t want to arrange a big day with focus  on a lot of guests or don´t like being the center of attention all day. They would rather spend their money on building memories and creating an amazing day or weekend in nature, while doing everything they love and celebrating their love and life together,  with only their closest loved ones by their side.

    Are you insecure if an elopement is something for you? Don´t hesitate to contact me. I would love to help you find out.

    No strings attached.

    I have a question for you:

    Imagine a PERFECT normal day, from start to finish.

    What do you do, feel, see, experience?

    Are most of those thing included in your weddingday as well?….

    ….just saying

    FAQ

    What´s the upside of an elopement?
    • An adventurous day
    • Comfort over perfection
    • Adventure over traditions
    • Flexibility. Often there are not a lot of vendors involved in your weddingday. This means that there is a possibility to switch the day if the weather looks better on another moment or even another day.
    • No stress, nobody is waiting for you, so we can just take all the time you want
    • Not being in the middle of attention in front of a large group of people
    • No draining day
    • No invitation list stress
    What´s the downside of an elopement
    • No big party
    • No large dinner with beautiful personal speeches
    • Not a princess wedding  like you maybe dreamed about
    • A veil is not practical for elopements
    • Your dress will not stay clean, that´s a promise
    • There are often not many hairdressers or makeup artists to choose from, You might need to do this yourself, or give a wedding guest the task
    • No walking down the aisle

    Can you help us plan our intimate wedding?

    Yes, I love planning and arranging everything for you, so you don´t have to worry about anything. But this is before the wedding day. On the day itself I need to focus on my task as a photographer.

    Can you arrange a special overnight stay for us?

    Yes, I can definately offer you some nice stays, from luxurious to small or back to nature.

    Are you available for a change in dates if the weather asks for it?

    Yes, within plus or minus one day, I am open to switching days if the weathers promises to be very rainy

    In what area do you photograph?

    I live about one hour, north for Lillehammer. My specialty is mostly the Rondane national park, Venabygdsfjellet, Ringebufjellet. But also Jotunheimen and Dovrefjell are possible for me. Don´t hesitate to contact me if you have another dreamlocation though.

    Do you also offer elopements in Northern Norway?

    The first answer is no. I have no experience in photographing elopements in Northern Norway or the Lofoten islands. I think it´s good to be honest about this. It´s doesn´t mean that I am not open for a challenge, so just contact me if you have plans over there and want to chat about the possibilities
