Charlie & Jess’ Lofoten Midnight Sun Elopement
If you’ve ever dreamed of saying your vows surrounded by dramatic mountains and the endless glow of the midnight sun, Charlie & Jess’s Lofoten elopement will inspire you. This adventure-filled day started with a scenic hike to one of my favourite secluded viewpoints and ended with dancing under the golden light of the Arctic summer night.
Why Lofoten is Perfect for a Midnight Sun Elopement
Lofoten, Norway is one of the most unique places on earth to elope. From late May to mid-July, the midnight sun paints the sky in soft pinks, warm oranges, and glowing golds, giving couples hours of perfect light for their elopement photos. The quiet trails, breathtaking mountains, and peaceful beaches make this archipelago an unforgettable backdrop for adventurous love stories.
For Charlie & Jess, traveling all the way to Northern Norway for their wedding day was about creating an experience they would never forget. No tight timelines, no pressure…just the two of them exploring nature and promising forever together.
The Hike & Ceremony
We began their Lofoten elopement with a hike up to a mountain overlooking one of the most beautiful fjords in the area. The soft Arctic light lit up the peaks around us and reflected on the calm water below. Charlie & Jess shared private vows as the sun hovered low in the sky, creating a magical glow you can only experience this far north.
Sunset Turns Into Sunrise
One of the most incredible things about a midnight sun elopement is that the light never truly disappears. After their ceremony, we explored more hidden spots, stopping to soak in the views and capture quiet moments of just the two of them together. The warm colors of the midnight sun followed us the entire evening, shifting from gold to blush pink.
Dancing Under the Midnight Sun
As the night grew later, Charlie & Jess shared their first dance on the mountain plateau with the ocean behind them. There was no rush, no audience, just laughter, happy tears, and the soft sound of the wind. These moments are why I love capturing elopements in Lofoten. They are deeply personal, beautifully simple, and full of raw emotion.
