So, you’ve decided to travel to Budapest
and create once-in-a-lifetime memories here.
Congratulations!
You’ve made an incredible choice—Budapest is a city of stunning architecture, romantic streets, and unforgettable views, perfect for saying “I do” or capturing timeless moments.
Whether it’s an intimate elopement, an engagement session with just the two of you, or a small gathering with your closest friends, I’ll be there to document your story. Plus, I can help you with everything you need—hair, makeup, flowers, a celebrant—you name it!
Where should I even start?
Planning an elopement in Budapest might feel overwhelming because…
-
You might not know the most romantic locations or where to find quiet, intimate spots away from the crowds.
-
Language barriers and cultural differences could make it harder to find reliable local vendors, like an officiant, florist, makeup artist, or hairstylist.
-
Coordinating the timeline, transportation, and logistics in an unfamiliar city can be stressful.
-
You may not be aware of seasonal weather conditions, legal requirements, or permits needed for your ceremony.
Your elopement should feel effortless and full of joy—not like a complicated event to organize from miles away.
That’s where I come in.
Meet Your Budapest Elopement Photographer
Hey, nice to meet you. I’m Melania
I live in Budapest, and let me tell you—I’m completely in love with this city. As a local elopement photographer, I know all the iconic spots, hidden gems, and the best times to capture the magic of your elopement day without the crowds.
My style? Light, airy, and full of real moments. Of course, we’ll get the epic cityscape shots, but what truly matters to me is capturing the authentic emotions—the excitement, the quiet glances, the "we actually did this" kind of joy. I want you to feel completely present on your wedding day, soaking in every second, while I document the memories you’ll cherish forever.
A little about me? I’m a fun-loving, slightly sarcastic, always-here-to-hype-you-up kind of person. I know exactly what it feels like to elope—because I did it myself! My husband and I ran away for an intimate ceremony before planning our big wedding, so I truly understand the magic of saying "I do" in a way that feels authentic, effortless, and true to you.
If you’re looking for a local expert, a photographer, and a guide all in one, I’m here to help you craft a Budapest elopement that feels stress-free, romantic, and uniquely yours.
Let’s create something unforgettable in this beautiful city!

Testimonials
We got to know Melania as a highly professional, kind, flexible, and creative photographer, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier with our choice. She captured our wedding this September with truly fantastic photos. She was incredibly well-prepared, precise, patient, and helpful, always guiding us with great posing ideas and making sure we got the most out of every shot. We were completely on the same page throughout the entire day, and it was such a reassuring feeling to know we could trust Melania 100%. We never had to worry for a second. As an extra bonus, she is empathetic, dedicated, and truly passionate about what she does—and it shows in every moment she captures. Thank you so much!
- Eszter & Krisztian
Nia was our photographer for both our wedding and engagement session, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
She is an incredibly professional photographer, but beyond the beautiful photos, we also got to know her as a wonderful person. After our engagement session, meeting her again on our wedding day felt like reconnecting with a lifelong friend. She does everything to make even the most camera-shy couples feel comfortable and relaxed. She is creative, kind, and attentive, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone!
- Dorottya & Dani
I've known Melania for a long time, and she had already taken photos of me/us on different occasions before. From the moment she did our very first photoshoot, I knew that if we ever got married, she would be the only photographer I’d want to capture our wedding day. So when it was time to start planning, she was the first vendor I reached out to. Melania is patient, kind, and endlessly creative, always full of ideas, and works beautifully and efficiently. She also photographed our engagement session and wedding, and I have no doubt that if I ever need stunning photos in the future—no matter the occasion—she will be the one I turn to.
