ELOPE IN CABO VERDE

A Wild & Romantic Elopement for the Adventure Seekers 

Why Cabo Verde?

Maybe…you’re just not that interested in the usual.

You're not flying to Mexico, Greece, or the Bahamas for your wedding because you’re not following trends—you’re doing what’s authentic to you.

Cabo Verde is for the couple who wants their elopement to feel as bold and rare as they are.

Imagine:
– Swimming in the black sand beaches of Santo Antao
– Island-hopping to remote corners of Fogo
– Eating freshly grilled fish under a sky full of stars in Sal
– Four-wheeling the dunes of Boa Vista

Cabo Verde isn’t for everyone. But if you’re looking for something wild, soulful, and real, you might have just found your place.

Meet Cabo Verde’s Only Elopement Planner & Photographer

Not many people can say they’ve traveled to every Island of Cabo Verde. 

I CAN!!!

Hi, I'm Ronise—your Cabo Verde guru and local insider.

I was born in Cabo Verde but raised between the islands and the U.S.

If you are looking for someone who speaks the language, understands the culture, and knows how to move around the island, then I’m your girl!

You can also consider me your expert in all things elopement.

I listen to my couples, and I will curate a day that fits exactly how you’ve envisioned it.

Hey Adventure Seekers,

Hey Adventure Seekers,

All adventures are customizable.
Let’s build something just for you.

Here’s what your Cabo Verde elopement might include:

  • Take a catamaran to a deserted island

  • Island-hop across turquoise waters

  • Hike remote volcanic trails

  • Dance to live morna in the streets

  • Savor ultra-fresh local seafood

  • Have a private Creole band perform for just you two

  • Swim in hidden coves and secret lagoons

  • Watch the sunset over black sand beaches

I’m not just a photographer;

I’m your guide in capturing and planning your perfect adventure elopement.

Want to know more about Cabo Verde?

Cabo Verde is a 10-island archipelago off the West Coast of Africa.

Each island offers its own unique charm and personality, perfect for every couple’s style.


You’ll find plenty online about Cabo Verde’s warm hospitality and rich culture, but it’s something you have to experience for yourself. It’s a magical place.

Much of Cabo Verde feels like stepping back in time. Things still run on word of mouth, and Wi-Fi isn't available everywhere. It's remote, untouched, and feels like a secret you’ll want to share—but also keep all to yourself.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? 

You may find your answers here.

  • I’m based in Lisbon most of the year, which is just a 3-4 hour flight to Cabo Verde.

  • I’m a resident of both the US and Portugal (check my ‘about me’ section for the story). This allows me to give my couples from both ends of the world plenty of options.  I accent payments through a cc payment link, Venmo, PayPal, MBWay, or EU/US bank transfers. Whatever works for you.

  • Not at all! I’ll capture key moments, candid shots, and beautiful portraits, but I’ll also give you space to enjoy the day. You’ll get plenty of time to just be in the moment.

  • Most of the time, I’ll encourage you to embrace the weather—unless it’s truly unfavorable. I only book one elopement per week, so if needed, we can shift your day forward or back to catch the best conditions.

  • I customize each edit based on skin tone, location, vibe, and mood. That said, I don’t use Photoshop to alter natural bodies. My goal is to capture you authentically—just as you are.

  • You’ll receive your gallery in 3-4 weeks, sometimes sooner if possible.

  • Because I love an excuse to travel and work with amazing couples in stunning locations. If your wedding is in a gorgeous part of Europe, I’m in!

  • Of course! I’m happy to photograph and plan an elopement with up to 15 people.

  • Bring them along! As someone from a big family, I absolutely love and welcome little humans.
