Dominick Verstoep
"can't help but feel grateful for choosing the path less traveled."
Let me introduce myself 🖐
Hi, I’m Dominick — filmmaker, storyteller, and your elopement planner in Spain. After over a decade capturing weddings around the world and earning awards for cinematic storytelling, I found my heart led me to something deeper: the intentional, unhurried beauty of elopements.
Eloping is not about running away.
It’s about choosing you — without expectation, without noise, without performance.
Just presence. Just love. Just light.
You are adventurers.
You are dreamers.
You have a story worth telling.
Let’s tell it so you can feel it — and relive it forever.
Why elope in Spain
Spain softens the pace of time.
It opens your senses.
It invites you into landscapes that mirror your love — wild, golden, intimate.
From Mediterranean cliffs to hidden waterfalls, every corner of this land feels like it was made for vows whispered just between you two.
In Spain:
Light is softer at golden hour.
Coastlines hold ancient whispers.
Hills frame quiet moments.
Olive groves carry scent and memory.
This isn’t a backdrop.
It’s part of your story.
Your elopement should feel like your dream — lived with intention and captured with heart.
Spain is waiting. Your story is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we legally get married in Spain?
Yes — I can guide you through the process or help you plan a beautiful symbolic ceremony. You can legally get married in Spain as a foreigner, regardless of your residency status, provided at least one partner has been a legal resident for at least two years. Non-residents often choose a symbolic ceremony or marry legally in their home country first. Both civil and Catholic marriages are legal and recognized.span>

Spring through autumn offers ideal light and weather — sunrise ceremonies are magical.
Do we need vendors?
You can keep it minimal. I can recommend trusted partners if needed.
