Step Two
Hear from me within 48 hours
Within 48 hours you will hear back from me. I’ll look over your ideas and start dreaming up possibilities for your elopement.
Together, we'll make time stand still and take you away to the world of your dreams.
Let’s Make Time Stand Still
Hi, I’m Dominick — the heart, eyes, and ears behind Stories by DJ. This isn’t just a business for me, it’s my life’s work: creating elopements that feel like stepping into the world of your dreams. I’m not just your filmmaker — I’m your planner, location scout, and travel companion. From hidden Mediterranean coves to mountaintop sunsets, I’ll be there to make sure every moment is as real, beautiful, and effortless as it feels in your imagination.
When we work together, you’re not booking a “package” — you’re inviting me into one of the most important days of your life. I take that seriously. I’ll help you discover hidden gem locations that match your personalities, plan the flow of your day so you never feel rushed, and quietly capture the in-between moments you didn’t even notice happening.
Every elopement is a mix of adventure and cinematic storytelling. You might be exchanging vows in a secluded bay, hiking to a cliff for sunrise, or sharing a slow dance under the stars — whatever your vision is, I’ll make sure it feels true to you. My films aren’t just about how your day looked; they’re about how it felt.
What You Can Expect
I’ll be with you from the first idea to the final film. That means:
• Honest, open conversations to dream up your perfect day
• Location ideas you won’t find on Pinterest
• A smooth planning process with permits, timelines, and travel handled
• A film that lets you relive the air, the light, the laughter, and the tears
How to Reach Me
Fill in the contact form below with your names, your dream location (or just a feeling), and when you’d like to elope. You can share every detail you’ve already planned, or simply tell me the mood you’re chasing — that’s where the magic begins.
I reply to every message within 48 hours — most of the time much faster. The only exceptions? When I’m underwater diving, on top of a mountain, or sailing somewhere in the Mediterranean far from cellphone reach. In those rare moments, I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m back on dry land.
Ready to start your story? Let’s dream big, explore freely, and make time stand still.

Step Six
We Elope
After months of dreaming together and carefully planning every detail, the day has finally arrived. Hand in hand, you elope into the world of your dreams — the place we’ve been building toward since our very first conversation. Every moment is exactly as it should be: the scenery, the light, the feeling in your hearts. This is your adventure come to life, your love story unfolding exactly as you imagined… and more.
Step Seven
Film and photo's
Your adventure may be complete, but your story is just beginning. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive your elopement trailer — most of the time even sooner. I’ll always keep you updated, but if I’ve just been diving to a shipwreck and need four flights to get back, it might take a little longer. If you’re having a ceremony back home with friends and family, I’ll make sure your films are ready in time so you can share the magic with them. Your full film and stills are normally delivered within 6–8 weeks, often faster if you need them for your celebration.
