The Number 1 Reason Why Couples Elope!

CREATING BREATHTAKING MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES 

When we chat with our couples it usually revolves around a desire to be more personal, intimate, and having a meaningful celebration that focuses on their unique relationship rather than conforming to traditional expectations.

The biggest plus is picking the stunning unique locations that set the backdrop of their ceremony & photos.

The Causeway Coast is a haven of dramatic cliffs, mystical castles, and pristine beaches that serve as the perfect backdrop for your elopement. You can have all that or whatever you want on your elopement day!

You dream. We guide.

For over 13 years, we've been crafting unforgettable elopements and weddings, both intimate and grand. As photographers and videographers, we understand how to put you at ease—guiding you through planning, timelines, and details while connecting you with the right vendors to make your adventure seamless and truly enjoyable.

It doesn't have to be difficult.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Sam and Dani for our elopement in Northern Ireland. As a former wedding videographer myself, I knew how important it was to have photos and video that captured the beauty of the day—and Sam and Dani exceeded all our expectations. Their style immediately caught our eye, and their knowledge of breathtaking locations, technical skills, and hard work truly set them apart.

They took us to incredible spots where every shot felt like something out of a dream. The results were stunning, and we’ll cherish these images and videos forever!

Not only did they deliver everything quickly, but our video was ready just in time for our celebration at home, less than a month after our elopement—a huge plus that made sharing our memories with loved ones even more special.

Sam and Dani were easy to communicate with, and the entire process felt seamless. We’ve been flooded with compliments and could not be happier. If you’re looking for a photo/video team, look no further!

"A Work of Art!"

They took us to incredible spots!

If you’re looking for a dynamic photography & videography team in Northern Ireland, look no further—Cinematic Tide is the BEST IN THE BIZ! From the moment we met Sam and Dani over a video call, we knew they were the ones. Their infectious energy, kind presence, and attention to detail made planning our elopement an absolute joy.

Leading up to our big day, they helped us with everything—locations, schedules, vendor recommendations—and once we arrived, they checked in regularly with updates and local tips. It felt like visiting family because they cared so much.

On our wedding day, they made us feel comfortable, kept things light, and even lent me a jacket to stay warm! Their candid, documentary-style photos are stunning and perfectly capture our true selves. And the wedding film? A WORK OF ART. Showing it at home brought 120 people to tears.

Sam and Dani, we’re forever grateful for these lifelong memories. You’ll always have friends in Toronto!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sam and Dani. They are a dream team, and we were so lucky to work with them. From the moment we reached out, Sam and Dani brought exceptional professionalism through prompt communication and dedication to making our wedding video a perfect reflection of us.

Eloping internationally can be intimidating, but we always felt in the best hands with Cinematic Tide.

One of the highlights of our experience was how they considered our personal style and taste, ensuring every detail—from music to editing—felt uniquely "us." Their seamless blend of digital and film formats created a stunning, timeless video that we’ll treasure forever. When we shared it with family, jaws were literally on the floor, and it was all anyone talked about.

Beyond their artistry, they went above and beyond in ways we’ll never forget, even helping us secure a motorcycle for our shoot. If you’re looking for stunning artistry and unmatched professionalism, look no further than Cinematic Tide!

Photography is the greatest invention and most important physical property I own.

Tessa & Brent - Washington, USA

We hired Sam and Dani with Cinematic Tide for our Adventure Elopement on the cliffs of Northern Ireland in and we absolutely LOVED our experience and our highlight film we received.

We are ever eternally grateful for the incredible skills and this memory Cinematic Tide has preserved for us. As someone who is genetically destined to get Alzheimer’s, or dementia, photography is the greatest invention and most important physical property I own. This was the best way to start our 13th year together, with the reminder of our personal commitments and the best day of our lives.

To all future couples, I highly recommend you make the investment. Get both the highlight and the full ceremony edit. You won't regret it getting it but you will regret NOT getting it.

The highlight film is for your family and friends, but the ceremony is for you. Rehearing my husbands vows and getting to see his entire reactions to mine all over again had us both crying and holding each other. I think we will watch this after every fight, it reconnects us in a way you can only experience through reliving your ceremony together.

Your photographers & Videographers

"Sam and Dani are an absolute dream. From our initial skype meet-and-greet to the wedding day, they were kind, open to suggestions, and helpful.

They were concerned with making sure they understood what we wanted from our wedding photos and video, but also stayed true to their amazing creative and artistic skills.

The resulting photos and video are absolutely stunning and are treasures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. They are truly talented at what they do and made our photography/video dreams come true.

EVERY MOMENT TELLS YOUR STORY

We fell in love with weddings 12 years ago because we saw how empowering telling stories of human connection, relationships and families remind us of who we are and what is important in life.

There’s something powerful about honesty and authenticity. For us there are no staged or weird poses. Sure we will give you some direction as you have never done this before. But the rest is up to you to create those moments together!

It doesn't matter if it's small and intimate weddings or elopements, big, grand and elegant weddings. We want to create intentional stories that mean something to you.
