WHY NORDIC VOWS

We’re here for
the feeling.

You’re not here for the ordinary. You’re here because your love is wild, untamed, and unapologetically yours. You crave wind in your hair, vows whispered beneath a waterfall, or golden hour kisses on a cliff’s edge. At Nordic Vows, we’re not just capturing your day… we’re helping you live it. Sharyn and Tez aren’t just a photo and video team, they’re storytellers of the bold, the brave, and the beautifully in love. If you want goosebumps every time you relive your elopement, you’re in the right place.

We specialize in crafting unforgettable experiences for couples who dare to do things differently. Whether you’re dreaming of a windswept Icelandic elopement, a castle ceremony in Ireland, or saying “I do” under the Serengeti sky, we’ll be by your side capturing every raw, magical moment. With cinematic films and soul-stirring photography, we don’t just document your day. We elevate it. Think of us as your creative guides, adventure partners, and memory keepers, all in one.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Sharyn.

An award-winning photographer with a soul made for storytelling, Sharyn has traveled the globe documenting lovers in the most breathtaking places on Earth. From snow-capped mountains to the balloon-dotted skies of the Serengeti, her lens finds the beauty in both epic landscapes and quiet, intimate moments. With an eye for detail and a heart for connection, Sharyn creates imagery that feels as timeless as your love.

She’s the kind of photographer who notices the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, or the subtle ways you hold each other when words fall short. Her superpower is making people feel completely themselves in front of the camera. No posing, no pressure, just magic. For Sharyn, photography is more than a job. It’s a lifelong love affair with moments that deserve to be remembered forever.

THE FILMMAKER

Tez.

Tez is the explorer with a camera in hand and adventure in his veins. A passionate videographer, he’s the guy who will scale a cliff, wade through rivers, or hike through a snowstorm to get the shot that will leave you speechless. His cinematic style blends natural storytelling with a deep love for the outdoors, bringing your elopement film to life in a way that feels raw, real, and absolutely unforgettable.

He’s usually the one navigating a car through wild river crossings, getting stuck in desert sand, or hauling gear like a seasoned pack mule while still keeping everyone laughing. Whether it’s high winds, sideways rain, or rugged terrain, Tez thrives in the unpredictable. Because no elopement is truly complete without Mother Nature throwing a curveball, and he’s the calm, capable presence who turns every challenge into part of the story.

While we’re out chasing love stories across glaciers and canyons, our hearts always return to South Africa, where four very important team members hold down the fort. Frankie, our sassy little queen, keeps everyone in line with her adorable attitude. Nono is the regal red prince who believes he runs the world, and maybe he does. Pip is the lovable softie, a chunky boy full of cuddles and joy. Dani, the young old man, grumbles his way through life with the heart of a pup. They’re our grounding force and the very reason we believe love, in all its forms, is always worth capturing.

The chaos, joy, and unconditional love they bring into our lives remind us daily what matters most: connection, presence, and shared adventures, even the messy ones. They’ve taught us patience, playfulness, and how to spot the best nap spots in the sun. These are all traits we carry with us on the road when documenting love stories around the world.
