It’s always an honour to be able to capture a couple’s special day. But, when the couple involves friends we’ve had for over a decade, there’s definitely no better feeling.
Although it wasn't the vineyard rich, Italian-esque elopement they once dreamed of (thanks COVID), April and Josh’s “I do’s” were just as idyllic now situated amongst the snow-capped peaks of Cradle Mountain.
Although we were hit with some literal roadblocks thanks to the dense fog amongst the mountains, Portia and Norton took it all in their stride and we opted for ‘Plan B’ along the harbourside of Hobart and romantic shorelines of Coles Bay.
As epic as it would have been to capture these two frolicking around The Dolomites, drinking wine and eating too much pizza… the back lawn and horse paddock of this humble homestead was still perfect.
Kate and Michael’s elegant and intimate wedding at The Calile Hotel. They opted to have two celebrations, one in Sydney and one in Brisbane so they could celebrate with all their loved ones despite border restrictions. We say, why not!?
Pastel striped skies, a glowing almost full moon, and a sweet but simple ceremony along the shore. These are what magical elopements are made of.
Annie and Minh’s day was everything modern, romantic yet traditional with “relaxed and enjoyable” vibes all around. And that dress! Perfectly suited to the structural artistry of the Sydney Opera House used as their backdrop.
They both love to be creative, (Lilli being a graphic designer) and so appreciate a visually pleasing and minimalist aesthetic. Newstead Studios was the perfect blank canvas for their ceremonial visions. We had loads of fun playing with white walls, flash photography, beautiful arches from Newstead Studios, and architectural delights at The Calile Hotel.

Their love story began by meeting through mutual friends on a night out. Yes, love at first sight is a thing. Fast forward to their proposal where Dayne surprised Lidia with a romantic picnic on a cliff face overlooking a Portuguese beach.
They don’t come any cuter than these two love birds. Jess and Dan met through friends at their local church, neither one pursuing anything romantic at first. Little did they know, both had felt a nudge in their spirits that perhaps there was something more. Their paths crossed again, they fell in love, and 10 months later they were engaged. Talk about meant to be!

They had plans to elope in Santorini, but with the recent travel bans in full swing, their plans changed. So, they decided to have a small intimate ceremony at the European inspired estate, Villa Rustica. The mediterranean influences and lush overgrown gardens made for an effortlessly romantic atmosphere with stunning architecture and inspiring art at every turn.

The day was perfect autumnal weather, and the setting sun welcomed an almost full moon. They enjoyed the rest of the night away with a first dance under the moonlight, with good company and with even better food. These two wildly romantics wanted simple, stylish and unashamedly love drenched memories. And boy did their day deliver.

These two sweetest of humans eloped in the beautiful surroundings of Yosemite National Park, CA. Their afternoon was spent on the cliff face of Taft Point at sunset where they exchanged heartfelt vows, wedding rings and joined their lives together
With just mother nature as their backdrop and a few seagulls to set the scene, Laura and Mac exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at Hastings Point.
Elena and Costa decided to fly over with their close family and friends to celebrate the best way they knew how; one big Greek party. The small Greek town of Lindos, Rhodes is a clifftop acropolis which boasts of picturesque ocean views, white washed buildings, and ancient ruins.
Ever wanted to ditch the wedding plans, jet set to New York City and elope with your forever lover? Ollie and Juliet did just that. And they finished it all off with a scoop of ice-creamy goodness.
“We’re lucky. Most people search their whole lives for what we have already found. I just wish I had found you sooner to love you longer…”
Ever wanted to catch a helicopter up to a mountain top and elope in a secret ceremony with just you and your lover? Collete and Daniel did just that, on top of Roy’s Peak in Wanaka, NZ. We were there to capture it all of course, and Josh Withers was there to make it all official and legal.
JD first laid eyes on Lilli at their local Zara store. From afar he saw Lilli walk in and decided there and then that he wanted a woman like her and prayed to God to marry someone like Lilli. He called her that “Zara Girl” and assumed he would never see her again…
Quinton and Kumi… the essence of elegance. These two tied the knot through the Elopement Collective upon a picturesque shoreline in Queenstown.
Viv and Rat walked down the sandstone carved steps dressed in their wedding gear and stepped onto the cliff face platform where their lives would legally be joined as one. The Blue Mountains was the perfect backdrop for this perfect afternoon.
Cass and Josh tied the knot with a real chilled ceremony held in the infamous The Borrowed Nursery. The warehouse meets greenhouse styled shop was perfect for their simple yet stylish afternoon wedding.

Eloping opens up such a vast array of beautiful ceremony locations. You're not limited by a venue, or restricted by your guest list. Charlotte and Wayne decided to make the most of their beautiful country and skipped the traditional wedding venue by eloping by the lake side in Wanaka, NZ.
We spent the afternoon with these two love birds down at the beautiful Cabaritta Beach, NSW. We have the privilege of photographing Lilli and JD’s wedding in just a few weeks, and so to celebrate this stage in their lives, before the chaos of the big day, we took the opportunity to take them down to the beach and just let their pure joy and love for each other run free.
