Elopements…
What Is An Elopement?
An elopement to me, is when two people decide to forgo the traditional big wedding, tapas and seating plan to have an intimate wedding with just them and a couple of friends or family.
It is simple, elegant and allows the whole day to celebrate their love for each other and their commitment.
…So much more than you imagined

Here is where forever can start.
Adventure
Elopements
There is nothing quite like getting up early, and going on a hike to find a unique and completely deserted location with a stunning view.
Turning to your partner and saying your vows. Just the two of you with no one to judge, no groups of people staring at you while you declare your love.
Having your first kiss as a married couple in nature. Starting a new life together.
City
Elopements
So many people think that a city elopement is only the ceremony at registration office and a dinner out and then your whole wedding day is done. No! there is so much more and you deserve to have your whole day documented. There are so many options for a city elopement. From the stunning architecture to the lush botanical gardens.
Enjoy your ceremony where you feel most comfortable but let’s do more with it, let’s go for a walk through the gardens, or take a horse and carriage around the city.
Documenting Your Wedding Day, Your Way …
Questions?
What’s included?
I know each wedding day is different and elopements are just as special and unique! So I always include:
All day coverage
Customised Timeline
Vendor Recommendations
Customized pricing package
Pre-elopement couple shoot (so you get to know me and I get to know you. This way on your wedding day we can get authentic real moments)
Why would I want a photographer all day?
You will only marry your partner once, and at the end of the day, you’ll eat the cake, drink the champagne and hopefully will never wear that stunning dress again.
So what’s left? The photos!
I believe it is so important to make your elopement more than just a 2 hour event, you should be able to have a once in a lifetime experience together. You should do something you may never do again!
And if that’s the case, wouldn’t you want incredible photos to remember then let’s capture it!!
What is an all day elopement?
An all day elopement is when we spend the whole day documenting and celebrating your love, not just an hour or two.
Your wedding day is just as amazing as a “big” wedding so lets create an incredible day!

How much are your elopement packages?
Unlike most photographers, I don’t have set prices. Each wedding is unique and deserves to be treated as such. So create customized prices based on what you would like to have documented and included. My beginning price for an elopement is $1847, so let’s chat and see what you would like to be included!

“Michaela was kind enough to help us out at short notice when we decided to go ahead with our wedding during Covid-19 restrictions earlier this year. I had one main rule - virtually be invisible and get natural shots of the day. Michaela was perfect, with suggestions for some subtle shots and she was never invasive or bossy (my biggest fear!) it was a pleasure to work with her. She even helped me get into my dress and formally witnessed our marriage seeing as we weren't allowed guests - we are so grateful for her help and highly recommend her for weddings and events.” - Tracey & Ryan 2020
