If laid-back is more of your vibe, perhaps a styled picnic on the beach, a calm stroll out in nature, or a campfire back at your accommodation with mulled wine and smores and a private first dance under the stars!
And to celebrate in the evening, you could hire out a private styled function room for a romantic dinner for you, invite a private chef to cook at your accommodation, or simply unwind in the spa with a glass of wine!
If chasing adevnture is your specality, why not book that helicopter ride, hike to that summit, wander to that waterfall deep in the forest, hire a private yatch and go sailing, or jump into your kayaks and go exploring!
Imagine Getting Ready together, spending the morning making coffee and breakfast in your airbnb together, snuggling on the couch, playing your favourite board games and then helping one another into your attire
Or perhaps you are getting ready in 2 seperate rooms of your airbnb, and then come together for the most magical first look in the stunning backyard overlooking the sea, before heading off on your adventure of a lifetime to get married!!

"Vanessa and Linden are the best elopement photographers in Australia. If We could give them more than 5 stars We would."
They made us feel super comfortable in front of camera and not awkward at all (like we normally are). We had not one clue what We wanted or what our vision really was when we booked with them, they helped us find out location, vendors and literally everything for us - they’re possibly the closest things to angels!
If you’re wanting photographers who are more like friends, Vanessa and Linden are perfect! Booking them as our photographers was the best decision we had made!

THE MOST PLEaSaNT EXPERIENCE WE've ever had with photographers
Vanessa and Linden have done such a wonderful job to help us plan our elopement and to make us feel comfortable in front of the cameras. The photos they captured were absolutely amazing! We felt so lucky we found them! Can’t thank them enough!
