Meet your Australia Elopement Photographer
Hi, my name is Rachel, and with my husband Luke,
We are a wedding photography and videography team based in Australia. We love the ocean and nature and want to make your Byron Bay Elopement Wedding as special as possible.
We live in a coastal town in NSW called Newcastle. Which makes us a bit of an expert when it comes to beach weddings. Luke is a surfer and I am an ocean baths queen. We are passionate about the combined beauty that is a couple’s love, mixed with the outdoors. The way sunlight can tell a story through a photograph is what gives me goosebumps.
We love LOVE! We get the want to have a small wedding as we too had a micro/elopement style wedding for our special day which was based in a sleepy coastal town of Australia called Crescent Head. We are here to make your Byron Bay Elopement Wedding as fun, adventurous, and romantic as you’d like it to be. We are easy-going and adaptable, and ready to bring your dreams about your Destination Wedding in Australia to life!
