Thinking of skipping the big production? Good call. I'm an elopement photographer in Brisbane, and small days are some of my favourites.
Just the two of you, or a handful of your favourite people. A Brisbane elopement is a day that's actually about you, not the seating chart.
Fifteen years and 450 weddings have taught me one thing. The best photos happen when nobody's performing.
With an elopement there's no crowd to hide in, so I keep it easy. A bit of chat. A few silly prompts if you need them. Then I step back and let you two get on with it.
I won't line you up or ask you to gaze into the distance. If you laugh halfway through your vows, that's the photo.
You'll stop noticing the camera sooner than you think.
My Elopement package starts from $1,800:
Want the getting ready and a long lunch with your mates too? All the Formalities, from $4,200, gives you 8–9 hours, an assistant and an engagement session.
To book, it's $500 to hold your date, and that comes off the $1,800. You pay the rest 4 weeks before you elope.
I'll be straight with you. I haven't photographed an elopement in Queensland yet. I land in November 2026.
What I can't wait for? The river first thing in the morning. A lookout in the hills. A quiet bit of beach before anyone else is up. Or your backyard — honestly, that counts too.
And if your spot needs a walk to get there, even better. I love a hike.
“…he got our vibe from the get go and the photos captured our perfect day and you can see the energy and atmosphere of our day through the photos…”
Sometimes. It depends on the spot and who looks after it. I'm new to Queensland's rules, so I won't guess. I'll help you check before you lock anything in.
Then I'll quote travel for your destination. Tell me where, and you'll get a straight number.
Nearly every couple asks me this. I'll keep it light and give you easy things to do. The moment something real happens, I get out of the way.
No set number. Every good one gets edited and delivered. Your full gallery arrives within 6–8 weeks.
