Jack and Crystal’s elopement was an entire experience, curated with so much care, intention, and meaning. From the very beginning, they knew they wanted something that felt slow, soulful and deeply them, and we brought that to life across a multi-day celebration in the Blue Mountains.

They settled into their peaceful sanctuary of Spicers Sangoma Retreat, where we kicked things off with a couples massage at the spa and a cleansing bath ritual to help them ground and connect before their vows. On the morning of their ceremony, they got ready together in their private apartment—avoiding eye contact, moving around each other gently so they could still share that electric first look moment. Their ceremony was intimate, heartfelt, and completely personal, with only the bride’s father and sister present.

Afterwards, we jumped in the car and headed to Ten Thousand Tigers tattoo studio, where they each had a wedding tattoo inked—forever marking the day on their skin. We wrapped things up at Lincoln’s Rock, where the wind howled around us and the mountains stretched endlessly into the distance. It was the most beautiful, emotional, and real day.

I’m so proud of how this one came together!
