You want to be surrounded by the people you truly cherish as you embark on this new adventure together. You want your people to show up for you, as you show up for each other - to laugh with you, to cry with you, and to be as equally invested in the vows you exchange.
You are looking for a photographer who will truly honour this season of your journey. Someone who will be beside you every step of the way, helping you craft and capture a day that feels completely aligned to you and your two hearts..

Here’s how we’ll make your best ever day an unforgettable experience
01.
Locking me in for your elopement date?! YAAYYYYY!!! Thank you SO much for giving me the honour of being a part of your lovey-dovey adventure. Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send over your deposit invoice and a contract to sign (the least glamorous part of the process). I absolutely can’t wait to celebrate alongside you!
Say ‘I do’ to me (too)
OMG, your best day ever is finally here! Breathe in, breathe out, be fully present so you can truly immerse yourselves in this loved-up joyride.

Your final gallery is on its way, ready for you to relive your magical adventure all over again - the quiet tears, the bellyaching laughs, the adrenaline rush, it’s all coming back! Grab the wine and tissues, and cuddle up for the moment you’ve been waiting for.

the scenic rim ALL-INCLUSIVE ELOPEMENT PACKAGE
Your complete stress-free wedding solution
looking for a complete done-for you solution?
Your Scenic Rim Elopement includes
Take a deep breathe, and relax in to your Intimate Wedding experience, knowing that most of the work has already been done for you! This luxurious elopement package whisks you away to Tamborine Mountains newest boutique accomodation: VH Country Estate.
You wake up on the morning of your Wedding day, together. You take the morning slowly as you lay out the picnic rug and enjoy some fresh brewed coffee, and a beautiful brunch provided by your hosts - while looking out over the expansive, and ancient views of the Gold Coast Hinterland. You're feeling excited for the day ahead. You spend the rest of the morning lazing by the pool, trying out local wines and cheeses before you relax in to a state of bliss with a couples treatment at your personal Day Spa located on the grounds. You casually make your way back to your room, have a soak in the tub and finish off writing your vows. Hair and Makeup starts, as you glance out over the spectacular Scenic Rim views. Your Celebrant arrives, but there is still no sense of urgency placed upon you, there is no strict schedule or timing to adhere to. When you're ready, your Celebrant invites you to join them at your ceremony space. You come together in your Suite for a "First Look" and a moment to calm each others nerves, and then you walk hand-in-hand, the short distance across the manicured lawns to your ceremony space. Choosing to embark on this journey together, you walk down the "isle", together. The sun is gently setting in the background, painting the whole landscape gold, as you exchange vows overlooking the most breathtaking mountain and coastal views the Gold Coast has to offer. Time stands still as you make your promise of forever to one another. You have your first dance, under the stars, and spend the rest of the evening sipping wine around the fire, and looking up at QLDs amazing night sky.

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD
acknowledgement of country
Want to respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land that you're marrying on, but not sure how or where to start with doing so? You can often ask your Celebrant to do this at the beginning of the ceremony, but if its not something that they offer, let me know and I am more than happy to facilitate this acknowledgement for you.

A sign of respect to the Traditional Custodians
maori karakia incantation
Karakia, in their true essence, are traditional Māori incantations and prayers, used to invoke spiritual guidance and protection. It is a sign of deep respect, and holds great mana. They are generally used to raise the spiritual vibration of a gathering, and a beautiful way to set the intention and energy of your ceremony space.

Blessings for your ceremony and marriage
I’m currently based in The Scenic Rim (Tamborine), QLD. I travel all over Australia, New Zealand and beyond and am obsessed with capturing love stories in faraway landscapes!
Every single Elopement or Intimate Wedding that I work on with my couples is a completely customised experience, no two the same! Which is why jumping on a call and getting a feel for what’s going to set YOUR unique day apart is the first step in my process to receive your custom package proposal. So let’s get your consult call in the books, and get your custom packages created!
Of course! I've included some of my standard packages for you above - but I rarely find that my couples fit in to a "standard package". Similar to my customised elopements, I can absolutely customise your photography coverage as needed!
Get in touch so we can talk about your plans, and what is most important to you to have captured, and we can customise your coverage!
Absolutely! If I’m gonna be all up in your intimate space for the entirety of one of the most memorable days of your lives, I totally get that you’d wanna vet me before you commit!
Please reach out if you would like to catch up for a cuppa, a wine, or a zoom date if you’re interstate.
Honestly, this is completely natural! I would say 90% of my clients have this exact concern. My style of shooting is photojournalistic, so I document everything unfolding naturally, rather than making you stand and hold awkward poses. I might gently guide you using prompts that allow you to interact naturally with each other if I can sense we need some guidance, but the whole process is fairly painless, I promise. Plus I'm excellent at reading a room!
10000% yes. I don’t believe these special moments should be limited to sharing a couple of our favs on our Instagram pages and then stashing the rest of the digital gallery away on our computers! I personally look at my own wedding album at least once a week.
If you’d like a personalised keepsake in the form of a beautiful album, we can totally arrange that for you! Please get in touch for a list of my album prices.
Yes! Upon delivery of your full gallery, you will have direct access to a print store via your online portal. It's a self-fulfilled checkout kind of deal (where your order goes directly to the lab) with my favourite print lab in Australia: Atkins Print Lab.
Of course, you’re not obliged to order professional prints through the store. You're more than welcome to take your high res images down to your favourite print kiosk and do it that way - however, please be mindful that if you choose to do so, I won’t be responsible for the quality of your prints.
I usually send out a sneak peek gallery within 48hrs of your wedding. Delivery of your full gallery, as per my contract, is 8 weeks.
However, if you do want to skip the queue and get your images back super quick, you can purchase a "rush delivery fee" at an extra cost of $997 (the extra cost is to cover the late nights editing until 2am and the trouble I get in to for ignoring my family for two weeks straight until your gallery is finished haha!)
Preferably as soon as possible, especially for popular dates! I pour so much of my heart and soul into my clients’ experience and holding space for them, so I only take on a very limited number of weddings per year. This means that I, unfortunately, close my books earlier than most photographers.
In saying that, I also thrive on spontaneity! So if you’re planning something super last minute, I’d still love to hear from you to see if we can make your whirlwind adventure work!
This depends on the package you’ve selected. All packages require a retainer upon booking, and the final payment to be made 30 days prior to the event date. If you’re choosing a package that requires custom planning etc, then the cost is split up in instalments to cover the pre-planning portion of the package.
If you would like me to apply a payment plan or instalments to your package, then please let me know at the time of booking!
Ahhh, THANK YOU!! Let’s do this, lovers!! Fill in my contact form, or shoot me an email at hello@nikitapere.com and we can get the ball rolling. A signed contract and non-refundable retainer of $1000 (unless otherwise stated) will secure your date and lock you in my calendar!
