EXPERIENCE

what you can expect from a

this aint no copy-paste wedding - it's an experience that is truly, and uniquely yours

You might be feeling ready to buckle under the weight of your well-intentioned-loved-ones sharing their opinion of what they think your Wedding Day should look like - but knowing deep down that your soul yearns for something more.

You might be having difficulty trawling the depths of the internet, and not being able to find any inspiration or visual references that look or feel like you. Perhaps you're feeling overloaded by the entire process, and just don't even know where to start. 

It's time for us to journey together so that you can fall in love with the Wedding Planning process again. Allow me to gently guide you through the fog, so you can skip all of the stressful bits and just get to the part where you're FINALLY MARRIED.

you'll receive

01.
custom package offers

I've been in this industry long enough to know that "standardised" packages offered by most industry peeps, just doesn't quite hit the spot. After all, no Wedding Day is the same, so how can a list of pre-made offers (full of things you probably don't even need) seek to solve your individual pain points?

I put the power back in your hands by creating Custom Elopement Packages for your personalised, hand-crafted elopement experience. Full of all of the things you need, and none of the things you don't.

02.
questionnaires & resource guides

I take the time to really get to know you as a couple. I learn all about the things that you enjoy doing together, the types of landscapes that you like to adventure in, right down to your design aesthetic so I know what type of venues and accomodations makes you feel all warm and cosy. All of this allows me to really hone in on customising your day - and helps me to recommend of any out-of-the-box ideas that might help elevate your experience.

My custom resource guides will help inspire you, while also allowing you the space to confidently piece it all together!

03.
the most epic locations + airbnb lists

No stone left unturned! If you're looking for the most epic, jaw-dropping locations that are full of magic and wander - I'm your gal. Before I started planning epic elopements, I used to plan epic travel trips, so I know how to find those Instagram worthy locations that look like they're a scene from a movie (and can even take you to your favourite movie spot, too!).

My clients are always raving about the amazing locations and Airbnbs that I am able to find through my extensive search (and archived list of some personal favourites). So if you're needing help to find that "perfect" spot, reach out!

04.
Ongoing support & guidance

I don't just lock you in the calendar and "bid you adieu". Throughout our entire journey together, you will have full access to me and my 15 years of industry knowledge - so if you require that personalised level of support when you feel the overwhelm slowly creeping in, you know I got you!

Lily & Iris

" We received your parcel and opened it together"

What a lovely package to receive 🥹 we felt so special once more. Everything was so thoughtful and it really was heartwarming💜 Loved everything! Thank you so much again✨ another reason why choosing you for our wedding was the best choice ever 🙌🏼 

JOYCE & EDDIE

Nikita is the whole package! Our elopement wouldn't have been what it was without Nikita's support, calming presence and positivity. Her presence is exactly what you would hope for; re-assuring when necessary and intuitively hands off when those special moments are unfolding. I can't imagine we would've been able to pull off a mountaintop elopement without Nikita. THANK YOU, we are so grateful it all aligned the way it did!

GEORGIA & TOM

I can't even begin to explain how amazing Nikita is! She takes so much care and time to get to know you that it feels like you're planning your wedding with a best friend who has known you a lifetime. I love our photos so much, I feel they have that raw organic feeling that takes us back to that very moment. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera that even the shyest of couples will shine ✨ Everyone who has seen them comments on how incredible they are.

Have more q?

Where are you based? Do you travel?

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!

why is there no standard price list?

There's nothing standard about my type of couples, so it was absolutely impossible to create a standard price list that aligned with everyones needs! 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!

WE ALREADY HAVE OUR DAY PLANNED, DO YOU OFFER PHOTOGRAPHY ONLY?

Of course! Similar to my customised elopements, I can also 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!

are you culturally or spiritually inclusive?

I understand the importance of cultural and spiritual inclusivity when it comes to sacred ceremonies. I always endeavour to work with my clients to understand the significance of their cultural and spiritual traditions to ensure that they are respected and beautifully and authentically represented in your photos.

what if we're awkward in front of the camera?

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!

do you offer "all-inclusive" packages

I have recently stopped offering all-inclusive packages, simply because I no longer aligned with taking the power out of my couples hands! Instead, I provide you with a full list of Celebrants that align with your vibe and values - and a list of the best Vendor Recommendations in your chosen location. This gives my couples complete freedom to hand-select every element of their day in a way that feels personal and authentic to them while also allowing them to refine their experience so as to align with their ideal budgets.

what's the deal with multi-day coverage?

Multi Day Coverage allows my couples the ability to split their coverage. If you're having a destination soiree, why not take the opportunity to capture so much more of your adventure? Whether its a post-elopement wine tour, or whisking your family off to sail around the islands, allow me to capture your one-of-a-kind experience in all of its glory! 

It also allows us to keep your elopement day relaxed without the time constraints of fitting in multiple locations. If we missed golden hour for your portraits, we can head to some more epic locations for your sunset bridal portraits on another day.

When will we receive our photos? 

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!)

How far in advance should we book?

Preferably as soon as possible as I only take on a very limited number of elopements per year. This exclusive amount of availability ensures that my booked couples get the support and attention that they deserve throughout our entire journey together!

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!

What’s your payment process?

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!

We already love your work. How do we lock you in?!

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!

BEATING HEARTS,

INTERTWINED SOULS, THIS IS YOUR FOREVER.

Your adventure’s just beginning. Let’s explore the unknown and experience its beauty, together.
