whitsundays elopement

Sallie & Ross planned their ENTIRE ELOPEMENT in just over a month, WHILST living on the road, and travelling Australia in their van with their pup through some of the most remote parts of Australia. I had a fire inside of me to be able to tell the story of their love, but also weave in their nomadic lifestyle in to their imagery. Fast forward to the day, and as soon as I met Sallie, I felt like I was reconnecting with a dear old friend. We got straight in to discussing the intricacies of the Universe and our existence on this Earthly realm, and shared so many similarities and synchronicities we joked that we were Twin Flames reuniting with one another — I say “joked” very loosely, because actually tho? 🤔😅🔥🙈

These guys knew they wanted their sacred space to be full of love, intent and high vibe frequencies 💫🌀 so they created their space together. Creating a ceremony circle out of botanicals and crystals they’d collected along their travels. They called upon the energy of the elements which were ever so present on the day (earth 🌱, fire 🔥 , wind/air 🌬, water 🌊) and asked their celebrant to precede their ceremony with a sound bowl healing to raise the vibration of the ceremony circle and the people present, and a sage ceremony to cleanse the energy of the space. Each of these steps intentionally chosen, with the purpose of creating a sacred, and honoured circle that transcends dimensions and lifetimes ✨

Sallie had one day of shopping in Darwin to find something “wedding-y”, and she offset her dress with a beautiful sparkly, pearly veil. Paired with some simple jewellery and bare feet — I’m so in love with this timeless, understated Bridal look 😍 What a Queen 👸🏼 Sometimes it’s the simplest of details that pack the biggest punch 💫 

Feeling mighty grateful for the INCREDIBLE Elopements I’ve had the opportunity to capture this week (over 3000kms clocked up in my car this week for 3 Elopements), but also feeling incredibly HEART FULL 🤍 after connecting with the most amazing couples and being able to share space with them 💫🌙

Pure magic.
