“We got married during the first summer storm, complete with rain and thunder. Tina captured the day perfectly, from the rain to our joy in each other. It was more like she was there celebrating with us, rathen than just doing a job. She was the only person present during our first look. It’s such a private moment and we couldn’t imagine anyone else doing such a dreamy job. And of course her photography work is amazing. We get so much joy out of the photos of our day. Thank you so much Tina.”

Safire and Alex’ sweet and rainy Melbourne Elopement has got to be the perfect reminder of all of the below:

  1. With couples who are entirely focused on each other and who wear their hearts on their sleeves, we can achieve absolute magic within the shortest amount of time, even if it pours, even if it’s cold. This sort of magic always happens with couples who trust us completely, from the outset. After ten years of Lovelenscapes, I can now recognise these couples from a million miles away - even via the first enquiry email. It’s a joy to work like this and we are chasing this kind of connection with every couple we commit to.

  2. Elopements are the best. Connection, intimacy, time for all the moments. Consider eloping if you want it to be like that.

  3. First Looks before the ceremony are magical and make for extra special photos.

  4. When there is no table, it’s totally cool to sign on each other’s backs.

  5. Artisan Pizzas, cocktails and a chic pub can be the perfect choice to hold a reception with your loved ones after your ceremony.

  6. Rain is your friend and can make for extra romantic photos with those milky skin tones and deep velvety greens, browns and blacks.



Ceremony Location: Alexandra Gardens, Melbourne / Reception: The Kilburn, Melbourne / Celebrant: Melbourne City Celebrant
