engagement + elopement

Life lived in love, because connection has always been our favourite story to tell.

We’ve seen how powerful it is to freeze the moments that lead you toward forever: the quiet glances, the easy laughter, the spark that sits between two people who’ve chosen each other. Capturing these chapters feels deeply personal to us, and being invited into your love story is something we hold with care. The way hands intertwine, the nerves that turn into joy, the softness, the celebration – these moments teach us how to anticipate emotion long before it arrives.

That experience is what shaped this offering: a way to honour couples in all their forms, from just-engaged to just-married and everything in between. From intimate elopements to warm engagement sessions, we chase the connection, the chemistry, the stories written in touch and presence. This is where emotion meets intention, and where love becomes art.

What we SPECIALISE in

Connection is at the heart of what we do, captured through soft light, natural direction and storytelling frames that honour the way you love. Every moment holds its own meaning, so we embrace them all: quiet glances, warm interactions, intimate portraits, candid in-betweens and cinematic video built for announcements, albums or full love stories.

Our work is shaped by emotion – honest imagery, gentle guidance, lifestyle visuals and full storytelling packages for couples in every chapter.

Engagements, proposals, intimate elopements, celebrations – we’re there for the moments you’ll want to remember. From tender moments to joyful bursts, small details to big feelings, we bring love and storytelling together in a way that feels real and alive.

This offering is for anyone celebrating love – newly engaged couples, soon-to-be newlyweds, and those wanting their connection captured with honesty and intention.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, announcing your engagement, or simply wanting heartfelt imagery to mark this chapter, this was created for you.

From couples wanting relaxed, natural portraits to those building albums, invitations or save-the-dates, these sessions are designed to honour your story in the way it deserves.

This is where your connection becomes something you can hold onto forever.

the questions

  • Golden hour (sunrise or sunset) is always ideal for soft, flattering light.

    We can also shoot at a location or time that feels meaningful to you – beaches, cliffs, forests, city spots or at home.

  • Absolutely. Once we understand your style, we’ll help choose a location, mood, colour palette and overall direction. Whether you want something warm and coastal, modern and minimal, or soft and intimate, we’ll guide you through it.

  • Definitely. Most couples choose a blend – natural portraits paired with candid moments that show your chemistry. We tailor the session to your comfort level and the story you want told.

  • Of course – some couples aren’t used to the camera. We use gentle direction and natural movement to help you relax so your connection feels real, not staged. Think prompts, not poses.

  • Yes. We cover everything from low-key cliffside elopements to small gatherings and engagement sessions. The scale doesn’t matter – the story does.

  • Most engagement sessions run for 45–90 minutes, depending on the location and how many spots we’re shooting at.

    Elopements vary – typically 2–6 hours, depending on your plans.

  • Absolutely. If they’re part of your story, they’re welcome. Just let us know beforehand so we can plan the timing and flow.


  • Something that feels like you. Soft tones, flattering silhouettes and comfortable clothing always photograph well — but we also love colour, texture and personal style. We’ll send inspo and help you choose outfits that complement the location and movement.

  • Yes – local, interstate and international travel is available. Whether it’s a cliffside ceremony, a coastal hideaway or a city elopement, we’re happy to come to you.

  • Engagement and elopement galleries are typically delivered within 2–8 weeks. If you need images earlier for invites, announcements or save-the-dates, we can prioritise your delivery.

  • Soul & Stone Jewellery

    “I have just started my own jewellery business and I commissioned Peri to take professional shots of my pieces at my local beach, she was very professional and has such a natural flair, she listened to what I wanted and also made some suggestions to add her creative flair and an individual touch to the look of the final shots. Her model was also very accommodating. The end result was fabulous, especially the main feature, my gemstone lariat. I also used Peri to take shots of my new Emerald collection and Meditation Bracelets at the iconic location, Seal Rocks on the East Coast. This time Peri used her natural artistic flair without any direction from me and once again the results were outstanding,  she truly is very talented. I highly recommend her.”
