“Wild is her style; in life, love and all things free.”
Do you want to elope in South Australia, but are not so keen on a registry office or pop up / micro wedding? Our Wild Love Elopements has been designed to fill this gap. It’s all about celebrating your journey together, and your wedding done your way!
We are Kate & Vee! A wife & wife team who eloped in 2023, and LOVE elopements. We are styling and floral queens, with an amazing team of celebrants, photographer/ videographers and venues . All working together to bring your dream day to life.
We want to help you marry the love of your life, without the bells and whistles. But with the love and uniqueness that allows you to do you. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your individual personality, tastes and style just because you want to elope.
Most importantly… you bring the love! You also bring the freedom and the choice. You choose the location. You choose the dress, the suit. You choose the flowers, the makeup. You choose and bring all the things you love, and that make you and your love story unique. Your elopement can be as simple or as styled as you personally want it to be.
We bring 2 of the most important things you need to get married. The celebrant and the photographer. The legal paperwork and heartfelt personalised words that will make you legally married. And the memories, the beautiful moments and treasured parts of your elopement captured forever in creative, natural photography. Our team are also ready to jump in and take care of your styling, venue, flowers and/or video needs.
The dictionary defines an elopement as “an act or instance of running off secretly, as to be married.” While we are all for this! We believe it has grown in it’s definition. To us, an elopement is something for people who just want to be married without the fuss and fancy of a traditional wedding. But with the beauty of a unique and precious place (not just a registry office). It can be just the 2 of you, just the 2 of us, and 1 legal witness secretly running off to some beautiful place to marry you. Or, you could bring a small gathering of family and friends along to celebrate and enjoy the moment with you.
You wake up, curled in the arms of your best friend and lover. Maybe you’ve stayed the night in that fancy bed and breakfast, or you’re at home with your furry friend crushing your toes. You have a relaxed day together, or apart, whatever you fancy. You dress up, you sip bubbles, or gin, or scotch. You eat cheeses and fruits and any manner of delicious thing. Entirely relaxed, with nothing but time on your side, you begin your adventure.
Perhaps it’s on a beautiful sandy cliff overlooking the Southern oceans, or nestled amongst trees in Kuitpo forest. Maybe it’s surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills at your cute little B&B, or we all hike together along your favourite trek to an awesome clearing in the bush. You’ve chosen a spot that’s gorgeous, unique, and isolated away from the expectations and bustle of the world. You’ve chosen a place that makes you warm and happy. It could be just the two of you, or maybe that furry friend of yours has come along. Or maybe you couldn’t bare to leave your parents behind, or those special besties. Whoever is with you, or whoever isn’t, you know you’re doing the right thing. You’re marrying that special someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Your word wizard (AKA celebrant) has crafted an awesome ceremony that is completely you. Together, you relive the highlights of your personal and unique love story, share memories of the times that brought you to this moment. You share special vows with each other, whatever sentiment you truly want to share. No form, no fancy. Just you doing you. All the while, photo ninja is capturing every precious moment. The tears, the smiles, the joy, the adventure, the surroundings, that stunning dress, that cool suit. The real and authentic moments and memories that are making this day so special. You did it! You’re married. And you didn’t spend a mini fortune to do it. You did it your way. Just the most important things to keep this day special. You know what life is about, and what your marriage is about. It’s about you doing you, your own unique and beautiful love. It’s about being able to say from today onwards, “good morning husband”, or “hello wife”.
And here’s just a few incredible love stories we’ve helped to capture:
Syjourn and Josh had a laid-back and intimate wedding in the sunken garden of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Their day was family oriented, non-traditional and no fuss. All about being stress free, feeling comfortable and getting married in front of their close family. A perfect little afternoon.
Jake & Abby’s elopement was intimate, easy and them. A gorgeous little ceremony down on the beach with their kids and closest family, followed by sunset portraits on the iconic Blanche Point Cliffs. The perfect little sunset beach elopement.
Sarah & Kain were excited to marry privately, with just the two of them, because it reflected how they are. All about intimacy and simplicity. A stress free day without pressure and gorgeous views looking out over Mount Osmond from a cute little tiny house. We were so lucky with a gorgeous Winter sunset as well. The perfect chilly evening.
Tess and Ben had an intimate and casual elopement at Jacobs Creek Retreat that was all about getting some nice photos and having fun with their friends. All the details were beautiful, and with every guest a part of your bridal party - how could you not have fun?
Jess and Em’s wedding was chilled out and all about going with the flow. Which was easy to do in such a stunning and relaxed location with two beautiful souls in love and ready to get married their way. The flowers were blooming, the sun was shining and happy tears were flowing as heartfelt words were spoken and we frolicked through the brush with kangaroos.
Sarah and Chris had a small and casual elopement with their children and immediate family on the famously beautiful Port Willunga Beach beneath the sandy cliffs. A day about all the good things. Loved ones surrounding you with their love, a soft sunset and of course… getting married!
Sue and Chris had their dream elopement in McLaren Vale with close family watching on. They got ready in a cute little B&B before marrying with sand between toes and waves lapping nearby. After their special ceremony and portraits with loved ones they jumped in their gorgeous classic jag for sunset portraits on the top of the Blanche Point cliffs. It was a magical day!
Courtney & Chris had a relaxed, intimate and joyful elopement bursting with beautiful warm colours amongst the natural rolling hills and scrub of Sinclair’s Gully. With just their small bridal party and Courtney’s dad walking her down the aisle they shared so many smiles and laughs during the ceremony, over delicious bubbles and during their portraits around the lovely, natural scenery. It was a beautiful afternoon!
One of the reasons I love Sinclair’s Gully (besides being married their myself) is the gorgeous and natural setting. You’re just up the hill from the city and yet you’re surrounded by gorgeous scrub and wildlife. Kate and Luke took advantage of this beautiful space by marrying beneath the ghost gum forest. The classic vintage vibe from outfits to styling perfectly blending with the natural greens. Their day was laid back and simple, and yet elegant. A perfect morning!
What can we say? But wow! This was such a special elopement and completely beautiful day. Ashley and Salesi are two down to earth, relaxed, fun loving and beautiful souls. Despite a lost (and then found) wedding ring, temporarily replaced by a seaweed wreath, they had nothing but smiles. The picnic that Laura set up was a bohemian dream overlooking a peacful sea. The cake was delicious! And the sunset to top it all off? After an overcast day with a little gap that the sun peeked through on it’s final journey down to the ocean was just spectacular. A dream day. Thank you for having us!
Beth & Tom’s rustic elopement at Brin Farm in Kangarilla was short, sweet and intimate. And also full of fun and laughter! They approached their marriage in the most beautiful way; relaxed, smiling and happy. Laughing when the beautiful floating arbour joined in with fabric hugs in the wind. A perfect little afternoon in such a stunning location, dressing up, memories, photos, and at the end of their heartfelt ceremony being married!
Steph & Ste’s elopement at Sinclair’s Gully with us was a Bohemian dream! A gorgeous macrame arbour, stunning florals and relaxed vibe. Made even more relaxed by Sinclair’s Gully’s beautiful, native surrounds and Kate’s personal ceremony. Such a special afternoon.
““Absolutely amazing people. It could not have been a more perfect and easy day and we were so grateful to Kate and Sarah for all that they did to make our dreams come true. Two genuine people who embrace and foster love. Thank you xx””
