Phillippa & James’ Fitzroy Gardens Elopement

A super cute and intimate elopement in the heart of Melbourne

Tell me about the beginning!

We met 10 years ago in highschool at 15 (P) and 17 (J). Our first date was at the movies watching How to Train Your Dragon.

When and where did you get engaged?

We got engaged on August 16th 2022 (A day before James' 25th Birthday). James organised a surprise trip to hawaii as Phillippa had just completed her post-grad study. Phillippa was surprised the entire time, from the actual trip and the proposal. At no point did she suspect a thing. It was really special though, James had gorgeous luxe picnic a set up on a beach, catered with wine and cheese and a photographer there waiting.

What style/theme have you chosen for your Wedding Day?

My wedding look is definitely inspired by Kourtney Kardashian's wedding dress. But it wasn't until I was choosing my veil that I had been so heavily inspired by her

What are you most looking forward to on the day?

Finally being married!! Also we are just happy to be spending the day together doing something fun, intentional and just for us

Top Tips!

Do what makes you both happy. Take everyone else's desires out of the equation and do the plans that won't leave you stressed.

Wow, how bloody cute are these two?! Probably the smallest wedding I have ever done, and it was just perfect. Head to my elopement page for more information on how I can capture your fun day.
