"I really wanted to showcase that a beach elopement can be super modern and fun! This shoot was a styled shoot for my content retreat @elevate.retreats where attending a content building retreat elevates your portfolio and sparks creativity!
I loved how the sunnies and veil brought an edge to it as well." Hayley shares. You can join the waitlist for the next Elevate Retreat here.




highlights.
The couple were absolutely incredible! They just knew how to move and interact with each other so well. We even beat the weather as the rain didn't stay for long and the rest of the shoot was fine.
location.
I love Jervis Bay - the colours of the sand and water make it such a unique part of Australia!





favourite detail.
The florals from @arc.eventsandweddings were exactly as I wanted! I love neutrals with a modern twist and that’s exactly what Aaron created.
favourite moment.
When we popped the bottle of Champagne!! Such a fun way to end the shoot.
