Who are we?

 

 

Welcome to Elope and Capture, where we bring together the perfect team to make your dream elopement a reality. Our team is made up of three passionate professionals, each dedicated to creating a seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable elopement experience.


Fiona, your incredible celebrant, The Gordon Family who provide us with a gorgeous location, and Sarah your amazing photographer!

 

the location

 

Nestled at the base of the Watagan Mountains, Wilde Studios and Farm is a unique and stunning venue for your elopement - where natural beauty meets rustic charm. This 40 acre property has been the Gordon family home for over 30 years. Narelle the avid gardner began cultivating the landscape from the beginning which has resulted in lush advanced gardens and orchards. Landscaping work continues with new areas being created so there is always something on show and featuring year round. Jess & Chimi have purpose built flower fields, and weatherproof locations like the glasshouse and villa along with collected vintage vehicles so that there is endless options for beautiful imagery. Surrounded by lush forests, tranquil open spaces, llamas & a beautiful vineyard, this unique venue offers an intimate and enchanting setting for couples looking to escape the ordinary. With so many options an elopement customised to your unique style is all possible in the one venue.

our photographer

At Elope and Capture, we believe every love story deserves to be beautifully told – and that’s where Sarah comes in! Since 2018, Sarah has been capturing heartfelt family moments across Lake Macquarie, and in 2021, she fell in love with photographing intimate elopements.

With a keen eye for natural light, raw emotions, and those magical little in-between moments, Sarah ensures that every couple walks away with stunning, timeless images to cherish forever. Whether it’s a quiet vow exchange in the Glasshouse or a romantic sunset kiss, she’s there to capture it all.
