A Change of Plans Leads to a Flinders Elopement
Lucy and Daniel had always envisioned a grand wedding celebration. Initially, Lucy and Daniel had big plans, but when the global pandemic struck, they had to quickly change their approach. Instead they made the bold decision to embrace the unexpected and create an intimate elopement in Flinders. This allowed them to fully enjoy the stunning surroundings of the Mornington Peninsula.
A Laid-Back Start to their Mornington Peninsula Wedding
The day began at a local motel, where Lucy and Daniel chose to get ready together. As they settled in, a relaxed and casual atmosphere was created, allowing them to focus entirely on each other. This laid-back approach not only set the tone for their Flinders Elopement but also made it feel more personal and stress-free from the very start.
A Ceremony at Shoreham Pines
They exchanged their vows at the breathtaking Shoreham Pines, where the location provided the perfect backdrop. Additionally, the peaceful setting of the Mornington Peninsula perfectly complemented their intimate elopement. Following the ceremony, they enjoyed a romantic portrait session along the dramatic cliffs and coastline of Flinders. As a result, the combination of the couple’s love and the natural beauty created truly magical photographs.
