i’m all about this —
CHILL VIBES + BIG ROMANCE + EPIC STORIES
I’m so stoked you’re here!
When my husband & I got married in 2013, elopements were only just beginning to gain popularity. All I wanted to do was stand on a rooftop terrace in Santorini with my immediate family & then spend a few weeks travelling around Europe for our honeymoon. I’d started to see these sorts of weddings pop up & I thought they were literally the most incredible way of getting married I’d ever seen. My husband was on board & when we excitedly shared our thoughts we were told by so many people that we would regret not having a big wedding. To this day, the only thing we actually regret is listening to those voices that tried to tell us the only way to get married was to do it the traditional way.
This is why I am so passionate about doing what you want to do when you get married.
I’ve created this Elopement guide to help you plan your dream elopement in Tasmania. I have a few packages, however I can also create an experience entirely unique to you.
Please get in touch with your ideas & we can plan something together from there.
Elopements can be whatever you want them to be. The only thing they should be is true to yourselves.
Love, Kelsea xo
“Kelsea was kind, patient, and unbelievably generous with her time and energy. She balanced this perfectly with professionalism, being easily contactable and organised. Kelsea's photos speak to her talent and attention to detail. She captured our day so perfectly, drawing on all those beautiful personal moments and creating something so breathtaking that we will cherish forever.
We are so grateful to Kelsea and truely can't recommend her highly enough.”

PACKAGES & PRICING
Build your dream elopement package!
One-of-a-Kind Elopement Experience Design.
These elopement packages are centred on telling the story of your day, and who you are as a couple in this moment of your lives. They are adventure & experience focused, with you firmly at the heart of it all.
Each experience is designed as a relaxed, sight-seeing photographic journey. That might look like a road trip to a nearby national park, hiking to a lookout for sweeping panoramic views, fly-fishing in an alpine stream, or shucking oysters by the water’s edge.
Every elopement is distinctly Tasmanian & thoughtfully shaped to feel entirely your own.
Through our planning & consultation process, I work closely with you to craft a day that is deeply meaningful, beautifully paced & genuinely enjoyable — one you’ll find yourselves reminiscing on for the rest of your lives.
These packages involve hands-on planning & thoughtful curation which will allow you to fully immerse yourselves in the wilds of Tasmania while I take care of the details.

-
After sending through an enquiry & having your initial consult, I just require a $500 a non-refundable deposit to hold your date. The balance is then due 4 weeks before your elopement date.
During this time we keep in touch & I am available for assistance with planning, recommendations & obtaining permits (required for photography in national parks & on crown land).
-
The minimum amount of people that can be present during a legal marriage ceremony is 5 - you, your partner, your celebrant & two witnesses. If you don’t want your witnesses to be anyone you know, I am happy to stand in & assist with a second witness.
I also don’t put up any photos on social media or my website without your permission, so I promise your secret is safe with me! -
Yes of course you can. I completely understand that sometimes things happen that are beyond our control & you may need to reschedule. You are allowed one free-of-charge date change within 12 months of your original date. If your new date isn’t available we can discuss options!
You can also change your mind on which package you would like up to 4 weeks prior to your wedding.
Also, if we need a little extra time on your elopement day, that is totally ok too! We can discuss options if required. -
I don’t provide USBs as standard in my packages. This is to ensure that you receive your images on a secure online gallery that you can share quickly & easily with your family and friends. It also ensures that your images are safe on the cloud and not gathering dust on a USB.
If you would like to purchase a USB package you can do so through your online gallery once your photos have been delivered.
-
There is a mandatory permit required for ceremonies & photos within a national park. For more information see: https://parks.tas.gov.au/things-to-do/weddings.

Yes, absolutely. I am very passionate about sustainable ecotourism & minimising my ecoenvironmental impact.
I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful state, full of so many incredible national parks and unique flora & fauna. My commitment to the environment includes living a low waste life, minimising my carbon footprint by lifestyle choices & ensuring that I adhere to the 7 principles of leave no trace.
I am also passionate about breaking generational poverty through child sponsorship with compassion — our sponsor child Didier lives in Nicaragua & we hope to visit him one day! -
You may notice that my elopement packages are priced differently to my full-day wedding coverage. My Adventure Elopements are an entirely different kind of experience, both creatively & logistically.
When you elope, I’m not only there to photograph your day. I’m also closely involved in location scouting, timeline planning, and shaping an experience that feels intentional, unhurried, and deeply personal. From the moment you book, I’m hands-on in helping bring your vision to life & ensuring your day unfolds with ease.
Unlike larger wedding days where I can work more quietly in the background alongside a broader planning team, elopements often involve more one-on-one time, more time actively photographing, and a greater level of planning support throughout the lead-up.
For couples working with experienced elopement planners such as Wilderness Weddings or Pop Up Weddings Tasmania, I offer a 10% discount on my ‘The Intrepid Explorers’ and ‘The Wild Romantics’ packages as the planning load is shared.
Kelsea is a very talented photographer and we were absolutely thrilled to receive our wedding photos as they perfectly sum up the private, nature loving people we are. I constantly look at the images and will happily say they are absolutely stunning. — Katie & John
