— A time for the two of you to celebrate your upcoming wedding. Intimate, real, with a laid back setting.

I personally love shooting engagements so, much so that I include an adventure session with my all day package. Engagement sessions are a chance to for us to get to know each other, especially if you are shy in front of the camera... but guess what? You do not need to know what to do! I guide you through the whole session. My sessions are simply laid back, lots of walking, laughing, comfy cosy and romantic. I want to capture your love and friendship. It is all about the emotion.

So, lets create a cosy shoot by the fire, in the back of your ute or van, climb a mountain for that epic sunset shot, you name it we can do it! With every engagement session when booking a wedding, you receive a complimentary wedding Guest Book!

photography: was just Carissa

(thanks recommending K / 14

“Carissa was amazing! I chose Elk and Fir because I loved her style of photography: moody but warm... styled yet natural... and the wedding package we chose just what we were looking for (so many inclusions compared to other photographers)! was so easy to work with, even when our original wedding plans changed Covid) she made our new, not necessarily ideal, plans work. No hesitations in recommending her!!.”

Why Elope

Big elaborate weddings with all the frills are not for everyone… I get it! it is just all too overwhelming… eloping eliminates that stress and allows you to start your lives with an epic adventure, the way you want it. With no rules. Most couples that choose to elope crave a day that reflects their relationship. I can honestly say watching just the two of you looking into each other’s souls swearing the rest of your lives together, all alone on a mountain top taking in the landscape and sweet mountain air or on a secluded island with the sand between your toes… There is nothing more romantic and meaningful!

Just take a minute and imagine eloping to your dream destination?

A destination wedding is completely YOU.

Here’s why -

Scenic Location: Many people opt for a destination wedding to exchange vows in a scenic location. Destination weddings offer the opportunity to get married at a breathtaking location, such as a beach, a castle, a vineyard, or a mountainous region.

Intimate Ceremony: Destination weddings tend to be more intimate because only close family and friends can attend. Couples often choose a destination wedding because they want to keep their wedding celebration small and intimate. Less family drama. If you are looking for a way to cut guest numbers than this will do it

Unique Experience: A destination wedding provides a unique experience for the couple and their guests. It allows them to create unforgettable memories in a different setting.

Less Stressful Planning: Have you seen Father of the Bride? Destination weddings can be less stressful to plan because they often come with a wedding package that includes a wedding planner, venue, and catering. This can reduce the burden on the couple to arrange everything on their own

Extended Celebration: Destination weddings are often longer than traditional weddings, giving the couple and guests more time to enjoy each other’s company, explore the location, and make lasting memories. Plus you are already in your Honeymoon destination!

Overall, a destination wedding/elopement can be a beautiful and memorable way to tie the knot while enjoying a unique and exotic location.

To create and elopement package just contact us! All inclusive packages can be arranged, as well as the minimum quick and simple !

FROM ME TO YOU:

you could have us with such for stopping

can not call wedding?’ I styling or the people. Most to the love

• lil ol me! 21 2023/24 COLLECTIONS

Q— How do we go about enquiring further?

A — after you have reached out we shall organise a meet and greet over coffee or via Zoom! Thanks to Covid Zoom has kinda become the norm and as we are all such busy people Zoom is often the best way. I can accomodate to those that work long hours and have meetings after hours.

Q— Is the reservation fee refundable?

A — unfortunately no as this date will be locked in.

Q— How do you accept payment?

A— EFT, Ezipay, Paypal, how do you want to pay?

Q— What do we do if it’s raining at our engagment session or wedding day?

A—always plan for plan B, I will scope out before your wedding all the what if’s should the rain unleash on us! I have photographed soooo many rainy weddings and all I can say is that I will certainly guide you on this but the best thing to do is take it all in! Oh how creative we can be with photos, and lets face it. It is what it is, you can’t change it and I promise you will still get some kick ass photos. Should it be absolutely terrential? Then we will do a reshoot of your creatives (the photos usually after the wedding) for FREE.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS YOUR NAME PHOTOGRAPHY 22 ELK and FIR WEDDINGS

Q— How many images can we expect from our wedding or engagement session?

A—I don’t limit this. Totally unlimited High RES!!! Colour and Black and White!

Q— Do you post everything online?

A — With you approval I will always post the night after your wedding. Then a select few during your first week. I know that you are super excited to see what we created, and let me assure you so am I.

Q— Do we need a second shooter?

A— I highly recommend a second shooter always. Some of my packages include this. There are so many angles that a single photog can capture on their own. The bride walking down the isle is a given. But imagine another photographer following from a distance behind the bride (or groom), and with a zoom lens focusing on your partners expression! If they are crying then we will capture that!

Q— Do your prices include tax?

A — Yes

Q— Does it cost to have you travel?

A— The Brisbane / Sunshine Coast area is free. All other areas yes however accommodation is FREE too in some areas! I like to stay with family and friends if ever given the chance! Win Win!

Q— What do you shoot with and are you insured?

2018 COLLECTIONS 23 2023/24 COLLECTIONS

A—I am totally insured for gear and PI. I shoot with Canon R5 (the best camera to date) and I also have a back up camera. I shoot with 2 cameras all day. An array of lens. I also carry extra gear for the what if’s.

Q— What is the deposit to book?

A—To book a booking proposal is sent out (electronic). Once this is signed and a $500 deposit is made then you are all booked in and ready to plan away with us! Q—

How early or late can we book?

A—We book out up to 18mths in advance so the quicker you can book the better. Book all your loved wedding vendors asap then you can sit back and relax, plan and budget in advance.

I have had weddings book 1 month before too! Hit me up as you never know, I may just be available, cancellations can happen!

Q— When should we organise our engagement session?

A—Two options, 12 mths prior to your wedding so you can use your gorgeous images for your Save The Date cards! But as long as it is done 2 mths prior leaving me enough time to order your Wedding Guest Book (comes with the All Day package).
