Adelaide Engagement Photos – Engagement Photographer for Elopements & Micro Weddings

Thinking about eloping or planning a micro wedding in Adelaide?

A lot of couples who find KISS Package are in the same place.

They know they don’t want a big traditional wedding.

They’re thinking about an Adelaide elopement or a micro wedding in South Australia.

But they’re not quite sure where to start.

Instead of jumping straight into planning a wedding, there’s a simple first step.

Come and spend an hour with me for a relaxed engagement photo session in Adelaide.

No pressure.

No expectations.

Just photos, a walk, and a conversation about what your wedding could look like.

Engagement photo session offer

Normally these Adelaide engagement photo sessions are $500.

For couples considering a KISS Package elopement or micro wedding, I’m offering them for $250.

And if you decide to book your wedding with KISS Package, the $250 comes straight off your wedding package.

That means many couples end up with their engagement photos included in their wedding booking.

A relaxed Adelaide engagement photo session

These engagement sessions are one hour and available in:

• Adelaide
• Port Willunga

Port Willunga is one of my favourite locations for engagement photos in South Australia.

The cliffs, the beach, and the soft evening light make it one of the most beautiful places for couples photography near Adelaide.

Adelaide also offers great locations for engagement photos, including:

• Adelaide Botanic Gardens ( Permit fees apply )
• city parks and laneways
• coastal locations
• places that are meaningful to you both

The goal isn’t stiff poses or awkward photos.

It’s simply to capture natural engagement photos that feel relaxed and real.

Why couples do engagement photos before their wedding

One thing I’ve noticed over many years working as an Adelaide wedding photographer is this:

Most couples have never had professional photos taken together before.

An engagement shoot gives you a chance to:

• feel comfortable in front of the camera
• get to know your photographer
• relax before your wedding day
• have beautiful photos together before the wedding

It also gives us time to talk through your wedding ideas.

Whether you’re planning:

• a legals-only ceremony in Adelaide
• an Adelaide Hills elopement
• a Port Willunga beach elopement
• or a small micro wedding in South Australia

we can talk through what your wedding day could look like.

A simple way to start planning your wedding

Planning a wedding doesn’t need to begin with stress.

It can start with something simple.

A walk.
A conversation.
A few photos together.

And seeing if a KISS elopement or micro wedding in Adelaide feels right for you.
