Guide to eloping, with David Campbell, Religious Marriage Celebrant

We’ve heard it time and time again, “planning a wedding is a full-time job – maybe we should just elope!” 

Thanks to the rising cost of living and the pandemic, more Aussie brides and grooms are choosing to elope, or opting for micro weddings of five people.  

Logistically, eloping is much easier than planning a full-blown wedding. 

The opinions of your family and friends don’t enter into the planning; you and your partner get to call all the shots, and then promptly ride off into the sunset where your honeymoon awaits. 

Still, eloping requires some preparation, especially if you are considering it to be your legal wedding. 

Local Religious Marriage Celebrant and provider of “legal only weddings”, David Campbell, shares the top things to consider for even the most scaled-back of nuptials.  

If you’re seeking an intimate and affordable wedding experience, it’s a good idea to find an authorised and experienced celebrant like David. That way, your celebrant can square away all the legal requirements, and you two can focus on each other. 

Whether your wedding has five guests, or a guest list of 500, a marriage celebrant like David can keep the actual ‘marriage’ part to four simple steps:  

  1. Confirm availability 
  2. Provide Notice of Intended Marriage 
  3. Do a marriage interview 
  4. Show up to the ceremony  

Many people use the terms ‘officiant’ and ‘marriage celebrant’ interchangeably. However, if you’ve watched YouTube videos of #weddingfails, then you know just how important it is to have a professional who is legally qualified to conduct marriages and to steer the ceremony. In Australia, you must be married by a legally registered Celebrant. 

After serving in the Royal Australian Navy for many years, and now running his own business, a marriage celebrant like David won’t crack under pressure (meddling wedding guests won’t have any sway here). 

With eight years of experience, and about to perform his hundredth wedding, he can provide answers to questions you didn’t even know you had (another must).  

There are other reasons to hire a trained marriage celebrant: Privacy, confidentiality, and knowledge to draw upon in the planning process. But most of all, you know you are getting the best professional service when celebrating your special day. 

Even if you’re eloping, you want someone who understands the importance of ceremony. 

“It’s never as simple as ‘come in and sign the document’,” says David.  

“I always aim to provide a wedding that you can look back on and remember, no matter the size.”

What do you still need to consider before you elope? 

  1. We’ve all seen The Graduate – running away just the two of you is super romantic – but you can’t get married without a celebrant. “Don’t put the cart before of the horse,” says David. “A lot of brides and grooms spend months on the trimmings: finding the location, booking the flowers and the photographer. Then, about a month beforehand, they realise they haven’t booked anyone to marry them!”  
  2. You have to give one month’s notice. In Australia, that’s the law. Doesn’t matter if you’re eloping or having a micro wedding, you need to provide a Notice of Intended Marriage at a minimum, a month before the nuptials. “There is a flip side,” says David. “The notice is valid for 18 months.” So, don’t wait too long to walk down the aisle.   
  3. Make sure you have all of your identity documents ready. “Particularly with short-notice weddings that are happening in a month’s time, it’s best to have those documents ready to go.” This is especially important if either of you has been married before, as you will need official proof the previous marriage has ended.  
  4. It’s YOUR wedding. Have an idea of what you want it to look like, and let your celebrant know. “Just because it’s micro, doesn’t mean it can’t be special,” says David. Sure, you don’t want a big guest list. But do you want to toss rose petals? Do you want music? Do you want to read from that obscure poem that only the two of you know?  

And that’s it! Book a celebrant greater than one month out, have your important documents ready, and make the ceremony your own. Wham, bam, you’re married.  

David also makes the beautiful handmade timber pen you will use to sign your wedding documents, as your first gift as a married couple. 

If that’s a bit too minimalist for you, do we have good news! 

Sign up for a full-size wedding with David Campbell, and you can receive free accommodation at the honeymoon destination of your choice! 

The voucher includes up to seven nights’ accommodation (conditions apply), with 100+ locations available in every state in Australia, as well as New Zealand, Bali, Thailand, Fiji, Europe, and India. 

Whether you want to elope or have a big fairy-tale wedding, there’s no downside to getting married by David Campbell.  


Katrina Burgers Photography Bridal Boudoir Experience

Congratulations on your engagement!

You have found the PERFECT Wedding gown and the PERFECT bridal lingerie set. You get to have photos in your gorgeous dress all day, but when it comes to your amazing lingerie, after all that searching for the perfect outfit, it really doesn’t get much time being celebrated does it? Please enter the room – Bridal Boudoir.

This is such an exciting time in your life and having this experience with your bridal lingerie is one way to add that element of surprise to your partner and a fabulous way to remember your dream Wedding day! Imagine having your portraits in your lingerie and veil, and gifting a luxurious album of your photos to your partner on your Wedding night – or Wedding morning if you want to leave them in suspense!

Katrina Burgers

What is a Bridal Boudoir Experience?

Boudoir portraits are not just “photo sessions”, they are so much more than that. It’s an experience, where you start your day off being pampered by a professional Hair and Makeup Artist. We then move in to the studio and take the most stunning photos of you in your bridal lingerie. You might like to bring your veil, your Wedding heels and garter, and anything else that you feel is significant for your photos. You get to see yourself transform from your everyday to your inner Bridal Goddess – a powerful transformation where you leave feeling different to when you arrived.

You are, of course, welcome to bring additional lingerie sets to have photographed as well, because, why not!? You will then get to see all of your photos and choose the ones you love right on the spot! In the following days, the final editing touches are added and ordering of your printed options happens – a deluxe album or stunning image box and, of course, the uploading of your digital gallery. 

When to book?

It is important to plan your booking date ahead of time, to allow for your stunning digital photos and beautiful handmade products to be delivered before your Wedding. No later than five weeks before your Wedding date is suggested but, of course, earlier than that is perfect! 

Who is Katrina Burgers Photography?

I’ve been a Professional Photographer in Canberra for the last 10 years, with my range of experience spanning across Maternity, Newborn, Family, Women’s Glamour and Boudoir. I always deliver high quality imagery, digital galleries, and archival quality printed products to my amazing clients.

Testimonials

“You were right, I left feeling different to when I arrived. I can’t believe that those photos are me! I’m even wearing my hair differently at work today!” – Ash

“I’d never had a boudoir photo shoot before and I was so nervous thinking there was no way I could do it because I do not see myself as sexy, but we had such a fun time doing the session. Katrina made me feel so at ease and we laughed and laughed and laughed! I just can’t believe how good Katrina is, she just knows all the right things, lighting, getting you to smile or just the right pose.” – Jodie

A Celebrant In Time

Hello Ro Photography: Photographer vs Storyteller

Traditionally, photographers were hired to take those posed photographs at a wedding … You know, the ones where you’re standing stiffly next to Great Aunt Mildred who you haven’t seen since childhood whilst staring awkwardly into a lens held by someone you don’t know. And what you’re left with is just that, an uneasy looking photograph and an uncomfortable memory. For the most part, I’ve loathed having my photo taken because I know this experience all too well. This was one of the reasons I was inspired to become a photographer. 

Ro
Hello Ro Photography creates a comfortable space to capture your special moments.

My approach is to create a comfortable space for you to be the most authentic version of yourself. To share stories and create amazing memories during your special moments. The photos should be a wonderful by-product of these times, capturing the tears, joy, little glances or touches you share with your loved ones. I am a storyteller. 

Here are 7 things I think are really important when choosing the person to tell your story: 

1. Have a chat, find someone you vibe with and you trust to be with you in those intimate moments. You want someone who’s going to feel like a best friend, comfortable and supportive. 

2. They should be experienced and be able to help answer your questions and talk you through the process.

3. Make sure they can put you at ease and be a calming influence amongst the chaos. 

4. Find someone who can help your find your best angle and give you ‘unposed’ activities so you can forget about the camera and really enjoy your time. 

5. They should be observant and have an eye for detail, someone who’s going to see those fleeting moments and unique facial expressions that others may miss, and capture them authentically.

6. They should be able to see and bring out the best in everyone by taking beautiful images with creativity and imagination. 

7. Someone with passion for what they do and someone who’s completely committed to telling your story.

Have you booked a storyteller for your wedding yet?
