Elope
An intimate gathering - a tale of two - a story to be shared - the celebration of you.
Whether you see yourself exchanging vows whilst hosting your very own sun-soaked soirée / Sailing across the Amalfi Coast / Perched on a cliff edge in Greece / Roaming around a castle in the South of France / Wining and dining your favourite folks at a garden party in the Hunter Valley Vineyards / Drinking champagne as you shuck fresh oysters in Tasmania / Relaxing on a rooftop in Melbourne / Watching as the Sydney Opera House fades into the background during a Harbour Cruise / Enjoying a meal at one of Byron Bay’s most iconic restaurants or devouring the world’s best margarita at your favourite bar in Newy - we want to be there.
We’ve been a part of so many special moments - big and small - in public and in private - all completely personal and brilliantly unique! We’ve told so many stories, celebrated so many connections, and contributed to so much FUN! When you book an elopement with us, you’re unlocking the culmination of everything we’ve learned and everything we’ve experienced, to date. We can give you unlimited ideas and inspiration to personalise each element of your wedding day, or you can take the lead and we’ll bend over backwards to make sure all your dreams come true.

Kind Words
Tilly and Lachie
There are no words to explain how SPECIAL Loz and Rhys made our day. My husband and I eloped, just the two of us in Amalfi. Unbelievably, these two ANGELS were happy to meet us in this place (which none of us had ever been), to capture our special day. We had no idea what we were doing, where we were going, what the day was even supposed to look like!! But having Loz and Rhys there felt like having our best mates along for the ride. Loz is an absolute vibe QUEEN and made our day that much better. She was like the bridesmaid I never had and absolutely nailed it. So helpful, kind and hyped us up massively. Rhys is incredibly talented with what has does behind that camera. Our photos are like something out of a magazine but you can completely see our personalities and relationship in them, it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t dream of a better team, we are SO grateful.

LOZZY & RHYS!!!! WHAT A TEAM
We booked the Hungry Hearts team for our elopement in Europe in August, 2023.
MY GOODNESS we could not have booked a better team. They came with a glowing recommendation, then with an Instagram stalk we knew these were OUR PEOPLE.
Loz has done so much more for me than just regular celebrant business, she was there as my hype woman/advice giver/co-ordinator/behind the scenes snapper, but best of all story teller. I have never heard a more beautiful wedding ceremony before! She had me laughing and crying all at once. It felt as though she was the third wheel in our relationship, a fly on the wall in our home - how she described us so picture perfectly in our truest forms still has me mind blown! What an amazing human not only the best in the business at her job, she has the heart of gold to go with it! I could not of imagined my day being as great as it was without her. I have my most cherished memory of all time and I could not of picked a better human to bring it together. I could cry of gratitude when I think of how much Loz brought to our day.
Rhys was our videographer for our Positano elopement and he was SO INSANELY amazing.
Being in front of a camera (other than an iphone) is not something we have ever done before, so I was nervous of how my husband Shannon would go, as he’s a one and done kind of picture guy. It turns out he LOVED the camera and the camera loved him! Our team made the experience so much fun and so natural. The moments Rhys captured are so fun/so us/so perfect! We would give anything to relive our wedding day - but having that memory feels pretty bloody amazing (we've probably watched the video 1074729 times each day since we got it). The Super8 film feels so nostalgic and I can't believe I have that to cherish forever.
Rhys worked SO SEAMLESSLY AND BEAUTIFULLY with our photographer Khara from House of Lucie - they brought such good vibes and EVEN MORE SPECTACULAR WORK.
We had the honour of enjoying these phenomenal humans twice, as my best friend brought them on board for her wedding, where I was MOH. Being in front of the camera with Rhys again felt so natural and fun. It honestly felt as though we were all just hanging out!!! His work captures real moments, and he makes it look and feel all too easy. He captures perfect moments so effortlessly - how he does it, I don't know!!
This is the team YOU NEED for your wedding day, they are incredible humans in every way possible & we know 10000 times over our elopement would not of been as amazing as it was without them. They go above and beyond and we are completely and utterly obsessed with them.

Loz and Rhys from Hungry Hearts Co are seriously the best in the business!! From the very first message, they oozed so much enthusiasm, kindness and knowledge. My husband and I eloped in Italy and Loz was literally like my step in bridesmaid. She was there to help me every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure that our day was an encapsulation of us as a couple. Loz really took the time to get to know us and has such a way at making everyone feel like a million dollars! Rhys also captured our day and every emotion that came with it so perfectly, what a talented human! Not only does he know how to work a camera, but his easy going nature and positive energy made us feel so comfortable. Being an elopement, we didn’t have any loved ones there which was a bit nerve inducing, however having these two with us made us feel so at ease and felt like getting married in front of a couple of lifelong friends (even though we had just met). What an absolute power duo these two are, they are so incredibly talented at what they do, and their passion for their work and their couples really does beam through. If you are thinking about eloping, I cannot recommend Hungry Hearts Co more highly!
Qs & As
-
Here’s a fun fact you never asked for!
Legally, you are required to have two witnesses present to watch your wedding ceremony (start to finish, front to back) and sign your marriage documents. Those two folks need to be 18 or over and y’know, pay attention.
In saying that, for this package in particular, you can have anywhere between 2 and around 30 guests.
FUN!

Goodness gracious, where CAN’T you elope?
Depending on what you’re into and where you’d like to go, we’ve got lots of suggestions and recommendations up our socks.
Just ask us!
-
Absolutely, yes, a trillion percent.
Nothing would bring us more joy!
We’ve got lots of great ideas and we can’t wait to share them all!
-
The best guide for what to expect in your gallery is roughly 100 photos per hour of shooting. Sometimes there’s a little more!
-
Wild Ones: Usually 15-20 minutes, but can be longer or shorter on request! This is a completely unique story, written from scratch. It’s light hearted, honest and sincere but equally hilarious. All my words are based on the true tales you share with me and sprinkled with (read: smothered in) plenty of exaggeration for entertainment value. There’s no fluff or filler, it’s good stuff only!
Quick Hitch: This is the equivalent to a registry wedding. It’s really just bare basics - the legal components! There’s no personalisation, so in total, this is roughly 1 minute talking time for me. HOWEVER, i’m more than happy to weave in a ring exchange/the ‘I do’s’ and help you write some personal vows, which can extend the ceremony to about 5 minutes.

Only if you use the magic word.

Indeed you will! A few brews and some quality banter is the perfect mix to get you nice and comfortable with us before the big/small/medium day.
We want you to feel relaxed, confident and free to be the most authentic version of yourselves.
If for any reason the timing doesn’t work out or a pre-wedding meeting is logistically impossible, we can chat over the phone or do a zoom. Easy! :)
