25.01.2022 Lisa & Marcus in Lorne Back when we didn’t know what this year had in store for us Just a little update - we’re here for you even though we stopped running family & newborn sessions and commercial shoots involving meeting with people at this stage. If you have an elopement planned and it’s really important for you to make it happen right now, under Stage 3 restrictions (regional Vic), we can help you out with video & photography but we would also have to be your witnesses... and you’d have to be wearing masks outside of your legal ceremony. But we’re planning some really awesome things beyond the 6 weeks

25.01.2022 This is how we felt when we got the negative rona test results, whoop whoop! All cleared, what a relief On the session with Britt and Tom we asked them to imagine and perform their bridal party entrance omg we absolutely cant wait to see and capture it haha! Just look at them - their wedding will be so much fun @ Great Ocean Road

23.01.2022 We may be almost as excited as Hayley & Rob entering their reception, and if you want to know why, check our story!

23.01.2022 Whoa what a start to the week! As we’re getting eaten by anxiety waiting for our covid test results (got a text we have 24-48 hours more of waiting ) we thought we would focus on the good things and let you know about a few updates! Last week, we put together and sent out a big email with a ton of useful FAQs for all our brides and grooms to be. So if your wedding is anytime in the future, you should have received it - if you haven’t, please check your spam :) It has all th...e questions we’ve been asked so far answered plus all the advice on how to go about planning a few different scenarios based on what the restrictions may be at any given time. Hope you guys find it helpful and if you have any other questions, we’re here for you, ready to help out! Also, we really want to thank so much all our couples who got in touch to discuss their options and came up with alternative solutions for their weddings. You guys are the best clients one can dream of and we’re so so grateful you are so flexible and amazing about working around what’s currently happening. Legends! If you go to our website, you may find almost all pages stopped working and the home page has a new look - this is because behind the scenes we’ve been working on updating our website and we absolutely cannot wait to share it with you soon (about the 1st of Sep)! We also can’t wait to share with you super exciting things that are in the works and involve partnering with the awesome @kateurencelebrant (btw have you seen her new shiny website?!) and our all time favourites and best in the wedding business @elderberryeventhire . So stay tuned, some awesome things are coming! Photo of Lisa & Marcus in Lorne in January - back when life was a bit easier we’d say :P

22.01.2022 Last Friday we welcomed our new venture @elopementsbythesea to the world (together with our cool as mate @kateurencelebrant) and we couldn’t be more excited about it! We have some really great collaborations coming your way so our couples can have a truly wonderful experience but in the meantime we went 180 degrees - Regional Vic is coming out of lockdown! We are so happy about it but this also means re-adjusting to new rules and finding out what we are and aren’t allowed to do as a business because things are different to what they were pre-lockdown 2.0 so just give us some time and we’ll get back to you about your newborn, family or couple sessions hope you all will enjoy seeing your friends or family again

22.01.2022 Two lovers by the sea cuddling up to stay warm

21.01.2022 You may have seen or heard - we’re looking for two lovers that we’ll be gifting an elopement package complete with a one-of-a-kind ceremony by the awesome @kateurencelebrant and photography and videography by us! But that’s not the end - we’ll be also gifting the lucky winners a grazing box by @ganeshlovestograze and they’ll be able to enjoy it in our newly revamped vintage caravan If you’re a couple who are looking to elope, head over to @elopementsbythesea and follow the steps that will take you to our online form in which we’re asking you why is important for you to elope

21.01.2022 The secret is out! Finally we can share with you @elopementsbythesea - a new venture we’ve been working on for the last few months with our friend and an amazing celebrant @kateurencelebrant ! Elopements hold a very special place in our hearts as this is how we (Hanna & Zach) got married over 5 years ago back in London - with only 10 people witnessing our special moment, and we would do it all over again! Focused on intimate, relaxed and fun elopement style and micro wedding...s, Elopements By The Sea will make our couples’ wedding dreams come true in the stunning locations that surround us - Greater Geelong, Bellarine, Surf Coast and Golden Plains. Unique ceremonies by @kateurencelebrant , light and airy photos by Hanna and cinematic videos by Zach @handzaroundvideophotography (+ stunning micro wedding receptions by @elderberryeventhire ) - this is what we’ll be delivering to all our couples who decide to get married only with their nearest and dearest in an intimate way. Because after all, love doesn’t end where rona starts so we gotta keep going! Go give us a follow @elopementsbythesea and follow our adventures on www.elopementsbythesea.com !

21.01.2022 Last week we had this magical couple session with Alex & Tom. When we asked them to pick one word to describe their relationship, they said: best-friends After hanging out with them that afternoon, we couldn’t agree more on the choice of that one word

20.01.2022 We had a pleasure of hanging out with these wonderful people a few times now (swipe to see :) and every time we photograph them, we forget we’re at work because they’re so easy-going, fun and in love! So when Liz and Brad asked us to photograph their sweet family because they’ve just welcomed baby Isabelle, we were so happy and honoured! Little Isabelle had a perfect timing of being born and having her photos taken in between lockdowns And here she is, surrounded by the most loving family (including her super cool & clever older sisters)

17.01.2022 Happy Birthday to the funnest toddler - Naomi - pretty much a star of these photos Getting a sibling photo including a toddler is an evolving story so we’ll just leave you with these photos of the three adorable sisters! ___ #geelongnewborn #geelongnewbornphotography #geelongnewbornphotographer #geelongphotographer #babygirl #geelongmums #geelongbaby #newbornphotography #geelonglife #geelongfamilyphotographer #geelonglifestylephotographer #babiesofgeelong @ Geelong, Victoria

16.01.2022 New beginnings _ Look at this tiny head aren’t humans just incredible!

15.01.2022 We do feel like a beer after this crazy week hopefully our beer won’t end up where Gerry’s groomsman’s beer did (although Gerry’s reaction was priceless ) @ Geelong, Victoria

14.01.2022 Ahh Chay & Brad had the most perfect secret elopement! They became husband & wife in an intimate, family atmosphere in the beautiful Otway bush and made it all happen just in time, woohoo! Thanks for having us guys - so honoured to capture this special moment for you and can't wait to share more with you <3 ______...

14.01.2022 Okay. We don't know how to express it, but maybe you know that feeling too - we think it's pretty difficult to actually represent ourselves on socials and reflect exactly who we are and what we're like in real life, simply by using visuals and words. But we keep on trying (when we remember to post)! We are deep thinkers (Hanna mostly haha, Zach occasionally ) and have lots of opinions and/or thoughts about different things in life or in the world. Buuut what we...'ve learnt over the years of working with heaps of people in different environments and through years of travelling around the world (& meeting others whilst staying anywhere from mud huts to tents to hostels to luxurious hotels) that we are open minded and we can always find something that connects us with other people, doesn't matter how different their opinions or likes/dislikes are to ours. We think that a good laugh and a drink (whether it's milk*, coffee, tea, beer or a fancy cocktail) is often a common ground That's why whenever we meet others, we like to keep it lighthearted, drop some puns and have a good time! And, we sometimes bring some wine to our sessions because there is always an occasion to celebrate! It was a day after Tom's birthday and Alex & Tom are getting married in a few months so we couldn't miss the opportunity for a small cheers on the beach ______ *milk because when we were in Rwanda, we were sitting in front of 'milk bars' and cheer each other with glasses of milk! You literally just go out for a glass of milk, isn't that cool?! See more

14.01.2022 How are you all feeling at the moment? Are you seeing silver linings in the lockdown 2.0 or is it one big struggle? It’s okay to feel all sorts of things Over here we’re going through lots of mood swings - once we’re happy about the lockdown because we can slow down, simply be together, catch up on work and take up little projects around our home but then we remember about our clients and their special occasions that have to wait to be celebrated, our friends and our family who we can’t see and the trips we can’t go on and we’re completely shattered. We look back at lots of photos and films though (like this one of Sarah and Gerry ) and remember that good times, even though they might be different to what we’ve known, will be here before we know it!

12.01.2022 Smile, it's the weekend we have some fun memories from that shoot with Lisa & Marcus in Lorne, as you can see in the proof attached

11.01.2022 Guys we've just added important updates to our stories and to our highlights - please check them out. We’ll be in touch with you all once we have some definitive answers! Gotta wait!

10.01.2022 We’ll be revealing something seriously special at 7pm on @elopementsbythesea stay tuned and definitely follow along! We hope all of you in Regional Vic enjoyed the first weekend of ‘freedom’ and sun and for everyone in Melbourne - you’re not far off so hang in there pals

08.01.2022 Well we can’t say we didn’t see that coming but lockdown 2.0 is definitely not the best news... but we hope that you, like us, got your fix of nature, *socially distanced* catchups with friends & family and some yummy food at your local cafes and restaurants At least the lockdown makes all those things, which are usually taken for granted, very special. And we are so grateful we were able to have the last few weeks filled with some really amazing photo and video shoots an...d even squeezed in a couple of elopements and newborn shoots Now we’ll be taking a break from all the shoots but we’ll be here, at home, editing the last few weeks’ worth of projects and staying in touch with you all behind the scenes. So if there is anything you want to ask about, be it your now postponed shoot, anything about your print/products order or anything that will help you with your wedding planning, reach out And if things seem a bit hard or annoying at times, feel free to do a little dance like Britt & Tom (and feel free to pretend the Twelve Apostles are your background ) @ Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road

08.01.2022 Throwback to two years ago - Erin, Stuart, Harper and Brodie picnicking in Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens

07.01.2022 What are you up to these days? We are staying on top of our editing (finally have enough time to edit as we go, without things piling up ), scheduling and doing sessions that have been booked long before lockdown and those new ones too, and finishing off the renos of our caravan which we started during the lockdown

06.01.2022 We’ve just realised we’ve never shared this fun session from last summer! Hands down we suck at sharing things on socials, updating our portfolio and trying to publish the blog posts from the shoots but the good things is that this is because we invest all our time into the actual sessions, planning them and delivering them to all of you, lovely folks always looking for silver linings!

05.01.2022 Before and after we love seeing you guys again for whatever occasion it might be! But our favourite thing ever is definitely seeing you again to meet your little human little Reuben at few weeks old managed to get some baby photos in between lockdowns

03.01.2022 Madi and Sarah (& Scout the doggo) were so much fun! We couldn’t stop laughing the whole time we were with them thanks for having this session with us ladies Also, you can follow the journey of Madi and Sarah raising their daughter Sadie over here @two.mums.and.a.bub - we can’t get enough of looking at the cute photos of the little legend they’re raising ... ___ #twomums #lgbtfamily #samesexcouple #geelong #geelongphotographer #geelongcreatives #geelongfamily #onthebeach #geelongfamilyphotographer #geelongcouplesphotography @ Geelong, Victoria See more

03.01.2022 Enjoy some beautiful music by Matt Baird in this little vid filmed by us at the Dont Poke the BEAR studio :) Good tunes always brighten our mood (not that our moods are not brightened af by the fact we're coming out of lockdown haha!) *don't you worry - we were staying safe + masks are allowed to be taken off when the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication/work.

02.01.2022 We hope all the dads had a wonderful day yesterday! We couldn’t spend it with our dads (one is in Europe and one is in Melbourne ) but we sent them some real yummy things to thank them for being amazing. We also kept all those children in mind who don’t have dads in their lives and those dads who can’t be with/dont have their children. We are so grateful we come across so many awesome dads during our sessions we can see the special connections children have with their fathers and it’s beautiful to witness and capture. We always hope that one day the littles can look back at their childhood photos and say yep, my dad has always been an absolute legend!
