This incredible elopement began at Sofitel Darling Harbour, where Christina and Jay got ready separately with their two witnesses. After capturing their details, we did a quick first look outside the hotel where Jay saw Christina for the first time. Christina looked stunning in her gorgeous Meshki gown, which she had paired with an elegant white silk rose bouquet from Secret Blooms.


We then hopped in an Uber to the Pyrmont Registry, where a simple yet heartfelt ceremony took place with just their two witnesses present. Christina and Jay exchanged their own emotional vows and sealed the moment with engraved Cartier rings.


After the ceremony, we headed outside to take some portraits on the wharf before saying see-you-later to their witnesses and taking another Uber to The Rocks. Christina and Jay strolled hand in hand through the historic cobblestone streets, surrounded by beautiful architecture—the perfect location to capture romantic, intimate, and candid moments.


The final stop of the day was Cardea Sydney, where Christina and Jay reunited with their witnesses to celebrate with champagne and a gorgeous heart-shaped cake from Sweet Avalanche Cakes in one of the cosy booths.
