For Niamh and Darren, their elopement wasn’t abo For Niamh and Darren, their elopement wasn’t about grand statements or big crowds. It was about their family. Their daughters. Their joy. It was about making space for presence, connection, and meaning.⁠ ⁠ Set among the vines at Frog’s Pond Winery, their day unfolded gently, with their girls barefoot on grass, champagne toasts under trees, and the kind of looks between two people that said “we’ve already built a life together, this is just the beginning of the next part.”⁠ ⁠ This is what love looks like.⁠ And here, this secret shot is of Niamh preparing quietly for the day ahead, taking a moment to collect herself. ⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @liamxquinn⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A shot of the bride getting ready by herself in front of the bathroom mirror. She is wearing a simple white gown with a square neckline and flowing skirt that ends at her ankles.⁠]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding #FamilyElopement #IntimateElopement

Planning your wedding? Here’s something worth th Planning your wedding? Here’s something worth thinking about before you say “I do”:⁠ ⁠ - What beliefs about marriage are you carrying, without even realising it?⁠ - Are they yours, or just the ones you’ve absorbed from family, culture, or tradition?⁠ ⁠ On Polka Dot Wisdom, @natalie.eft.therapist helps couples explore their marriage mindset and why it matters long before the big day.⁠ ⁠ This is your relationship. Your rules. Your love story. Start writing it with intention. ⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @laurenwildcreative ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A joyful couple stand hand-in-hand at their wedding ceremony, beaming at each other against a modern white brick backdrop.
