Elopement Videographer - Melbourne & Victoria
An elopement is the most honest version of a wedding day. Just the two of you, the place that matters, and the decision to make it real. No performance, no guest list to manage, no schedule to keep. Just the moment itself.
At Popes & Co, elopements are some of our favourite days to film. The intimacy changes everything - there is nowhere to hide and nothing to hide behind, which means the footage we capture is completely real. Every glance, every nervous laugh, every quiet breath before the vows.
We film elopements across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, the Dandenong Ranges, the Mornington Peninsula coastline, the Surf Coast, and wherever else your day takes you. If you have a location in mind, get in touch - we would love to hear about it.
What We Capture on Your Elopement Day
An elopement film from Popes & Co is built around the moments that belong only to the two of you - not a production of them.
Depending on your day, we typically cover:
Getting ready: natural, unhurried footage of the preparations
The ceremony: every word of the vows, the rings, the first moments after
The wander: time together in your location, captured without direction
The small details: the flowers, the ring, the light on your faces at that time of day
You receive a short cinematic film - typically 5 to 8 minutes - that captures the full feeling of your elopement day. Honest, beautiful, and entirely yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you film elopements in Melbourne?
Yes. Elopements are one of our favourite things to film - intimate, unhurried, and entirely focused on the two of you. We work with couples eloping across Melbourne, regional Victoria, and Australia-wide. Whether it's a clifftop ceremony, a garden setting, or a quiet courthouse moment, we're there for it.
What is included in an elopement videography package?
Elopement packages are tailored to the scale and style of your day. A typical elopement film covers your ceremony, the vows, the first moments after, and a short wander together for natural footage. You receive a cinematic highlight film of the day. Get in touch and we'll build a package around exactly what you need.
Where are the best elopement locations in Melbourne?
Melbourne and its surrounds offer beautiful elopement settings - the Dandenong Ranges, the Mornington Peninsula coastline, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens, the Yarra Valley, and the Surf Coast. We're experienced working across all of these and can suggest locations that suit your vision and the time of year.
Do you need a large wedding party for elopement coverage?
Not at all. Elopements can be just the two of you, a couple of witnesses, or a small group of close family and friends. Our approach works best with small, intimate gatherings - we move quietly, stay unobtrusive, and focus on capturing genuine moments rather than managing a crowd.
Can we elope on a weekday to save costs?
Yes, weekday elopements are a great option and often allow more flexibility with locations and timing. We're available for weekday shoots across Melbourne and Victoria - get in touch to discuss your preferred date.
