The Team Behind Your Day
Behind Mornington Peninsula Elopements is a small, passionate team who genuinely love creating relaxed, meaningful wedding days. Maddi from Married by Maddi is your celebrant — warm, thoughtful and deeply committed to telling your story in a way that feels natural and personal. Sarah from Salt & Soul Weddings is your photographer, capturing the quiet moments, the laughter and the real emotion that makes your day yours. Alongside her is Aaron, videographer at Salt & Soul Weddings and Sarah’s husband, creating films that let you relive the feeling of the day for years to come.
We’re all Mornington Peninsula locals and feel incredibly lucky to call this place home. From hidden beaches and windswept clifftops to peaceful bushland spots, we know the peninsula well and love helping couples discover places that feel just right for their day. We also work closely with a community of talented local vendors and small businesses, bringing together the right people to create a celebration that feels seamless, thoughtful and truly special.
Weddings, Done Your Way
We believe your wedding day should feel like one of the best days of your life — not one of the most stressful. Too often weddings become packed with timelines, expectations and traditions that don’t actually mean anything to the couple. Through our collaboration between Salt & Soul Weddings and Married By Maddi, we’re here to offer something different. A slower, more intentional way to get married that puts the focus back where it belongs — on the two of you and the commitment you’re making.
A Calm, Meaningful Way to Get Married
Our approach is simple: your wedding should reflect your story, your values and your vibe. Whether that means saying your vows barefoot on a Mornington Peninsula beach, tucked away in a national park, or surrounded by a handful of your favourite people, we’re here to help create a day that feels relaxed, personal and effortless. We guide the experience from start to finish so you can let go of the pressure and actually enjoy every moment — the quiet ones, the joyful ones and everything in between.
Thoughtful Weddings, Gentle on the Planet
We’re also passionate about doing things more consciously. The wedding industry can create a huge amount of unnecessary waste, so we prioritise eco-friendly and sustainable practices wherever possible — working with local vendors, choosing thoughtful styling and focusing on meaningful details rather than excess. For us, it’s about creating celebrations that feel beautiful, intentional and respectful of the incredible coastline and landscapes we’re lucky to celebrate on here on the Mornington Peninsula.
