1. Why do I love photographing Registry Weddings & Elopements at the Old Treasury Building?
There’s something truly wonderful about the simplicity and intimacy of registry weddings at the Old Treasury Building. The light, the architecture, the way Melbourne wraps itself around you—these are the ingredients that let real, unscripted moments unfold. My approach is about honouring your day with grace and ease, capturing the laughter that echoes under those grand arches, and the quiet glances no one else notices. Every elopement is a chance for adventure, presence, and playfulness—a celebration of love without the noise.
My favourite moments are often in-between: a nervous squeeze of hands, a shared joke before stepping into the ceremony, the golden hour glow in Treasury Gardens. These are the 9 moments that linger with you forever—timeless, modern, and effortlessly editorial. See more about my style for Old Treasury Building Weddings.
2. What makes these weddings so special for me?
Elopements and registry weddings strip away the unnecessary and leave space for what truly matters—connection, story, and a bit of cheeky fun. There’s room to wander, to be present, to let the day breathe. I love the way Melbourne’s cityscape becomes a canvas for your romance, with every corner holding new light and energy. As Pablo Neruda wrote, “I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees”—and that’s how I feel about capturing your love: gently, tenderly, with wonder and presence.
3. What’s my approach towards photographing elopements?
My philosophy is minimal posing, maximum storytelling. I want you to feel completely at ease—no stiff directions, just gentle guidance when needed. I’m there in the background, quietly observing and anticipating those wonderful split-second moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime. I believe in letting you be yourselves: playful, loving, a little wild, a bit romantic. Every gallery I deliver is a blend of cinematic, poetic, and candid images, like frames from your favourite film. Explore my approach to minimal posing, maximum storytelling.
4. Why would you hire me for your Melbourne wedding or elopement?
My work is driven by art, not algorithms. Each booking is treated with individual care—minimal bookings, maximum attention.
I offer sneak peeks the very next day (because I know waiting can be hard!).
My focus has never shifted from what matters: creating images that are timeless, editorial, relaxed, and deeply meaningful.
I’m inspired by cinema, architecture, and light—think Godard, Kurosawa, Ozu, Truffaut, Tarkovsky. My images are crafted with intention, much like a director frames a scene.
5. What makes my team at ROHIT JHAWAR Photography so special?
We’re a collective of creative souls with a shared vision: consistency in style, a deep work ethic, and a belief in creating magic every time. Each member brings a unique eye, but we’re united by our love for storytelling and delivering a relaxed, easy experience for you. Read more about my story and our team.
6. Why are our Old Treasury Building elopements so, so special?

7. Minimal Posing, Maximum Storytelling—What does that mean?
Your wedding day is not a photoshoot—it’s your story, unfolding in real time. I focus on:
Authentic, unscripted moments
Emotional depth and natural connection
Timeless, editorial images that will never feel dated
Playful, modern frames that let your personalities shine
Presence is everything. I capture the quiet, the chaos, and everything in between—so your gallery is full of the 9 wonderful details you didn’t even notice on the day.
8. Why would you love working with Rohit Jhawar Photography?
I see with fresh eyes and a sense of wonder every single day.
I’m inspired by poets like Tagore, Rumi, and Rupi Kaur—believing that “love is the bridge between you and everything” (Rumi).
Our collaboration is about trust, adventure, and celebrating your quirks.
My journey: from 4 years in the corporate world to full-time visual arts study, to learning from Jonas Peterson’s heart-stirring wedding stories and Raghu Rai’s genre-breaking approach, to working with leading Melbourne studios such as DUUET + T-ONE, and finally starting my own Studio.
I collaborate with wonderful vendors like I Do I Do Gippsland, Romkom, Dancing With Her, Ivory Tribe, Pic-Time and more—ensuring your experience is seamless and special.
9. What else should you know?
I chase golden light, laughter, and the little in-between glances no one else sees.
