Chelsea + Jack’s Gorgeous Laid-Back Elopement at Hotel Park Hyatt, Melbourne

Chelsea + Jack’s elopement at the Hotel Park Hyatt in Melbourne was stylish, intimate, and incredibly personal—exactly the kind of day that reminds me why I love being a Melbourne elopement photographer.
Their approach was simple: no stress, no big production—just a day that felt truly like them. From their emotional first look at the entrance of the Park Hyatt to the cozy, laughter-filled moments in their suite, their wedding was the perfect mix of elegance and ease.
A First Look Full of Emotion
One of my favourite parts of the day was their first reveal at the hotel entrance. There’s something so raw and beautiful about first-look moments—they strip away the formality and give couples a private space to take in the gravity (and joy!) of the day ahead.
Chelsea stepped out, radiant and calm, and Jack’s face said it all. It was pure connection—no audience, no distractions—just two people grounding themselves in the moment before saying “I do.”
An Intimate Ceremony at the Park Hyatt
Instead of a large wedding with hundreds of guests, Chelsea + Jack opted for an intimate ceremony inside one of the Park Hyatt’s beautiful rooms. The hotel’s interiors, with their soft tones, timeless elegance, and natural light, made the perfect backdrop for such a personal celebration.
This is the beauty of elopements: the freedom to do things your way. For Chelsea + Jack, that meant a stress-free day where they could be fully present with each other, surrounded by nothing but love and calm.
Capturing Their Laid-Back, Playful Energy
Once the formalities were done, it was time for what I love most—authentic, playful photography that reflects who they are. Chelsea + Jack weren’t about stiff poses or staged smiles. They wanted their photos to feel alive, candid, and fun.
We spent the afternoon capturing some truly memorable shots:
Jumping on the bed in their suite, laughing like kids in love.
Snuggling up by the fireplace, creating a warm, cozy contrast to the city outside.
Relaxing on the balcony, with a champagne toast and soaking in the Melbourne skyline as newlyweds.
As a wedding photographer, these are the moments I live for—when a couple lets go of expectations and just enjoys being themselves.

Some reasons couples love it:
Beautiful interiors: Every room feels designed for timeless, cinematic photos.

For couples wanting a day that feels elevated yet deeply personal, it’s one of Melbourne’s best elopement venues.
