Sharon & DJ’s Intimate Elopement: A Heartfelt Celebration of Love and Culture
In a world filled with grand celebrations, sometimes the simplest moments hold the most beauty. Sharon and DJ’s elopement at their local church was one of those days—intimate, sincere, and filled with love. Surrounded by just a handful of loved ones, they created a celebration that was deeply connected to their faith, full of joy, and a perfect reflection of who they are as a couple.
A Story That Began with Faith and Friendship
Sharon and DJ’s story began in the same place where they exchanged vows. “We met at church two years ago,” Sharon shared. “I invited David to see a movie with me. I knew he clearly liked me, and so it was an invitation to let him know the feeling was mutual.” DJ, quiet and reserved, found it easier to make that first move thanks to Sharon’s warm approach, and it wasn’t long before they were sharing their first official date at an orchestra and a lovely dinner. Not even a week later, after a hike up Castle Hill, DJ asked Sharon to be his girlfriend. Their connection has grown from that moment, marked by shared faith, laughter, and love.
A Blending of Cultures and Hearts
What made Sharon and DJ’s wedding even more special was the beautiful blend of cultures that came together in their union. Sharon, from Papua New Guinea, and DJ, with both Vietnamese and Australian roots, seamlessly wove elements of their heritages into their ceremony. It was incredible to witness and capture the merging of traditions, each representing a part of who they are and where they come from. Their ceremony became more than just a wedding—it was a celebration of love that transcends borders.
A Ceremony Filled with Faith and Joy
In the quiet atmosphere of their church, Sharon and DJ’s faith was at the heart of their ceremony. They exchanged vows in a space that held deep personal meaning, surrounded by the warmth of their community and the simplicity of a day devoted to love. From the laughter they shared during quiet moments to the genuine smiles that lit up their faces, every photo I captured radiates their joy and deep connection.
Capturing Love, Laughter, and Authentic Moments
Sharon and DJ were a photographer’s dream—full of laughter, playfulness, and a natural connection that made capturing their love easy and authentic. From candid moments to heartfelt glances, they reminded me of the simple joy that comes from being fully present with the one you love. With each click of the camera, I aimed to tell the story of a couple whose love is both gentle and vibrant, blending tradition, faith, and a zest for life.
The Beauty of an Intimate Elopement
Their elopement was a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful celebrations are the simplest. Without the distractions of a large event, Sharon and DJ’s day was focused on what truly mattered—their love, their faith, and the start of their new journey together. It was an honour to document these moments, knowing that these images will serve as lasting memories of a day devoted to celebrating what’s most important.
