This is us

Kim & Stina. Two relaxed & fun loving industry peeps who will photograph and marry the shizzle out of you two!

Kim from Dear Henri is big on love stories, good times & genuine connection. Marrying people is her ikigai, her home & heart. Your personalities will shine through and your ceremony will hum with heart and soul. No boring, no schmaltz!

Stina from Gold and Grit Photography shoots weddings for the wild & wickedly in love. She is all about real moments, real passion and a ripper of a celebration! Your day will be captured in the most unforced, unposed, relaxed AF way.

Let's break it down!

We are only doing one elopement per location

Our packages include photography + ceremony + any location fees for our adventures

You can bring yourselves and up to 10 of your favourite people

Date range available is from end of August to the beginning of October

Photography

Full day coverage (up to 6 hours) with Stina. She will find those awesome locations for portraits and help you work out the ideal timeline so that you get an experience, not just pretty photos.

Relaxed, unposed, with no weird awkward poses or odd things! You are guaranteed a ton of fun, and lots and lots of photos, full of heart and emotion, delivered via an online gallery.

Ceremony

A tailored personalised ceremony with Kim, that reflects you two, delivered with a whole lot of heart, all the legals, and a relaxed vibe.

You’ll be guided through an easy process starting with a Zoom meeting so we get to know each other and discover how you want your ceremony to roll, and finishing with a cracking ceremony that sees the two of you married!!

Now all you have to do is decide on where to get hitched!
