Essential guide to Boranup Forest Elopements

Elope in Boranup Forest Margaret River

Boranup forest is in my top three favourite elopement locations in Margaret River. Every year I photograph hundreds of family and couple portraits in Boranup Forest and I love the place.

Conveniently located close to Margaret River

Just 25 minutes from Margaret River town I have a favourite location in Boranup Forest that you can have your ceremony and your photos after. This makes your experience very easy, stress free and enjoyable.

In what seems no time at all, we will check out some cool spots and I will capture all the fun naturally. Giving you hundreds of awesome natural memories in spectacular landscape scenery.

Get married anytime in Boranup Forest

You can get married in the morning or the afternoon. The location I use is fantastic throughout the day, in full sun or overcast. It’s a lot more forgiving than say a beach ceremony which you would need to have later in the afternoon for optimum photo light.

I also photograph in the forest throughout winter and I have only had to reschedule a handful of sessions due to heavy rain.

Adventure Elopements in Boranup Forest

This forest offers a unique experience with breathtaking scenery and a real sense of adventure. My clients love how they feel they are in the middle of nowhere, yet it’s conveniently located close to Caves Road and town.

Kids love Boranup forest and my favourite locations are safely hidden away from roads etc so you can let young kids explore a bit and enjoy themselves.

Wedding ceremonies in Boranup Forest

The wedding ceremony spot that I love is in a clearing of trees that creates a natural amphitheatre shape for small groups to gather. There are alternative spots that I photographed large weddings in the forest but this one is super intimate.

It’s nice and convenient to get to and you don’t have to walk far at all. This makes getting any decor or furnishings for your ceremony on site super easy.

It’s also close to my favourite locations that I use for my portrait work which offers you a variety of incredible landscape scenes all within a tiny walking distance.

How long do photos take in Boranup Forest?

Your ceremony will be twenty minutes or there about. Depending on the number of guests you have we will have congratulations and then group pics.

After this we will simply go for a stroll through the forest, we’ll have a chat and a laugh as I capture lots of awesome natural memories for you. I’d allow forty five minutes for this, so it’s fun and easy going you know.

My clients always love their experience in Boranup Forest

I have photographed that many sessions in Boranup that I have a plan for anything and everything. I couldn’t even begin to count the number of times parents have arrived stressed for a session cause their kids are not playing ball and it’s turned out to be an awesome session with fantastic portraits.

I can work with varying light, weather and practically anything and make your experience great and your photos perfect. It’s a big call but I’ve done it year in year out.
