Lisa & Rob’s Surprise Elopement with Children
Lisa and Rob’s story shows just what’s possible: a day that’s intimate, joyful, and entirely yours, with the people who matter most right there beside you.
Lisa and Rob had already built a beautiful life together—two gorgeous kids, a cosy home, and years of love and laughter behind them. When it came time to finally say “I do,” they wanted something simple, heartfelt, and family-focused. Lisa had been searching for an elopement venue with accommodation that felt relaxed and meaningful—somewhere they could stay with their children and keep everything low-key. Wallaringa Farm was just the place.
But there was a twist: their kids had no idea.
Arriving at the farm, the children thought they were heading off on a quiet countryside holiday. On the morning of the big day, Lisa and Rob shared the surprise—they were getting married! The joy that followed was unforgettable—tears, laughter, and hugs that felt endless.
Their ceremony took place on the farmhouse deck, overlooking paddocks and framed by a grounded floral nest from The Flower Shop Dungog. Meredith led a warm, personal, and deeply moving ceremony—full of quiet emotion, laughter, and family joy.
It was a true family celebration from start to finish.
Ell from Rogue Weddings captured every moment—joyful giggles, happy tears, soft light spilling across the paddocks, and the deep connection between two people choosing love, with their children right beside them. The photos tell a story that’s natural, cinematic, and completely unforgettable.
