Shane Vincent and Shannon Blanch are two extraordinarily passionate wedding industry aficionados with oodles of passion and creative flair. This is why they created Coastal Elopes: to nurture their passion for videography and photography, and to help couples immortalise one of the happiest days of their lives in the process.
Situated on the border of NSW and Queensland – in Tweeds Head, no less – this duo and their team of professionals create works of art, in both moving and still format. Their breathtaking photography style can best be described as storytelling, with this skilful team artfully capturing every happy moment – from the excitement-filled preparations on the morning of to the sparkler-clad send-off. As for their videography? It’s truly remarkable, with each highlight film showcasing the best of each wedding – speeches, laughter, details, and all!
Coastal Elopes specialises in photography and videography, but also offer a number of other incredible services. You’ll find these delightful inclusions in one of their tailored elopement and micro wedding packages, which are available from Byron Bay to Brisbane. These all-inclusive packages contain not just photography and videography, but partner suppliers and wedding checklist items. This may include a celebrant (Coastal Elopes can offer Shane Vincent, a Brides Choice Award winner, among others), wedding styling, flowers, hair and makeup, acoustic musicians (including Benny Hanna, a highly experienced, versatile musician/DJ with an RnB specialty, and Chris Black, runner up on The Voice Australia in 2019), and gorgeous wedding cakes. Reach out to this relaxed, easygoing (but mightily professional) team about a package that works for you. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
“We only take on a limited number of wedding videos each year so we can ensure we give each client our full creative attention and efforts. Our collections offer a variety of options and are presented in the highest, professional quality.” Shannon, Photographer and Cinematographer
