A Modern & Elegant Elopement at Acre of Roses, Trentham
There are some elopements that feel like stepping into a quiet pocket of magic — and Anna and Angus’ day at Acre of Roses in Trentham was exactly that. Set on a micro flower farm surrounded by soft light, climbing roses, and gentle countryside charm, their celebration was intimate, stylish, and deeply heartfelt from beginning to end.
With their families overseas and interstate, they planned an elopement that centred on presence, connection, and sentiment. Every detail reflected their story: modern elegance, timeless style, and the joy of keeping things beautifully simple.
Getting Ready: Slow Moments & Separate Spaces
Anna and Angus spent a peaceful morning getting ready separately — a thoughtful choice that gave them both space to breathe, reflect, and soak everything in.
Angus got ready in the Potting Shed, a rustic, charming space filled with character. Old records spun softly on the record player as he dressed in his timeless black tux, complete with a satin side stripe, bow tie, modern loafers, and minimal black ball cufflinks — a refined, understated look that suited him perfectly.
Across the property, Anna prepared in the Miner’s Cottage, a warm and elegant retreat. She wore a stunning two-piece tailored bridal ensemble, paired with delicate lace slippers — the perfect mix of modern design and soft romance. The quiet stillness, the soft natural light, and the anticipation made for the most gorgeous, heartfelt moments.
An Intimate Garden Ceremony by the Folley
Their ceremony took place in the gardens, beside the quaint folly framed by greenery and roses. The only witnesses were Sandy and Rob, the wonderful owners of Acre of Roses, who brought an extra sense of warmth and groundedness to the moment.
It was intimate, sincere, and beautifully simple — just the two of them, surrounded by nature, committing their lives to each other in the most personal way.
Champagne, Garden Wanders & Newlywed Bliss
After the ceremony, Anna and Angus popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate — a joyful, sparkling moment that fit perfectly with the relaxed, luxurious feel of the day.
From there, they wandered through the gardens, taking in the colours, textures, and stillness of the micro farm property. They even stopped to say hello to the rescue ponies next door, a sweet and unexpected highlight that made the day feel even more like a storybook.
Every photograph and video clip from this part of the day radiates that newlywed glow — soft smiles, quiet laughter, gentle touches, and the kind of joy that sits right beneath the surface.
Why They Chose to Elope
With their closest family and friends overseas, Anna and Angus wanted a way to share their day meaningfully while still keeping the experience deeply personal. Choosing both photography and video allowed them to:
Relive the emotions and atmosphere of the day
Share their vows and celebration with loved ones across the world
Have a timeless record of their story — something to return to again and again
It was the perfect way to honour connection, even across distance.
