It’s all in the details - What is the Love & Lens package?

This package brings together Emily from Solis Stories (photographer) and Izzy from Hitched by Hazell (celebrant) to create an intimate wedding experience designed specifically for couples eloping in Newcastle and the Hunter region.

Emily and Izzy have worked together on many weddings and elopements over the years, which means the ceremony and photography flow naturally from one moment to the next. They understand each other’s rhythm on the day; when to step in, when to step back, and how to create space for genuine moments to unfold. For couples, it simply means less coordination and a much more relaxed, meaningful and beautifully documented experience.

Emily | Solis Stories

Photographer

Emily from Solis Stories will be your eyes behind the lens. Her style blends documentary grit with editorial polish, and she works with intention, hustle, and heart to capture photos that feel. She's all about getting stuck in, reading the room, and making sure you get images that are as bold, beautiful, and honest as your day deserves.

I was so excited when we found Emily and Izzy from Lovefool to be part of our wedding day - honestly the best decision we made! From the very beginning, Emily was so friendly, responsive, and completely understood the relaxed, intimate vibe we wanted. She made us feel so comfortable and captured every moment so perfectly. I’ve never trusted a photographer as much as I trusted her.

Izzy was just as incredible - her ceremony was heartfelt, personal, and full of warmth. Together, they created such an easy, joy-filled experience that made our day feel completely effortless.

If you’re planning an elopement , we couldn’t recommend Emily and Izzy enough. 10000/10 - they’re truly the dream team!
