About Bliss Photography by Michaela
Bliss Photography by Michaela is the wedding and elopement business of Michaela Elphick, a Gold Coast local with many seasons of weddings behind her. Her style leans towards real emotion and easy laughter rather than rigid posing, with a refined, editorial finish on the final images. Coverage is sold in four sizes. A one-hour package suits a micro wedding or elopement at a single location, three hours handles the main moments of a shorter day, and five hours gives her time to stay on for the extra details. The longest package runs for up to eight hours, following the day from the bridal party getting ready through to the reception. Every option comes with an online gallery. Couples planning something small can go further than photography. Michaela helps design elopements, pairing a celebrant with the photographer as a single arrangement, and can also assist with locations, hair and make-up, and flowers. Local knowledge is a large part of the service. She works across beaches, coastal venues and the hinterland, and plans around the light and the changeable weather on the coast. She also offers timeline planning and light posing direction if you want it, so the day can run without you having to think about the camera. Send an enquiry with your date and the size of your celebration to talk through which package fits.
