PURPOSE-BUILT wedding + ELOPEMENT
experiences
DESIGNED FOR COUPLES WHO DON't DO ORDINARY
"Ive taken a full week to try put together a review that actually does justice explaining just how incredible our elopement journey was with you. So much so that we have already started planning some more ceremonies within different cultures around our country and would love nothing more than to have you a part of them all. You are such a light and make it incredibly easy to not only make one of the most special days of our lives a reality, but also have us right in the centre of pure comfort and ease all the way through the whole process. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our love so perfectly and for creating a space for us that honestly made us feel
like royalty."

Your love deserves more than photos -
IT DESERVES AN unforgettable STORY
Exclusive experiences built around your vision, your pace, and the wild places that take your breath away.
Hey Loves,
I'm June, the founder of June Richards Photography
& wild river adventure elopements.
and I'm so stoked you're here...
If you know me, you would know that I'm extremely passionate about my couples. Not only am I a people's person but I am also an adventurer at heart.
My love for nature and wildlife forms a BIG part of my work, and being an empath creates a sacred space for my couples to be authentically themselves whilst I get to create ART that speaks volumes about the beautiful creation that surrounds us.
Before I became an Adventure Elopement photographer I owned a Brand Development Company that crafted people's dream brands for their businesses and brought them to life.
Every Elopement Experience Includes...
BESPOKE EXPERIENCE DESIGN

"If there were more than 5 stars that I could give for this review, I would throw them all your way. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TEAM! From day 1 they endeavored to get to know us, guided us and supported us through the chaos of planning. They are more than just service providers. It's easy to form a bond with them that makes being in front of the cameras feel easy and natural. I distinctly remember leaving the engagement session and hearing my fiancé say 'I don't understand why guys usually don't like doing this - that was so much fun'. When you understand how much he hates being in front of the camera you'll get how powerful that statement is. They brought so much to the big day and have immortalized the memories in the most stunning way. I'm blown away by every photo
I see."

More Than a Photoshoot — It’s an Experience
This isn’t simply coverage. It’s a guided journey — from the first whisper of “yes” to the last page of your legacy album. I’ll be your creative partner, planning consultant, and calm presence from start to finish.
We'll get along beautifully if you...
- Want a wedding or elopement that feels rich with meaning and wild beauty
- Expect thoughtful planning support — not checklists you finish yourself
- Prefer a deeply personal experience over a templated package
- Value artwork that tells your story, not just photos
