Kasey & Jack

“The Adventure Package”

Love Story

Kasey & Jack’s story kicked off in the sun-soaked vibes of San Diego, where a dating app match led to an unforgettable first date at a rooftop brewery in Pacific Beach. It was one of those rare moments. Instant connection, easy laughter, and the kind of chemistry that felt like catching up with an old friend.

Kasey was drawn to Jack’s confidence and self-deprecating humor. Jack loved Kasey’s quick wit and how easy it was to talk to her. Their relationship quickly became a whirlwind of fun—sneaking into country club pools, Jack teaching Kasey how to golf, chasing sunsets, and discovering the best eats in San Diego.

Less than two months in and Kasey moved into Jack’s beachside home. It felt natural, not rushed. They embraced each other’s quirks and grew even closer. After a year of globe-trotting adventures—Hawaii, Japan, Banff, Alaska, the Dolomites, Bermuda, France, Switzerland, and Maine—they decided to legally marry before moving to Australia. Jack’s proposal was a no-brainer: Kasey said yes without hesitation.

Their next adventure? Eloping in New Zealand, high up in the mountains at Lake Erskine, where the views are as breathtaking as their journey together. No guest lists, no stress—just the two of them, celebrating love in its purest, most adventurous form.

On the Day

Kasey and Jack flew in from Australia for their dream heli elopement. Jack is a helicopter pilot, so naturally, they had to add a heli adventure to their dream elopement. He really tried his best not to talk to the pilot too much, which was really hard for him and really funny for us. We met them at Stoneridge Estate, where we had their First look, and we even got to take some photos by the infinity pool which was really cool.

We then flew to Lake Erskine for their ceremony with Ellie. The couple looked like movie stars, and we had such a beautiful ceremony by the glimmering lake. After the ceremony, we stopped by Big Geordie on the way back, which overlooked Glenorchy. It was such a beautiful summer day, and with the light shining beautifully, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The slight breeze was blowing Kasey’s gorgeous dress, and I got to capture some of my favorite pictures, which are of them sitting on a rock looking out to Glenorchy and the lake. 

Such a beautiful and memorable day, definitely one for the books!
