Cassie and Matt’s Secret Boho Elopement at James Price Point

Cassie and Matt loved the idea of a desert theme for their elopement and were inspired by trips to the Sahara Desert in Morocco, Wadi Rum in Jordan and Joshua Tree National Park in the US. When they visited James Price Point, 60 km north of Broome, during a more recent holiday, the red dirt and cliffs made them feel as though they were in the desert again and allowed them to combine all of their favourite places in one. The decision was made to elope at James Price Point on the Dampier Peninsula.
Despite their clear vision of the vibe for their elopement, finding the perfect wedding outfits wasn’t an easy feat. Cassie and Matt currently live and work in a remote Kimberley community far away from any shops. The community doesn’t even have a post office. They literally bought everything online but it all fitted perfectly and worked well together. Cassie’s dress was by Bec and Bridge Bridal and Matt’s suit was from Politix.
When I asked the newly weds what marriage means to them they said “to have a team mate forever who supports you through all of life. It means unconditional love, growing old together, having a best friend and someone to share the most amazing life experience with”.
Cassie and Matt praised each vendor they engaged for their elopement and said they were all fantastic to work with. Flowers were by Broome Florist, hair and makeup was done by Bonnie Louise Styling and Kelly Morrow facilitated the ceremony.
