Elopements across South Australia
Just the two of you. And maybe a few you love.
Gather and Vow is a celebrant and a photographer who have teamed up to make eloping easy. One booking covers your legal ceremony, your photos and, if you like, a film. You pick the place. We handle the paperwork, the timeline and the light.
Why elope with us
All the meaning of a wedding, none of the production.
One booking, one team
Your celebrant and photographer already work together. No juggling vendors, no mismatched timelines, one point of contact from enquiry to final gallery.
Legal, done properly
Niamh lodges and checks your Notice of Intended Marriage, runs the legal wording, and files your registration with SA Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Relaxed, never posed stiff
Dan shoots natural and timeless. If you hate posing, he's your guy. Most of the good photos happen while you're having a great time.
Who we are
Two Adelaide locals who love a small wedding.
Your celebrant
Niamh Dillon
Irish-born and in Adelaide since 2014, Niamh writes every ceremony from scratch around your story. Heartfelt, lighthearted or both. She makes sure the legal side is right so you can just be there.
Your photographer & filmmaker
Dan Glasgow
Dan has photographed and filmed more than 150 weddings across South Australia. He'll build your timeline with you, carries backup gear for everything, and has your first 20 sneak peeks to you within 72 hours.
You get a ceremony that sounds like you, and photos that look like you.
The little details
Roses in the bath. Bubbles on ice.

How it works
From hello to married.
In Australia you need to lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month before your date. Here's how it runs with us.
- Today
Check your date
Tell us when, roughly where and how many. We confirm availability for both of us and send your package details.
- 1+ month out
Lodge your notice
You sign your Notice of Intended Marriage with Niamh. It's valid for 18 months, so you can lock it in early.
- 2 weeks out
Plan the day
Niamh drafts your ceremony and Dan builds the timeline around the best light at your spot.
- The day
Say I do
Ceremony, signing and photos. You'll need two witnesses over 18. Sneak peeks land within 72 hours.
Places we love
Your backdrop is South Australia.
A cliff, a vineyard row, a garden bench or your own backyard. If it's legal to stand there, we can marry you there.
Adelaide Hills
Stringybark forest, misty mornings and hotels like The Stirling.
McLaren Vale
Vine rows and long golden light.
Barossa
Old stone, big gums and cellar doors.
Fleurieu coast
Sea cliffs and quiet beaches an hour from the city.
In the city
Botanic Garden, Carrick Hill and little laneways.
Questions
Good to know.
Anything else, just ask. We reply to every enquiry personally.
What do we need to legally marry in South Australia?
A Notice of Intended Marriage lodged at least one month before your date, ID for both of you, a registered celebrant, and two witnesses over 18. Niamh walks you through every step.
We don't have witnesses. Can you help?
Yes. Let us know when you enquire and we'll talk through the options.
Can we choose any location?
Almost anywhere. Some parks and beaches need a council permit for ceremonies. We'll tell you if yours does and how to get one.
What if the weather turns?
We'll plan a backup spot with you during planning. Dan is very happy shooting in moody weather.
Can we add film or extra time?
Yes. Any package can add film or extra photography hours. Ask and we'll quote it upfront.
Tell us about your day.
Send a few details and we’ll come back to you within two business days with availability for both of us. Or email hello@gatherandvow.com.au.
