nathan & ashley.
A kyoto elopement.
Hailing from Australia, Nathan and Ashley envisioned a day eloping in their favourite place – Kyoto. However with not much of an idea of how the legal system worked, and wanting a day focused on themselves, they didn’t know where to start.
This is where I came in to help guide them through the whole process, from legal advice to location and timeline curation as well. Read about their experience with me below.
does this all sound a bit like how you envision getting married?
