There’s something special about Mt Mee. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, the air feels softer, and the world seems to pull back just enough to let you breathe.
If you’ve been dreaming about a wedding day that feels personal, peaceful and truly yours, Mt Mee is the perfect place to escape to and Yajambee Farm Stay is one of its most beautiful hidden spots.
Why Mt Mee Is Made for True Elopements
Eloping isn’t about running away.
It’s about running towards something, towards simplicity, intention, and each other.
Mt Mee offers everything a true elopement needs:
Quiet roads winding through rolling hills
Tall trees and filtered golden light
Misty mornings, long views, and starry nights
Secluded corners where you can say your vows without an audience
There’s no pressure here. No timelines to impress, no expectations to live up to. Just the two of you, choosing each other all over again.
Yajambee Farm Stay: Your Relaxed Elopement Base
Yajambee Farm Stay is one of my favourite places to photograph couples because it feels like home the moment you arrive.
It’s warm and inviting, with that mix of comfort and country charm that makes you want to slow down and soak everything in.
You can get ready on site, wander the property for photos, and head out to nearby lookouts for sunset. There’s space to breathe, and space to simply be yourselves.
Some of my favourite moments I’ve captured at Yajambee include:
Quiet first looks under the tall gums
Vows shared with just the birds and the breeze
Slow, unhurried portraits with the hills dropping away behind you
Cups of tea on the veranda after the “I do”, taking it all in
It’s the kind of place where nothing feels rushed, because it doesn’t need to be.
A Whole Region Filled With Magic
One of the best parts of choosing Mt Mee is how close everything is while still feeling untouched.
A few local spots I love photographing elopements and portraits at:
The lookout points for sweeping golden-hour images
The forest drives where the light pours through the trees
Quiet side roads with long grasses and wide open skies
Hidden picnic spots for a post-ceremony moment together
Rolling paddocks where the sunset feels endless
Every part of Mt Mee gives your day its own kind of magic.
You can wander, explore, and just let the day unfold naturally.

A true elopement isn’t about performance.
It’s about presence.
It’s:

Celebrating quietly or loudly, but authentically
