What we do best
Cityscape Elopements is a simple, all-encompassing elopement service run by Archibald the Celebrant & Dee of Finderseeker Photography.
Having a celebrant and photographer package deal is a great option for folks who want to have a wedding low on guest numbers but big on feelings. As your celebrant, Archibald brings a flare of authenticity and charm that can’t be replicated, and Dee’s photography has earned her a reputation as one of Melbourne's best wedding photographers.
The whole process takes roughly 1.5 hours from start to finish, with the ceremony lasting no longer than 25 minutes, this leaves over an hour for Dee can take the reins and capture your special day post ceremony. Boom! You’re married.
We are based in the Melbourne CBD, with some beautiful spots we can suggest, including the Fitzroy, Treasury and Carlton gardens areas. Of course, if you have a vision, let’s do it your way!
We love and celebrate all love at Cityscape Elopements. We are an LGBTQIA+ inclusive business and believe that your love is unique, just like you are, regardless of gender, age, culture, and ability.

G’day folks it’s your mate Archibald here, I’m your marriage celebrant for Cityscape Elopements and I’m so excited to celebrate your love. I have 4 years of celebrant experience and over 10 years of experience in working in weddings in various roles, including as a professional saxophone player. I love celebrating love of all types and telling stories with a touch of razzle dazzle.
I really love working with Dee because – well, besides her obvious incredible talents behind the lens - we complement each other so well. Where I can be a big picture, creative and often fast thinking ball of energy, she keeps me grounded and focussed. She’s also just a pure delight!
Archibald the Celebrant -
Dee the Photographer -
I’m so honoured that you’re here! My pronouns are she/her and I’m a Melbourne based wedding photographer who lives big, laughs hard and loves love.
I’ve been photographing weddings for 12 years and still pinch myself that I get to share in such a joyous occasion- your wedding day!
I thrive on connection and I’m here for the big moments, the small moments and everything in between.
My style is bold, candid, honest and relaxed. I love crafting images that are candid in nature with a creative edge.
I have a background in Fine Art and this influences the way I see the world and the way I photograph.
I love working with Archie because of his laid back, friendly personality and he really knows how to create the perfect ceremony
I keep things super relaxed but hold a keen awareness artistically of how I am crafting my images.
