Monarto Zoo Wedding Photos | A Fun Elopement-Style Wedding

Wedding Photography
Written By Sarah Graue

Some weddings are all about the big formalities, and some are about keeping things relaxed, personal, and full of the people who matter most.

Ellie and Kep’s Monarto Zoo wedding was very much the second kind.

Their original plan was to elope, but as often happens, family were pretty excited to be part of the day too. So their plans grew into a relaxed ceremony-only celebration at Monarto Zoo, with around 50 guests, a few family photos, portraits with their son Marley, and a party afterwards.

It still had all the best parts of an elopement: no fuss, no huge wedding party, no long formal timeline — just a short and sweet ceremony, time together as a family, and a very memorable wander around the zoo for photos.
