Kahani Motiani (celebrant) and Ryal Sormaz (photographer) - Geelong-based elopement team

We’re Kahani (celebrant) and Ryal (photographer) and we’ve been making magic at far too many weddings to count both individually and as a duo. But through Elsewhere, we relish the chance to slow it down with couples, to enrich their experience of getting married, and to bring the focus right back to the most important, most special, most marvellous part of it all: you two.

They beautifully captured the essence of our love story, turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. The attention to detail and the ability to seize precious moments astounded us, leaving us forever grateful. What sets Kahani and Ryal apart is their perfect balance of professionalism and fun. Our elopement day was truly magical, thanks to their passion and commitment. Their ability to connect with us on a personal level made the experience extraordinary. In a world where wedding plans can be overwhelming, Elsewhere provided us with a seamless and stress-free experience. Nothing we asked for was too much trouble for Kahani and Ryal.

  • If you’re after a zero stress, incredible, intimate way to marry your best friend then you’ve come to the right place! I wish every single person could experience the beautiful day that Kahani and Ryal created for us. We opted to elope as the thought of planning a big over the top wedding with 3 young kids was so daunting, and we really wanted to make sure the day was just about our little family, and be super present in the moment. Kahani literally took care of everything, and was only ever a message away when we needed her. She really is a woman of many, many talents… including behind the scenes entertainment! Ryal captured the most beautiful photos and created a video that we used to surprise our family and friends with, and we still watch it together constantly. He made us feel so comfortable, for 2 people that aren’t a fan of being in front of the camera. I could ramble on for days about how incredible these humans are. Can guarantee that you will not regret choosing Elsewhere, it truly is the most magical experience.
