Wild Romantic Photography & Video Melbourne

I’m Elif Kelly, a photographer with a deep love for photography, videography and design. Wild Romantic Photography was born from a burning desire to channel memories into forever through varying formats of content. I believe moments should live on in a tangible way.

My love for photography began with 35mm film. Growing up, I’d spend endless hours in the darkroom, developing images by hand. As the world moved into the digital age, and as the beauty of film began to fade, I held on. Wild Romantic is a continuing narration of love stories told through film and timeless images of forever.

Photo Albums That Double as Luxurious Coffee Table Books

In a world that moves fast, I believe in slowing down. In capturing the in-between moments, the glances, the quiet. The kind of love that lingers. That’s why I created stylish photo albums designed not just to hold your memories, but to honour them.

Each album is a love letter to your story, thoughtfully crafted to live on your coffee table and in your heart. More than a photo book, it's a timeless keepsake, protecting your most meaningful moments while elevating your space with quiet luxury.

Why Wild Romantic Photography?

Wild Romantic Photography is for those who want forever. Whose love stretches across galaxies, who love fiercely, hold on tightly, and who believe in the beauty of moments.

The soul of my work is steeped in the warmth of my Turkish heritage, a culture rich in ritual, beauty, and belonging.

We absolutely love our wedding photos!!!Elle captured the day so beautifully along with so many genuine moments.Elle has a big personality and brought so much energy to the day, even though she wasn’t feeling the best. We honestly don’t know how she managed to capture everything so perfectly, especially with the torrential rain! Looking through our gallery, you’d never know the weather wasn’t on our side.One of our favourite touches was the film photography. It adds such a nostalgic feel/look and made the memories feel even more special.The biggest highlight for us has been the wedding album. Being able to choose 300 photos and have them professionally printed into such a beautiful keepsake album is incredible. It’s something we probably never would have got around to doing ourselves, and now we’ll have it forever.Thank you so much for capturing our day so beautifully. We can’t wait to look back on these memories! xxx

Absolutely obsessed. We met Elle in Melbourne while on holiday, saw her work, and quickly booked her for an epic city shoot (couple + branding). Her styling and posing are next level, and the way she captures light and shadow makes everything feel so editorial. She has an incredible ability to make you look and feel amazing. We were lucky to have both digital and film images to enjoy, and these will be truly treasured for many years to come

Words honestly cannot express how grateful we are for Elle and the incredible work she did for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, Elle made us feel at ease. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail stood out immediately and she carried that through not just before the wedding, but during the day itself and after with such care and heart.She understood our style and vibe perfectly and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Her coordination on the day was seamless, her energy was calming and positive, and she managed to capture every moment in a way that felt both artistic and deeply personal.We are so excited to receive our full gallery and wedding album. Even the previews were breathtaking. Elle’s work is visually stunning, so thoughtfully composed, and has such a timeless quality to it.I would recommend Elle to every single person I know who is getting married. She is not just a photographer. She is someone who genuinely invests in your day and your story, and the results speak for themselves. Thank you Elle, we will treasure what you have created forever.

Steph Kitchen

We were so incredibly grateful to have Elle shoot our day. As people that aren’t used to having their photo taken, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in natural, beautiful photos.By the end of the day she felt like family and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Sebastian Dodds

1742854812

Elle, Axel and the team at Wild Romantic were the perfect choice of photographer and videographer for our wedding. From the moment we first met Elle at the Rippon Lea Estate wedding reception open day, it was obvious that she would look after us. On the day, she made sure to get every photo we'd asked for, plus many more. When things started running a bit behind later in the evening, she and Axel didn't hesitate to stay on for an extra hour. I cannot recommend Wild Romantic highly enough!

Dinithi Ihalanayake

1742254261

Such a wild ride with Elle, she's full of energy and vibrance. Really helps you relax and feel at ease in front of the camera. She was very diligent in capturing all the aspects of the wedding the way I wanted. Paying close attention to how the pics were edited. Which was extremely generous and wanted to ensure I felt comfortable with the final results. So grateful for this!!The only small thing being, would have loved a bit more guidance in capturing a few more artist/creative shots of the bridal team and a few more candid shots of the whole day. Otherwise overall amazing team to work with. Always open to conversation, would just randomly call to have an open conversation. Felt as though you were talking to a close friend.Love your work Elle:)

Suzie Sakkas

1741469195

Elle is the best of the best! Her energy is unmatched and her work is incredible. She captured my daughter’s christening so beautifully, and I booked her on the same day for my daughter’s first birthday party. She is top tier!!!! Thanks again Elle

Elif is the best wedding, or any event for that matter, photographer I have ever had the privilege of meeting.Her patience, professionalism, energy and attention to detail are beyond outstanding.She will take the photos you expect, then she will take them on your phone, then she’ll sort the couples and the families out so everyone gets the perfect pics.And she’ll make you laugh while she’s doing it. Legend. Couldn’t recommend any more.

She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, giving just the right amount of creative direction to ensure we got the most out of our photos while still letting our personalities shine through.What truly sets her apart is her ability to capture raw, genuine emotions. Looking through our sneak peaks, we can relive every laugh, tear, and joyful moment as if we were back in that exact moment. Every photo feels so natural and full of life, not just posed pictures but real, heartfelt memories.We are beyond grateful to have had Elle as our photographer and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone wanting timeless, emotion-filled images.

The absolutely best decision of our whole wedding was choosing Wild Romantic as our photographer for the day. The team was everything we hoped for and much, much more! Not only an exceptionally skilled and creative professional with an eye for creating unique, memorable photos, but Elle and her team were also such amazing wedding guests and an absolute joy to have with us on the day. The team not only captured our day, but beautiful, romantic moments of my partner and I throughout the night, and family photos that we will treasure forever. My hope for my wedding photos was fun, unique, authentic to us, and a little bit sexy. Elle delivered this and so, so much more. I want Elle to capture every special moment of our family for the rest of my life! Thank you for being the best hype girl and not only capturing our wedding day, but making it sooooo much fun!
