A romantic weekend away became the perfect family love story for Sarah and Wade who chose the Gold Coast for a short stay—and decided it was the ideal moment to elope on the beach when planning.

I was honoured to be the celebrant for Rachel and Danny, celebrating their nuptials at St Bernard's Hotel, at Mount Tamborine.

A Melbourne Couple’s Dream Beach Elopement on the Gold Coast – Six Bridesmaids, Blue Hues & a White Hummer Arrival.

Some couples dream of a big, traditional wedding; others prefer something more intimate, meaningful, and perfectly tailored to their personalities. For Cassey and Trevor, it was all about celebrating their love in a way that truly reflected who they are — surrounded by friends, family, and nature’s beauty.

We first met Alysha a year ago when she came to a pickleball competition on the Gold Coast. We chatted about her future elopement, and a year later, Bam!

Even though the wind was wild and the waves crashed with full force, there was something beautifully raw and romantic about their beachside elopement. The breeze whipped through their hair, their laughter carried on the air, and nature itself seemed to celebrate with them. It wasn’t the calm, picture-perfect day they might have imagined—but it was real, passionate, and utterly unforgettable, a perfect reflection of love that stands strong no matter what the weather brings.
