Sarah + Ponsy @ Friday Hut Rd, Byron Hinterlands

What we love most about Byron Bay is that it is such a versatile location for an elopement. Not all of our couples want to have a beach wedding or get married in Byron Bay for that matter. Sarah and Ponsy eloped at Friday Hut Road Estate, owned by professional surfer Matt Wilkinson. Just 15 minutes from the beaches of Byron Bay, Friday Hut Road Estate is a stunning hinterland property, because this venue located just outside of Byron Bay it meant we could avoid some of the strict Byron council guidelines for outdoor weddings and have a more relaxed hinterland wedding. This luxurious venue has a beautiful natural archway which perfectly frames the natural timer arbour providing the perfect location for a ceremony.

 

A real family affair Sarah and Ponsy’s mums cooked all day at the accommodation to make dinner for the reception, while the kids swam in the pool. During the ceremony we live streamed with New Zealand so Ponsy’s family could be a part of the celebration.

 

Upgrading the Barfoot package to include hair and make for mum, Sarah’s sisters and some of the guests, as well as including videography. Being in the hinterland we captured some gorgeous portraits of Sarah and Ponsy in the dappled light through the trees down by a river located on the property as well as some fun shots in the rustic cabana by the pool which suited Sarah’s traditional bouquet of roses and greenery and stunning dress with lace details.

Eliza + Karmen @ Micro Wedding, The Pavilions2 at Broken Head, Byron Bay

Childhood sweethearts Eliza and Kamren met at the local corner shop. As couple who enjoy the outdoors, they chose the perfect location for their Tweed Coast Wedding on the beach at Broken Head. Booking our popular “Micro Wedding” Package which allows couples to create a luxury wedding for up to 40 guests and gives them access to our entire team of vendors.

 

Choosing to stay at our partnered private property Pavillions 2 @ Broken Head. A short distance to their styled ceremony location at Broken head beach. While Eliza and Kamren’s guests stayed at Broken Head Holiday Park located right at the entrance to the beach.

 

This Luxe ceremony was such a fun family affair with close family and friends in attendance, it was one of our largest post-COVID weddings to date. We captured some fun family shots with Eliza and Kamren’s three children playing and having fun in front of the camera.

 

We love it when our whole Team are involved in a wedding! Eliza and Kamren upgraded their package to include: a live musician for the ceremony and reception, videographer, hair and makeup for all the ladies, ceremony styling which included reception table and kids area on the grass, and las but not least a gorgeous wedding cake!

Brittany + Tom @ Broken Head, Byron Bay

Brittany and Tom had planned on having a larger wedding, but like so many couples in 2020 they were forced to rethink their wedding plans (thanks COVID), ultimately deciding to elope to Broken Head in Northern New South Wales. 

It is considered good luck to have rain on your wedding day and it rained during the day and in true Byron Bay style the heavens opens for Brittany and Tom’s ceremony. So, we’re sure they will have so much luck going into their married life. On the plus side the 90% cloud coverage created a natural “filter” with soft, flattering light for our photos.

After their ceremony, Brittany and Tom had decided to book a styled picnic from @klaras_house to enjoy together. James from @karuahmusic serenaded the newlyweds during their beachside picnic setting the mood for romantic break between the ceremony and photos.


James, who played melodies during the ceremony, kept the romantic mood going with his beautiful melodies playing softly on the breeze as we walked along the ‘Three Siters Track’ for the couple’s portraits.  We love using the headland at the end of the track for our wedding portraits, the vistas are truly breathtaking. However, as this area is Aboriginal land we are unable to perform ceremonies here, but the portraits are always magical. While we didn’t get a Golden sunset, the soft light was spectacular on the beach and on the cliffs at the end of the ‘Three Sisters Track’.

Charisse + Robbie @ Broken Head, Byron Bay

Every bit the modern couple Charisse and Robbie met online while on holiday in the Philippines. Meeting for the first time in person 4 months after connecting online! That first hug in the airport sealed the deal for both Charisse and Robbie. For three years Robbie and Charisse were in a long-distance relationship, communicating online and only seeing each other once every few months building a strong foundation for marriage.

Charisse and Robbie were able to share their Byron Bay Wedding with international family who weren’t able to travel via live stream. The couple were joined by small but lively group of friends who were able to share their joy on their wedding day. The guests were heaps of fun jumping and laughing, for our group photos after the ceremony.

The couple chose to elope in Byron Bay, the day was warm and windy with a storm rolling in as we meandered along the 750m long “Three Sisters Track” at Broken Head. A perfect location for truly breathtaking portraits. Sometimes the wind can be quite cool on the cliffs of Broken Head, but Charisse was prepared, bringing with her a handmade wedding jacket with “Just Married” on the back, a beautiful personal touch to their elopement.

Amanda + Rahul @ Broken Head, Byron Bay

Amanda and Rahul met through a friend who had organised a group of friends to do the colour run. Rahul ran up to Amanda and used Joey from Friends line “How you doin?” They chased each other all day, throwing paint and rolling downhills. The run lead to drinks and lunch at the pub and eventually, they looked around to find they were the only ones left, not wanting the day to end.

Eloping from Sydney on the morning of Amanda and Rahul’s wedding it looked like it would rain, but the weatherman promised we would see sunny skies in the afternoon. Typical Byron Bay weather and perfect for those elopement photos and videography. On the cliffs of Broken Head, we knew the clouds would be the perfect backdrop for some dramatic images!

While the sun didn’t make an appearance, Amanda looked beautiful in a traditional sari sent from her new Mother-in-law in India, the striking colour a stunning contrast to the natural beach colours. Amanda further included Rahul’s Indian background wearing traditional white henna on her hands.

Sharing their special day with two friends (thanks COVID) and our beautiful celebrant Leisa from @ceremoniesbyleisa, Amanda and Rahul upgraded their package to include flowers by @_pikt and our oh so popular Kombi from @byronlimokombi and videography by @yellowbullweddings.

Crystal + Jeff @ Byron Bay

Tell us about your love story for your ceremony – how did you meet? Do you have kids, fur babies, hobbies?

We met in New York when I was travelling. We have been doing long distance however, I had moved there for a year and a bit to be together. We meet using Tinder. We had broken up for a couple month but found our way back together.

What has been the main driver for you to elope?

Neither of us like having too much attention. Small and intimate is more comforting.

Where are you from and why did you choose the East Coast to elope?

Im from Brisbane and Jeff is from New York. We love Byron and decided this would be a good idea based on that.

Overall how was your experience eloping?

incredible!

What was the most memorable part of your day?

The first time I saw my husband, after getting my face ready/getting dressed.

What advice do you have for future couples considering an elopement?

If you’re thinking of it – do it! it’s cheap, it’s fun and so close and personal. We really loved it.

What was your experience with Luxe Elopements? Do you have any kind words or testimonials for our team?

The process was really easy going – which is perfect for us, we never planning for anything big or too much to organize. Everyone on her Sarah-Jane’s team were so kind. We received the sneak peak photos recently and almost made me cry – they are beautiful!
