Tweed Coast
Elizabeth + Peter @ Robert Dixon Park, Kingscliff
Lauren + Todd @ Bramblewood, Tweed Coast
Jodie + Justin @ Cabarita
Christina + Byron @ Cabarita Cove, Tweed Coast
Christina and Byron met each other at school after a friend introduced them, their first official date, at 14 (awwww) was at a local park. Now 10 years on the couple have two beautiful children together and one on the way.
Initially booking a Byron Bay wedding, but with Byron opening up around the same time all the accommodation was booked. So the couple elected to book an Airbnb in near by Murwillumbah along the river and an easy 15 minute drive to Cabarita Cove.
Cabarita Cove is a small, picturesque bay located nearby to Australia’s number one rated beach Cabarita. The Cove is one of our favourite places to hold an elopement or wedding ceremony. Electing to get married with just them and their two children, the ceremony was nestled on Cabarita Cove Beach with the Panama trees and the headland providing natural privacy and a beautiful backdrop to the celebration.
After the ceremony and some shots on the beach we meandered along the easy walk (even for the children) to the Caba headland. The Golden Light from the Headland to take in the spectacular views a combinations that creates magical portraits.

Lauri + Levi @ Bramblewood Farm, Tweed Hinterlands
Locals to the Gold Coast area Lauri and Levi were looking for a simple Byron Bay elopement with just immediate family and their gorgeous little girl, Millie. The couple chose Signature Collection with styled ceremony package, and selected our newest property, Bramblewood on the Tweed Coast as the venue for their laidback wedding.
Located in the Tweed Valley this venue gives couples spectacular ocean views from Coolangatta all the way to Surfers Paradise! The rolling hills of this quintessential farm venue meant photography, done by yours truly, meant that we had quite the adventure getting photos and videography to capture the beautiful afternoon sun. Martin and I jumped in the back of Lauri and Levi’s car and we followed Bramblewood owner Daniel through cow paddocks and up to the top of the ridge for some epic sunset portraits.
Lauri and Levi’s first date was a picnic at Brunsweck Heads. Levi organised the date, but it turns out he didn’t really organise very much forgetting to bring a rug or any food or drinks. Instead getting fish and chips and sitting on the grass to eat. The images from their wedding pay homage to their first date. Sitting on a log in a grassy field imagining their lives together.
Congratulations Lauri and Levi!

Caitlin + Anthony @ Froggy’s Beach Coolangatta Gold Coast
Caitlin wore a Cinderella inspired blue dress with to-die-for blue velvet heels! Her flowers, by @sevenbloomscasuarina, created a dramatic contrast using bright blooms in pink, peach and purples. Celebrant Leisa from @ceremoniesbyleisa ensured everyone was properly sanitised during the signing of the official paperwork, using a nearby rock as the official signing table. Anthony looking pretty happy with his new wife giving everyone the two thumbs up after signing.
As the sunset, Caitlin and Anthony added a personal touch to their wedding day photos Anthony brought his fishing rod along to use in some of the portraits as an inside joke with Caitlin, as he is always ‘Gone Fishing’. Personal touches like these are a fun addition to more traditional wedding images, especially when you have a beautiful backdrop such as those found in Byron Bay and the southern Gold Coast.
