The team from Elope Brisbane travelled across to North Stradbroke Island just as the first rays of light were just lifting from the horizon. After a quick stop at the bakery for a freshly baked chocolate croissant, it was all action as we set up a white hexagonal arbour and white Americana chairs on Home Beach.
Sarah and Jamal limited their guest list to just their parents to ensure an intimate wedding experience with minimal fuss. As the morning ripened, the couple walked down to the beach, hand in hand, and took their places under the arbour.
Sarah, her dark hair curled, looked a vision in a strapless dress with applique. The 8 layers of fabric created a full train. She wore a long veil pinned in her hair. Jamal was chic and relaxed in a sand coloured suit with a white shirt. He chose to skip the tie.
The couple chose country music songs for their ceremony, “Millionaire” by Chris Stapleton, “Livin on Love” by Alan Jackson, and “Happy Anywhere” by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.
They opted for a short and sweet ceremony, and before too long, the couple were officially hitched.
They headed off around the coastline for some beautiful photos under the clear, blue autumn skies. They both had Akubra hats handy for photo time, which were a very cute prop.
After a lunch of calamari and chips, the Elope Brisbane team headed back to the jetty for the boat ride home. The couple and their families made their way to the Straddie Brewing Co for a celebratory lunch.
What a fabulous way to celebrate their marriage - relaxed, simple, and just radiant!
