Josh and Carly chose an intimate bayside ceremony at G.J.
Walter Park, Cleveland, with four special guests, followed by a reception
dinner with family and friends at the nearby Grand View Hotel.
Josh arrived first with his brother-in-law, looking sharp in
a black suit and teal blue tie. His mum soon joined him in a royal blue dress.
Carly arrived with her dad in an immaculate 1951 Jaguar Mk 5.
Greg wore a dapper checked suit, while Carly looked elegant in an ivory satin gown
with a deep V neckline, low back, beaded veil, classic upstyle, and white rose
bouquet.
Josh had been calm and collected, but softened as soon as he
saw Carly walking towards him. They took hands beneath the shady Moreton Bay fig
tree.
Set on the edge of Moreton Bay, G.J. Walter Park provided a natural,
quietly elegant backdrop for their vows. The ceremony felt intimate, relaxed,
and deeply romantic.
After photos by the bay, the couple headed to the Grand View
Hotel, where they surprised guests at their engagement party by revealing they
were actually celebrating their marriage. With its history, bay views, and
welcoming atmosphere, it was a beautiful place to share a meal and toast their
new beginning.
The reception brought heartfelt speeches, laughter,
beautiful food, and time for guests to connect. Cleveland’s relaxed coastal
charm paired perfectly with the warmth of the Grand View Hotel.
From their micro ceremony to their joyful party reception,
Carly and Josh’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and togetherness.
