Bonnie & Chad, along with their adorable daughter Sadie (a strong contender for cutest baby ever!), ran to the light-filled beauty of Byron Bay to tie the knot in the most heartfelt and intimate way. Their chosen option? None other than a Byron Bay Elopement at the Lighthouse, perched at the most easterly point of Australia, overlooking the dazzling Bay of Byron.
After weeks of rain, Byron turned it on with blue skies and a gentle breeze. We found a shady, serene nook near the lighthouse so young Sadie could sit rug-side, watching on as Mum & Dad held hands, exchanged vows, and shed the sweetest happy tears.
With Benjamin Carlyle delivering a heartfelt and warm ceremony, the emotion was real, romantic, and full of love.
Here’s how their Byron Bay Elopement at the Lighthouse unfolded:
- 💍 A relaxed, boho-style ceremony with little Sadie giggling through it all
- 🌸 Bonnie’s bouquet from Pikt matched the vibe perfectly
- 📸 After saying “I Do”, the couple explored the cliffs of Cape Byron National Park
- 🌊 Then down to Wategos Beach for more relaxed family portraits
- 💦 Bonnie & Chad even walked into the ocean together at sunset—pure magic!
- 👶 With another little one on the way, this celebration was all about love, laughter, and connection
- 🧡 A true reminder of the joy and beauty in keeping things intimate and stress-free
This Hitched in Paradise elopement was everything: soft light, warm hearts, and a love that radiated from the cliffs to the sea.
