Sharon & Bryan dreamed of a wedding day filled with fun, laughter, and a little adventure. The Gold Coast Waterfall Elopement we created delivered it all. 🌿 From their First Look in a tall forest of trees to a creekside ceremony by a waterfall, and finishing with sunset portraits on the beach, this was an epic journey through some of the most stunning landscapes South East Queensland has to offer.
To add even more joy, Sharon surprised Bryan with a hilarious First Look prank — her friend showing up in an inflatable T-Rex outfit before the real reveal. 😂 It set the tone for a day full of big smiles, happy tears, and unforgettable moments.
With Van Middleton behind the lens for extended coverage, every detail of their adventure was captured beautifully — from rainforest magic to golden beach light. Just 20 minutes from the coast, this Gold Coast Hinterland gem offers it all: waterfalls, wildlife, rainforest, and sandy shores. Truly paradise.
