Our hearts were so full from helping Kellimay & Joe + their adorable children, celebrate a divine elopement in Byron Bay, on the sands of Belongil Beach! We scored full sun, an empty section of paradise, so many gorgeous emotions and a rainbow to finish off a perfect adventure. The photos below really do tell the best story of all the good vibes. We were humbled to have this elopement feature in Polka Dot brides.
The A Team: Photog - Bird & Boy Photography / Celebrant - Benjamin Carlyle / Blooms - Lolas Wildflowers / Beauty - Bunny & Bohe / Kombi - Byron Bay Kombis
From the Polkadot Bride Blog: "The wedding..make it your own!" advises Kellimay. "Don't succumb to cultural or societal expectations because at the end of the day it's about YOU and the love you have for each other that got you to where you are today. Don't sweat the small stuff, have both parties involved and have fun! Keep love, understanding and consideration at the centre of your planning because after all, it's a team event." Wanting their day to be as easy and as fuss-free as possible, these two hired Hitched In Paradise to plan every detail - from the flowers to the celebrant, to the transport! Ben Carlyle Celebrant made it official. "Our ceremony was very relaxed, our whole day was actually - it didn't feel like we were getting married at all! It was calm, go with the flow vibe which was exactly what we wanted." One of the couple's favourite parts of the day was being able to include their children. "It was exactly what we wanted and how we spoke about it in our planning the months leading up." Kellimay and Joseph adored their choice of photographers - Bird and Boy Photography. "This husband and wife team are so professional and make you feel like you've known each other for years. Guides you on how to pose without making you feel stupid! The kindest most genuine couple. They also did our videography which was nothing short of spectacular. Can't recommend this duo enough!"
