Jayde & Samuel’s Dreamy Garden Elopement. A Love Story Worth the Wait

Some weddings are a perfect reminder that love is about more than just the date. It’s about the journey, the moments, and the people who make it truly special. Jayde and Samuel’s intimate garden elopement was exactly that. Originally set to take place a week earlier, their wedding plans were briefly interrupted by Cyclone Alfred. But in true stress free fashion, they embraced the change. Postponed their special day by a week, and ended up with the most magical celebration imaginable.

As a Brisbane wedding photographer and Gold Coast wedding photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how unexpected challenges can actually lead to the most incredible wedding stories. Jayde and Samuel’s elopement was proof that love, patience, and a positive mindset can turn any situation into something beautiful.

A Serene Garden Elopement, Surrounded by Love

Nestled in the heart of nature. Jayde and Samuel’s wedding day unfolded in the most breathtaking garden setting. With lush greenery, blooming florals, and the golden afternoon sun peeking through the trees. Their ceremony was nothing short of picture perfect. The intimate gathering was made even more special by the fact that they were surrounded by only their closest family and friends just as they had always envisioned.

As Jayde walked down the garden pathway, Samuel’s face lit up with pure emotion. It was one of those moments that reminded everyone present why elopements can be so incredibly meaningful. There was no pressure, no strict timelines just two people deeply in love, committing to forever in the most beautiful way.

A Stress Free Approach to Wedding Planning

One of the most inspiring aspects of Jayde and Samuel’s elopement was their ability to go with the flow. When Cyclone Alfred forced them to reschedule… They didn’t let the unexpected change dampen their excitement. Instead, they simply moved their date to the following weekend, ensuring they could still have the wedding they had always dreamed of without the stress.

This is the beauty of elopements. Without the pressure of a large scale wedding, couples can focus on what truly matters. Their love, their vows, and the people who mean the most to them. Jayde and Samuel’s easygoing approach made the entire experience feel effortless, and their day unfolded with a sense of peace and joy that was felt by everyone in attendance.

Golden Hour Portraits & A Love That Shines

After their heartfelt ceremony, we took advantage of the golden hour light to capture some breathtaking bride and groom portraits. With the natural beauty of the garden as their backdrop, every moment felt like a fairytale. The way they looked at each other, the soft giggles, the tight embraces these are the kinds of moments that make wedding photography so special.

As the sun began to set, the couple and their guests continued their intimate celebration with good food, heartfelt toasts, and endless laughter. The evening was filled with warmth and love, proving that sometimes, the simplest weddings are the most unforgettable.

Jayde and Samuel’s garden elopement was the perfect example of how beautiful a small, intimate wedding can be. It was stress free, deeply personal, and filled with so much love. Their ability to embrace change and focus on what truly mattered made their day even more special.

For couples considering an intimate elopement in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, this is your sign that a small wedding can be just as magical if not more than a traditional big celebration. Whether it’s in a secluded garden, on a stunning beach, or at a meaningful location, elopements allow you to truly savor the moment and celebrate your love in the most authentic way.

Arundel qld newborn photography | Arnhem’s 11 month milestone

How is Arnhem-Sol 11 months old!

I swear I say this every month but the first year truely flies. A mixture between blissful chaos, sleepless nights and a whole lot of snuggles and infinite love! 

I am sure if you’re still in the phase of your babies first year you can totally relate! 

So here we are at 11 months old and it is time to do another milestone photoshoot. I had just finished up a newborn photoshoot that day and was in the middle of packing up the studio whilst Arnhem napped. I just had this urge to pick her up and pose her like a newborn again. 

And she totally let me! Well with a bit of persistence of course! I won’t lie, it probably took me an hour to get her into bottoms up pose without waking her up. Everything I would pose her little hand or foot she would starfish out! But we got there in the end and it was totally worth the patience. 

I love that I have a photo to compare to from her newborn shoot to her 11 month shoot. 

When she was awake and her brother was home, I decided to capture few pictures of the both of them. Arnhem was dressed in her romper from tiny traders and we had used the new bamboo bed prop. They were so cute posing together. 

At 11 months old, they truely have so much personality to capture!

What better way to celebrate than a cakesmash…

Baby Elijah’s first birthday is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than a cakesmash! When Elijah’s mumma Sophie contacted us in regards to doing a cake smash, we got to planning immediately. Sophie expressed how she missed out on getting newborn photography or milestone photography photos done with Elijah. That it was important for them to capture his first birthday smashing a cake.

The session:

Sophie, Elijah’s and Nanny all arrived at the studio to capture some fun and candid birthday cake smash photos. The studio was decorated with a sheer white curtain draping in to add a touch of airy and whimsical feels. A natural handmade green garland hung on twinkle fairly lights. Embellished with a naked cake, topped with fresh baby’s breath flowers.

Elijah’s had a ball in the studio! Freshly walking he found himself running around, giggling and chasing balloons. When Elijah spotted the fluffy rug he immediately need to have it. Obsessed with the fluffy texture he cuddled and rolled on top of it. So we definitely had to bring it into the photography set up. It was too cute not to capture him adoring over it!

After a fun time smashing the cake and listening to bluey. It was time to bring out the splash bath and pack up the cake… Boy oh boy, did sweet baby Elijah’s love the splash bath. He was chuckling and popping all the bubbles. His smile was just contagious, he had all of us laughing!
