Jenna and Tim’s Gold Coast wedding was the perfect mix of coastal elegance and laid-back celebration. They tied the knot right on the beach, with the sound of waves behind them, warm sun above, and close family and friends gathered around.

I captured their day in my signature documentary style — unobtrusively, focusing on candid moments, emotion, and honest storytelling.

It was a simple, genuine wedding full of joy.

After the ceremony, we took a quiet walk into a nearby pine forest. The filtered light through the trees created a calm, intimate setting, a perfect contrast to the brightness of the beach. Jenna and Tim were relaxed, enjoying the moment together. I gave them a few gentle prompts, like standing close, touching foreheads, and walking side by side to keep things natural and unposed.

We finished the portraits on the shoreline, just before the sun dipped too low. The wind picked up slightly, giving movement to Jenna’s dress and hair, and the light turned golden, one of my favourite parts of any wedding day.

The celebration continued at Burleigh Pavilion, one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic beachside venues. The vibe was casual and stylish, with stunning ocean views and incredible afternoon light pouring into the space.

Jenna and Tim’s guests enjoyed cocktails, music, and heartfelt speeches before the dance floor kicked off. I stayed through the evening to capture the energy, the laughter, and all the spontaneous moments as the party unfolded.

 Jenna and Tim’s day was everything I love about photographing weddings: real moments, no stress, beautiful light, and a couple who simply wanted to be present with their people.

If you’re planning a wedding on the Gold Coast, whether it’s a beachfront ceremony or a reception at Burleigh Pavilion, I’d love to quietly document your day just like this, with calm presence, candid storytelling, and natural portraits that feel like you.
