Amber & Lloyd’s Wet Weather Byron Bay Elopement

DAY: FRIDAY | PACKAGE: YOUR EFFORTLESS ELOPEMENT | GUESTS: 0

When Amber and Lloyd planned a holiday in Byron Bay (they’re from South Australia) they thought it would be the perfect opportunity to elope. Not knowing the area and travelling just the two of them, they knew they’d need a little help and that’s when they reached out to us. They had booked accommodation right on Main Beach, so to keep things simple they decided that’s where they would get married. They envisioned a classic Byron Bay sunset ceremony with lots of photos of them frolicking on the beach. We hooked them up with local celebrant Victoria and photographer Kat, as well as a 2nd witness to sign the paperwork (Kat was their other witness). 

As the big day approached we were all watching the weather, and unfortunately, the forecast was not looking favourable. The forecast was rain and wind, and lots of it. Fortunately, Amber and Lloyd were very relaxed – they just wanted to get married! Their accommodation also had a small and leafy undercover outdoor area which is where they said their “I dos”. After a quick outfit change, Kat took them to a nearby restaurant The Mez Club for their couple portraits (for a bit of variety) and a celebratory cocktail, of course!

Amber and Lloyd are the perfect example of how keeping things simple can mean less stress when things don’t quite go to plan. They still shared a beautifully intimate ceremony and got to celebrate in their own unique way, creating beautiful and sure-to-be cherished memories of their holiday in Byron Bay.
