Susan & Bruce’s Intimate Elopement at Secrets On The Lake: An Elopement Wedding Photographer’s Perspective

As a wedding photographer that also photographs elopement weddings, I am often privileged to capture the unique and intimate moments that make each wedding special. Susan & Bruce’s elopement at Secrets On The Lake was a perfect example of how a small, elegant celebration can be filled with love and creativity. This lovely couple from Brisbane chose a venue known for its secluded nature, luxury treehouses, and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by an abundance of wildlife, making their wedding day truly memorable.

The Venue: Secrets On The Lake’s Secluded Beauty

Secrets On The Lake is a hidden gem in the stunning Sunshine Coast hinterland, offering a perfect setting for intimate or elopement weddings. With its luxurious treehouses, serene atmosphere, and picturesque surroundings, this venue provides countless opportunities for breathtaking wedding photography. The natural beauty of the location, combined with its tranquility and charm, makes it an ideal choice for couples seeking a private and romantic celebration.

A Day of Sunshine and Creativity

Susan & Bruce’s wedding day was blessed with bright, sunny weather, providing the perfect backdrop for their elopement. The venue was overflowing with stunning photo opportunities, allowing us to get creative with our shots. We moved from location to location on the property, taking advantage of every lighting and backdrop opportunity. Susan’s vibrant red dress, designed by the acclaimed Australian fashion designer Carla Zampatti, who is sadly no longer with us, was one of the stars of the show. The striking contrast of the red dress against the lush greenery of the venue influenced the entire wedding album’s aesthetic.

An Intimate and Fun Celebration

The day was filled with joy and laughter as Susan & Bruce enjoyed the company of a small handful of guests. As an older couple, they wanted an elegant, fun, and streamlined day where they could spend quality time together and with their guests without being bound by the traditions and time constraints of a big wedding. Their choice to have a small, intimate celebration allowed them to focus on what truly mattered: their love for each other and the meaningful connections they shared with their loved ones.

Unique and Personal Moments

One of the most unique aspects of Susan & Bruce’s wedding was their decision to get ready together in the same room at Secrets On The Lake. This choice allowed me to capture moments that many couples miss out on because they choose to follow the old wedding tradition of getting ready separately. The photos of them helping each other get ready, sharing tender moments, and laughing together added a deeply personal touch to their wedding album. These images beautifully conveyed the love and connection between them, creating memories they will cherish forever.

The Grand Finale: A Stunning Wedding Album

Each photo has been carefully selected to tell the story of their elopement, capturing the essence of their love and the unique beauty of Secrets On The Lake.

From the vibrant red dress set against the lush greenery to the intimate moments shared while getting ready together, every page of the album reflects the thought and care that went into making their day special. It’s a curated collection of memories that they can cherish for a lifetime, and I am honoured to have been a part of creating it.
