Wedding Photography Byron Bay

Sarah and Sam were wed before a beautiful backdrop of Belongil Beach, in a magical ceremony attended by some of their closest friends and family. The wedding styling made full use of the beautiful, natural scenery, creating a stunning boho look for the day’s celebrations.

Sarah and Sam defined their relationship as strong, understanding and ever-changing, with Sam telling us that Sarah’s beauty, professionalism and sense of humour were the things that really stood out for him. For Sarah, it was Sam’s commitment, honesty and of course his smile!

The pair met when they were just 16, and the rest, as they say, is history. Sam proposed to Sarah at sunset, in the Crystal Creek rainforest retreat. Before long they were hard at work planning their wedding day.

The reception took place at Bliss and Willow at The Belongil, and the entire place was adorned in beautiful blooms from Lola’s Wildflowers for the day. Sarah’s dress was from Grace Loves Lace, and Sam chose a suit from Peter Jackson.

I asked the happy couple to tell us about their stand out moments from the day, and they both mentioned those all-important speeches! For Sam, one of the best parts was seeing his new wife walking down the aisle, to the sounds of Rise by Eddie Vedder. For Sarah it was those romantic vows that really made the day sensational.

Following an intimate ceremony with celebrant Siobhan Adams, the couple took to the dance floor for their first dance. Sarah and Sam chose to dance to ‘there will be time’ by Baba Maal and Mumford and Sons. Soon after they were joined by their guests to party the night away.

The happy couple jetted off on honeymoon together shortly after the wedding, and what a honeymoon it was. Sarah and Sam travelled all over Europe, visiting France, Spain, Portugal and Italy. What a way to start married life!
