There’s something truly special about celebrating love in its simplest form-and this elopement at Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens is the perfect example of just that.
With the tranquil bamboo-fringed lake as their backdrop, our couple tied the knot in a ceremony that was all about happiness, friendship, and the effortless beauty of nature.

A Secluded Garden Ceremony, Surrounded by Friends
Choosing this secluded area with a lake backdrop, the couple embraced the natural serenity of the gorgeous botanical gardens for their ceremony. The towering bamboo and softly flowing water created a peaceful, intimate setting.
With their close friends as guests, the atmosphere was light, happy, and completely stress-free. A true celebration of love and friendship.

Celebrant Jamie Eastgate: Making It Easy, Seamless and Memorable
Guiding the ceremony was Celebrant Jamie Eastgate, known for his warm, engaging style and ability to create relaxed, meaningful moments. Jamie’s approach ensures every couple feels comfortable and every ceremony flows seamlessly, allowing everyone to simply be present and enjoy the moment.
Happiness filled the air as Jamie shared their short and sweet ceremony. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows and rings, before being introduced as married to the enthusiastic cheers and applause of their friends.




Fun Photos in the Gardens
The Botanic Gardens truly offer endless photo opportunities, so after the ceremony, the couple joined their photographer Trang and wandered through the beautiful botanic gardens, capturing those just-married smiles and laughter against a backdrop of lush greenery and winding garden paths.







Celebrating Love Their Way
With the morning ceremony and photos complete, the newlyweds and their friends set off to continue the celebrations over lunch at one of their favourite restaurants.
