Gold Coast Elopement Photography and Video | Janine and Sean
Bjorn Schmal • May 27, 2023
Romantic elopement with Janine and Sean on the shores of the Gold Coast- check out their hilarious wedding video! Love can us to the most extraordinary places, and for Janine and Sean, their journey brought them to the shores of the Gold Coast. My favourite thing about this couple was how relaxed they were! They gave me full creative license to play around with their photos, and when they BOTH forgot the rings in the middle of the ceremony, no one panicked! We just ran back to the car, and captured the hilarious blooper on film (Check out their wedding video highlight reel below). Nothing could keep this couple down, and their photos and video both turned out lovely.

The key to enjoying your wedding day and staying calm in the midst of all the excitement is to have a plan for managing stress.
I’m sharing some simple, effective tips to help you handle wedding day nerves, stay grounded, and be fully present as you say "I do"—whether you're tying the knot in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, or the beautiful hinterland of the Scenic Rim.
