The Lakehouse Folk Wedding

Elisha and Josh's wedding at The Lakehouse Folk in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland was nothing short of magical. These two, who are as kind-hearted as they are family-focused, chose to celebrate their love with a heartfelt and intimate micro wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends. With the stunning Lake Baroon as their ceremony backdrop and golden light streaming over the rolling green hills of Montville, every moment was picture-perfect.

Their day was masterfully brought together by the talented team at Elope to Sunshine Coast, with celebrant Stacey Morris delivering a touching and personal ceremony. Elisha looked radiant, thanks to Makeup by Marlies, and the dreamy florals by House of Flowers added just the right touch of elegance. Afterward, the couple and their guests shared a seated meal on the balcony of their accommodation, enjoying delicious, on-site catering by Thistle in the Woods.

This intimate celebration captured the true essence of a Sunshine Coast Hinterland wedding: beautiful scenery, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable memories. Scroll down to see highlights from Elisha and Josh's special day!
