This wedding, booked for The Abbey, Gold Coast venue was cancelled the morning of the wedding because The Gold Coast was flooded. There was no way in or out of the venue they had booked a year before.

The young couple Anna and Ryan took it in their stride and without too much panic booked another wedding venue that morning 31st March 2017. Pacific Surf Life Saving Club came to the rescue and were able to set up a wedding for 45 guests with just 5 hours notice.

Pacific SLSC is absolute beachfront which is obviously great for wedding photography at sunset but with the vintage cars in front it was extra special.  A photographers dream.

I was so impressed at the way the couple and their families handled the stressful change of plans for the wedding and wedding venue.  You would generally think that stress would be the time we see bridezillas ….. but not Anna, so graceful ….. she was just so happy to still be able to marry the man of her dreams no matter where it was.  The fairy tale continued on the beach as if it was always supposed to be there.
