Chelsea & Joel | InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Wedding

​

​

Chelsea and Joel celebrated their elegant October wedding at the stunning InterContinental Sanctuary Cove with our 9-hour Signature Collection, adding an extra hour of photography coverage to capture even more of their beautiful reception celebrations. Timeless architecture and luxurious surroundings created the perfect backdrop for their day, while Chelsea spent the morning getting ready in the beautiful on-site bridal suite, where soft natural light made every bridal portrait feel effortlessly romantic.

​

After meeting through work in early 2022, Chelsea and Joel fell in love quickly and became engaged just eight months later. Looking ahead to a future filled with family and new adventures together, they celebrated the beginning of married life in a day that was both elegant and deeply personal. Chelsea looked absolutely stunning in her Pearl Bridal gown, whose timeless design perfectly complemented the sophisticated style of the day.

​

Their heartfelt ceremony took place in The Chapel before guests gathered outside for a joyful confetti exit. As a passionate drag racer, Chelsea incorporated two classic cars into the celebrations, adding a meaningful personal touch before we explored the chapel grounds, fountain and gardens for relaxed portraits. We especially loved capturing beautiful backlit veil portraits as the afternoon light began to soften.

​

The celebrations continued inside The Fireplace, where guests were welcomed into an intimate reception filled with warm candlelight, delicate floral styling and a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. After the formalities, we stepped back outside for night portraits on the grand staircase and beneath Sanctuary Cove's fairy-lit trees, creating a magical ending to an unforgettable and timeless wedding.
