Our bride and groom held a very small, very personal ceremony at Govetts Leap Lookout in Blackheath, with just family & their closest friends.
Off She Goes
Before the ceremony, the bride had just a few moments with her mum & sis, before Dad walked her down the winding path to her groom.
The Official Business
At the cliff’s edge, in full Australian sun, the bride and groom were wed in a short and sweet ceremony, with their closest family there as witness.
We took a few minutes after the ceremony for family, before all but our bridal party left for the pub.
Even with a little one on the way, our bride was still up for the short (But steep) walk down for a better view of Bridal Veil Falls.
These lower lookouts are much quieter, and more immersed in the beauty of the area, and make for much calmer portraits. Fair warning though: It’s not an easy walk back up in a wedding dress.
Once we climbed back up to the main lookout, I bid farewell to the newlyweds, who headed off to the pub, to start married life with a good meal and their family.

A couple of bonus notes if you’re planning an elopement at Govetts Leap
Parking is free, but can fill up, and there’s not many parks at the lookout itself. There’s overflow parking up the hill, but it’s a little bit of a walk.
There’s not much shade here, so a midday ceremony can be pretty bright if it’s a cloud-free day.
The steps down to the lower lookouts are steep, and can get slippery, so if you’re willing to brave the climb out, bring a spare pair of shoes! If you move slowly to avoid breaking a sweat in your wedding dress, it’ll take you roughly 15min to mosey back up.
