Elegant Romance at Braeside
Charlotte & Michael
Their Love Story
Charlotte and Michael’s story kicked off with a few cheeky Instagram likes… but not just your average scroll. We’re talking deep likes ... two years back kind of deep. Naturally, Charlotte called him out, and from there the messages flew.
Their first date felt like a scene from a rom-com: Michael in a velvet chair sipping Pinot Noir, Charlotte walking in with that signature green satin dress, butterflies were fluttering and time stood still.
Fast forward a few years and a toddler later, and these two are not just building a life together, they’re building a family with their son Winston and making each other laugh every single day.
It’s the real stuff, early morning coffees, heartfelt notes, and the occasional (highly embarrassing) dance move in the kitchen. Their vows had everyone reaching for tissues. This wasn’t just a wedding, it was the next chapter of a deeply intentional, joyful, and love-filled life together.
STYLE, HEART AND an elegant CHARM.
Charlotte and Michael’s wedding was the perfect blend of style, heart, and laidback charm. Set at Braeside Estate in the Gold Coast, their wedding celebrations had all the warmth and personal touches that make this wedding so unforgettable.

A Little About the Celebration
Braeside set the perfect tone for their day: a stunning blend of elegance, intimacy, and warmth. The vibe? Unfiltered joy. From a heartfelt ceremony with sweet tributes to loved ones passed, to vows that had everyone dabbing their eyes (us included), and then into a reception where the laughs didn’t stop, it felt personal in every way.
Charlotte and Michael made the day feel like them: classy but light-hearted, emotional but fun, deeply meaningful but never too serious. And with little Winston joining in the celebration, the family vibes were next level. We felt more like guests than vendors and that’s all on how welcoming and kind these two are.
