BYRON BAY HINTERLAND WEDDING

Jessica & JarrodGoremans Road wedding, west of Byron Bay

A stormy October day in the hinterland — rain on and off, clear skies for the ceremony, and a sunset of storm light and gold.

Jessica & Jarrod were married at Goremans Road, west of Byron Bay, on a stormy October day. The wedding was a feast for the eyes: two beautiful people, a beautiful venue, a beautiful location. It rained on and off, but it was clear and sunny for the outdoor ceremony, and the sunset was a photographer's dream: a mix of stormy skies and golden light. The reception was one giant laugh-a-minute party: good food, good drink, good times.
