Glen Albyn Estate, Hobart & Cradle Mountain, Tasmania
A Dreamy Destination Wedding: Lizzy & Stephen’s Celebration at Glen Albyn Estate
We absolutely love destination weddings, and when Lizzy and Stephen told us they had chosen Glen Albyn Estate in Hobart, Tasmania, for their big day, it was an easy and enthusiastic yes from us!
The Journey Begins
Packing our bags in Sydney, we made the journey to Hobart, excited for what was to come. The wedding day greeted us with overcast skies and a brisk wind, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of our adventurous couple in the slightest.
A Morning of Elegance
Lizzy and Stephen each got ready in beautiful, light-filled Airbnbs, the perfect canvas for capturing those intimate pre-ceremony moments. The soft natural light made for dreamy, elegant portraits that set the tone for the rest of the day.
A Pop of Colour
One of the standout elements of this wedding was the vibrant florals. The couple chose an array of colorful flowers that truly made the day pop, adding a warm and joyful energy to every frame.
The Ceremony: Love on the Water
Glen Albyn Estate is nothing short of breathtaking, perched above the River Derwent with stunning views from every angle. Lizzy and Stephen exchanged vows on a picturesque boardwalk over the water, creating an intimate and magical atmosphere that was simply unforgettable.
A Reception to Remember
The celebration continued with an emotional and laughter-filled reception. Tears of joy, heartfelt speeches, and a dance floor that radiated energy made for an incredible night of festivities. Every moment was a testament to the love and joy that surrounded Lizzy and Stephen on their special day.
An Epic Post-Wedding Adventure
But the magic didn’t stop there! A few days later, we embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with the newlyweds. Driving 350km to Cradle Mountain, we geared up for an epic climb to Marion’s Lookout—7km up to a breathtaking 1,200m peak. The weather was absolutely perfect, with crystal-clear skies and not a soul in sight. Capturing wedding portraits at the top was nothing short of surreal.
After the exhilarating ascent, we decided to take the harder 7km route back down (probably not our best decision, but worth it for the views!). Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, we arrived at Dove Lake just in time for a stunning sunset session. The golden hues reflecting off the water provided the perfect finishing touch to an already unforgettable wedding experience.
A Wedding to Remember
Lizzy and Stephen’s wedding was a true adventure from start to finish, blending breathtaking landscapes, heartfelt moments, and boundless love. From Glen Albyn Estate to the peaks of Cradle Mountain, this wedding was a dream come true.
