Gold Coast Beach & Park Weddings

Wedding Photography and Videography

Some of our favourite weddings don't happen at a venue at all. On the Gold Coast you can say "I do" on the sand at Currumbin Point, under the pines at Pizzey Park or by the water at Coolangatta, or plan a surprise proposal on the beach or the canals. We've filmed & photographed many of these with Gold Coast PopUp Weddings, our partners for more than six years.

Public beaches and parks on the Gold Coast can be used for ceremonies, and some locations need a booking or permit from City of Gold Coast. Pop-up wedding companies take care of the setup, styling and bookings for you. Choose a beach access point with parking nearby and a backup plan for wind and rain.

Gold Coast Beach Wedding Locations

From sandy beach ceremonies to coastal parks and beachfront receptions, the Gold Coast offers beautiful places to celebrate your wedding. We have included locations from our own wedding photography and videography portfolio, alongside other coastal options to explore.

Main Beach

Main Beach offers golden sand, ocean views and the Gold Coast skyline as a backdrop. We captured Tom and Tamita’s surprise picnic proposal here—a lovely example of how special a simple beach setting can be.
