The groom is wearing a neutral green suit with brown boots and a white shirt and is holding the bride on his back. She's wearing a two-piece champagne silk outfit with gold boots and a long veil.

For day 3 of our 12 Days of Dottie Loves, we present Charlotte & Ismail’s intimate elopement, featured way back in March! The further we dive into summer, the more waterfront content we want to see – and their ceremony overlooking the water in Brisbane is the perfect inspo.⁠

This beautiful couple celebrated their marriage surrounded by their loved ones, both physically and virtually!⁠

“One piece of advice that we wish we had gotten was to hire a coordinator for the day. There were a few delays/issues that came up, and it would have been nice to have a coordinator manage these issues and keep us on top of the run sheet.” – @dizzierae⁠

Ever wonder what happens when you invite yourself to lunch? You meet your future husband, of course!⁠
