They began their elopement day at [Cradle Mountain Lodge](https://www.cradlemountainlodge.com.au/), where they got ready with excitement, anticipation, hair by [Ben O’Brien](https://benobrienhairstylist.com.au/), and makeup by [Liv Rodgers](https://www.instagram.com/livrodgersmua/). The talented team from [Bulb Creative](https://www.bulbcreative.co/) captured these final, precious moments, including April’s final steps into her [Karen Willis Holme](https://karenwillisholmes.com/)s dress. They then departed for their ceremony at Dove Lake, where the rugged beauty of the landscape provided a stunning natural canvas for their vows. With celebrant [Josh Withers](https://marriedbyjosh.com/) officiating, the ceremony was a heartfelt celebration of their love, unmarred by the absence of florals, allowing their pure emotions to take center stage. As the sun began to set, the couple, surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscape, shared tender [portraits](https://www.bulbcreative.co/blogs/april-josh), warm embraces, and joyful celebrations, all created by [The Elopement Collective](https://elopementcollective.com/). ## The Collective - [Josh Withers](https://elopementcollective.com/collective/josh-withers)Celebrant - [Bulb
