Tara + Lewis

 
 

Cradle Mountain is stunning at any time of the year, rain or shine! So it was a no brainer for Tara and Lewis to choose this spectacular location for their adventurous winter elopement.

We hopped onto the shuttle from Cradle Mountain Lodge as storm clouds loomed overhead, armed with umbrellas and excitement. With freezing temperatures and non-stop rain, we had no choice but to fully immerse ourselves in the magical alpine landscapes that surrounded us. Thanks to the sketchy weather, we ended up having the whole of Cradle Mountain to ourselves! An even rarer treat!

We did a short hike to Dove Lake, with the bride and groom bravely navigating the slippery walkways in their formal attire. The elopement ceremony was set against snow capped mountain peaks shrouded in fog and dramatic glacial lake views. The rich earthy tones of the wintery flora and fauna popped out against the dark weather and the setting couldn't have been more perfect!
