Capturing Love in the Hills: Caitlin and Timothy’s Brockhurst Farm Wedding
At Storyteller Films, we had the distinct pleasure of capturing the love story of Caitlin and Timothy against the breathtaking backdrop of Brockhurst Farm in the D’Aguilar Ranges. This rustic gem, nestled in the charming town of Dayboro, just an hour from Brisbane, provided the perfect canvas for a relaxed and customizable country wedding.
A DIY Dream at Brockhurst Farm
Brockhurst Farm, perched on a mountain amidst 22 acres of rolling hills, offered an idyllic setting with a stunning view of Brisbane. What makes this venue truly unique is its DIY wedding package. Simplifying the decision-making process, the owners present a straightforward option: you hire the farm for three days and two nights, exclusively yours. The package accommodates up to 80 guests, and yes, you can even bring your furry friends along – it’s a dog-friendly venue.
The property’s charm extends beyond its human guests; farm animals and wildlife are scattered around, creating a serene atmosphere. Under the vast night sky, adorned with stars, Brockhurst Farm exudes a magical quality. However, for winter weddings, cozying up near a fire might be the best way to enjoy the mist rolling across the mountains.
Ceremony and Reception Spaces
For Caitlin and Timothy, the ceremony was a picturesque affair. With numerous unique locations spread across the 22 acres, they chose a spot with timber benches, an antique school desk, and chairs, creating an intimate ambiance. The purpose-built barn, adorned with fairy lights, served as the reception venue – a canvas ready for the couple’s personal touch. The package includes essentials like trestle tables, chairs, a food preparation area, BBQ, and a fire pit.
Given its self-catered nature, Brockhurst Farm encourages couples to bring their food and alcohol. The venue provides a list of local suppliers for convenience, ensuring a seamless experience. For inspiration, the website offers a gallery of stunning photos showcasing the possibilities.
Photographs and Footage: A Drone’s View
As a videographer, capturing the essence of Caitlin and Timothy’s love was a delight, especially in the picturesque surroundings of Brockhurst Farm. The expansive 22 acres, surrounded by trees and open fields, provided a perfect canvas for drone footage, creating a visual symphony of love against nature’s backdrop.
Accommodation: Cozy Cabins Amidst Nature
The wedding package included cabins for Caitlin, Timothy, and their guests. These cabins, while great for getting ready and staying in, presented a cozy but dark ambiance owing to their entirely wooden structure. The unique 1-bedroom “Top Cottage” added a touch of charm to the accommodations, creating a retreat within nature.
A Serene Retreat in the Hills
In conclusion, Brockhurst Farm left a lasting impression on us. As a venue where everything is conveniently in one place, it eliminates the need to venture elsewhere. The serenity of the surroundings, however, comes with a few rules, ensuring a respectful celebration for everyone involved. For couples drawn to this style of wedding, a trip to Mount Mee to explore Brockhurst Farm and the charming town of Dayboro is a must.
If you’re planning your wedding and envision a serene and customizable celebration, Brockhurst Farm might be the perfect fit. Feel free to reach out to Storyteller Films for any queries or to discuss how we can capture the unique essence of your upcoming wedding.
