Ellie and Dean said their vows right at the water's edge at Little Cove — a small circle of white chairs under leaning palms, the calm waters of the Coral Sea stretching out behind them, with a handful of the people who mattered most looking on.


They kept things small and simple — no big production, just an intimate elopement with their nearest and dearest gathered close, exactly the kind of low-key, no-fuss day Little Cove does so well.
