Chelsie + Locky // Gold Coast Glimmer

Chelsie & Locky | Preston Peak Functions Wedding Film

Chelsie and Locky celebrated their vibrant summer wedding at Preston Peak Functions on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Bright, energetic, and full of joy, their day felt youthful and relaxed, making it the perfect setting for a documentary-style wedding film that captured both playful moments and heartfelt emotion.

The Venue

Located in Preston on the Gold Coast, Preston Peak Functions is a contemporary venue surrounded by open skies and scenic views. The light-filled setting created a fresh, airy atmosphere for the ceremony and reception, allowing the day to flow effortlessly from meaningful moments into celebration. The relaxed layout encouraged guests to mingle, laugh, and fully enjoy the experience.

The Couple

Chelsie and Locky share an easy, natural connection that is full of warmth and fun. Their energy together is playful and affectionate, and it was clear that their wedding day was about celebrating young love in a way that felt genuine and unforced. They approached every moment with excitement, laughter, and a sense of ease.

The Wedding

Their wedding was light-hearted and full of personality. Thoughtful touches, meaningful dances, and relaxed moments like sharing beers during the ceremony gave the day a laid-back charm. From the vows to the father-daughter dance, each moment felt sincere and joyful, creating a celebration that balances emotion with fun.

The Video

From my conversations with Chelsie, I knew her music taste leaned strongly towards pop, so I decided to surprise them by using Into You by Ariana Grande. Their first dance became the creative anchor for this section of the film. They began with a slow, romantic dance, so I slowed the song down, shifted the reception footage into black and white, and let this moment feel moody and intimate. As the music dropped back into its upbeat tempo, they switched into a fun, high-energy dance filled with hip-hop moves. I timed this transition with a light-hearted moment from Locky's speech, where he jokingly thanked Movie World for bringing them together, using it as the beat dropped to carry us straight into the dancefloor. This shift created a seamless transition into the energetic reception moments, capturing both the romance and playful spirit that defined their day. The final wedding highlight film feels fresh, joyful, and full of movement, reflecting the happiness and energy of their celebration.
