Best of 2019 Wedding Photos - Sunshine Coast, Australian Destination Photographers

2019 was an action packed year for us and our of wedding photography business. In October we photographed 9 weddings in 3 weeks during October. One of these weddings was in country Victoria and four of them were destination weddings on Fraser Island. The rest of them were on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. It was an absolutely bonkers busy time but we loved all of the awesome brides and grooms we worked and created with. Not only that we had a blast meeting all of the bridal parties, family and friends from each and every one of these weddings. We also travelled to New Zealand earlier in the year for a gorgeous destination wedding in Russell (Bay of Islands). We do love ourselves an international destination wedding!

We managed to finish the year by winning a couple of international wedding photography awards too. The first was a Fearless Award which is beyond an honour considering there were over ten thousand photos entered into the competition. The second and most recent was a third placing in the “From Above” category of (this one’s a mouthful) the International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards. Both of these award winning images are pictured just below this text.

Oh and just before Christmas our main Instagram account @alltheloveintheworld_photos was hijacked and has been turned into a Turkish jewellery page. We had 39.1k followers, yep nearly 40, 000. So if you hapen to know how to get a completely hijacked Instagram account (they changed the email and password associated with the account) back we would LOVE to hear from you. Even better if you know someone that works for Instagram please hook us up!

It has been a brilliant year though and we’re so thankful to all the loved up newly married couples we have had the privilege of working with - THANK YOU!!! And to all the wedding vendors we have worked with on the Sunshine Coast and beyond, thank you for your friendship and laughs throughout the year - what a great bunch you all are.

We are so looking forward to photographing all of the couples who have already booked us to photograph their weddings and we can’t wait to meet loads more of you newly engaged couples in the upcoming months. We do love talking ceremonies, receptions, drones, sunset times (yep we’re nerdy like that), cakes, flowers and of course photography, with the newly engaged folk from around the world.

Big Love and a super happy new year to you all!

Thank you to all the awesome, now married couples we’ve worked with in 2018 and also a big thank you to the wedding ceremony and reception staff, owners, helpers and guests who have made our year rich in laughter, love and everything in between.

Melbourne Town Hall Wedding - Tara and Adem - Sunshine Coast Photographers

Tara and Adem don't play by the rules. This unique, warm and super friendly duo officially got married at the Flinders Street Station photo booth weeks before their BIG wedding at Melbourne Town Hall. They did this so that their Mums and Grandma could participate in marrying them in front of 225 of their dearest friends and family.
So, the bride and groom's bridal party and couple portraits were taken mostly while casually walking the streets of Melbourne (Tara & Adem's request) before their ceremony. Photos in a Melbourne laneway, their beloved Flinders Street photobooth and at Ben and Jerry's Icecreamery were a must.
The ceremony banner was created by the bride herself - AHHHmazing. Some other innovative ideas featured at the reception consisted of a craft table, pinata forest, miniature photobooth beside their cake, micro coffee cart and an epic swing band! Oh, and Tara rocked a floral boa instead of a bouquet - seriously above and beyond awesome.
This was an extremely unique, fun-filled, heartfelt, innovative and creative wedding day with so much love given and received by the bride and groom and all who attended this epic occasion.
We wish you all the love, happiness and laughter in the world Tara & Adem!
Enjoy...

Kilmore, Melbourne Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Australian Photographers

When Adam and Michelle asked Mikala and I to photograph their wedding in Kilmore (near Melbourne), Australia we immediately said yes. Then I actually thought about the prospect and became a little nervous. Adam is the guy who mentored and encouraged us to pursue wedding photography seriously.

The nerves were completely unnecessary as this gorgeous pair are so relaxed, so kind and so very generous. We all enjoyed the stunning weather that Michelle's hometown of Kilmore turned on for their epic local church wedding ceremony framed by historic stained glass windows and bluestone walls.

We explored just a few of the thousands of acres of the property the wedding was held on and took some portraits with the wedding party before heading back to a giant shed for the reception. But this was no ordinary shed or reception.

Michelle and Adam along with their family and friends spent months designing, sourcing and creating the decorations that adorned the reception shed. It. was. EPIC. The decked out shed was an amazing reflection of the bride and groom's love and the love that surrounds them. Divine.

Thank you Michelle and Adam for choosing us to capture your extraordinary day!

Enjoy the creative visual feast they created - DIY wedding heaven.
