What an absolutely perfect day it was for Paul and Kristy’s Somerset Dam (close to the Sunshine Coast) wedding! A warm spring day, a clear sky and a massive bunch of awesome people who couldn’t stop smiling (apart from when they were crying happy tears!).
The bride and groom booked their getting ready accomodation separately without realizing their houses were across the road from each other in the town of Somerset! Luckily there were no groom or groomsmen glimpses of the bride before she headed over to the Somerset Dam ceremony site (hosted by gorgeous Bebe’s Country Weddings). Kristy and her bridesmaids were prepped, preened and perfected in the old Somerset Dam school house which was full of history and rustic charm. Paul and his groomsmen got ready in quite the opposite style of accomodation - white walls, modern and air conditioned comfort. Opposites attract.
The nerve situation became paramount when the wedding cars carrying the bride, her bridesmaids and family appeared at the top of Bebe’s property driveway. The nerves quickly dissipated and turned into excitement though when Paul and Kristy were finally united in front of all their nearest and dearest friends and family. It was a beautiful ceremony set with the spectacular, sweeping Somerset Dam views in the background. The bride and groom’s kiss was epic and punctuated by outrageous celebratory applause from all the guests.
After the ceremony we took some family photographs and a group photo with our trusty drone, capturing the brilliance of Somerset Dam and the surrounding mountains. Then we headed over to Bebe’s Farmhouse which was a real treat for the bridal party and married couple portraits. There were beers and laughs and motorbikes and sheds mixed in with a superb sunset.
The bridal party then b-lined over to Coronation Hall in Somerset town where they made a grand entrance to their beloved family and friends. There were some wonderful speeches made, great pizzas demolished, delicious beer and wine consumed, a stunning cake cut, some very emotional featured dances followed by everyone absolutely cutting sick (do the kids even say that these days?) on the dance floor!
What an awesome wedding day, at an epic wedding venue with a completely loved up couple and their besties.
We wish you all the happiness and love in the world Paul and Kristy!
Big Love,
Jesse & Mikala X
