This bride and groom are used to wide open spaces in the country so it's only fitting they chose Ocean View Estates (Mount mee) just north of The Sunshine Coast. Ocean View Estates is one seriously stunning wedding venue with beautiful views and absolutely delicious, gourmet food.
Emily and Nathan are such a kind, warm and generous couple from the country. There were some great country touches to their wedding like the bride and bridesmaid's boots and socks and the groom's hat.
Even though there was rain over their wedding ceremony, Emily and Nathan had the greatest time celebrating their love. Their smiles did not stop throughout the day. It seemed to help that all their major celebrations over the past few years were rained out so they were kind of expecting a decent fall on their wedding day!
We still got to explore Ocean View Estates and take some gorgous photos of the happy couple and their bridal party despite the rain.
The party kicked on in the stunning, huge reception building with over 100 of Emily and Nathan's family and friends. There were a tonne of laughs with a few tears as well as some shocking secrets revealed during the speeches by the bride's sister!
This awesome pair really made the most of their day and had the time of their life together and with their loved ones.
We wish you all the love in the world Emily and Nathan!

Yabbaloumba Retreat, Kenilworth, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Brooke & Jacob
Brooke and Jacob not only make an awesome couple, they are also beautiful humans who chose a wedding venue that embodies exactly who they are - Yabbaloumba Retreat. This bride and groom love nature, people, laughter and just generally having a great time. Yabbaloumba Retreat was the perfect space to enjoy all of this.
They both got ready in separate cabins up on the hill with their bridesmaids and groomsmen. After they had all preened and styled themselves they made the short journey back down the hill to their gorgeous ceremony. There were plenty of teary eyes around and loads of beaming smiles too.
After their ceremony, Brooke and Jacob enjoyed a hug-a-thon with all of their friends and family followed by some bridal party portraits down by the stunning natural spring. We did some drone shots at the spring before venturing along the creek bed framing them in the surrounding nature of gorgeous and romantic Yabbaloumba Retreat.
The bride and groom made it down to their reception by the lake and enjoyed an epic welcome by all their loved ones. Everyone enjoy the wood fired pizza, paella from The Paella Fella, Pofferijes and a massive range of beer and wine.
There was a great mixture of tears and laughter during the speeches even Mr Photographer couldn't hold back. Once the cake was cut post-speeches then the crazy dance moves began. This awesome bunch know how to have fun!
We wish you all the love and happiness in the world Brooke and Jacob!
Enjoy...
