Nicole and Elliot, affectionately known as Nic and El, married each other in an intimate heart-string tugging wedding ceremony overlooking their beloved local, Moffat Beach (Caloundra, Sunshine Coast).
The bride and groom prepped and preened themselves in gorgeous Caloundra beach shacks super close to their impending wedding ceremony. El had loads of his family and friends fly over from the UK to join him while Nic was joined by all of her beloveds from Victoria, Australia. They all became one big family on this highly emotional wedding day.
Nic arrived at the ceremony car park in her super cute little mini van with her bouquet out the window! One second she was laughing and the next crying - the emotions were running high seeing all of her friends and family and of course her one and only, El. Finally this awesome bride and groom were together and ready to say their vows and become husband and wife. The first kiss was gorgeous and topped off this wedding ceremony so perfectly.
Everyone made their way across the Caloundra Gem, Moffat Beach after the wedding. Some guests even opted to carry a pram… across the beach. Complete troopers innit. We took a few candid photos of the wedding guests and the bride and groom as they journeyed across the epic beach location.
Nic and El met everyone at The Pocket Espresso Bar which is one of the Sunshine Coast’s absolute gems. The newly married couple hugged, kissed and high fived their guests for a while until we took them out for a few more special wedding photos at the point. Our trusty drone made an appearance and took some spectacular photographs of the bride and groom. Nic and El jumped up just in time from lying down on the rocks before a wave washed right over where they had been lying. Phewww!
The night kicked on at the reception with some stellar speeches, ridiculously delicious food, brilliant live tunes followed by the entire crowd of friends and family singing and dancing to said brilliant live tunes.
What an epic wedding!!!
We wish you all the love, happiness and laughter in the world Nic and El!
Big love,

Ballilogue, County Killkenny, Irish Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Australian Photographers - Nicola & Chad
Nicola and Chad, a Sunshine Coast based couple, decided to get married in the bride’s native country of Ireland. We’re so happy they decided this and also that they wanted us to photograph their gorgeous destination wedding there.
The beautiful, rustic, country venue Ballilogue in county Kilkenny was the chosen place for this bride and groom to say “I do.” From the old stone buildings to the rustic wood floors to the butterflies dancing around the gardens, Balllilogue is a venue with so much to fall in love with.
Nicola and Chad are two very relaxed people, so it comes as no surprise that their day reflected this quality in them both. In fact the bride was choosing which spot she would like to hold the ceremony, around the wedding grounds and gardens, just a few hours before the start time.
The bride and groom were surrounded by some of their immediate family and a few close friends from Australia throughout this very intimate wedding day. The ceremony even stopped mid-way through so she could feed her baby boy, Oisin. For the majority of the wedding ceremony Nicola and Chad’s little family of four were altogether in front of their friends and family.
After the ceremony we took a few family photos before exploring some of the gorgeous gardens and buildings on the property. The afternoon light was pure magic which was perfect for the couple to have a few moments to themselves.
Tears and laughter, food and wine, music and dancing were enjoyed by all the guests who attended this wedding. A local folk duo came along to so sing some old Irish tunes which everyone loved. The kids particularly were up and dancing at the sound of the first notes played. The musicians told hilarious anecdotes in between songs that only the Irish people laughed at, purely because the Australians couldn’t understand a word they were saying!
This was a very special, family-oriented wedding day with ups and downs but most importantly, a tonne of love and laughter.
We wish you solar systems of love and happiness Nicola and Chad, just as you deserve!
Big Love,
Jesse & Mikala

Best Drone Wedding Photos of 2018 - Sunshine Coast Destination Aerial Photographers
Our drone has received quite a workout this year at the weddings we’ve photographed across the Sunshine Coast - Noosa, Maleny, Montville, Mapleton, Caloundra, Nambour, Yandina, Valdora, Obi Obi, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Kawana, Point Cartwright, Point Arkwright, Coolum, Beerwah and more. But our trusty drone also travelled to Villa Botanica (Airlie Beach, The Whitsundays), Ireland, Portugal, London, Hong Kong and Melbourne.
We want to thank all the brides and grooms, bridesmaids, groomsmen, friends, family and randoms who trusted us as photographers and also who laid down on sand, grass, wood, rocks, pebbles, bridges, piers, boats, roads and dance floors to get THAT shot. We certainly have a lot of fun during the drone wedding and engagement photo sessions but also ironically our brides and grooms often comment that it was the most relaxing part of their wedding day.
Needless to say our trusty sidekick drone is taking some well earned R&R over the Christmas and New Year break.
Please enjoy some of our favourite drone moments captured at some stunning venues and locations around the world featuring some gorgeous newlyweds.
Merry Christmas and a super Happy New Year to you!
Big love,

Fraser Island, Queensland Wedding - Tennille & Trent - Sunshine Coast Destination Photographers
Fraser Island put on a beautiful morning for Trent and Tennille's wedding day - until it poured with rain. Then it stopped. Then it rained a little more. Thankfully the rain then stopped for the bride and groom's stunning wedding ceremony on Sunset Beach.
The ceremony arbour was so beautiful with a touch of extravagence and framed their wedding perfectly.
After the ceremony, the congratulations were cut short when we were told more rain was going to arrive in 30 minutes. So we whisked the bridal party away for some photos and managed to capture some couple portraits then ran for cover when the rain fell once again.
We then were treated to a rain-free period at sunset for more bridal party and couple portraits on the Kingfisher Bay Resort Pier and again on Sunset Beach. Thank you Fraser Island for keeping those rain clouds away for this time.
The celebrations kicked on with an epicly stunning and sparkly reception. Tennille was in her absolute element amongst all the shimmer, shine and sparkle which represented her so perfectly.
The bride and groom were surrounded by an amazing bunch of their family and friends. One of the highlights was definitely Trent's grandpa who got the entire room laughing during his speech. And also THAT dress Tennille wore was so spectacular during their first dance.
We wish you all the happiness in the world Tennille and trent!
Enjoy...
