Villa Botanica, Whitsundays Destination Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australian Photographers - Kirsten & Luke

Kirsten and Luke married each other at one of Australia’s best and most beautiful wedding venues, Villa Botanica in Queensland’s Airlie Beach. With the Whitsundays as the backdrop for your wedding, how can you go wrong? Right!

The bride prepared herself to walk down the aisle in Airlie Beach town, as did the groom. Kirsten and Luke were at different locations though to keep in line with the tradition of the bride and groom not seeing each other on the day of the wedding before the ceremony. This was one tradition they adhered to. The wedding bouquet however, was radicalised. WOW. WOW WOW. Wait until you see the bride’s wedding bouquet. AHHHHmazing.

Luke got himself ready with his brother AND his twin brother. Oh and there was another set of twins in his groom party. Not only were there two sets of twins in the but one twin in each set was called Aaron! Mind. Blown.

Kirsten completed her final wedding preparations at Villa Botanica. Then the moment arrived to walk down the isle and what a stunning entrance this awesome bride made. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, marked by some hilarious guest appearances by the bride and groom’s son who received his very own wedding ring. So cute!

Post wedding ceremony we took some group shots, followed by some family photos and then we adventured to various areas around Villa Botanica for some bridal party photos. Then we cruised on down to the private beach beside Villa Botanica for some bride and groom couple shots. Our trusty drone of course made an appearance for some epic aerial wedding photos from above.

The newly weds then headed off to prepare for their reception on the epic deck at Villa Botanica (check out the drone shots of the reception setup). The night kicked on with out-of-this-world amazing gourmet entrees and main meals, a cake cutting, first dance and some very hilarious and a few teary speeches.

What an spectacular day at an extraordinary day for two stunning people getting hitched.

We wish you all the happiness in the world Kirsten and Luke!

Enjoy…

Tangalooma Island Resort, Moreton Island Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Australian Photographers - Kady & Erik

Kady and Erik flew all the way from Dubai to get married at Tangalooma Island Resort on the gorgeous tropical island of Moreton Island. Their friends and family flew to Australia form all around the world to join them and witness their stunning wedding day.
The bride and groom could not have hoped for a more perfect day for their wedding with blue skies surrounding the island. They both had their close friends and family with them as they were getting ready in gorgeous villas with spectacular ocean views. Tangalooma is most definitely a dream wedding venue.
There was a little rain just before their ceremony but that disappeared and left epic clouds for this awesome pair and their wedding nuptials. This was an emotional ceremony that was so full of love, sad and happy tears along with dozens of beautiful flowers.
After the ceremony we took off to the beach for some portraits with the bride and groom. Then we all got golf carted up the hill for some more photos amongst the trees and forest. Finally we ended up back on the beach for some drone photography. The boys from Trending Media Australia (videographer extraordinaires from Brisbane) also took some fantastic video footage of the now married duo. Oh and we took a few shots on the pier before heading to the wedding reception venue.
The night kicked on in the undercover reception. Hilarious speeches, gourmet food, spectacular floral displays and a 3-tiered cake featuring one super cute little canine. The night rounded out with a lovely first dance and then some wacky dancing which was an absolute blast!
We wish you all the love in the world Kady and Erik!
Big love to you,
Jesse & Mikala X

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,
Jesse & Mikala X
