Cherie and Marty chose the one and only Kingfisher Bay Resort (Fraser Island) as the destination for their wedding. This was such a great choice on their part and an absolute pleasure to photograph.
This bride and groom hail from Sydney so they travelled a long way, as did their guests (and us from the Sunshine Coast!) to marry each other on Australia’s and the world’s largest sand island.
In all honesty, Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island is the venue we have photographed more wedding ceremonies at than any other venue in Australia and we absolutely love it!
This was one very special wedding with loads of tears including one from the groom which we have photographic evidence of (a little hint: it was when his bride was walking down the isle)! We can understand why as Cherie looked absolutely STUNNING!
The ceremony was super lovely and concluded with a sand ceremony. Then we (the bridal party and us photographer folk along with the boys from Trending Media Australia) all explored sunset beach and the surrounding areas taking some gorgeous photos along the way.
This awesome bride and groom chose the “dingo den” to host their reception. This
is a fantastic outdoor venue that is both private, spacious and features a fire pit for toasting those marshmallows. Cherie and Marty supplied all the necessary ingredients for S’mores which caused some very big grins from their guests - great idea! Oh and have a look at the knife they used to cut their cake, or should we say machete? FYI no one was harmed during the cutting of the cake.
The bride and groom’s first dance was quite possibly one of the best ever… in the world. Seriously. This dance was phenomenal and it was a privilege to watch let along photograph. EPIC beyond words.
We wish you all the love and happiness in the world Cherie and Marty!
Enjoy!

Fraser Island, Queensland, Australian Wedding - Linda & Andrew - Sunshine Coast Photographers
Linda and Andrew fell in love with Fraser Island as soon as they set foot on it and knew instantly Kingfisher Bay Resort would be the venue for their wedding.
After becoming friends many years ago they lost touch with each other. Finally years later, they rekindled their friendship which quickly became a love that rapidly blossomed. The connection between this awesome bride and groom is undeniable and absolutely meant to be. They laugh and joke together constantly and make the most of every single moment they have with each other.
Their wedding was not just a celebration of their epic love but also a uniting of their families and gorgeous children. Andrew's family flew all the way from Canada to witness this wonderful duo from Brisbane tie the knot on Sunset Beach at Fraser Island.
We explored the stunning, natural surroundings of Kingfisher Bay Resort for some couple portraits, finishing with drone shots of their beloved red Jag on the pier. We have just 5 words for Linda the gorgeous bride, "Easy, breezy, beautiful, cover girl."
The bride and groom's reception was marked by a heartfelt speech that could not be completed by Andrew as emotion overtook him while trying to thank his son AJ. Their first dance was surrounded by bubbles Linda's daughter was blowing onto the dance floor - so cute! This was followed by some energetic dance moves by all who joined the bride and groom on the dance floor.
Linda & Andrew's wedding really was a perfect reflection of themselves- fun, relaxed, a-laugh-a-minute and family focused.
We wish you all the happiness possible Andrew and Linda!
Enjoy...

Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Jennifer & Brenten (Sunshine Coast Photographers)
The rain cleared just in time for this lovely bride and groom's Fraser Island destination wedding at Kingfisher Bay Resort.
Jenny and Brenten regularly camp at Fraser Island with their friends so this was the perfect choice for their wedding day. Brenten and his groomsmen enjoyed some fishing off the pier while Jenny and her bridesmaids were getting their hair and makeup done.
The bride and groom's ceremony was so serene and absolutely beautiful. The love in Brenten's eyes for his bride was so special to witness and to photograph for them to keep forever.
The bridal party and I took off into the Fraser Island bushland for some photos before taking just the bride and groom along the beach for some couple portraits. We then hit the pier for a few drone photos followed by some stunning sunset images. Jenny and Brenten were treated to an awesome romantic sunset for the very first evening as a married couple.
Celebrations kicked on in the dingo den with speeches, a wedding buffet, cake cutting and a gorgeous moonlit first dance. Once this rad bunch got to dancing on the first dance floor they all showed their twirling skills off. I've never photographed a wedding where so many twirls occurred within such a short space of time - it must have been a guinness world record... surely! Love your work family and friends - and of course the bride and groom!
I wish you a lifetime of absolute love and happiness Jenny and Brenten :)
Enjoy!

Autumn Kingfisher Bay Resort, Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Emily & Tom
The forecast for rain, rain and more rain was not so welcome at this bride and groom's Fraser Island destination wedding. Nevertheless the emotion of Emily and Tom's wedding rendered the weather forecast meaningless. Tom's reaction to his bride walking down the isle was without a doubt one of the most openly heartfelt moments we've witnessed at a wedding.
Thankfully the rain subsided just after their ceremony finished so the bride and groom and all their guests could head to the beach for some portraits. The wind died down enough to bring out our trusty drone for some aerial photography before heading into the lush bushland surrounding Kingfisher Bay Resort.
The deck reception looked so stunning! There were loads of games like giant jenga, twister, giant pickup sticks, giant snakes and ladders - SO. MUCH. FUN. Oh and instead of a sweet wedding cake this awesome bride and groom chose to have a layered cake made with all kinds of cheeses. Brilliant.
Despite the rain we don't believe Emily and Tom could have hoped for a better wedding day.
We wish you both all the very best and the happiest of days, weeks and years together!
Enjoy...
