2018 has been a MASSIVE year of wedding photography for Mikala and I. We have photographed loads of beautiful weddings around our hood on the Sunshine Coast, from Noosa to Maleny, Montville to Caloundra, Obi Obi to Coolum, Maroochydore to Beerwah, Mooloolaba to Sunshine Beach. We’ve also travelled to Melbourne, Ireland, Portugal, Hong Kong, London, Fraser Island, The Whitsundays (Airlie Beach) photographing destination weddings along the way while exploring the extraordinary globe we live on.
We feel so privileged to have worked with so many gorgeous couples at some absolutely stunning wedding venues including Gabbinbar Homestead (Toowoomba), Villa Botanica (Airlie Beach), Kingfisher Bay Resort (Fraser Island), Noosa Riverdeck (Sunshine Coast), House of Laurels (Maleny), Montville Chapel & Poet’s Gallery and the list goes on and on.
We have an enormous amount of gratitude for the couples who have chosen us to photograph their wedding day and capture those one off moments, never to be repeated, so they can enjoy them for the rest of their lives.
Thank you to all the awesome, now married couples we’ve worked with in 2018 and also a big thank you to the wedding ceremony and reception staff, owners, helpers and guests who have made our year rich in laughter, love and everything in between.
Big Love and we look forward to another wonderful year of wedding photography in 2019!
All the love and happiness in the world to you!

Ocean View Estates Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Australia - Emily & Nathan
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!

Flaxton Gardens - Sunshine Coast, Australian Wedding - Diana & Jason
Diana & Jason's wedding day was held at one of the Sunshine Coast's absolute best venues, Flaxton Gardens. The bride and groom both got ready on different floors of stunning Flaxton Manor - A luxurious way to start their day!
There was some lingering rain so the bride and groom along with the Flaxton Gardens Staff decide to hold their ceremony indoors. You really can't go wrong at Flaxton Gardens if you have your wedding ceremony inside or outside as they are both gorgeous options. The ceremony was so beautiful with watery eyes in their crowd of family and friends as well as tears filling the bride's eyes.
Diana and Jason were such a pleasure to photograph after the ceremony and family photos. This happy couple are so relaxed, good-humoured and always have an air of go-with-the-flow about them. They're a perfect match for eachother and this shone though during the entire wedding day and while we photographed their bridal party and couple portraits around the grounds of Flaxton Gardens.
We later migrated to the reception hall's epic ceilings filled with gourmet food and loads of laughter during the speeches. There were also a few moments to photograph a few extra special moments between the married couple amongst the rows of lights and a moody, magical fog.
This was one very enchanted day and we wish Diana and Jason all the love and happiness in the world!
Enjoy...

BEST OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2017 - SUNSHINE COAST PHOTOGRAPHERS - AUSTRALIA & WORLDWIDE
What an amazing year of weddings it has been for us here on The Sunshine Coast and worldwide! We've photographed weddings of brides and grooms not just from The Sunshine Coast but also New Zealand, Asia, The UK, Europe, North America and Australia wide.
We had the privilege to photograph a wedding at the Fiji Outrigger this year as well as some of our favourite venues including Yandina Station, The Rocks Yandina, Casuarina Gardens in Noosa, Noosa Riverdeck, Yabbaloumba Retreat in Kenilworth, Maroochy Twin Waters Resort, Evans Farm Maleny, Caloundra Sebel, AnnaBella Chapel in Ilkley, Ocean View Estates just outside of Brisbane, Spicers Peak Lodge in the Gold Coast Hinterland, numerous weddings at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island and many more gorgeous venues.
We also won 2 Fearless Awards in 2017 which we are over the moon about!
Being wedding photographers means the world to us and we believe it to be an absolute honour when chosen to document a couple's wedding in our own unique way.
Our trusty drone has played a very important part in how we capture weddings and will only continue to grow as being an integral part of our photography in 2018. The great thing about our drone service is that it's free with every wedding package we offer - YAY!
We want to say a massive thank you to all of the wonderful couples we have created with this year - it's been a complete honour to be your wedding photographers.
We're already looking forward to photographing weddings on the Sunshine Coast, throughout Queensland, The Whitsundays, Melbourne, Ireland and beyond in 2018.
We wish you all the love and happiness possible for next year and many years to come!
Please enjoy our 2017 Best of Gallery and we look forward to seeing you in 2018!
