DRONE PORTRAITS: BEST OF 2017 - Sunshine Coast, Australian Wedding Photographers

Our drone, our trusty little droney, has become one of our favourite tools as wedding photographers. We get to fly above the trees, the sand, the ocean, the ceremony and take photos. In 2017 our drone work has really come into its own.
We've been able to utilise our drone photography for weddings, elopements and engagements all around the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa Heads and Noosa River, Maleny, Montville, Mapleton and all around the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Yandina, Coolum, Point Arkwright, Point Cartwright, Brisbane, The Gold Coast, Fraser Island and many more places in Queensland and Australia and even over in tropical Fiji.
The drone allows us to give the brides and grooms (and families) we work with a completely fresh and epic, aerial perspective of their wedding day. We get to document and photograph their weddings in a way like no other. The drone perspective is unique, creative, mesmerising and most definitely allows us to produce photos they will cherish forever.
Please enjoy our favourite drone photos from the year that was, 2017.
We look forward to capturing many more spectacular epic, aerial drone photos in 2018!
See you next year...
Jesse & Mikala X

Spicers Peak Lodge, Gold Coast Hinterland, Australian Wedding - Kaitlyn & Andrew

Kaitlyn and Andy chose the most stunning, picturesque, mountainous wedding venue in Queensland - Spicers Peak Lodge in the Gold Coast Hinterland. This bride and groom's wedding date was June 21 (winter solstice) and it was absolutely freezing up at Australia's highest non-alpine lodge but oh so breathtaking.
Andy and his groomsmen got ready in the gorgeous spa suite while Kaitlyn and her bridesmaids preened and prepared themselves in a cottage with the most epic mountain views. Both absolutely stellar options!
There were tears flying here, there and everywhere while the stunning bride was walking down the isle and throughout the ceremony. The most extraordinary thing happened though during their vows. Kaitlyn and Andy both wrote their vows separately but said the exact same quote at the end of their speeches - "When I die, then I die loving you." WOW! They were shocked. Their guests were shocked. We were shocked when we learnt they had not written their vows together!
After the ceremony we got to explore the A-MAZING Spicers Peak Lodge property with the bride and groom. It's a couple's wedding location dream and a photographer's dream. Sunset was absolutely divine to boot. These two were blessed with an absolutely perfect day for their wedding.
Kaitlyn, Andy and their close friends and family enjoyed a 5-course degustation meal during the reception along with some hearty laughs and hilarious anecdotes during the speeches. One of the loveliest and most gut-wrenching parts of the day was when Kaitlyn and her Dad danced together. The tears could not be held back any more. Such a sweet ending to a beautiful wedding day in the Gold Coast Hinterland.
We wish you so much love and happiness Kaitlyn and Andy!

Enjoy...

Gold Coast Hinterland Wedding in the Sunshine - Amber & Ethan (Brisbane)

This Gold Coast Hinterland wedding was held at The Farm House in the stunning Numbimbah Valley. The bride and groom (from Brisbane) produced the most gorgeous rustic DIY shindig for their family and friends.
Amber and Ethan collected individual wooden chairs, candlestick holders, vases and so much more. Their vision came to life on their wedding day and was nothing short of magnificent. The finished design was a perfect combination of this pair's unique personalities. They are such kind, generous and thoughtful people and this was reflected in everything and everyone who attended their wedding day.
After the ceremony we explored The Farm House property with this photogenic Brisbane couple for thier wedding party and couple portraits in the glorious Gold Coast Sunshine. This is a nature lover's paradise and absolutely perfect for reflecting the nature of the Brisbane-based bride and groom.
Tears and Laughter showered the wedding from the bridesmaids seeing Amber in her dress to Amber's Dads walking her down the isle to Ethan's heartfelt speech at their reception.
After photographing their engagement (on the Sunshine Coast) we knew we would have such a wonderful time working with them and capturing their wedding through our lenses. Their warmth and kindness is abundant and so special to experience.
This duo has the brightest of futures ahead of them - sunshine, lollipops and rainbows all the way.
Enjoy being taken to DIY heaven by this dynamic Brisbane couple!

Gold Coast Hinterland Wedding, Peppers Ruffles Lodge - Niusha & Lachie

Love conquered the forecast of rain on the Gold Coast (Pepper's Ruffles Lodge) for this beautiful bride and dapper groom's gorgeous wedding day. The sun was shining most of the day as was everyone's smiles.
Niusha & Lachie's ceremony brought tears to both of their eyes and mine too! Their love for each other is so blatant and very powerful. The bond they share is nothing short of inspiring and infectious.
Pepper's Ruffles Lodge offered Lachie & Niusha the wedding of their dreams with luxurious accomodation, expansive views of the gold coast skyline (surfers paradise) and fine dining with food to die for.
The details that Niusha and Lachie paid attention to were very special. Persian rugs adorned their ceremony floor. Candles in lanterns marked the entrance to their ceremony and reception. Every guest who attended their wedding received a small pot with a succulent and a cute card that said "let love grow". And this sums up the delightful bride and groom's relationship in a nutshell; they let their love grow and flourish without limitations.
So, so, beautiful.
Enjoy...
