It may have been rainy but Emily and Mattβs Fraser Island (Kingfisher Bay Resort) wedding was absolutely beautiful. This dedicated, happy and positive bride and groom celebrated in an epic fashion with all of their nearest and dearest wedding guests.
Emily got ready with her 3 bridesmaids while Matt prepped himself with his 6 groomsmen. We do love a photography challenge with uneven bridal party numbers!
The stunning bride had a very moving first look with her Dad. What an absolutely amazing moment this was for this gorgeous daughter and father.
Matt was highly emotional when he finally got to see his stunning bride walking down the isle. It was a super special reunion for them both in front of all their family and friends. The confidence of this bride and groom and their love for each other was wonderful to witness. Their smiles and laughter did not stop throughout their wedding ceremony.
After the wedding, the rain stopped long enough for us to whisk the bridal party and the newly wedded bride and groom out to the Kingfisher Bay Resort pier for some portraits. We even got the chance to fly the drone for some aerial wedding photos, rain-free!
Emily and Matt were uproariously welcomed into their wedding reception by their guests. The night was filled with emotional speeches accented with tears, enthusiastic bouquet and garter tosses finishing with some enviable dance moves from some of the bridal party and the guests. What a day. What a night!
Congratulations Matt & Emily! We wish you all the love in the world!
Enjoyβ¦

Best of 2019 Wedding Photos - Sunshine Coast, Australian Destination Photographers
2019 was an action packed year for us and our of wedding photography business. In October we photographed 9 weddings in 3 weeks during October. One of these weddings was in country Victoria and four of them were destination weddings on Fraser Island. The rest of them were on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. It was an absolutely bonkers busy time but we loved all of the awesome brides and grooms we worked and created with. Not only that we had a blast meeting all of the bridal parties, family and friends from each and every one of these weddings. We also travelled to New Zealand earlier in the year for a gorgeous destination wedding in Russell (Bay of Islands). We do love ourselves an international destination wedding!
We managed to finish the year by winning a couple of international wedding photography awards too. The first was a Fearless Award which is beyond an honour considering there were over ten thousand photos entered into the competition. The second and most recent was a third placing in the βFrom Aboveβ category of (this oneβs a mouthful) the International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards. Both of these award winning images are pictured just below this text.
Oh and just before Christmas our main Instagram account @alltheloveintheworld_photos was hijacked and has been turned into a Turkish jewellery page. We had 39.1k followers, yep nearly 40, 000. So if you hapen to know how to get a completely hijacked Instagram account (they changed the email and password associated with the account) back we would LOVE to hear from you. Even better if you know someone that works for Instagram please hook us up!
It has been a brilliant year though and weβre so thankful to all the loved up newly married couples we have had the privilege of working with - THANK YOU!!! And to all the wedding vendors we have worked with on the Sunshine Coast and beyond, thank you for your friendship and laughs throughout the year - what a great bunch you all are.
We are so looking forward to photographing all of the couples who have already booked us to photograph their weddings and we canβt wait to meet loads more of you newly engaged couples in the upcoming months. We do love talking ceremonies, receptions, drones, sunset times (yep weβre nerdy like that), cakes, flowers and of course photography, with the newly engaged folk from around the world.
Big Love and a super happy new year to you all!

Kingfisher Bay Resort, Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Gabrielle & Josh
This bride and groom held their destination wedding at Queensland's stunning Kingfisher Bay Resort, Fraser Island. Gabrielle and Josh's wedding was highly emotionally fuelled with tears galloping down many cheeks surrounding them. Their ceremony was heart-felt, intimate and set on Fraser Island's stunning Sunset Beach.
They had a little visitor pre-ceremony - a resident dingo who does not appear very often. From this point on, the tears flowed - in happiness and in love.
Thankfully after hours of searching for the keys to Gabrielle's prized and faithful car, they found them! So post-ceremony the bridal party walked over to the jetty where the bride's car was parked and enjoyed a very unique and creative portrait session.
Gab & Josh had their reception by the pool. This was relaxed, intimate and jam-packed full of laughs and a few more tears! It was evident there was so much love between the bride, groom and all of their family and friends from the warm hugs they constantly gave each other throughout the day. This was extremely beautiful to witness.
Enjoy this Fraser Island destination wedding beauty...
