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 “From Above” category of (this one’s 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 we’re 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 can’t wait to meet loads more of you newly engaged couples in the upcoming months. We do love talking ceremonies, receptions, drones, sunset times (yep we’re 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!

Yandina Station Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer - Leisa & Mark

Yandina Station (Sunshine Coast) is one of Queensland’s most respected and loved wedding venues, so it was an easy choice for Leisa and Mark to hold their ceremony and reception there. It was an absolutely perfect Yandina day for this fun-loving bride and groom - the sun was out all day and smiles were shining on everyone’s faces.

Leisa and Mark both got ready in separate cottages on the gorgeous Yandina Station property. Everyone in the bridal party was very relaxed during this time when the bridesmaids were getting their makeup on and hair perfected and the groomsmen were drinking beer and figuring out how to attach the corsages to their suit shirts. On a side note, the bridesmaids were drinking beer too!

Naturally the nerves hit when it was time for the groomsmen to gather at the rustic wooden arbour and the bridesmaids to start walking down that, what feels like, ever so long wedding isle. The wedding ceremony itself was full of fun and laughter which reflected perfectly on the nature and relationship of these two awesome humans. The bride and groom both have a great sense of humour which made for not only an enjoyable ceremony but such a fun-filled day where all the wedding guests felt so comfortable to be themselves.

After the wedding ceremony the bride, groom and bridal party came with us, adventuring around the stunning Yandina Station property taking some portraits. Then we took off to some special photography spots just with the now happily married couple to take some artistic wedding photos. Not only was the weather calm and clear but the moon also made a special appearance at just the right time of the day - it was the most epic orange colour!

We ventured back to the Old Dairy and Dairy Barn where the bride and groom were met with a rapturous applause from their friends and family. The night kicked on with plenty of laughs during speeches, a cake cutting, first dance, bouquet toss (epic!), garter toss and some absolutely fantastic and enviable dance moves - even from grandma who owned that dance floor!
We wish you all the love and happiness possible Leisa and Mark!

Big Love,
Jesse & Mikala

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
