Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar, sunshine and most importantly a couple in love made for the most gorgeous wedding. An isle made of petals, pineapples on every table and kids with smiles full of sunshine and lollipops. This Sunshine Coast wedding was fun to attend, beautiful to see and refreshing for the soul. The bride and groom didn't want any portraits of themselves but wanted us to focus purely on photographing natural, candid moments and the pretty details of their Noosa Waterfront ceremony and reception. We did take a few sneaky portraits of Michelle and Steve as they were just so stunning - it would have been criminal not too! We did respect their notion though (apart from 5 portrait minutes) and captured many wonderful moments they experienced and plenty they would never have seen without two photographers.
Splash Events did an absolutely amazing job of decorating the wedding and as always Willow Bud produced glorious floral bouquets and flower arrangements.
The Paper Flowers takes on some popular and other more alternative songs had every single guest on the dancefloor. This awesome duo truly rock!
Enjoy these special moments...

AnnaBella Chapel, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Julie & Simon
The Sunshine Coast turned on absolutely perfect weather for Julie and Simon's gorgeous wedding day.
Simon and his groomsmen got ready at The Sebel in Maroochydore. The views were breathtaking. The boys were loads of fun. Simon is one very awesome human. Kindness exudes constantly from him through his ever-ready smile.
Julie and her bridesmaids, flower girls and page boy preened themselves at the beautiful rustic Arabella Guesthouse on Buderim. Julie and one half of our photographer duo Jesse, attended senior high school in Nambour together. Julie is still a laugh a minute. She is always laughing, always vibrant and one of the most delightful souls you could hope to meet.
All of the bride and groom's family and friends gathered at AnnaBella Wedding Chapel in Ilkley to watch them wed and make their vows to love, honour and obey each other before God, forever. Simon's reactions and emotions throughout the ceremony were so wonderfully candid and honest and so refreshing to see in a groom. Julie was a picture of absolute class and so ready at all times for a good laugh, which comes so naturally to her.
After the heartfelt ceremony the bride, groom and their bridal party took a walk with us around the lush semi-tropical grounds of AnnaBella Wedding Chapel (this is one of the most STUNNING venues to get married in on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane). This group of guys and gals were such a great reflection of the bride and groom - big hearts and always ready to laugh!
Julie and Simon's wedding reception was hosted by Harry's Restaurant on Buderim. The food was DIVINE. There is a reason why Harry's is one of the most loved restaurants on the Sunshine Coast - WOW. There is rustic charm around every corner at Harry's and with no other buildings or houses within a couple hundred metres of it, this is the epitome of privacy and exclusivity to top off your wedding day. The groom, best man, maid of honour and father-of-the-bride speeches were some of the best we've witnessed - full of belly laughs! The bride and groom clearly had the time of their lives.
We look forward to seeing what adventures Julie and Simon find themselves on in this exciting new chapter of their lives.
Big Love special ones X

Tranquil Park, Maleny Wedding, Sunshine Coast - Shanae & Kamahl (Brisbane)
Warmth and Happiness exuded from this adorable couple from the moment we first met them. Shannae and Kamahl (Brisbane) are both such genuinely lovely people and so relaxed which made it an absolute pleasure to work with them to capture the special moments of their Maleny, Sunshine Coast Hinterland Wedding.
The views from Tranquil Park, Maleny (the venue where their wedding ceremony and reception were held) are nothing short of magnificent.
After the brisbane-based couple's moving ceremony we set off exploring Maleny with this rad pair and their super fun wedding party. We took all sorts of portraits in two spectacular locations including the naturally beautiful Mary Cairncross Park.
This was a stunning destination wedding and couple surrounded by so many loving family and friends in one of the most epic wedding destinations in the world.
Enjoy the beauty...
