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!

Noosa Riverdeck Wedding, Sunshine Coast Photographers - Natalie & Kallan
Oh what an amazing wedding day for this fun-loving bride and groom at Noosa Riverdeck on the one and only Noosa River.
There were so many tears shed before Natalie and Kallan had even seen each other for the first time on the Noosa Riverdeck helipad. The entrance by Natalie and her mum to the ceremony was soooo emotional, Mikala and I had tears welling up in our eyes! The Noosa River ceremony was so beautiful with more tears and a tonne of laughter from all who were invited to witness this momentus event. This bride and groom clearly make an absolutely fantastic duo.
After family photos on the Noosa Riverdeck helipad we jumped on a bus with the bridal party. We b-lined over to Noosa's gem Hidden Grove and Main Beach for some bridal party portraits and some romantic couple portraits with the newlyweds. The sunset Noosa produced for the married couple's first evening together was incredible! You couldn't dream of a more beautiful sunset - thank you Noosa!
The wedding evening kicked on with delicious food and drinks at Noosa Riverdeck accompanied by some awesome tunes by Matt Boylan-Smith.
This day was such an amazing celebration for two loved and very in-love humans.
All the love and happiness to you Natalie & Kallan!

PS. The groom left one of his groomsmen's pair of pants back in Bli Bli. So Kallan and his groomsman drove all the way back to Bli Bli together to get the missing pants. This is why the groom is missing from all of his getting ready photos. But his other groomsmen did a pretty awesome job of showing off his outfit to the camera :)

Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Jennifer & Brenten (Sunshine Coast Photographers)
The rain cleared just in time for this lovely bride and groom's Fraser Island destination wedding at Kingfisher Bay Resort.
Jenny and Brenten regularly camp at Fraser Island with their friends so this was the perfect choice for their wedding day. Brenten and his groomsmen enjoyed some fishing off the pier while Jenny and her bridesmaids were getting their hair and makeup done.
The bride and groom's ceremony was so serene and absolutely beautiful. The love in Brenten's eyes for his bride was so special to witness and to photograph for them to keep forever.
The bridal party and I took off into the Fraser Island bushland for some photos before taking just the bride and groom along the beach for some couple portraits. We then hit the pier for a few drone photos followed by some stunning sunset images. Jenny and Brenten were treated to an awesome romantic sunset for the very first evening as a married couple.
Celebrations kicked on in the dingo den with speeches, a wedding buffet, cake cutting and a gorgeous moonlit first dance. Once this rad bunch got to dancing on the first dance floor they all showed their twirling skills off. I've never photographed a wedding where so many twirls occurred within such a short space of time - it must have been a guinness world record... surely! Love your work family and friends - and of course the bride and groom!
I wish you a lifetime of absolute love and happiness Jenny and Brenten :)
Enjoy!

Pacific Harbour, Bribie Island Wedding - Stacey & Adam (Sunshine Coast Photographers)
Stacey and Adam held their wedding on beautiful Bribie Island at Pacific Harbour Golf Club (near Brisbane). They were surrounded by family and friends and held their two gorgeous children close throughout their special day.
After the wedding ceremony we hooned around the Pacific Harbour Golf Course on golf carts with the bridal party taking portraits, before hitting the beach with the elated bride and groom. Their beach wedding sunset was absolutely perfect and so romantic with the Glasshouse Mountains (The jewel of the Sunshine Coast) in the background.
The bride and groom's reception was packed with some heartfelt moments and loads of dance floor fun that really hit the roof when the nutbush started pumping out of the speakers. Stacey and her maid of honour had an absolute blast dancing to this followed straight away by the macarena!
We wish you so much happiness Stacey & Adam - you two lovely people.
