Linda and Andrew fell in love with Fraser Island as soon as they set foot on it and knew instantly Kingfisher Bay Resort would be the venue for their wedding.
After becoming friends many years ago they lost touch with each other. Finally years later, they rekindled their friendship which quickly became a love that rapidly blossomed. The connection between this awesome bride and groom is undeniable and absolutely meant to be. They laugh and joke together constantly and make the most of every single moment they have with each other.
Their wedding was not just a celebration of their epic love but also a uniting of their families and gorgeous children. Andrew's family flew all the way from Canada to witness this wonderful duo from Brisbane tie the knot on Sunset Beach at Fraser Island.
We explored the stunning, natural surroundings of Kingfisher Bay Resort for some couple portraits, finishing with drone shots of their beloved red Jag on the pier. We have just 5 words for Linda the gorgeous bride, "Easy, breezy, beautiful, cover girl."
The bride and groom's reception was marked by a heartfelt speech that could not be completed by Andrew as emotion overtook him while trying to thank his son AJ. Their first dance was surrounded by bubbles Linda's daughter was blowing onto the dance floor - so cute! This was followed by some energetic dance moves by all who joined the bride and groom on the dance floor.
Linda & Andrew's wedding really was a perfect reflection of themselves- fun, relaxed, a-laugh-a-minute and family focused.
We wish you all the happiness possible Andrew and Linda!

Gympie, Queensland, Australian Private Property Wedding - Megan & Rob
Megan & Rob decided to get married on their private property in Kia Ora (Gympie) and what a spectacular wedding it was! From the moment I laid eyes on the mountain where they were going to hold their ceremony I knew this was going to be one extraordinarily beautiful wedding.
A convoy of 4-wheel drives helped all the friends and family of the bride and groom up the hill to the picturesque ceremony location. We won't mention the trouble the groom had with his vehicle as that would be a little embarassing and one thing from his wedding day he would rather forget - sorry Rob!
Once everyone had gathered at the cinematic ceremony location, they were able to really savour the special moment of the bride and her Dad walking down the long, steep mountain aisle. Seeing the bride and groom standing next to each other and saying their vows on this hill really was out of this world. No matter where you looked there was an epic sweeping landscape - eye candy for the soul.
Many of Megan and Rob's family live on the properties surrounding theirs which gave the wedding a very warm and comforting feeling. There really was no better place for this great couple to marry at.
The bride and groom planted a tree after their stunning wedding ceremony where they can watch it grow, just like their love in the years to come. Then the bridal party and I explored the property for some portraits. There's a raw and beautiful rustic country feeling about these two and their surroundings - simply gorgeous.
The party kicked on at the Kia Ora Memorial Hall where the reception was held. There were some very funny speeches, absolutely beautiful food provided by Penfold's Catering of Noosa and plenty of twirls on the dance floor. Memories were made that will never be forgotton.
Well done Rob and Megan on hosting an outstanding wedding!
We wish you all the very best for your lives together as a married couple.
Enjoy...

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!

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 :)
