DRONE PORTRAITS: BEST OF 2017 - Sunshine Coast, Australian Wedding Photographers

Our drone, our trusty little droney, has become one of our favourite tools as wedding photographers. We get to fly above the trees, the sand, the ocean, the ceremony and take photos. In 2017 our drone work has really come into its own.
We've been able to utilise our drone photography for weddings, elopements and engagements all around the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa Heads and Noosa River, Maleny, Montville, Mapleton and all around the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Yandina, Coolum, Point Arkwright, Point Cartwright, Brisbane, The Gold Coast, Fraser Island and many more places in Queensland and Australia and even over in tropical Fiji.
The drone allows us to give the brides and grooms (and families) we work with a completely fresh and epic, aerial perspective of their wedding day. We get to document and photograph their weddings in a way like no other. The drone perspective is unique, creative, mesmerising and most definitely allows us to produce photos they will cherish forever.
Please enjoy our favourite drone photos from the year that was, 2017.
We look forward to capturing many more spectacular epic, aerial drone photos in 2018!
See you next year...

BEST OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY 2017 - SUNSHINE COAST PHOTOGRAPHERS - AUSTRALIA & WORLDWIDE

What an amazing year of weddings it has been for us here on The Sunshine Coast and worldwide! We've photographed weddings of brides and grooms not just from The Sunshine Coast but also New Zealand, Asia, The UK, Europe, North America and Australia wide.
We had the privilege to photograph a wedding at the Fiji Outrigger this year as well as some of our favourite venues including Yandina Station, The Rocks Yandina, Casuarina Gardens in Noosa, Noosa Riverdeck, Yabbaloumba Retreat in Kenilworth, Maroochy Twin Waters Resort, Evans Farm Maleny, Caloundra Sebel, AnnaBella Chapel in Ilkley, Ocean View Estates just outside of Brisbane, Spicers Peak Lodge in the Gold Coast Hinterland, numerous weddings at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island and many more gorgeous venues.
We also won 2 Fearless Awards in 2017 which we are over the moon about!
Being wedding photographers means the world to us and we believe it to be an absolute honour when chosen to document a couple's wedding in our own unique way.
Our trusty drone has played a very important part in how we capture weddings and will only continue to grow as being an integral part of our photography in 2018. The great thing about our drone service is that it's free with every wedding package we offer - YAY!
We want to say a massive thank you to all of the wonderful couples we have created with this year - it's been a complete honour to be your wedding photographers.
We're already looking forward to photographing weddings on the Sunshine Coast, throughout Queensland, The Whitsundays, Melbourne, Ireland and beyond in 2018.
We wish you all the love and happiness possible for next year and many years to come!

Please enjoy our 2017 Best of Gallery and we look forward to seeing you in 2018!

Fraser Island, Queensland Wedding - Tennille & Trent - Sunshine Coast Destination Photographers

Fraser Island put on a beautiful morning for Trent and Tennille's wedding day - until it poured with rain. Then it stopped. Then it rained a little more. Thankfully the rain then stopped for the bride and groom's stunning wedding ceremony on Sunset Beach. 
The ceremony arbour was so beautiful with a touch of extravagence and framed their wedding perfectly.
After the ceremony, the congratulations were cut short when we were told more rain was going to arrive in 30 minutes. So we whisked the bridal party away for some photos and managed to capture some couple portraits then ran for cover when the rain fell once again.
We then were treated to a rain-free period at sunset for more bridal party and couple portraits on the Kingfisher Bay Resort Pier and again on Sunset Beach. Thank you Fraser Island for keeping those rain clouds away for this time.
The celebrations kicked on with an epicly stunning and sparkly reception. Tennille was in her absolute element amongst all the shimmer, shine and sparkle which represented her so perfectly.
The bride and groom were surrounded by an amazing bunch of their family and friends. One of the highlights was definitely Trent's grandpa who got the entire room laughing during his speech. And also THAT dress Tennille wore was so spectacular during their first dance.
We wish you all the happiness in the world Tennille and trent!
Enjoy...

Yandina Station, Sunshine Coast (Australian) Autumn Wedding - Lisa & Dave

This warm and generous couple hosted their wedding day at the one and only Yandina Station. Lisa and Dave are from a small town called Gayndah, just west of Hervey Bay and Fraser Island and so the country chic feel of Yandina Station suited them perfectly.
They preened and prepared themselves at Coolum Caprice with epic views of Coolum Beach. 
The ceremony was outside under the Moreton Bay Fig Tree where they so emotionally said "I do" to each other. The tears could not be held back, especially from Lisa's gorgeous bridesmaids. Emotions ran high when the bride and groom exchanged vows, rings and then sealed the deal with a kiss. The emotions quickly turned into laughter post ceremony with hugs of congratulations and celebration all around.
We explored the grounds with the bridal party for some photographic portraits. Dave and his groomsmen were definitely a highlight when they took hold of the decorative umbrellas that were meant for the bridesmaids - or were they?
The reception rolled on in the old dairy at Yandina Station with new flooring which looks outstanding and was an awesome platform for this happy, humble duo's celebration dinner. The speeches from Lisa and Dave's loved ones were beyond heartwarming. But the dancing... well that's another story. This bunch of Gayndahnians know how to stomp their way around a dance floor. Fun, happy, silly, crazy. None of these words can possibly describe the awesome dancing styles that took place in the old dairy of Yandina Station on Sunday, April 2, 2017. There's no doubt this particular evening will go down in the history books as one of the most epic nights of dancing ever seen at Yandina Station.
We wish you all the love, happiness and everything in between for your lives together Lisa and Dave.
Enjoy...
