Lana and Drew’s wedding was at the Luxurious Sunshine Coast boating venue, Pier 33 and what an amazing day it was.
This awesome bride and groom spent the getting ready part of their wedding day in the same house (Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast) but different sections of it so they didn’t see each other before the ceremony. The house was an architect and art lover’s dream featuring a light-filled loft, a magazine cover worthy pool and a beautiful piece of art by Jai Vasicek.
Drew and his groomsmen enjoyed a very cruisy pre-ceremony together with some beers and plenty of laughs.
Lana and her bridesmaids barely stopped laughing the entire time we were there documenting their getting ready events. The champagne was flowing, spirits were high and good vibes inevitable in anticipation of the impending wedding.
The bride and her tribe we transported to the wedding venue in a close friend’s boat along the Mooloolaba River to Pier 33. When the boat arrived, all the wedding guests were asked to turn the opposite way to the bride so no one saw her before walking down the isle. This was so well orchestrated by Danielle, the celebrant.
It was a beautiful moment when Lana walked down her wedding isle towards her groom looking absolutely stunning! The ceremony was so lovely and naturally for this couple, full of loads of smiles and laughter. Their love, undeniable.
Post wedding we whisked the bride and groom and their bridal party down to the docks for some shots amongst the boats. Meanwhile, I (Jesse) nearly lost my drone due to the gale force winds that suddenly appeared!
We then headed down to the beach where the wind was furious but the happiness and lightheartedness of the bride, groom and their bridal party rose well above the weather conditions. Oh and do take note of Drew, the groom, literally chopping of the top of a champagne bottle with a knife!
The bride and groom enjoyed a rapturous reception entrance into Pier 33 by their family and friends. There were speeches throughout the night that were a-laugh-a-second along with not just gourmet but SERIOUSLY gourmet food by the Pier 33 chefs. Drew also wanted a magician at his wedding so that’s what he got - Nickleby. He was such a major highlight of this wedding reception. The guests were in stiches as well as in complete disbelief at the tricks Nickleby was performing. Highly recommend him!
To round the night off there was a cutting of the cake, first dance then some dancefloor shenanigans.
What a day and what a night for these two fantastic humans!
Congratulations again Lana and Drew, we wish you all the love, laughter and happiness in the world!
Enjoy…

Bangalow (Byron Bay) Destination Wedding - Jess & Jamie (Brisbane)
Jess & Jamie held their wedding in gorgeous Bangalow (Byron Bay Hinterland), Northern New South Wales. This not only a wedding day but also a celebration of Jess & Jamie being together 10 years!
This cruisy couple are so relaxed that they decided to change their wedding venue within the last week leading up to their wedding. What a fantastic choice it was too getting hitched at Forget Me Not in Bangalow. The property features a historical house, manicured gardens and its own small lake.
The bride and groom's celebrant was the best man's father which added a great intimacy to their ceremony.
We wandered around the gardens taking some beautiful, relaxed portraits post ceremony. There were plenty of belly laughs with this great bride and groom and their fun-loving bridal party.
The reception was held at A&I Hall in Bangalow town. This gorgeous, ornate building was perfect for housing this bunch of crazy dancers, with its massive high ceiling and stage for the band. The night certainly kicked up a few gears once most guests stormed the dance floor!
Enjoy this absolutely wonderful couple's special day...
