2018 has been a MASSIVE year of wedding photography for Mikala and I. We have photographed loads of beautiful weddings around our hood on the Sunshine Coast, from Noosa to Maleny, Montville to Caloundra, Obi Obi to Coolum, Maroochydore to Beerwah, Mooloolaba to Sunshine Beach. We’ve also travelled to Melbourne, Ireland, Portugal, Hong Kong, London, Fraser Island, The Whitsundays (Airlie Beach) photographing destination weddings along the way while exploring the extraordinary globe we live on.
We feel so privileged to have worked with so many gorgeous couples at some absolutely stunning wedding venues including Gabbinbar Homestead (Toowoomba), Villa Botanica (Airlie Beach), Kingfisher Bay Resort (Fraser Island), Noosa Riverdeck (Sunshine Coast), House of Laurels (Maleny), Montville Chapel & Poet’s Gallery and the list goes on and on.
We have an enormous amount of gratitude for the couples who have chosen us to photograph their wedding day and capture those one off moments, never to be repeated, so they can enjoy them for the rest of their lives.
Thank you to all the awesome, now married couples we’ve worked with in 2018 and also a big thank you to the wedding ceremony and reception staff, owners, helpers and guests who have made our year rich in laughter, love and everything in between.
Big Love and we look forward to another wonderful year of wedding photography in 2019!
All the love and happiness in the world to you!

AnnaBella Chapel, One Tree Hill Maleny & Flaxton Gardens Wedding - Claire & Josh
This bride and groom held their wedding at gorgeous AnnaBella Chapel then portraits were taken at One Tree Hill in Maleny followed by an epic reception at Flaxton Gardens.
What a DAY!
Claire and Josh wanted the perfect wedding day and that is exactly what they got. Their wedding took place in one of the most beautiful chapels in Queensland. They were surrounded by the most loving family and friends. There were fluffy clouds in the sky all day making for the best photographic conditions. Sunset at One Tree Hill was breathtaking. And this wonderful couple rounded out their day at the one and only Flaxton Gardens.
The details that Claire and Josh planned for their big day were also absolutely stunning - the cars and motorbike, flowers, bridal party gifts, lanterns, signs, the list goes on. Everything was just... perfect.
What an extraordinary way to commemorate their married life together. Just spectacular.
Enjoy this visual feast...

Shelly Beach, Caloundra & One Tree Hill, Maleny Elopement
Maureen and Michael, this lovely bride and groom, chose to host their elopement at Shelly Beach in Caloundra (Sunshine Coast) which was quite a trek from their home in Melbourne, Australia. They both have a great love of nature and the beach so Caloundra was an extremely easy choice for their wedding to be held there.
This bride and groom were surrounded by 10 of their family members who witnessed their marriage ceremony. The intimacy of this elopement created an atmosphere so serene, sincere and full of love. Cloud Nine Weddings did a stunning job of adding to this intimate feeling with their gorgeous arbour design.
After the elopement wedding ceremony, the bride and groom enjoyed a quick picnic with their loved ones before heading up to One Tree Hill in Maleny for some portraits.
It was a very special thing to witness this duo in their element, in nature at it's absolute finest. One Tree Hill was all they dreamed it to be and so much more with the phenomenal sunset they were graced with to complete their amazing wedding elopement.
We wish these two only love in their life journey together in Melbourne and beyond!
Enjoy this perfectly serene elopement...

Little White Wedding Church, Maleny, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Tracey & Aaron (Brisbane)
The Little White Wedding Church in Maleny (Sunshine Coast) hosted the emotional ceremony on Tracey & Aaron's wedding day. One Tree Hill, just down the road in Maleny, then hosted this bride and groom's absolutely fun bridal party portrait session. This bunch knew how to celebrate and were non-stop laughing and joking with each other the entire time we were photographing them.
Tracey and Aaron's reception was held at the Maleny Community Centre which is one of the most spacious reception venue's on the Sunshine Coast. The night kicked on with a very emotional father-daughter dance and more belly laughs from the guests following some awesome speeches about this special pair.
Enjoy the joy...
