2016 has been a HUGE year of wedding photography for us! We've explored some gorgeous cities, venues and properties for the weddings we photographed from Fraser Island & Stradbroke Island to The Sunshine Coast to Brisbane, Toowoomba, The Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Bangalow and beyond.
The love stories we have witnessed between the couples we've worked with have been nothing short of uplifting, moving, gut-wrenching and inspiring.
Mikala and I often say to each other after finishing a wedding that we feel like part of the bride's and groom's families - creepy but true :) We always get swept up in the relationships and emotions of what is one of the absolute most important days of their lives.
We really have met, worked and bonded with some extraordinarily loving souls this year. If we happen to bump into any of you (brides and grooms) post wedding, we're not stalking you just because we miss you and want to hang out with you some more - promise :)
The happiest of new years and a prosperous 2017 to all of you and to the amazing duo's we framed throughout 2016 in our camera lenses. Keep on loving each other just like the day you were married and we'll see some of you when we're the photographers at your friend's weddings soon!
Enjoy the year that was...

Tranquil Park, Maleny Wedding, Sunshine Coast - Shanae & Kamahl (Brisbane)
Warmth and Happiness exuded from this adorable couple from the moment we first met them. Shannae and Kamahl (Brisbane) are both such genuinely lovely people and so relaxed which made it an absolute pleasure to work with them to capture the special moments of their Maleny, Sunshine Coast Hinterland Wedding.
The views from Tranquil Park, Maleny (the venue where their wedding ceremony and reception were held) are nothing short of magnificent.
After the brisbane-based couple's moving ceremony we set off exploring Maleny with this rad pair and their super fun wedding party. We took all sorts of portraits in two spectacular locations including the naturally beautiful Mary Cairncross Park.
This was a stunning destination wedding and couple surrounded by so many loving family and friends in one of the most epic wedding destinations in the world.
Enjoy the beauty...
