Best of 2019 Wedding Photos - Sunshine Coast, Australian Destination Photographers

2019 was an action packed year for us and our of wedding photography business. In October we photographed 9 weddings in 3 weeks during October. One of these weddings was in country Victoria and four of them were destination weddings on Fraser Island. The rest of them were on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. It was an absolutely bonkers busy time but we loved all of the awesome brides and grooms we worked and created with. Not only that we had a blast meeting all of the bridal parties, family and friends from each and every one of these weddings. We also travelled to New Zealand earlier in the year for a gorgeous destination wedding in Russell (Bay of Islands). We do love ourselves an international destination wedding!

We managed to finish the year by winning a couple of international wedding photography awards too. The first was a Fearless Award which is beyond an honour considering there were over ten thousand photos entered into the competition. The second and most recent was a third placing in the “From Above” category of (this one’s a mouthful) the International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards. Both of these award winning images are pictured just below this text.

Oh and just before Christmas our main Instagram account @alltheloveintheworld_photos was hijacked and has been turned into a Turkish jewellery page. We had 39.1k followers, yep nearly 40, 000. So if you hapen to know how to get a completely hijacked Instagram account (they changed the email and password associated with the account) back we would LOVE to hear from you. Even better if you know someone that works for Instagram please hook us up!

It has been a brilliant year though and we’re so thankful to all the loved up newly married couples we have had the privilege of working with - THANK YOU!!! And to all the wedding vendors we have worked with on the Sunshine Coast and beyond, thank you for your friendship and laughs throughout the year - what a great bunch you all are.

We are so looking forward to photographing all of the couples who have already booked us to photograph their weddings and we can’t wait to meet loads more of you newly engaged couples in the upcoming months. We do love talking ceremonies, receptions, drones, sunset times (yep we’re nerdy like that), cakes, flowers and of course photography, with the newly engaged folk from around the world.

Big Love and a super happy new year to you all!

Best Drone Wedding Photos of 2018 - Sunshine Coast Destination Aerial Photographers

Our drone has received quite a workout this year at the weddings we’ve photographed across the Sunshine Coast - Noosa, Maleny, Montville, Mapleton, Caloundra, Nambour, Yandina, Valdora, Obi Obi, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Kawana, Point Cartwright, Point Arkwright, Coolum, Beerwah and more. But our trusty drone also travelled to Villa Botanica (Airlie Beach, The Whitsundays), Ireland, Portugal, London, Hong Kong and Melbourne.

We want to thank all the brides and grooms, bridesmaids, groomsmen, friends, family and randoms who trusted us as photographers and also who laid down on sand, grass, wood, rocks, pebbles, bridges, piers, boats, roads and dance floors to get THAT shot. We certainly have a lot of fun during the drone wedding and engagement photo sessions but also ironically our brides and grooms often comment that it was the most relaxing part of their wedding day.

Needless to say our trusty sidekick drone is taking some well earned R&R over the Christmas and New Year break.

Please enjoy some of our favourite drone moments captured at some stunning venues and locations around the world featuring some gorgeous newlyweds.

Merry Christmas and a super Happy New Year to you!

Big love,
Jesse & Mikala X

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 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!

Our Favourite Wedding Photos of 2016 - The Sunshine Coast & Beyond!

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...
