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 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!

Noosa Riverdeck Wedding, Sunshine Coast Photographers - Natalie & Kallan
Oh what an amazing wedding day for this fun-loving bride and groom at Noosa Riverdeck on the one and only Noosa River.
There were so many tears shed before Natalie and Kallan had even seen each other for the first time on the Noosa Riverdeck helipad. The entrance by Natalie and her mum to the ceremony was soooo emotional, Mikala and I had tears welling up in our eyes! The Noosa River ceremony was so beautiful with more tears and a tonne of laughter from all who were invited to witness this momentus event. This bride and groom clearly make an absolutely fantastic duo.
After family photos on the Noosa Riverdeck helipad we jumped on a bus with the bridal party. We b-lined over to Noosa's gem Hidden Grove and Main Beach for some bridal party portraits and some romantic couple portraits with the newlyweds. The sunset Noosa produced for the married couple's first evening together was incredible! You couldn't dream of a more beautiful sunset - thank you Noosa!
The wedding evening kicked on with delicious food and drinks at Noosa Riverdeck accompanied by some awesome tunes by Matt Boylan-Smith.
This day was such an amazing celebration for two loved and very in-love humans.
All the love and happiness to you Natalie & Kallan!
Enjoy...

PS. The groom left one of his groomsmen's pair of pants back in Bli Bli. So Kallan and his groomsman drove all the way back to Bli Bli together to get the missing pants. This is why the groom is missing from all of his getting ready photos. But his other groomsmen did a pretty awesome job of showing off his outfit to the camera :)

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...
