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!

Yandina Station Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer - Leisa & Mark

Yandina Station (Sunshine Coast) is one of Queensland’s most respected and loved wedding venues, so it was an easy choice for Leisa and Mark to hold their ceremony and reception there. It was an absolutely perfect Yandina day for this fun-loving bride and groom - the sun was out all day and smiles were shining on everyone’s faces.

Leisa and Mark both got ready in separate cottages on the gorgeous Yandina Station property. Everyone in the bridal party was very relaxed during this time when the bridesmaids were getting their makeup on and hair perfected and the groomsmen were drinking beer and figuring out how to attach the corsages to their suit shirts. On a side note, the bridesmaids were drinking beer too!

Naturally the nerves hit when it was time for the groomsmen to gather at the rustic wooden arbour and the bridesmaids to start walking down that, what feels like, ever so long wedding isle. The wedding ceremony itself was full of fun and laughter which reflected perfectly on the nature and relationship of these two awesome humans. The bride and groom both have a great sense of humour which made for not only an enjoyable ceremony but such a fun-filled day where all the wedding guests felt so comfortable to be themselves.

After the wedding ceremony the bride, groom and bridal party came with us, adventuring around the stunning Yandina Station property taking some portraits. Then we took off to some special photography spots just with the now happily married couple to take some artistic wedding photos. Not only was the weather calm and clear but the moon also made a special appearance at just the right time of the day - it was the most epic orange colour!

We ventured back to the Old Dairy and Dairy Barn where the bride and groom were met with a rapturous applause from their friends and family. The night kicked on with plenty of laughs during speeches, a cake cutting, first dance, bouquet toss (epic!), garter toss and some absolutely fantastic and enviable dance moves - even from grandma who owned that dance floor!
We wish you all the love and happiness possible Leisa and Mark!

Big Love,
Jesse & Mikala

Our trusty drone has played a very important part in how we capture weddings and will only continue to grow as being an integral part of our photography in 2018. The great thing about our drone service is that it's free with every wedding package we offer - YAY!
We want to say a massive thank you to all of the wonderful couples we have created with this year - it's been a complete honour to be your wedding photographers.
We're already looking forward to photographing weddings on the Sunshine Coast, throughout Queensland, The Whitsundays, Melbourne, Ireland and beyond in 2018.

Yandina Station, Sunshine Coast (Australian) Autumn Wedding - Lisa & Dave

This warm and generous couple hosted their wedding day at the one and only Yandina Station. Lisa and Dave are from a small town called Gayndah, just west of Hervey Bay and Fraser Island and so the country chic feel of Yandina Station suited them perfectly.
They preened and prepared themselves at Coolum Caprice with epic views of Coolum Beach. 
The ceremony was outside under the Moreton Bay Fig Tree where they so emotionally said "I do" to each other. The tears could not be held back, especially from Lisa's gorgeous bridesmaids. Emotions ran high when the bride and groom exchanged vows, rings and then sealed the deal with a kiss. The emotions quickly turned into laughter post ceremony with hugs of congratulations and celebration all around.
We explored the grounds with the bridal party for some photographic portraits. Dave and his groomsmen were definitely a highlight when they took hold of the decorative umbrellas that were meant for the bridesmaids - or were they?
The reception rolled on in the old dairy at Yandina Station with new flooring which looks outstanding and was an awesome platform for this happy, humble duo's celebration dinner. The speeches from Lisa and Dave's loved ones were beyond heartwarming. But the dancing... well that's another story. This bunch of Gayndahnians know how to stomp their way around a dance floor. Fun, happy, silly, crazy. None of these words can possibly describe the awesome dancing styles that took place in the old dairy of Yandina Station on Sunday, April 2, 2017. There's no doubt this particular evening will go down in the history books as one of the most epic nights of dancing ever seen at Yandina Station.
We wish you all the love, happiness and everything in between for your lives together Lisa and Dave.
Enjoy...
