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...

Bangalow (Byron Bay) Destination Wedding - Jess & Jamie (Brisbane)
Jess & Jamie held their wedding in gorgeous Bangalow (Byron Bay Hinterland), Northern New South Wales. This not only a wedding day but also a celebration of Jess & Jamie being together 10 years!
This cruisy couple are so relaxed that they decided to change their wedding venue within the last week leading up to their wedding. What a fantastic choice it was too getting hitched at Forget Me Not in Bangalow. The property features a historical house, manicured gardens and its own small lake.
The bride and groom's celebrant was the best man's father which added a great intimacy to their ceremony.
We wandered around the gardens taking some beautiful, relaxed portraits post ceremony. There were plenty of belly laughs with this great bride and groom and their fun-loving bridal party.
The reception was held at A&I Hall in Bangalow town. This gorgeous, ornate building was perfect for housing this bunch of crazy dancers, with its massive high ceiling and stage for the band. The night certainly kicked up a few gears once most guests stormed the dance floor!
Enjoy this absolutely wonderful couple's special day...
