The rain cleared just in time for this lovely bride and groom's Fraser Island destination wedding at Kingfisher Bay Resort.
Jenny and Brenten regularly camp at Fraser Island with their friends so this was the perfect choice for their wedding day. Brenten and his groomsmen enjoyed some fishing off the pier while Jenny and her bridesmaids were getting their hair and makeup done.
The bride and groom's ceremony was so serene and absolutely beautiful. The love in Brenten's eyes for his bride was so special to witness and to photograph for them to keep forever.
The bridal party and I took off into the Fraser Island bushland for some photos before taking just the bride and groom along the beach for some couple portraits. We then hit the pier for a few drone photos followed by some stunning sunset images. Jenny and Brenten were treated to an awesome romantic sunset for the very first evening as a married couple.
Celebrations kicked on in the dingo den with speeches, a wedding buffet, cake cutting and a gorgeous moonlit first dance. Once this rad bunch got to dancing on the first dance floor they all showed their twirling skills off. I've never photographed a wedding where so many twirls occurred within such a short space of time - it must have been a guinness world record... surely! Love your work family and friends - and of course the bride and groom!
I wish you a lifetime of absolute love and happiness Jenny and Brenten :)
Enjoy!

Elephant Rock, Currumbin Beach (Gold Coast) Pre-Wedding Session
Elephant Rock in the Gold Coast turned on its absolute best charms for Joyce and Jacky's pre-wedding photography session. They flew all the way from their home city of Hong Kong to enjoy this beautiful rocky feature on Currumbin Beach.
A pre-wedding session in Hong Kong (and many parts of Asia and South-East Asia) is similar to an engagement shoot but the bride-and-groom-to-be wear wedding-style clothing. Joyce wore a wedding dress but Jacky changed into 3 or 4 different outfits throughout our two hour session. This added a fresh element to each frame that I shot and every different area we photographed in.
The Currumbin, Gold Coast sunset was so stunning on this particular evening and a great backdrop to the end of the pre-wedding photo shoot.
We all didn't want the evening to end especially once we started talking about Radiohead and Muse.
See you in Hong Kong Joyce and Jacky so we can continue our musical chats. I look forward to seeing you rock on stage also Jacky - could be another great opportunity to photograph you!
Enjoy...

Yaroomba Beach & Little Boat Cafe (Marcoola) Wedding - Hannah & Bo (Denmark)
This gorgeous bride and groom said "I do" on Yaroomba beach beside Point Arkwright on the Sunshine Coast. They flew all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark to join with the bride's massive family including her parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, friends and Bo's wonderful Mum.
Hannah and Bo are two of THE most beautiful humans you could hope to meet. They are both so kind, gracious, generous, joyous, loving, spiritual, confident and intelligent. The raw and unabashed joy on both of their faces when they locked eyes with each other after Hannah had walked down the isle was so moving for all guests in attendance. Their connection is undeniably strong and true.
Hannah's amazing Mum did not stop crying with love and joy through the entire ceremony which made both Mikala and I both want to burst into tears numerous times throughout the proceedings. Hannah on the other hand was non-stop smiling with joy plastered across her face the entire ceremony - the entire day actually! To say this ceremony was moving really is an understatement.
After a group shot, some family and bridal party photos we went on a little journey with Hannah and Bo to take some portraits in the town of Valdora where Hannah grew up. The spots we had selected to take the photos at, all contained memories from Hannah's childhood which made for a wonderfully nostalgic photo session.
After a few photos with the drone we headed to Little Boat Cafe in Marcoola for their reception. There were some extremely funny speeches combined with very touching moments and stories about the bride and groom. The bride's eldest sister, Velvet sang a song instead of making a speech. She made the song up completely on the spot. I have personally never heard such a powerful voice in all my life. Simply. Astounding. The night ended in some super dance moves, particularly from Hannah's younger brother Indigo and an epic dance off between the bride and one of her sister's, Amber.
And now Hannah and Bo have hosted their second wedding back in Copenhagen - The celebrations continue and deservedly so for this dynamic duo!
We wish you a life filled to the brim with love Hannah and Bo!!
See you in Copenhagen :)
Enjoy...
