Nicole and Elliot, affectionately known as Nic and El, married each other in an intimate heart-string tugging wedding ceremony overlooking their beloved local, Moffat Beach (Caloundra, Sunshine Coast).
The bride and groom prepped and preened themselves in gorgeous Caloundra beach shacks super close to their impending wedding ceremony. El had loads of his family and friends fly over from the UK to join him while Nic was joined by all of her beloveds from Victoria, Australia. They all became one big family on this highly emotional wedding day.
Nic arrived at the ceremony car park in her super cute little mini van with her bouquet out the window! One second she was laughing and the next crying - the emotions were running high seeing all of her friends and family and of course her one and only, El. Finally this awesome bride and groom were together and ready to say their vows and become husband and wife. The first kiss was gorgeous and topped off this wedding ceremony so perfectly.
Everyone made their way across the Caloundra Gem, Moffat Beach after the wedding. Some guests even opted to carry a pram… across the beach. Complete troopers innit. We took a few candid photos of the wedding guests and the bride and groom as they journeyed across the epic beach location.
Nic and El met everyone at The Pocket Espresso Bar which is one of the Sunshine Coast’s absolute gems. The newly married couple hugged, kissed and high fived their guests for a while until we took them out for a few more special wedding photos at the point. Our trusty drone made an appearance and took some spectacular photographs of the bride and groom. Nic and El jumped up just in time from lying down on the rocks before a wave washed right over where they had been lying. Phewww!
The night kicked on at the reception with some stellar speeches, ridiculously delicious food, brilliant live tunes followed by the entire crowd of friends and family singing and dancing to said brilliant live tunes.
What an epic wedding!!!
We wish you all the love, happiness and laughter in the world Nic and El!
Big love,
Jesse & Mikala X
Spicers Clovelly Estate, Montville, Sunshine Coast Destination Wedding - Melissa & Mark (Brisbane)
These two quiet, Board game lovers from Brisbane hosted their beautiful wedding at the one and only Spicers Clovelly Estate in Montville (Sunshine Coast Hinterland).
Melissa was supposed to get ready in the spa suite but decided to swap with Mark, her husband-to-be, once she laid eyes on the gorgeous historical cottage, which was more her style. But Mark got to enjoy the luxury of the spa suite - both amazing choices! That is the beauty of Spicers Clovelly, they have something for everyone.
The famous Spicers Clovelly jacaranda tree was in full bloom which made THE perfect backdrop for this absolutely lovely bride and groom's stunning ceremony.
We then explored the Spicers Clovelly Estate (Sunshine Coast) grounds and took some jacaranda tree portraits with the bridal party. The bride and groom then embarked on a solo portrait mission with us to soak up the Spicers sunset and light up our camera lenses.
The loved up newly married couple (from Brisbane) then made their grand entrance to the reception in the naturally decorated library deck surrounded by lush forest. There were so many belly laughs throughout the reception - there would have been many sore cheeks the next morning (maybe a few sore heads too!).
All in all this was a spectacular day for the bride and groom and all of their family and friends. It was also a super special day for us having photographed the bride's sister's wedding last year and now getting to see all those lovely faces again - such wonderful people.
Oh and check out the guy doing "the worm" on the reception dancefloor - one for the ages!
Enjoy this beautiful day...

Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Michelle & Steve
Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar, sunshine and most importantly a couple in love made for the most gorgeous wedding. An isle made of petals, pineapples on every table and kids with smiles full of sunshine and lollipops. This Sunshine Coast wedding was fun to attend, beautiful to see and refreshing for the soul. The bride and groom didn't want any portraits of themselves but wanted us to focus purely on photographing natural, candid moments and the pretty details of their Noosa Waterfront ceremony and reception. We did take a few sneaky portraits of Michelle and Steve as they were just so stunning - it would have been criminal not too! We did respect their notion though (apart from 5 portrait minutes) and captured many wonderful moments they experienced and plenty they would never have seen without two photographers.
Splash Events did an absolutely amazing job of decorating the wedding and as always Willow Bud produced glorious floral bouquets and flower arrangements.
The Paper Flowers takes on some popular and other more alternative songs had every single guest on the dancefloor. This awesome duo truly rock!
Enjoy these special moments...
