2018 has been a MASSIVE year of wedding photography for Mikala and I. 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!

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...

Spicers Clovelly Estate, Montville, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Natasha & Sean
Natasha and Sean are two adventurous spirits who live on the Sunshine Coast but love to travel the world. They chose one of the absolute premium and most beautiful venues to marry each other in Montville (Sunshine Coast Hinterland), Spicers Clovelly Estate.
Sean and his groomsmen chose to get a hair and face trim at The Mad Barbers in Mooloolaba before getting ready and heading up to Spicers Clovelly Estate to join his lovely bride. This was the perfect way for the groom and groomsmen to start their day - a round of shots and all!
Natasha prepared and preened with her bridesmaids at Spicers Clovelly in style. Her absolutely amazing dress by Christos Bridal suited her perfectly. Everything about Spicers Clovelly is stunning - the furniture, the walls, the art, the gardens, the views. They are one of the most popular venues on the Sunshine Coast for a reason (many reasons!).
The Jacaranda Tree was the perfect spot for this wonderful bride and groom to exchange their vows under. Natasha and Sean could not have hoped for a more perfect day to host their wedding in front of their beloved family and friends. Their choice of flowers was stunning and beautifully designed by Mondo Floral Designs.
We explored the gorgeous grounds of Montville's Spicers Clovelly Estate after the ceremony where the bride and groom were bathed in the most glorious winter sunshine during the golden hour of sunset. The love and happiness these two beautiful humans share with each other is so obvious and radiates at all times.
The Library Deck is one of the most amazing buildings we've seen to date for hosting a wedding reception. Natasha and Sean clearly had the time of their lives at their reception dinner followed by the first dance and some crazy party dancing to top off what was the best day of their lives.
Enjoy the visual tale of this special duo...
