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!

Villa Botanica, Airlie Beach Whitsundays Wedding - Sunshine Coast Photographer
This was one super special wedding which took place at one of Australia’s most gorgeous venues, Villa Botanica, Airlie Beach (The Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia).
The bride and groom brought their fur-baby Norman with them to share in their stunning day.
Erin and Matt were joined by so many of their loved wins which is a testament to how much love surrounds them. They have the most amazing tribe of friends and family around them who were an absolute pleasure to photograph and certainly made for an awesome destination wedding party!
The wedding ceremony was so beautiful and kicked off with their awesome pet, Norman, running down the leafy isle towards his Dad who he hadn’t seen all day. That was one very special moment to start the ceremony proceedings.
After the ceremony we explored the beautiful Villa Botanica property with the bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen. The cactarium was a favourite and one spot the bride and groom definitely wanted photos in. We also walked down to the ocean where we were able to take some stunning photos using our trusty drone.
The reception was one of if not the most beautiful we have ever seen! It was a seriously amazing setup and the backdrop, breathtaking.
Some hilarious speeches and crazy dancing topped off this once in a lifetime day for this now happily married couple.
We wish you all the love in the world Erin, Matt & Norman!
Big Love,
Jesse & Mikala

Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Sunshine Coast Photographers - Cherie & Marty
Cherie and Marty chose the one and only Kingfisher Bay Resort (Fraser Island) as the destination for their wedding. This was such a great choice on their part and an absolute pleasure to photograph.
This bride and groom hail from Sydney so they travelled a long way, as did their guests (and us from the Sunshine Coast!) to marry each other on Australia’s and the world’s largest sand island.
In all honesty, Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island is the venue we have photographed more wedding ceremonies at than any other venue in Australia and we absolutely love it!
This was one very special wedding with loads of tears including one from the groom which we have photographic evidence of (a little hint: it was when his bride was walking down the isle)! We can understand why as Cherie looked absolutely STUNNING!
The ceremony was super lovely and concluded with a sand ceremony. Then we (the bridal party and us photographer folk along with the boys from Trending Media Australia) all explored sunset beach and the surrounding areas taking some gorgeous photos along the way.
This awesome bride and groom chose the “dingo den” to host their reception. This
is a fantastic outdoor venue that is both private, spacious and features a fire pit for toasting those marshmallows. Cherie and Marty supplied all the necessary ingredients for S’mores which caused some very big grins from their guests - great idea! Oh and have a look at the knife they used to cut their cake, or should we say machete? FYI no one was harmed during the cutting of the cake.
The bride and groom’s first dance was quite possibly one of the best ever… in the world. Seriously. This dance was phenomenal and it was a privilege to watch let along photograph. EPIC beyond words.
We wish you all the love and happiness in the world Cherie and Marty!
Enjoy!

Gympie, Queensland, Australian Private Property Wedding - Megan & Rob
Megan & Rob decided to get married on their private property in Kia Ora (Gympie) and what a spectacular wedding it was! From the moment I laid eyes on the mountain where they were going to hold their ceremony I knew this was going to be one extraordinarily beautiful wedding.
A convoy of 4-wheel drives helped all the friends and family of the bride and groom up the hill to the picturesque ceremony location. We won't mention the trouble the groom had with his vehicle as that would be a little embarassing and one thing from his wedding day he would rather forget - sorry Rob!
Once everyone had gathered at the cinematic ceremony location, they were able to really savour the special moment of the bride and her Dad walking down the long, steep mountain aisle. Seeing the bride and groom standing next to each other and saying their vows on this hill really was out of this world. No matter where you looked there was an epic sweeping landscape - eye candy for the soul.
Many of Megan and Rob's family live on the properties surrounding theirs which gave the wedding a very warm and comforting feeling. There really was no better place for this great couple to marry at.
The bride and groom planted a tree after their stunning wedding ceremony where they can watch it grow, just like their love in the years to come. Then the bridal party and I explored the property for some portraits. There's a raw and beautiful rustic country feeling about these two and their surroundings - simply gorgeous.
The party kicked on at the Kia Ora Memorial Hall where the reception was held. There were some very funny speeches, absolutely beautiful food provided by Penfold's Catering of Noosa and plenty of twirls on the dance floor. Memories were made that will never be forgotton.
Well done Rob and Megan on hosting an outstanding wedding!
We wish you all the very best for your lives together as a married couple.
Enjoy...
