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...

Wedding Dress Bridal Inspo - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographers
Why is your choice of wedding dress so important? As a bride you want to feel beautiful, comfortable and special on your wedding day. There are always seasonal trends coming and going throughout each wedding season but every bride is unique and so must choose THE dress that they KNOW is the one for them. The fit, the cut, the colour, the fabric, the trimmings - these all must be right for your wedding day.
In this blog we have featured some elegant dresses from the last Australian wedding season to give the Brides of tomorrow a little inspiration.
Enjoy! and let us know which dress speaks to you the most in the comments at the bottom of the post.

This stunning vintage dress was made by the bride's mother and worn with the most extraordinary backdrop of the Glasshouse Mountains in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Torrential rain did not stop this lovely bride enjoying her wedding day and getting the most out of her dress on beautiful Mooloolaba Beach, Sunshine Coast (Queensland).
Black & White Wedding Photography - Sunshine Coast Photographer
Colour looks great when used in wedding photography - but so does black and white! Some of our all time favourite wedding photos, whether taken on the Sunshine Coast or in Switzerland, we have edited in black and white. Sometimes this black and white treatment manages to capture the emotion of a moment in a wedding photograph better than colour ever could have.
Below is a selection of these taken from various weddings and locations including Maroochydore, Maleny, Melbourne and plenty of other places starting with the letter M.

Bride Spotlight - Sunshine Coast Destination Wedding Photographer
Bride's deserve to be in the spotlight on their wedding day purely due to the amount of time and effort they pour into their weddings. This post is specifically to pay homage to this wedding energy spent by our brides and also to how absolutely STUNNING they look.
We love focusing on the bride from the first stroke of eyeliner to the tears shed during the ceremony all the way to the ever emotional first dance.
Brides if you need any assistance with preparing your Sunshine Coast or destination wedding please check out our suppliers at the bottom of each of our website pages or contact us via our Contact page.
