It may have been rainy but Emily and Mattβs Fraser Island (Kingfisher Bay Resort) wedding was absolutely beautiful. This dedicated, happy and positive bride and groom celebrated in an epic fashion with all of their nearest and dearest wedding guests.
Emily got ready with her 3 bridesmaids while Matt prepped himself with his 6 groomsmen. We do love a photography challenge with uneven bridal party numbers!
The stunning bride had a very moving first look with her Dad. What an absolutely amazing moment this was for this gorgeous daughter and father.
Matt was highly emotional when he finally got to see his stunning bride walking down the isle. It was a super special reunion for them both in front of all their family and friends. The confidence of this bride and groom and their love for each other was wonderful to witness. Their smiles and laughter did not stop throughout their wedding ceremony.
After the wedding, the rain stopped long enough for us to whisk the bridal party and the newly wedded bride and groom out to the Kingfisher Bay Resort pier for some portraits. We even got the chance to fly the drone for some aerial wedding photos, rain-free!
Emily and Matt were uproariously welcomed into their wedding reception by their guests. The night was filled with emotional speeches accented with tears, enthusiastic bouquet and garter tosses finishing with some enviable dance moves from some of the bridal party and the guests. What a day. What a night!
Congratulations Matt & Emily! We wish you all the love in the world!

Kingfisher Bay Resort, Fraser Island Wedding - Sunshine Coast Destination Photographer - Angela & Taidgh
Angela and Taidgh held their wedding on gorgeous Fraser Island, at Kingfisher Bay Resort. This multi award winning destination eco wedding resort created the perfect backdrop for these two adventurous, outdoor lovers to tie the knot.
The bride and groom both got ready in different locations to leave the big wedding dress reveal until Angela was walking down the isle.
The gorgeous bride looked breathtaking walking down the natural path to Sunset Beach (a must visit when on Fraser Island - what a destination!) where her groom was waiting in anticipation. Their wedding ceremony was so beautiful, marked by lovely vows and plenty of laughs!
Sealed with a kiss and signing of the marriage papers and certificate, this awesome bride and groom walked back down the isle and were showered by VERY enthusiastic petal throwers!
Post wedding ceremony we whisked the bridal party away after their group and family photos to various locations around Kingfisher Bay Resort. One location the newly married couple wanted to take photos at was on the pier. They got a member of their bridal party to drive the beloved jeep onto the end of the pier where we captured some beautiful, epic and spontaneous moments, with the moon too!
Laughter was a staple at this bride and groomβs wedding reception, held at the Dingo Den just down by the water. The speeches were hilarious and heartwarming all at the same time. The cake was definitely not your ordinary wedding cake. Wait until you see the photos of this beauty! Oh and the bouquet toss was nothing short of epic - what a BATTLE.
This was one very special and epic, fun-filled day for Angela and Taidgh - two very special people who are so very in love.
Congratulations again guys. We wish you all the love and happiness in the world!

Best of 2019 Wedding Photos - Sunshine Coast, Australian Destination Photographers
2019 was an action packed year for us and our of wedding photography business. In October we photographed 9 weddings in 3 weeks during October. One of these weddings was in country Victoria and four of them were destination weddings on Fraser Island. The rest of them were on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. It was an absolutely bonkers busy time but we loved all of the awesome brides and grooms we worked and created with. Not only that we had a blast meeting all of the bridal parties, family and friends from each and every one of these weddings. We also travelled to New Zealand earlier in the year for a gorgeous destination wedding in Russell (Bay of Islands). We do love ourselves an international destination wedding!
We managed to finish the year by winning a couple of international wedding photography awards too. The first was a Fearless Award which is beyond an honour considering there were over ten thousand photos entered into the competition. The second and most recent was a third placing in the βFrom Aboveβ category of (this oneβs a mouthful) the International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards. Both of these award winning images are pictured just below this text.
Oh and just before Christmas our main Instagram account @alltheloveintheworld_photos was hijacked and has been turned into a Turkish jewellery page. We had 39.1k followers, yep nearly 40, 000. So if you hapen to know how to get a completely hijacked Instagram account (they changed the email and password associated with the account) back we would LOVE to hear from you. Even better if you know someone that works for Instagram please hook us up!
It has been a brilliant year though and weβre so thankful to all the loved up newly married couples we have had the privilege of working with - THANK YOU!!! And to all the wedding vendors we have worked with on the Sunshine Coast and beyond, thank you for your friendship and laughs throughout the year - what a great bunch you all are.
We are so looking forward to photographing all of the couples who have already booked us to photograph their weddings and we canβt wait to meet loads more of you newly engaged couples in the upcoming months. We do love talking ceremonies, receptions, drones, sunset times (yep weβre nerdy like that), cakes, flowers and of course photography, with the newly engaged folk from around the world.
Big Love and a super happy new year to you all!

Best Drone Wedding Photos of 2018 - Sunshine Coast Destination Aerial Photographers
Our drone has received quite a workout this year at the weddings weβve photographed across the Sunshine Coast - Noosa, Maleny, Montville, Mapleton, Caloundra, Nambour, Yandina, Valdora, Obi Obi, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Kawana, Point Cartwright, Point Arkwright, Coolum, Beerwah and more. But our trusty drone also travelled to Villa Botanica (Airlie Beach, The Whitsundays), Ireland, Portugal, London, Hong Kong and Melbourne.
We want to thank all the brides and grooms, bridesmaids, groomsmen, friends, family and randoms who trusted us as photographers and also who laid down on sand, grass, wood, rocks, pebbles, bridges, piers, boats, roads and dance floors to get THAT shot. We certainly have a lot of fun during the drone wedding and engagement photo sessions but also ironically our brides and grooms often comment that it was the most relaxing part of their wedding day.
Needless to say our trusty sidekick drone is taking some well earned R&R over the Christmas and New Year break.
Please enjoy some of our favourite drone moments captured at some stunning venues and locations around the world featuring some gorgeous newlyweds.
Merry Christmas and a super Happy New Year to you!
Big love,
Jesse & Mikala X
