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

South Gorge (Point Lookout), North Stradbroke Island (Brisbane) Wedding - Heidi & Jamie
Heidi and Jamie's (Brisbane) wedding on North Stradbroke Island was pure perfection. The sun didn't stop shining from dawn to dusk for their intimate wedding ceremony at South Gorge (Point Lookout).
There were some very touching moments between the bride and her mother. Heidi and her mother shared joyful tears when she had finished getting ready and when they walked down the sandy beach isle together. There were plenty of laughs and cheek-to-cheek smiles from the lovely bride and groom and all the guests who attented their stunning ceremony.
We adventured up to Point Lookout for some bridal party and couple portraits overlooking the amazing south gorge beach where their ceremony was held just an hour or so earlier. Then just the bride and groom joined us for a few more couple portraits at the beach near their deluxe accomodation, Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel.
This was the absolute fairytale wedding the Brisbane-based bride had always dreamed of and what a spectacular day it was for her dream to come true. From the flowers to Heidi's dress to the epic ceremony location. to marrying the man of her dreams. A bride could not hope for a more perfect day.
Enjoy the gorgeous beach wedding of these two beautiful ones...
