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...

Gabbinbar Homestead Estate, Toowoomba Destination Wedding - Cat & Sean
Cat and Sean tied the knot at Gabbinbar Homestead Estate in Toowoomba. This is one of Queensland's top wedding venues and there is no question as to why. Gabbinbar is both historical and prestigious and the absolute perfect venue to host this rad bride and groom's wedding. (The owner and staff at Gabbinbar Homestead make the most helpful and professional wedding team you could hope for).
This warm and fun-loving couple are full of adventure, playfullness and style so Gabbinbar Homestead was a giant and glamorous, theatrical playground for them. Sean is Mr. Smooth Operator and Cat is Mrs. Dance-the-night-away and together they are a bundle of relaxed excitement. They balance each other perfectly.
The delightful bride and groom's family and friends gathered from many corners of the globe to witness and revel in the love they share so generously. One of Cat's 5 brothers unfortunately couldn't make it to the wedding in person but his wife held up her phone so he could watch the entire ceremony on Skype. +100 points for technology!
The rollercoaster of emotions did not stop throughout the entire wedding starting with a tear in Sean's eye when he saw Cat walking down their gorgeous outdoor isle. The laughter really marked their day though. The bride and groom, the bridesmaids, groomsmen, family, friends - everyone smiled and laughed the day away making for the absolute happiest day of Cat & Sean's lives.
Enjoy this natural yet theatrical feast of wedding grandeur at its best.

Little White Wedding Church, Maleny, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Tracey & Aaron (Brisbane)
The Little White Wedding Church in Maleny (Sunshine Coast) hosted the emotional ceremony on Tracey & Aaron's wedding day. One Tree Hill, just down the road in Maleny, then hosted this bride and groom's absolutely fun bridal party portrait session. This bunch knew how to celebrate and were non-stop laughing and joking with each other the entire time we were photographing them.
Tracey and Aaron's reception was held at the Maleny Community Centre which is one of the most spacious reception venue's on the Sunshine Coast. The night kicked on with a very emotional father-daughter dance and more belly laughs from the guests following some awesome speeches about this special pair.
Enjoy the joy...

Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Michelle & Steve
Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar, sunshine and most importantly a couple in love made for the most gorgeous wedding. An isle made of petals, pineapples on every table and kids with smiles full of sunshine and lollipops. This Sunshine Coast wedding was fun to attend, beautiful to see and refreshing for the soul. The bride and groom didn't want any portraits of themselves but wanted us to focus purely on photographing natural, candid moments and the pretty details of their Noosa Waterfront ceremony and reception. We did take a few sneaky portraits of Michelle and Steve as they were just so stunning - it would have been criminal not too! We did respect their notion though (apart from 5 portrait minutes) and captured many wonderful moments they experienced and plenty they would never have seen without two photographers.
Splash Events did an absolutely amazing job of decorating the wedding and as always Willow Bud produced glorious floral bouquets and flower arrangements.
The Paper Flowers takes on some popular and other more alternative songs had every single guest on the dancefloor. This awesome duo truly rock!
Enjoy these special moments...
