This gorgeous bride and groom said "I do" on Yaroomba beach beside Point Arkwright on the Sunshine Coast. They flew all the way from Copenhagen, Denmark to join with the bride's massive family including her parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, friends and Bo's wonderful Mum.
Hannah and Bo are two of THE most beautiful humans you could hope to meet. They are both so kind, gracious, generous, joyous, loving, spiritual, confident and intelligent. The raw and unabashed joy on both of their faces when they locked eyes with each other after Hannah had walked down the isle was so moving for all guests in attendance. Their connection is undeniably strong and true.
Hannah's amazing Mum did not stop crying with love and joy through the entire ceremony which made both Mikala and I both want to burst into tears numerous times throughout the proceedings. Hannah on the other hand was non-stop smiling with joy plastered across her face the entire ceremony - the entire day actually! To say this ceremony was moving really is an understatement.
After a group shot, some family and bridal party photos we went on a little journey with Hannah and Bo to take some portraits in the town of Valdora where Hannah grew up. The spots we had selected to take the photos at, all contained memories from Hannah's childhood which made for a wonderfully nostalgic photo session.
After a few photos with the drone we headed to Little Boat Cafe in Marcoola for their reception. There were some extremely funny speeches combined with very touching moments and stories about the bride and groom. The bride's eldest sister, Velvet sang a song instead of making a speech. She made the song up completely on the spot. I have personally never heard such a powerful voice in all my life. Simply. Astounding. The night ended in some super dance moves, particularly from Hannah's younger brother Indigo and an epic dance off between the bride and one of her sister's, Amber.
And now Hannah and Bo have hosted their second wedding back in Copenhagen - The celebrations continue and deservedly so for this dynamic duo!
We wish you a life filled to the brim with love Hannah and Bo!!
See you in Copenhagen :)
Enjoy...

Kingfisher Bay Resort, Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Gabrielle & Josh
This bride and groom held their destination wedding at Queensland's stunning Kingfisher Bay Resort, Fraser Island. Gabrielle and Josh's wedding was highly emotionally fuelled with tears galloping down many cheeks surrounding them. Their ceremony was heart-felt, intimate and set on Fraser Island's stunning Sunset Beach.
They had a little visitor pre-ceremony - a resident dingo who does not appear very often. From this point on, the tears flowed - in happiness and in love.
Thankfully after hours of searching for the keys to Gabrielle's prized and faithful car, they found them! So post-ceremony the bridal party walked over to the jetty where the bride's car was parked and enjoyed a very unique and creative portrait session.
Gab & Josh had their reception by the pool. This was relaxed, intimate and jam-packed full of laughs and a few more tears! It was evident there was so much love between the bride, groom and all of their family and friends from the warm hugs they constantly gave each other throughout the day. This was extremely beautiful to witness.
Enjoy this Fraser Island destination wedding beauty...

Shelly Beach, Caloundra & One Tree Hill, Maleny Elopement
Maureen and Michael, this lovely bride and groom, chose to host their elopement at Shelly Beach in Caloundra (Sunshine Coast) which was quite a trek from their home in Melbourne, Australia. They both have a great love of nature and the beach so Caloundra was an extremely easy choice for their wedding to be held there.
This bride and groom were surrounded by 10 of their family members who witnessed their marriage ceremony. The intimacy of this elopement created an atmosphere so serene, sincere and full of love. Cloud Nine Weddings did a stunning job of adding to this intimate feeling with their gorgeous arbour design.
After the elopement wedding ceremony, the bride and groom enjoyed a quick picnic with their loved ones before heading up to One Tree Hill in Maleny for some portraits.
It was a very special thing to witness this duo in their element, in nature at it's absolute finest. One Tree Hill was all they dreamed it to be and so much more with the phenomenal sunset they were graced with to complete their amazing wedding elopement.
We wish these two only love in their life journey together in Melbourne and beyond!
Enjoy this perfectly serene elopement...

Spicers Clovelly Estate, Montville, Sunshine Coast Destination Wedding - Melissa & Mark (Brisbane)
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...
