Emma and Dylan travelled all the way from the Sunshine Coast to Fiji for their spectacular wedding so we thought why not make the most of it and do a trash the dress session.
The morning after the bride and groom's wedding we headed out to the beautiful crystal clear beach water in front of the Fiji Outrigger Resort and trashed that dress and suit.
It. Was. Awesome.

Fraser Island Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australian Photographers - Alyson & Scott
Alyson & Scott, an awesome pair who hail from the Sunshine Coast decided to host their destination wedding on Fraser Island. Kingfisher Bay Resort turned on some awesome weather and an absolute perfect day for the bride and groom's beautiful wedding.
There were a few tears as Alyson was walking down the isle but 99% of their wedding was filled with smiles and laughter.
We explored Kingfisher Bay Resort after the ceremony to take some bridal party portraits. Then to kick off the couple portraits our trusty drone made an appearance as he usually does for some epic images of Alyson and Scott on the World's largest sand island. Fraser Island really is so stunning and so is this rad duo - perfect match!
The party kicked on at the reception with some heartfelt and some hilarious speeches. After their first dance, all of the bride and groom's family hit the dancefloor and there were some very dramatic dance moves and epic air guitar.
This was one spectacular wedding with a wonderful bunch of family and friends surrounding Alyson and Scott for their very special day.
We wish you all the happiness and laughter in the world you two awesomes!
Enjoy...

Yabbaloumba Retreat, Kenilworth, Sunshine Coast Wedding - Brooke & Jacob
Brooke and Jacob not only make an awesome couple, they are also beautiful humans who chose a wedding venue that embodies exactly who they are - Yabbaloumba Retreat. This bride and groom love nature, people, laughter and just generally having a great time. Yabbaloumba Retreat was the perfect space to enjoy all of this.
They both got ready in separate cabins up on the hill with their bridesmaids and groomsmen. After they had all preened and styled themselves they made the short journey back down the hill to their gorgeous ceremony. There were plenty of teary eyes around and loads of beaming smiles too.
After their ceremony, Brooke and Jacob enjoyed a hug-a-thon with all of their friends and family followed by some bridal party portraits down by the stunning natural spring. We did some drone shots at the spring before venturing along the creek bed framing them in the surrounding nature of gorgeous and romantic Yabbaloumba Retreat.
The bride and groom made it down to their reception by the lake and enjoyed an epic welcome by all their loved ones. Everyone enjoy the wood fired pizza, paella from The Paella Fella, Pofferijes and a massive range of beer and wine.
There was a great mixture of tears and laughter during the speeches even Mr Photographer couldn't hold back. Once the cake was cut post-speeches then the crazy dance moves began. This awesome bunch know how to have fun!
We wish you all the love and happiness in the world Brooke and Jacob!

Gympie, Queensland, Australian Private Property Wedding - Megan & Rob
Megan & Rob decided to get married on their private property in Kia Ora (Gympie) and what a spectacular wedding it was! From the moment I laid eyes on the mountain where they were going to hold their ceremony I knew this was going to be one extraordinarily beautiful wedding.
A convoy of 4-wheel drives helped all the friends and family of the bride and groom up the hill to the picturesque ceremony location. We won't mention the trouble the groom had with his vehicle as that would be a little embarassing and one thing from his wedding day he would rather forget - sorry Rob!
Once everyone had gathered at the cinematic ceremony location, they were able to really savour the special moment of the bride and her Dad walking down the long, steep mountain aisle. Seeing the bride and groom standing next to each other and saying their vows on this hill really was out of this world. No matter where you looked there was an epic sweeping landscape - eye candy for the soul.
Many of Megan and Rob's family live on the properties surrounding theirs which gave the wedding a very warm and comforting feeling. There really was no better place for this great couple to marry at.
The bride and groom planted a tree after their stunning wedding ceremony where they can watch it grow, just like their love in the years to come. Then the bridal party and I explored the property for some portraits. There's a raw and beautiful rustic country feeling about these two and their surroundings - simply gorgeous.
The party kicked on at the Kia Ora Memorial Hall where the reception was held. There were some very funny speeches, absolutely beautiful food provided by Penfold's Catering of Noosa and plenty of twirls on the dance floor. Memories were made that will never be forgotton.
Well done Rob and Megan on hosting an outstanding wedding!
We wish you all the very best for your lives together as a married couple.
Enjoy...
