Tara and Adem don't play by the rules. This unique, warm and super friendly duo officially got married at the Flinders Street Station photo booth weeks before their BIG wedding at Melbourne Town Hall. They did this so that their Mums and Grandma could participate in marrying them in front of 225 of their dearest friends and family.
So, the bride and groom's bridal party and couple portraits were taken mostly while casually walking the streets of Melbourne (Tara & Adem's request) before their ceremony. Photos in a Melbourne laneway, their beloved Flinders Street photobooth and at Ben and Jerry's Icecreamery were a must.
The ceremony banner was created by the bride herself - AHHHmazing. Some other innovative ideas featured at the reception consisted of a craft table, pinata forest, miniature photobooth beside their cake, micro coffee cart and an epic swing band! Oh, and Tara rocked a floral boa instead of a bouquet - seriously above and beyond awesome.
This was an extremely unique, fun-filled, heartfelt, innovative and creative wedding day with so much love given and received by the bride and groom and all who attended this epic occasion.
We wish you all the love, happiness and laughter in the world Tara & Adem!

Ocean View Estates Wedding - Sunshine Coast, Australia - Emily & Nathan
This bride and groom are used to wide open spaces in the country so it's only fitting they chose Ocean View Estates (Mount mee) just north of The Sunshine Coast. Ocean View Estates is one seriously stunning wedding venue with beautiful views and absolutely delicious, gourmet food.
Emily and Nathan are such a kind, warm and generous couple from the country. There were some great country touches to their wedding like the bride and bridesmaid's boots and socks and the groom's hat.
Even though there was rain over their wedding ceremony, Emily and Nathan had the greatest time celebrating their love. Their smiles did not stop throughout the day. It seemed to help that all their major celebrations over the past few years were rained out so they were kind of expecting a decent fall on their wedding day!
We still got to explore Ocean View Estates and take some gorgous photos of the happy couple and their bridal party despite the rain.
The party kicked on in the stunning, huge reception building with over 100 of Emily and Nathan's family and friends. There were a tonne of laughs with a few tears as well as some shocking secrets revealed during the speeches by the bride's sister!
This awesome pair really made the most of their day and had the time of their life together and with their loved ones.
We wish you all the love in the world Emily and Nathan!

Flaxton Gardens - Sunshine Coast, Australian Wedding - Diana & Jason
Diana & Jason's wedding day was held at one of the Sunshine Coast's absolute best venues, Flaxton Gardens. The bride and groom both got ready on different floors of stunning Flaxton Manor - A luxurious way to start their day!
There was some lingering rain so the bride and groom along with the Flaxton Gardens Staff decide to hold their ceremony indoors. You really can't go wrong at Flaxton Gardens if you have your wedding ceremony inside or outside as they are both gorgeous options. The ceremony was so beautiful with watery eyes in their crowd of family and friends as well as tears filling the bride's eyes.
Diana and Jason were such a pleasure to photograph after the ceremony and family photos. This happy couple are so relaxed, good-humoured and always have an air of go-with-the-flow about them. They're a perfect match for eachother and this shone though during the entire wedding day and while we photographed their bridal party and couple portraits around the grounds of Flaxton Gardens.
We later migrated to the reception hall's epic ceilings filled with gourmet food and loads of laughter during the speeches. There were also a few moments to photograph a few extra special moments between the married couple amongst the rows of lights and a moody, magical fog.
This was one very enchanted day and we wish Diana and Jason all the love and happiness in the world!
Enjoy...

DRONE PORTRAITS: BEST OF 2017 - Sunshine Coast, Australian Wedding Photographers
Our drone, our trusty little droney, has become one of our favourite tools as wedding photographers. We get to fly above the trees, the sand, the ocean, the ceremony and take photos. In 2017 our drone work has really come into its own.
We've been able to utilise our drone photography for weddings, elopements and engagements all around the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa Heads and Noosa River, Maleny, Montville, Mapleton and all around the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Yandina, Coolum, Point Arkwright, Point Cartwright, Brisbane, The Gold Coast, Fraser Island and many more places in Queensland and Australia and even over in tropical Fiji.
The drone allows us to give the brides and grooms (and families) we work with a completely fresh and epic, aerial perspective of their wedding day. We get to document and photograph their weddings in a way like no other. The drone perspective is unique, creative, mesmerising and most definitely allows us to produce photos they will cherish forever.
Please enjoy our favourite drone photos from the year that was, 2017.
We look forward to capturing many more spectacular epic, aerial drone photos in 2018!
See you next year...
