Linda and Andrew fell in love with Fraser Island as soon as they set foot on it and knew instantly Kingfisher Bay Resort would be the venue for their wedding.
After becoming friends many years ago they lost touch with each other. Finally years later, they rekindled their friendship which quickly became a love that rapidly blossomed. The connection between this awesome bride and groom is undeniable and absolutely meant to be. They laugh and joke together constantly and make the most of every single moment they have with each other.
Their wedding was not just a celebration of their epic love but also a uniting of their families and gorgeous children. Andrew's family flew all the way from Canada to witness this wonderful duo from Brisbane tie the knot on Sunset Beach at Fraser Island.
We explored the stunning, natural surroundings of Kingfisher Bay Resort for some couple portraits, finishing with drone shots of their beloved red Jag on the pier. We have just 5 words for Linda the gorgeous bride, "Easy, breezy, beautiful, cover girl."
The bride and groom's reception was marked by a heartfelt speech that could not be completed by Andrew as emotion overtook him while trying to thank his son AJ. Their first dance was surrounded by bubbles Linda's daughter was blowing onto the dance floor - so cute! This was followed by some energetic dance moves by all who joined the bride and groom on the dance floor.
Linda & Andrew's wedding really was a perfect reflection of themselves- fun, relaxed, a-laugh-a-minute and family focused.
We wish you all the happiness possible Andrew and Linda!
Enjoy...

Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island Destination Wedding - Jennifer & Brenten (Sunshine Coast Photographers)
The rain cleared just in time for this lovely bride and groom's Fraser Island destination wedding at Kingfisher Bay Resort.
Jenny and Brenten regularly camp at Fraser Island with their friends so this was the perfect choice for their wedding day. Brenten and his groomsmen enjoyed some fishing off the pier while Jenny and her bridesmaids were getting their hair and makeup done.
The bride and groom's ceremony was so serene and absolutely beautiful. The love in Brenten's eyes for his bride was so special to witness and to photograph for them to keep forever.
The bridal party and I took off into the Fraser Island bushland for some photos before taking just the bride and groom along the beach for some couple portraits. We then hit the pier for a few drone photos followed by some stunning sunset images. Jenny and Brenten were treated to an awesome romantic sunset for the very first evening as a married couple.
Celebrations kicked on in the dingo den with speeches, a wedding buffet, cake cutting and a gorgeous moonlit first dance. Once this rad bunch got to dancing on the first dance floor they all showed their twirling skills off. I've never photographed a wedding where so many twirls occurred within such a short space of time - it must have been a guinness world record... surely! Love your work family and friends - and of course the bride and groom!
I wish you a lifetime of absolute love and happiness Jenny and Brenten :)
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...

Our Favourite Wedding Photos of 2016 - The Sunshine Coast & Beyond!
2016 has been a HUGE year of wedding photography for us! We've explored some gorgeous cities, venues and properties for the weddings we photographed from Fraser Island & Stradbroke Island to The Sunshine Coast to Brisbane, Toowoomba, The Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Bangalow and beyond.
The love stories we have witnessed between the couples we've worked with have been nothing short of uplifting, moving, gut-wrenching and inspiring.
Mikala and I often say to each other after finishing a wedding that we feel like part of the bride's and groom's families - creepy but true :) We always get swept up in the relationships and emotions of what is one of the absolute most important days of their lives.
We really have met, worked and bonded with some extraordinarily loving souls this year. If we happen to bump into any of you (brides and grooms) post wedding, we're not stalking you just because we miss you and want to hang out with you some more - promise :)
The happiest of new years and a prosperous 2017 to all of you and to the amazing duo's we framed throughout 2016 in our camera lenses. Keep on loving each other just like the day you were married and we'll see some of you when we're the photographers at your friend's weddings soon!
Enjoy the year that was...
