Real Wedding: Meagan & Will at Clio’s

1st August 2013

  Meagan and Will were married in May of 2011, on what they describe as being an absolutely perfect day, both weather-wise and in terms of everything running smoothly. A dream come true for Meagan, who only wanted to be able to enjoy her big day without the worry of things going awry. How did she pull it off? 16 months of careful planning, my friends. Their classic romantic theme with roses, and pearls and lace detail, is a lesson in elegance and timelessness. But of course this is no typical couple – as you will see in the absolutely…

Have a Royal Wedding

28th July 2013

Purple is a rich colour. I mean, it’s the colour of royalty for sobbing out loud. Can you even get more rich than that? No, you cannot. Okay, technically you can, but this is not the point I’m making today. It’s not only rich, but also a feminine colour and could be perfect for your Sunshine Coast wedding if you’re after something pretty, but would like to steer clear of pink. And it’s a dreamy warming colour for a winter wedding. The good thing about purple is you can use it in so many ways when it comes to the…

Engaged: Jonny & Liisa in Montville

After having had family photos taken with their two young children last year by Renee Towers Photography, upon getting engaged Jonny and Liisa thought of but one person to shoot their engagement shoot and wedding. As a family, they enjoy picnics in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and so this was the obvious choice for setting for their shoot. As young parents, taking some time out for themselves with a photo shoot was a beautiful way to celebrate their love and engagement. They started at the park, then nearby they found some funky rustic sheds and got all funky about things…
