Photo of the Week

2nd August 2012

The best wedding albums include photos just like this beautiful one by Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding photographer, Artography. It is raw emotion. It is joy! The pure delight on the faces of this Sunshine Coast bride and her elderly relative in this exchange is just one moment in her special day, but I’m darn sure it’s one she is so incredibly thrilled is here to keep forever. Artography is a family run business, located in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and we were fortunate to work with one of their talented photographers on our Bridal Boudoir photo shoot. Their stunning photos at Maleny…

Look at these awesome little dudes! If this pair don’t kick start you to have a super Saturday, I just don’t know what will. Seriously, just – look at them! This moment in time was captured by the brilliant Karen Buckle Photography, whose work we love and adore with all our little hearts. As a top Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Karen would be lucky enough to happen upon gorgeous little people like this all the time at weddings. Now, I know that many people like to have a child-free wedding, allow the parents to kick back and enjoy the party, and…

Wedding Day Do-Over

8th July 2012

When rain poured on Katie and Tim's Sunshine Coast wedding day, they still had confident, beautiful smiles on their faces. They knew it was no big deal to them at all. Their wet weather plan came into play, but of course they missed out on all of the lovely outdoor wedding party photos they had planned. However, they still were not concerned in the least. Why? Because they had a backup plan for those, too. Their amazing Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Emma Nayler Photographer, made them a promise – as she does with all her brides – that if weather…

Spring Races Wedding Styling

2nd July 2012

When thinking of a theme for your wedding, it doesn't all have to be about the colours and the bombonieres, and how you will decorate the joint up. You can also have your guests get involved and bring a bit of the styling on their person. No, I'm not suggesting you do an all-white party wedding, Jay-Z or P.Diddy-style (or whoever it is, who hosts these ludacris events.) Personally, I think limiting your entire guest list to wearing but one colour is a bit over-the-top and potentially stressful for them. You could, however, ask them to get into the spirit of…

I really adore a man in a black skinny tie. There is something classic, romantic and ultra stylish about the black suit, crisp white shirt and the simplicity of the black skinny tie. I think with weddings, it's particularly lovely, because the black compliments the white of the wedding dress and allows the bride to shine. And boy, does this bride shine in her tulle skirt of her wedding dress! Love it! To me, this photo is a real celebration. The groom is ecstatic with his beautiful bride, the bride herself is blissfully satisfied and at peace with her new…

There's something happening in this photo. That's without a doubt! I just LOVE this image, with all the fun the bridesmaids are having, it just makes you want to be there with all the girls having a blast on a special Sunshine Coast wedding day. Everybody loves fun in a luxury vehicle for a special occasion, and these gals are no different. Lucky Matt Rowe Photography was there with his keen eye for an awesome shot like this one with the reflection of those happy faces in the sunroof. Amazing!

Pomona Catholic Church wedding

29th April 2012

Sophia and Tim have been madly in love for ten years, and consider themselves best friends. They were married in a sweet little catholic church – St. Patricks Catholic Church in Pomona – and held their prettily styled wedding reception for 105 guests at Sails Restaurant in Noosa. When planning their nuptials, Sophia had a bit of trouble narrowing down her many ideas into a styled theme that was both what she wanted and simplified enough to work. Her mother was the saviour there, helping to get things on track. The concept ended up being clean, crisp white with pops…

The instant I saw this image by Chesterton Smith Photography, I knew I wanted to share it with you all. I absolutely love this moment! The beautiful bride is just so happy, and you can tell at a glimpse something is going on here. Upon further investigation, I uncovered the story behind this photo. (Well… okay, I sent photographer Tanya Chesterton a Facebook message and she told me…) See, the bride, Chrystal, desperately wanted to hold her wedding ceremony overlooking her parents' Flaxton property in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It wasn't looking good with rain all morning. However, right before…
