If you want to see a wedding with details, boy have I got a treat for you! The gorgeous wedding of Sam and Rick was nothing if not carefully planned down to the last tea light candle. When planning their wedding, Sam and Rick thought back to the night they met at the Ivy Bar in Sydney. This chance meeting resulting in their union as husband and wife deserved to be paid homage, plus it was just a really cool theme idea, so the pair recreated their own Ivy Bar right here on the Sunshine Coast! Their 100 guests gathered…

This Noosa wedding photo is really unique and lovely. Of course it's by one of our favourite Sunshine Coast wedding photographers, Alan Hughes. The building itself with the old school ice-cream stand striped awning sets a great scene for the intimate kiss between the newlyweds. And if the cute couple aren't enough to put a smile on your face, there's always the reminder that ice-cream makes you happy! Now, if you would like to meet the taker of this pretty picture here, you simply must pop along to the It's My Wedding Expo at Maroochy RSL tomorrow from 10:00am to…

WIN more It's My Wedding passes today (see bottom of this post), but first, a special treat…    Guest Blog by  Sunshine Coast celebrant, Fiona Roberts of Celebrate with Fiona   You may wonder why a Celebrant would be talking about colour – but it is important that they be made aware of your chosen colour scheme, so that they may respect your choice and blend with your bridal party. Imagine if you had chosen a red and white theme and your Celebrant turned up wearing bright green!   I’ve seen some truly wonderful colour combinations lately, including an amazing…

There is something about paper. And paper in the form of beautifully designed wedding stationery is of course the best kind. Which is why I have drooled over these gorgeous wedding stationery designs by Kerrie-Anne Design and Photography since our styled shoot for the first edition of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine. We were super lucky to have the talents of Kerrie-Anne Bennett on board for our One Dress Three Ways styled shoot, which took place at Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding chapel, Anna Bella The Wedding Chapel in pretty Ilkey. The photo shoot was a stack of fun, with a…

When we put together our first edition of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine, we were absolutely floored when we saw all of the amazing photos Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Shane Shepherd, produced from our Bohemian Beach Wedding styled shoot. It was a real pain, actually, and resulted in much heartache. Quite inconsiderate of him, really. I mean, did he not foresee us agonising over which would make the pages of the magazine?! We absolutely would have doubled the size of the magazine if we could have in order to fit in all the images, but instead we breathed a…

Doesn't this look like a fun bunch? What a fabulous moment to capture! This bridal party are quite clearly having the time of their lives, and Karen Buckle, awesome Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, was right amongst all the action.  What do we love about this picture? Mostly the joyous moment in time that will never happen again, but will forever be remembered now. Also, the lush green with the pop of pink colour in the bridesmaids' dresses, and the spectacular chandelier. Who doesn't love a chandelier hanging in a tree at a wedding? Simply divine! 

This is why brides and grooms have sunset photos. Right here, this is the very embodiment of the reason. Holy spectacular rainbow sky! This image by Shawn of Sabra Creative is just so stunning, we can't stop looking at it. It's nothing short of astonishing, it really is. Sunshine Coast brides are so lucky to have these drop dead gorgeous surroundings! The pink of the sky, and the gorgeous purple reflection from the clouds and that hint of blue coming through and those tips of the clouds bright coral, as if on fire… to die for! The bride and groom themselves look…

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…

Mark Rayner, of Tailored Photography is the best kind of dad. He would do anything for his little girl. So of course for her wedding day, he put his special talent of wedding photography into practice and gave her an extra special day.  Mark's daughter, Jess, wanted to share with us what it was like to have her very own fantastic Sunshine Coast wedding photographer Dad there for her in an extra special way on her wedding day at Kings Beach. And of course we have some of Mark's beautiful photos of his beautiful daughter's Caloundra wedding to share, too! …
