The two may conveniently compliment each other with commonality, such as Chris’s love of desserts and Vicki’s love of baking, but it’s their faith that really make their relationship work, they say. They also credit good communication as one of the most important ways they make their relationship work – sharing the good, as well as the not-so-good thoughts and feelings is key, they say. Their Sunshine Coast…

Bohemian Beach Wedding Reception

13th May 2012

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…
