Photo of the Week

14th December 2012

Special moments shared on a Sunshine Coast wedding day. That's what we love more than anything! Seriously, more than the pretty decorations, the food, the gifts, that amazing dress you will undoubtedly wear, the most treasured moments will be those that happen spontaneously. Without planning or practicing. That's why we love, love, BIG love photographers like Jennifer Oliphant, who make sure they capture those moments that will forever be remembered.  In years to come, Kaye and Jonathon will be able to share with their family exactly what it was that cracked them up right after they said their I Dos,…

Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Terri Hanlon, takes some seriously pretty pictures. We love her airy light look and feel to her wedding photography, with a focus on amazing light and making beautiful brides look even more amazing.  The other thing we love about Terri Hanlon is the light that comes from within, shining out to all she meets! Her happy disposition and laid back demeanor make for relaxed brides and grooms, and therefore beautiful images like the ones you will find in Terri's gallery of images.

It may have been raining in Yandina, but this couple's spirits were far from dampened. Just look at the beautiful happiness upon their faces. We adore this couple. He is a chivalrous lad holding the umbrealla for his bride. However, she's no shrinking violet – here she is hiking up her dress and getting on with it! Puddles be gone!  Matt Rowe Photography is responsible for today's Photo of the Week, a beautiful black and white wedding photo from a Yandina wedding. Love!

5th December 2012

Budget is at the forefront of every bride's mind from the very beginning. You get that ring on your finger and dollar signs start buzzing around in your head, as you wonder where you will find the best deals, who can help you achieve your amazing day without breaking the bank, and just how your budget will stretch to make your dream Sunshine Coast wedding a reality. We asked one saavy budget-conscious bride how she managed to (mostly) stick to her budget for her Noosa River wedding. Here is Sarah's story in her own words.  My Wedding Day Our wedding…

Love and laughter. It's all you need on your wedding day to end up with beautiful photos like this one by awesome Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Alan Hughes. Hey, let's face it, it's all you need on your wedding day. Period.  I adore this moment between this couple so very much, it's simply what love should be. It's what a marriage should be – two people connected by something understood only by them. The rest of us are in the dark as to what is transpiring between the two in this moment, but you can see that in each other's…

Get the Look: Mexican Wedding Fiesta!

12th November 2012

There is no denying our Mexican Wedding Fiesta in October 2012 volume of The Bride's Tree magazine is (and forgive the cliche) a feast for the eyes. It is positively delicious in every way. The use of rich colour and glamour against the relaxed rustic setting of Yandina Station is to die for. Yesterday we shared with you some of the many, many photographs by Adori Studios that we couldn't fit in the pages of our free online bridal magazine. Yesterday was all about the styling, while today it's all about the look. Our gorgeous models Francesca and G sure make this unique Mexican…

Mexican Wedding Fiesta Styling

11th November 2012

When we decided to put together a Mexican Wedding Fiesta for the latest issue of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine, we knew we would end up positively toothsome details to oggle. Especially once we signed on Splash Events to style the shoot. Holy guacamole, they did an incredible job! No detail too small, Nicole from Splash Events went above and beyond to deliver something truly unique and delicious in every way.  Complementing the styling was of course the most gahmayzing florals from none other than the incomparable Blooms of Noosa, who always put together something that blows us…

Yellow and Blue-grey Wedding Colour Palette

4th November 2012

Wedding prettiness comes in many different forms, and sometimes in an interesting colour palette. I am totally loving sick the colour combination in this wedding. Tones of yellow and blue-grey work in the most splendid way for a wedding colour theme. The pretty bright yellow flowers, lemon bridesmaid dresses, matched with the groom and groomsmens' suits go together like peas and carrots, and create a perfect mix of feminine and masculine. The yellow and blue wedding theme works perfectly for a Sunshine Coast beach wedding, as you will see in the stunningly gorgeous photographs below. Photos which of course can only be…

30th October 2012

During the week, this photograph absolutely went viral. Within minutes of being put up on Facebook, it had over 1000 Likes! It is plain to see why – it's awesome! If you have ever tried to take a photo of fireworks, a fire show, or sparklers like these, you will know it's really a job for the seasoned professionals, like Emma Nayler Photographer, who captured this little beauty.  Photo of the Week? Perhaps even photo of the year!

Photo of the Week

19th October 2012

This photograph says a lot. Mostly how this whole day is about this very moment. The moment a woman puts a ring on a man's finger and becomes his wife. She gains a life partner, her biggest supporter, her bravest warrior by her side forever. Every day she gets to look into the eyes of the man who proposed they should join forces to meet the world together. She knows she gets to have a sleep over with her best friend every night, and she takes on his dreams and goals.   He puts a similar ring on her finger, and…
