However if you plan to enjoy your bridal bouquet for the days to come while it lasts, you should be prepared with a back up for the traditional bouquet toss. Here’s…

In a whimsical woodland themed wedding at Yandina Station, Phoebe and Lochlan were married amongst an intimate gathering of their closest family and friends. The Dairy at Yandina Station was transformed delightfully with an outdoors-in feel, featuring tree stumps, moss and roses. The whole affair was gorgeously full of floral arrangements by Twig and Grace.  And something truly special – not one, but three cakes!  //// Glowing bride, Phoebe, shares her day with us in her own words and we have the treat of some Julian Beattie photos to pour over.  “Our wedding was a surreal, magic, love-high kind of a day. We felt completely…

When your photographer turns up on your wedding day morning, you will be busily being pampered and fussed over by your makeup artist, hair stylist, bridesmaids and your mother.

Now, you could have it hanging limp and lifeless in your wardrobe… Or you could have a grand plan for the photo they will inevitably take. Look around before the time comes and find something beautiful, funky, cool and creative to do with your…

You probably remember our gorgeous and clever bride, Taryn, whose amazing vintage DIY wedding we blogged a few weeks back.

Here’s how Taryn went about it.  Taryn first tackled her old dress up box, found stashed at her Mum and Dad’s, then hounded her brothers and…

One super pretty trend to hit the wedding scene is bouquets made entirely from beads, crystals, brooches and other kinds of jewellery.

When we thought about today – Valentines Day – we thought about the ultimate romance. And who would be better qualified than to weight in on what it means to be romantic than the Sunshine Coast wedding professionals, who see more than their fair share of all things romance day in and day out. Today we decided to ask them flat out, no mucking around, a very pressing question about the topic…  What screams “romance” to you?  Jules from Julian Beattie Photography says…  “I’d say that romance is a lot like this image in certain ways. I consider romance to be the…

Almost every photographer we ever speak to says that their favourite photograph to capture at a wedding is the face of the groom when he sees his bride for the first time on his wedding day. In front of all his family and friends, he cannot hide his reaction to the beautiful sight beheld.  Whether it be tears or glee, the reaction is an emotional one that brides absolutely delight in reliving later on when they gaze upon their beautiful wedding albums. Especially the fortunate Sunshine Coast brides who have been clever enough to hire one of our amazing Sunshine…
