Ah, another beautiful Noosa Wedding. Brie and Will chose this exquisite part of the world for their nuptials because it holds a special place in their hearts, being the place they had their first weekend away together.

The happy couple spent one year planning their wedding to perfection. It was a project they thoroughly enjoyed planning together, and agreed on absolutely everything. 

Brie was inspired by the fairy lights in the trees on Hastings Street, and incorporated this into the wedding styling. Images by the lovely and talented Kristy from  A Look Photography

Photo Booth Fun

We hired a photo booth where we asked all of the guests to make the most so ensure we captured photos of all our guests who shared our special day. 

The Couple Who Plans Together… 

All of my ideas were bounced off Will first to see what he liked. Will and I are very similar, which helped, so we agreed to each other ideas really quickly.  Will and I planned the wedding together… Between the footy! Will and I paid for our whole wedding.  We refused to ask our families for money as it’s an expense in which we decided upon and we planned a wedding accordingly to our budget.

Wedding Party Gifts

I personalised letters made from our wedding decorations to my girls, I placed them into a box tied up with ribbon along with their jewellery, shoes and dressing gowns. Will bought the boys all cufflinks which he had engraved. 

The Happy Couple

Will was my Brother in law’s good friend.  My sister and he set us up by arranging BBQs and get together where we were both invited.  Will and I soon caught on to what they were doing but by then we were already head over heels.We talk all the time. We are each other’s best friend and there are never any secrets between us.  And we trust each other completely in every way.

Rememberance

My nan who passed always had a chandelier in my “princess room”. Sadly Nan passed a few years ago but I have always had chandeliers in my home since and I wanted her to be a part of my day.

For transportation, the couple hooned around town in awesome hired red and yellow Mustangs, first to their ceremony at Ravenwood Park, Noosa Sound, and then on to their reception at Trio’s On The River at Noosa Marina.

When planning their wedding, Larissa and Lewis placed their highest level of importance on finding the right photographer. They wanted to be able to look back and relive their magical day for years to come with beautiful images that told their story. They couldn’t be happier with the result in these amazing photos by Level Eleven Photography.

“My mum was amazing, without her there wouldn't have been a wedding!”

 "We met through a mutual friend. It's funny we lived in Noosa for our whole lives, had mutual friends, even went to the same school, but never met!"

“At Trio’s we were able to have a formal area for dinner and speeches then an amazing area for dancing and celebrations.”

A Word of Advice From the Bride

“Slow down, enjoy and remember if something doesn't go according to plan on the day it’s okay, you’re most likely the only one that's going to know about it!”
