Seven is the lucky number for this pretty pair – they were dating for seven months before Heath popped the question, and then they spent a further seven months planning their Maleny wedding. Well… Emily planned the wedding, anyway. Heath was more than happy to hand over the reigns, so the theme was left up to the soon-to-be Mrs, who themed their special day to fit with the romance and elegance of their hinterland wedding venue, House of Laurels. 

This super pretty day was full of fun and laughter, and even a set of split pants to lighten the mood – in the bridal party and no less. Fortunately, this group didn’t need to look far to find the humour in such a wedding day hitch! 

Emily and Heath shared a most wonderful day, split pants and all. Startlingly stunning images ensued from none other than Sunshine Coast wedding photographers, Artography. 

“I had both my mother and father walk me down the aisle. I loved having them both with me in that moment.“

“We absolutely loved our wedding day and how all the photographs turned out, it was such an amazing day with lots of love and laughter!”

“Our day actually went off without a hitch! However, one of heaths groomsmen did split his pants as a result from a mid air jump photo! Very funny! Luckily the whole bridal party had such a great sense of humour, it just added to our hilarious afternoon.“

“My husband and I met through my older brother, Chris… Heath broke the golden rule – don’t date your mate’s sister!”

“Photos were taken in the garden at the venue, paddocks around the venue and grass hills on mountain view road, Maleny ( backing onto the glass house mountains.)“

“Our first and biggest priority for the wedding was all about the venue: We wanted one that catered for the ceremony, reception and provided accommodation for friends and family who all had to travel for the occasion.”

“Heath happily gave me full control of themes and colour scheme.It wasn’t until after seeing how sweet the venue was, with its country elegance, vintage garden feel. I decided on the classic pale pinks and champagne colours.”

“My mother was an absolute lifesaver when it came to putting plans into actions with our wedding; the angel spent weeks collecting the final touches,ordering flowers, hand writing place cards and bagging our bomboniere lollies.”

“Music was a combination of a wedding singer ‘Chris Hutchison’ ( great covers of both new and old songs) and pre-made playlists for our best man to DJ later in the night.”
