Spotlight on a Supplier: Jennifer Oliphant Photographer

21st January 2013

  When thinking of some of the loveliest, most talented wedding photographers on the Sunshine Coast, one name is always sure to pop up – Jennifer Oliphant Photographer.

Set atop a hilly knoll, with arguably the best view in Maleny, spanning the magestic Glass House Mountains. We have seen many a wedding day photograph of many a lucky couple wed in the Sunshine Coast hinterland region, however we are quite certain we have never seen one like this by Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Velocity Images. We love this unique perspective! If you love it too, you simply must make a point of visiting Ben at the Sunshine Coast Bridal Showcase…
