The best of both worlds – a chapel wedding in the country, followed by gorgeous Noosa beach bridal party photos at Little Cove, and a marquee reception at a private Noosa residence. I have to say, that sounds really quite a perfect wedding day!  Emma and Jacob planned a gorgeous affair from top to bottom, with stacks of DIY details and a country feel that we are just mad for. Raving mad to be precise. Their ceremony took place at AnnaBella, The Wedding Chapel, in Ilkley after a 12-month engagement, during which family and friends pitched in to help make…

Life on the Big Screen – Celeste & Cam’s Short Film from sunshinecoastvideo on Vimeo. Finishing off Friday with film is fabulous! Plus, who doesn’t like a little aliteration, right? What else would I have done if I didn’t have a fantastic film to share? I just don’t know, so I’m sure I can’t expect you to.  Look, I’m going to stop. And let you enjoy this film from Sunshine Coast Videography, that includes some of my favourite kind of prose – the rhyming kind – and features one of my all-time favourite ceremony venues, AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel. Have…

For our first free online bridal magazine, we shot three very different vintage style using just one dress off the rack from Angels Noosa and one location – Anna Bella The Wedding Chapel. The first was our Vintage Garden Picnic Wedding, featuring sweet vintage bottle chandeliers and picnic table, the second was a striking Spring Races Wedding theme, which included a triad of bright colours and antique riding crop and horse shoes. I’m a little bit biased when it comes to this last one, as it really is my fave, so I think we saved the best till last. Today we are…

Judy Steward, who dreamt up, designed, built and now runs Anna Bella The Wedding Chapel in Ilkley had the distinct honour of hosting her own son’s wedding at her beautiful chapel recently! Their gorgeous nuptials included their very new 2-month-old bundle of joy, who was suitably doted on throughout the affair by all three of her grandparents. //// The chapel wedding ceremony was followed with bridal party photos on the farm property and dam, then  a catered marquee reception with consumate style, as planned and executed by Wholehearted Studio.  Their dreamy day was captured by First Class Wedding Photography. The Happy Couple…

Anna Bella The Wedding Chapel is one of the prettiest places around. The chapel itself is gorgeous, with restored vintage pews, antique French wrought iron doors, antique Chinese altar and incredible light streaming through the high glass windows. Then there is the beautiful sprawling grounds…  Oh look, just see the pretty for yourself in this gallery of images. The sample below are photos taken by Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Aaron Shum, of Wholehearted Studio Photography + Styling. 

Happy Monday, brides! What a wonderful week to be planning a wedding. We thought we might kick it off with a little treat of the leftover variety. These gorgeous images by Emma Nayler Photographer of our Garden Picnic styled shoot were not all able to fit in our first edition of The Bride's Tree free online magazine, which came out in April. When you have something this delicious in your mitts, you sure want to share it around, so enjoy this little taste from our One Dress, Three Ways shoot at AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel. It was a gorgeous location,…
