One Tree Hill, as it is unofficially named, is iconic of Maleny, particularly in relation to wedding photography. 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…

  Sunshine Coast brides! We have a date for you to pen into your diary. Notice we said pen, not pencil, because there will be no erasing of this little beauty, that's for dang sure. The date is September 8, and the event is… wait for it…. the Sunshine Coast's first vintage events fair! Ahhhhh! (That was our angels noise, hallejulah-style.) We are SO excited about this event.

Red Letter Studio have access to both an amazing selection of every which kind of marquee…

Firstly, it’s located up in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland, which is a truly romantic place to be married. Secondly, the Chalets has accommodation, several gorgeous ceremony settings to choose from, countless spots for pretty bridal party photo opportunities, and catering…
