Now here is a unique idea for you. Once you are married, why not do a “trash the dress” style photo shoot with a difference and go underwater!  //// Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Alan Hughes, convinced newlywed couple, Elisha and Stephen, to take a leap of faith and go below for their post-honeymoon photo shoot. I bet they are not sorry he did, these photos are nothing short of incredibe!  We love the way Elisha’s dress flows in the water, and they have somehow managed to create an incredibly romantic set of images. I’m sure not all of us could…

Not wanting all the fuss and time-consuming planning of a traditional wedding, Tegan and Emmanuel decided to turn their engagement party into a surprise wedding for their 100 guests at the expansive Maleny Retreat. The 100-acre property has plenty of accommodation and even additional camping grounds, so they made a full weekend of it and had a fabulous fun fair wedding day with their nearest and dearest.  Marion Jonkers caught all the festivities on camera.  Surprise Wedding We didn’t want a bridal party, boring speeches, the excessive planning and decorating that is the usual expectation.

Natalie and Orren broke tradition in so many ways for their Cotton Tree wedding. They had a very non-traditional, yet ever-growing in popularity “first look”, whereby the bride and groom have a very private and intimate meeting prior to their ceremony.  They also took their bridal party photos before the ceremony, forewent a theme, invited children, and provided a picnic for the guests upon arrival. I love the way this couple took every measure to ensure their guests had an amazing day with very thoughtful considerations.  Chloe from White Images caught the entire beautiful affair on camera. Take a peek! …
