Dan and Melika travelled all the way from London to have their wedding day in Queensland, Australia… in the rain! Who would believe it! However, they never let it dampen their day for a moment, even saying the rain added a certain touch of magic to their special day.  Wanting to give their international guests a unique wedding to remember, they chose cattle station wedding venue, Yandina Station to hold their beautiful wedding for 101 guests. Yandina Station is beautifully maintained with luxury cottage accommodation, but also has a rad rustic old barn to hold wedding receptions in. This really…

Aw… we just love this beautiful moment between this gorgeous newly married couple! Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Mark Raynor of Tailored Photography, is responsible for this absolutely lovely image. It’s a wonderful wedding photographer, who can make his subjects feel so completely comfortable, that they will let their guard down and enjoy their own little moment like this. Love!  Happy Saturday, beautiful Sunshine Coast brides and grooms! 

In any profession, you are only as good as the risks you take and the new things you try. Without a little bit of fear of what you’re doing, you can’t move forward. And so it was with the slightest bit of trepidation Shawn from Sabra Creative Photography took a swing at creating a stop motion clip for one of her fabulous bridal couples as their engagement shoot.  Stop motion is where you take a stack of photographs of one event and stitch them together to create a film-like presentation. Never having done this before, Shawn picked a couple of good-looking…

Gorgeous local Sunshine Coast couple, Chloe and Troy, said their I Do’s in a beautiful Point Cartwright wedding on a stunning day, so typical of this area.

Just too many reasons why this is today’s Photo of the Week, and none more than the fact that it has come from…

Nina and John enjoyed perfect weather for their Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding at gorgeous wedding venue, Flaxton Gardens.

One super pretty trend to hit the wedding scene is bouquets made entirely from beads, crystals, brooches and other kinds of jewellery. Ultra glam, the beauty of these jewellery bouquets is unlike their flower counterparts, of course they do not wilt!  This beautiful little morsel is complemented with royal blue silk flowers and tied with a gorgeous ivory ribbon, pinned with a sapphire rhinestone. Gorgeous bride, Taryn (whose DIY styling we recently featured), ordered her brooch bridal bouquet online at Etsy store, Noaki Jewelry. Their customisable bouquets are carefully constructed with each little gem and brooch wired in to make…

When we thought about today – Valentines Day – we thought about the ultimate romance. And who would be better qualified than to weight in on what it means to be romantic than the Sunshine Coast wedding professionals, who see more than their fair share of all things romance day in and day out. Today we decided to ask them flat out, no mucking around, a very pressing question about the topic…  What screams “romance” to you?  Jules from Julian Beattie Photography says…  “I’d say that romance is a lot like this image in certain ways. I consider romance to be the…

When thinking about Valentine's Day, one immediately thinks of being in love. However, it's really not a day about love. Stay with me… See, in my humble opinion, every day should be completely infused with love. You should bask in love every single days in big ways and small. Valentine's Day is really about romance. The gestures, the recognition that you are looking directly at the one person that you adore above all others, and will go that extra mile for. Sure, it might be an overly commercialised consumer-driven non-holiday, but it's a bit of fun and it's an opportunity…
