In search of a more accessible, yet equally secluded-feeling, option than Granite Bay for their wedding ceremony, Kirilee and Mike happened upon a sandbar in Noosa. Their 75 guests made a short boat ride to join the couple for their memorable moment. 

Todd Hunter McGaw was also there the photograph the whole gorgeous affair. “I would have to say being in Western Australia I had to trust reviews a lot as I couldn’t go and see suppliers so I actually used The Bride’s Tree for (finding) the majority of our suppliers.”

 “The ceremony location was quite special to us, it was always going to be on a beach. Granite Bay is where we went for our first date and where Mike purposed. Granite Bay was a little too far for guests to walk, but we wanted the same feeling of a secluded beach and, well, what better place than your own sandbar.”

 “For the wedding we had friends and family from everywhere, living in Karratha you meet a lot of people from around the world and we were so blessed that friends flew from WA, even some that had since left Karratha flew from North Queensland and New South Wales, and of course all our friends and family from all over Queensland were there too.”

“I think because we both weren’t looking for a relationship when we met we were ourselves and honest – bluntly honest – which now in is our greatest strength.”

 “‘Let the adventure being’ was on everything. It was always going to be a beach wedding rain, hail or shine.”

“The driftwood came from my grandma’s farm out west. My mum grew half of the succulents used in the centre pieces, my dad built all of the wooden signs – I designed them and Mike and I then painted them.”
