Real Wedding: Claudette + Joshua in Maleny

Beautiful Claudette married her love, Josh, in a pretty-as-a-picture relaxed family-focused wedding at Maleny Botanic Gardens.  The couple enlisted the help of wedding planners and decorators, Coast to Country Weddings and Events to help assure everything went off without a hitch and they got the day they dreamt of with children playing, families uniting and lots of delicious Filipino food to satisfy their 90 guests.  Images by Dominic Gutierrez  “First priority was to ask for parents’ blessing.

Engaged: Casey + Andrew on Emu Mountain

22nd June 2015

Recently we published a very lovely engagement shoot atop Mount Coolum with amazing views. Another local mountain that makes a delightful setting for an engagement shoot is Emu Mountain, which resides between Coolum and Peregian. It’s an easy trek and is abundant with unruly prettiness all along the way.  Casey and Andrew live in Toowoomba, but their love of the Ocean draws them to the Sunshine Coast frequently. Andrew proposed to Casey on a visit to Coolum, and so they planned their wedding here. It made sense to have a memorable engagement shoot in their favourite place, too. Their photographer,…

There is nothing conventional about florist Catherine of Woods & Bloom. Her floral concepts come from a creative place most of us have not been granted access to. She is truly in a league of her own when it comes to wedding flowers.  This is one of those times when I audibly “squee!” at the realisation that this genius lives and works right here on the Sunshine Coast. We are so spoilt in this beautiful bit of Earth!  Take a squizz through Woods & Bloom’s pinboard full of amazing wedding floral arrangements from show-stopping head pieces to breathtaking bouquets and…
