There is nothing not beautiful about this photo. It embodies everything that romance is.    As we are all about love and romance this week in the lead up to Valentines Day, we couldn't go past this seriously amazing photo by Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Emma Nayler. Hang on – we're a wedding website. A website ALL ABOUT WEDDINGS. We're always all about love and romance!  This sunset is nothing short of stunning, andd the fields. Oh, the fields! And the blissful, loved up expression on the bride's face as she kisses her new husband. Even with her eyes…

This is the true story of Kelly and Matt.  Kelly and Matt worked in the same building. They would see each other around the office from time to time, and Kelly always thought Matt seemed like a nice guy. Very gradually, they would bump into each other more frequently. Their conversations started becoming of a more personal nature, and Kelly told Matt where she liked to walk her dog on a Saturday afternoon. This was his in. Matt took the opportunity, and said he also walked his dog at the same beach… (his non-existent dog, that is)… And maybe they…

There is no more romantic a Sunshine Coast wedding location than Maleny. So this week, as we are getting our Valentine on in the lead up to Valentine’s Day, we had to share this very romantically-themed wedding with you, which was held at Malcolm’s of Maleny with stunning views of the majestic Glass House Mountains. Richard and Melissa met as young whippersnappers, working together at McDonald’s.  Well after all, they do say a lot of marriages are the result of workplace romances! Nine years later, they had a September wedding in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Melissa was certain of one…

It's the most romantic day of the year next week! Of course, being big fans of romance here at The Bride's Tree (you never would have guessed that, right?), we are like little kids on Christmas Eve. Especially as we get to play Valentines-Day-Santa! Or would that be some kind of Cupid-Santa hybrid?  So what is it we are going to give to one lucky engaged couple? Why, what every engaged couple needs, of course – a location engagement photo session with the very talented, Lani Carter Photographer. A little something like this one with the lovely Toni and Lyall…

Imagine if you were a professional wedding planner and you got engaged. How simple would it be to plan your own wedding, right? Wrong. Just like all brides, Lisa Clayton, professional wedding planner and business owner of First Class Weddings and Events, is having all the same headaches and heartaches ("I love it, but it won't fit in my budget!")  As Lisa discovered her own wedding was no more simple, and in fact the polar opposite – much more tricky to plan, she decided to blog her way through the process. Each week, she will be posting helpful hints and…

There are all kinds of memorable moments to be had on your wedding day. The moment you step into that dress, the moment you walk down the aisle to your groom, the moment you say, "I Do"… and so on. But it's so important to make sure you get a quiet, genuine moment with your new husband.  I think this is just what Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Bec from Sunshine Photography, has captured here. This image feels quite voyeuristic, as this lovely couple share their genuine moment together. You can feel the contentment and love, just relaxing and laying out…

We could think of nothing more fun than ending the week with The Spotlight on none other than Bill Scurry, Celebrant.

Once your wedding day is over, what will you be left with? A dress you'll never wear again, maybe some leftover cake, some presents you love, some you… ahem, maybe find confusing/interesting/down-right odd, your memories of the day… and your photos and video.  As fast as your wedding day goes is just how fast you will start to forget the little details of your day. How amazing to have beautiful photos and film to look at and watch time and time again over the coming years. I'm sure Jessica and Darren will cherish their wedding day film by Velocity Images,…

Nothing says true love like a day at a carnival with stuffed animals, ferris wheels, freaky mirrors, lock-jawed clowns and sugary treats, right? I mean if we have learnt nothing else from movies, we have surely come to know this to be true.  Laura and Zane sure do love each other, and they sure do have a blast in each others' presence. This fun pair enlisted the help of Julian Beattie to photograph a truly unique engagement session at Aussie World, Palmview, the closest you'll ever come to a permanent carnival on the Sunshine Coast.  Having an engagement photo shoot…
