Today's photo of the week is something a little bit different. We love this sweet silhouette scene from a Sunshine Coast beach wedding. It was taken by the talented Shell Bells Photography. Enjoy!    

It’s the Sunshine Coast, beautiful one day, perfect the next. No wonder so many brides have their heart set on being married here on one of our many beautiful beaches or in one of our stunning National Parks. The beaches are free and belong to us all, but when it comes to your wedding ceremony, it’s imperative you get a permit. Of course you could not obtain a permit, just turn up on the day and hope for the best, but what if another bridal party turned up with a permit at the exact same time? Could end up a…

The wonderful thing about having a 3:00pm beach wedding on the Sunshine Coast is that come sunset, you're in the throes of having your bridal party photos. There is just nothing more beautiful than a lovely loved up couple on their wedding day with a sunset backdrop. What a memory to have forever! We fell in love with this photograph for the beauty of the couple and the sunset with the contrast of the cute dinghies on the beach and the Duporth Ave skyline. Not only this, it was also taken by one of our favourite photographers, Eliza Addision. This…

Working with some of the best local wedding suppliers, we created some absolutely amazing styled wedding shoots for our first online magazine. Our idea of having a bohemian beach wedding photo shoot was embraced by the Sunshine Coast wedding professionals we chose to be a part of this particular shoot, and wow did they do an absolutely incredible job! The styling, fashion, flowers and beauty were possibly even better than we had originally imagined. As we predicted, we ended up completely spoiled for choice with the images. Shane Shepherd Photography really outdid himself with this one, and we just couldn't…

Do you remember a little while ago we posted the world’s most awesome wedding invitation? To jog your memory, it was a stop motion clip set to Halls & Oats’ You Make My Dreams, featuring today’s Sunshine Coast real wedding couple, Bronnie and Sam. This gorgeous young couple were engaged for six months after having been together for almost three years following an introduction by a mutual friend at a coffee shop, and then Bronwyn started attending Sam’s church. I genuinely have not seen a more sweet couple in all my time, and when you see their wedding photos below,…

The best part of this photo is the expression you can just make out on the faces of each and every person in the bridal party. They are clearly just so happy for their dear friends. We also absolutely love the classic black suits and the amazing bridal gown on this Sunshine Coast bride.  This fortunate couple had a beautiful day for their Noosa Springs wedding, and they had every moment captured by Craig of Brock Photography, a very sought after Sunshine Coast wedding photographer. In this wedding album, it was hard to choose a favourite as Craig does such a…

Our Film of the Week is by Sunshine Coast wedding cinematographer, Luke, of Playback Films. It's a beautiful highlights film of a wedding he filmed up in Port Douglas. It tells the very emotional story of Elvis and Shayna, who have written possibly the most beautiful personal vows we have heard, and had The Bride's Tree team watching with a glisten in our eyes indeed! Elvis is a UFC champion fighter, but while he probably looks super tough in the ring, all we see here in this video is a beautiful man, who wears his heart on his sleeve. A…

  Sunshine Coast bride Yolanda and her now husband, Sam Rangihuna, found themselves in the midst of a reality TV show at their Marcoola wedding last year. The pair were married at Surfair, Marcoola, in front of their 65 guests, plus three other brides, and a Channel Seven film crew as they were contestants on Four Weddings, playing for a five-star fantasy honeymoon.   If you haven’t seen the show, basically four brides-to-be, who don’t know each other, attend each others’ weddings and rate them out of five in several different areas. The wedding with the most points wins. It’s…

Talent comes in spades for this Sunshine Coast wedding photographer. Tanya Chesterton Smith has been photographing weddings for over ten years, and looking at her beautiful photos it is evident she has not lost an ounce of enthusiasm for her job. If you ever get the chance to meet her, you will see the love for what she does in her eyes, and feel the genuine warmth and caring for the people whose day she is a part of.  All of Tanya's work is amazing, but I'm sharing this particular photo with you as photo of the week, because the…
