Photo of the Week

14th December 2012

Special moments shared on a Sunshine Coast wedding day. That's what we love more than anything! Seriously, more than the pretty decorations, the food, the gifts, that amazing dress you will undoubtedly wear, the most treasured moments will be those that happen spontaneously. Without planning or practicing. That's why we love, love, BIG love photographers like Jennifer Oliphant, who make sure they capture those moments that will forever be remembered.  In years to come, Kaye and Jonathon will be able to share with their family exactly what it was that cracked them up right after they said their I Dos,…

10th December 2012

Feliz Navidad, beautiful Sunshine Coast brides! The stores have long been busting out the carols, lights are up all around the neighbourhood, almost everyone I know has their tree up, the eating, drinking and being merry is well underway. Oh, and in this part of the world, it is prime beach weather with blue skies, glittering white sand and sparkling saltwater. Divine! To me the best part about Christmas is the decorative factor – everything just looks so pretty! Sometimes tacky… but mostly pretty! And no Christmas decoration I have seen is more super pretty than the one we are…
