I am reposting this engagement shoot today. 1. Because it’s awesome. 2. Because I’m sure as it was originally posted over a year ago, many of you would not have seen it before and I don’t want you to miss out! Guess what? You don’t actually have to wear matching white singlets and denim to your engagement photo shoot. And, although there are stunningly gorgeous beaches here on the Sunshine Coast, you don’t actually have to have your engagement session at one of them. And you’ll never believe this – every last pic doesn’t actually have to be all lovey-dovey! …

Peta and Paul were married at Yandina Station, and we got the scoop for our latest online magazine. Of course the incredible Deborah from Boots Photography took far too many gah-gah gorgeous images for us to fit in our pages, so we thought we would spoil you all with some more of the images from their day. The cute fashion, country setting, the bride’s horse, Hugo, lawn games and dancing. Plus, sweet little details await you in their wedding album gallery.  //// The full gallery of Peta and Paul’s wedding album can be viewed here. 

Being Melbourne Cup Day, we thought some marvellous horsey weddings would put us all in the spirit. It’s really quite magical to include your trusty stead and best friend in your wedding. And there are many wedding venues on the Sunshine Coast where you can do just that. They certainly make for some seriously stunning wedding photos.  Above two images by Willow and Sage Photography //// Above image: Emma Nayler Photographer Above image by Jennifer Oliphant Photographer Above image by Boots Photography   Above collage by Boots Photography .

Good day to you, lovely Sunshine Coast brides! It delights me to kick off this beautiful Monday morning with an absolutely gorgeous Sunshine Beach wedding. Hands-down, the star of this wedding is, as it should be, the bride, Kelly. She absolutely shines with her 1950’s-inspired hair and makeup with a contemporary twist.  //// The other shining brilliance is the photography, so wonderfully captured by one of our all-time favourite Sunshine Coast wedding photographers,  Andrea Sproxton Photography. These are some of the most gorgeous photos we have ever featured on The Bride’s Tree; we are extremely excited to share them with…

When your photographer turns up on your wedding day morning, you will be busily being pampered and fussed over by your makeup artist, hair stylist, bridesmaids and your mother. Before you get dressed, your awesome Sunshine Coast wedding photographer will ask to be directed to the beautiful wedding dress you plan to marry your beloved in. Now, you could have it hanging limp and lifeless in your wardrobe… Or you could have a grand plan for the photo they will inevitably take. Look around before the time comes and find something beautiful, funky, cool and creative to do with your…

It was a quick engagement for Emily and Mark, who planned their Mooloolaba wedding in only 7 months. Having known each other for 14 years since meeting at church, they simply did not see the need to muck about. The beautiful bride says they each complement one another and they are, quite simply, best friends. Aw! Mark’s pastor dad married the pair at Penny Lane Park, and then they kicked on with a shin dig at waterfront venue, Mooloolaba Surf Club. Their strict budget of $10,000 stretched to accommodate 100 guests, who started the day with a super sweet treat…

Rrrrrruff! Row-row-roww… that was the sound of your best friend’s little heart breaking when he discovered he wasn’t invited to your Sunshine Coast wedding. You wouldn’t leave your child at home on your special day, right? Then why leave the pug? Including a fuzzy pal requires a bit of planning, so SimplyBridal has gone ahead and done the brainstorming for you. Consider these super suggestions and you are set! Plus, lookee how cute!

Greer and James, along with their beautiful little boy, Jude, made their vows on a private lawn overlooking Sunshine Beach, a relaxed and pretty coastal town only 10 minutes south of Noosa. They then celebrated their marriage with a cocktail wedding reception at Coconut Grove Bar & Bistro, Sunshine Beach.  We absolutely love this location choice. Every Sunshine Beach wedding we have seen has been just lovely and natural, and utilised that amazing ocean view. As for their reception venue, Coconut Grove is one of our faves. The stylish décor is interesting, yet simple and casual. It’s one of those places that feels special, but not stuffy. Plus,…
