Brisbane couple, Anthony and Tracey, met at a festival in their home city. Five loving years later, they were engaged and in 12 months they planned their own wedding with finesse. A Sunshine Coast wedding with style by the water was the order of the day.  Keeping things elegant and simple was their plan from the outset. They achieved this by having a guest list on the shorter side, with just 66 close friends and family members attending. This allowed the newlyweds to spend more time with each guest on the day. Simplicity was also achieved by having their ceremony…

Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Luke Going, always manages to blow us away with the beauty contained in his images. A classic black and white image is made so incredibly stunning with his eye for capturing beauty in simplicity. We adore this photo of bride, Kate, who married Brad in a Maleny wedding. Taking time out for a little swing between champagnes, Kate? Why not, it’s your day! Enjoy our photo of the week, and your weekend, lovely Sunshine Coast brides!

Kylie and Darren commissioned their wedding photographer, Sunshine Coast fave, Alan Hughes Photography, to take some pre-wedding photos that reflected their personalities. Being country people through and through, it made perfect sense to have an engagement photo session out in the bush, where they would feel right at home.  This pair were more than happy trekking through long grass, sometimes way above their heads! Darren is in Land Management and Kylie is a Nutritionist, so they are at one with nature – not so much for our Alan, who was quite pleased the country folk were there to forge the…

I’d say our photo of the week is pretty as a picture, but it’s actually prettier than that. I’m sure you’ll all agree, this photo is like life itself. It jumps off the page, well, off the screen. You feel like you could just reach out and touch it, and be in this intimate moment between a new husband and wife.  We have the talents of the lovely Deb from Boots Photography to thank for this gorgeous work. Thanks Deb, and Happy Saturday, lovely Sunshine Coast brides!

Gorgeous couple, Zara and Richard, were married on an absolutely beautiful day in paradise on the Sunshine Coast, in coastal town, Caloundra. They made the best use of their spectacular surroundings at their chosen wedding venue, Pelican Waters Golf Club.  The Golf Club is, as you would expect, perfectly maintained to, well, perfection. Each blade of grass is always cut to just the right height. Each garden is pristine, and there are both wide open spaces and sweet spots for pretty posing for wedding photos.  Take a peek at these amazing photographs by the ever lovely Lindy Photography.  You can…

Earlier this year, we ran a competition to win a $5000 big day with your besties. The prize was to take three of your best gal pals with you to enjoy the most amazing day with pampering, high tea, a photo shoot, new dresses and a night away in a mansion in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Not too shabby at all!  Our winner, Suzie, was beyond thrilled when she received the news she had won, and gathered her gals for the best day ever! Despite one of her girlfriends unexpectedly being unable to make it, the remaining three had the…
