Sandi + Tony | She Breaks Them, He Fixes Them | A Maleny Wedding

Sandi & Tony came all the way from Western Australia to be married on the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland.  It was lovely to see plenty of Sandi's family making the trek to join Tony's family from Brisbane.  A lovely melding of two families and two people.

When we met with Sandi & Tony for the first time early in the week prior to their wedding we asked them what they are most looking forward to about their wedding.  It was a resounding, 'Catching up with all our loved ones' from both of them.  They both spent loads of time on the day with their guests, hugging and crying about how wonderful it was to all be together.  The immense respect that Sandi, Tony and all their families showed for the older generation was heartwarming.

The other part of their story that I just love is that Sandi is a truck-driver! You wouldn't know it by looking at her or even talking to her.  She is the most beautiful, elegant and natural woman you could find.  They met at work, on the minefields of WA.  Hence the title of their teaser, 'She breaks them, He fixes them'. She's the driver, he's the mechanic! You just have to check out their cake topper.

Sandi and Tony, we wish you every happiness always.

Jennifer + Michael | A Thousand Years | A Maleny Wedding

This weeks teaser centres around the beautiful vows that Jennifer and Michael spoke to each other.  Having been to our fair share of weddings over the years we often hear similar vows and readings.  Regardless of that when spoken by two people from the depths of their hearts the connection between them is palpable, beautiful and timeless as if these were the first words ever spoken.  I'm not sure if we have recorded these vows before but on this day it was as if this was the only wedding ceremony ever held and these words the only vows ever made.

 Along with being absolutely stunning our bride Jennifer had thought of every little detail. Even to the point of 'greasing the ring'. She shared with me in the morning that the cause of this little unorthodox ceremony is the fact that Michael has large knuckles but skinny fingers! So you will see the bridesmaids carefully applying cocoa butter to the ring.  Even so when the moment came the ring still needed to be jiggled by the groom providing a lovely light moment in the ceremony.

A wonderful day was had by all with the weather behaving and allowing us some beautiful location photos and the sun even peeking through from time to time. 

We wish you every happiness Jen & Micky, xx.

Kylie + Karl | A Happy Bride | A Maleny Wedding

This weeks bride has the most infectious smile and a wonderful laugh.  She laughed her way through the morning with her sister, bridesmaids, sister-in-law, mum and mum-in-law enjoying the day with her.  

The groom also enjoyed a relaxing morning surrounded by family and close friends at Jacaranda Cottages before jumping in a helicopter to make their grand entrance at Maleny Manor.

It was a perfect day all round.  We wish you both a wonderful life together and can't wait to complete your full wedding films.

Kate + Nathan | Boy Meets Girl | A Noosa Wedding

Today's blog post comes direct from the Bride and Groom! Kate & Nathan had put a lot of effort into all the little details used to decorate the Monterey Penthouse at Picture Point Terraces in Noosa.  Which I must say is the perfect location for an intimate Noosa wedding reception. The views were stunning, the atmosphere electric and the decorations just so cute!

One of these decorations was a London Tube style sign which read:

Boy Meets Girl
8:52 am Train to Waterloo.
Nathan: English Gentleman
Stylish
Loyal Football Fan
Kate: Brown Eyed Girl
Foodie
Thoughtful
First Date

Carluccio's in Putney

1st July Proposal

With This Ring…
31st March 2012
Hidden Grove Noosa
I do…Me too!
Happily Ever After

We all had such an amazing day.  Everything was just perfect! Which is of course exactly how the happy couple planned it.  Both being bitten by the travel bug many years ago it seemed perfectly logical that they would have a destination wedding travelling north from Sydney for the occasion.  Bringing their photographer, Halee with them and hiring some of the top Noosa wedding specialists it all seemed an easy day.

The highlight for me was most definitely the food!  Kate & Nathan are self-confessed foodies (as you can see from their sign) so it makes sense that they would have the best wedding caterer Noosa has to offer. Spoonfed are highly regarded and now I have first hand experience.  The food was just amazing and everything I've eaten since has paled in comparison!  

Kate & Nathan, you are a beautiful couple.  It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding day and we wish you all the best for the many years to come.

Michael + Katie | Young Love

Michael and Katie are one cute couple.  Young, full of life and expectation they enjoyed every moment of their day.

The girls had a great time in the morning relaxing at Katie's family home whilst the boys lived it up at the Mantra Mooloolaba Beach Resort.

After purchasing four different wedding dresses Katie looked a stunner in the winning one and Michael proudly wore the pocket watch Katie had given him.

Everything was just perfect, the weather, the baby (sleeping mostly), the dress... there was just one hitch.  When it came to the hand tying ceremony there was no silk ribbon with which to bind the couple together.  The quick thinking celebrant, Fiona, arrived at the solution moments before I did and by the time she reached me I had one of the silky pink chair ties removed and ready for her outstreached hand.  What a save!  The lovely decorator, Cloud Nine Weddings graciously gifted the chair tie to the couple.

Here is their teaser, we know you'll love it :) Feel free to comment below.
