We just adore Maleny Botanic Gardens as a Sunshine Coast Wedding venue. We also love to photography awesome people, so it’s no doubt that Tess and Glen’s Hinterland Wedding was a blast. Being a Wedding Photographer on the stunning Sunshine Coast, Queensland ensures a pretty extensive range of location and venue options, but you really have hold your breath when looking at the Maleny Botanic Gardens for what it has to offer at both small and grand scales. Excuse my tangent… introducing our couple:
Meet Glen:
Tess had the ultimate elegant bridal gown (made by her amazing mum). Wait until you see the back.
Meet Tess:
Tess looked perfect with makeup by Tasleema Nigh Makeup and hair by Love and Obey Hair.
Tess and Glen are not a ‘conventional couple’ by definition. They created their day to the beat of their own drum, which resulted in a clear focus on their relationship with each other and their guests. Tess and Glen were more than happy to meet each other before their ceremony to maximise time with their guests.
Yes, the Maleny Botanic Gardens are truly spectacular for Sunshine Coast wedding photography.
This shot has become one of our all-time favourites. Our photography is classified as Fine Art Wedding Photography, but it is not only that but the emotion of people and the story-telling of a scene that keep us inspired; we are blessed to be part of a couple’s day in this regard.
Remember I said the nuptials came after the couples’ photographs? Well here they are: 
Kari from Kari Celebrations was the celebrant. We seem to be spending a fair bit of time together this year. We love her warmth, humour and care. She makes: Sparkling weddings, meaningful ceremony, delightful rituals, fun and laughter … 
To me, this image of Tess is sheer elegance mixed with confident poise. A favourite!
The Montville Village Hall is one awesome venue. It provides vintage charm for intimate wedding receptions.
Capitol Groove kept the dance floor pumping.
Tess and Glen chose the wonderful Deb from Designer Cakes by Deb to create their wedding cake.
All the best guys, the only regret we have is not being able to open that darn phone-booth to get the Superman shots!
