Russ and Becky’s wedding at The Spicers Tamarind Retreat spoiled me in more ways than one – a venue with all the things a bride could want from her wedding venue – from accommodation and a restaurant to a spa and more!
When doing their engagement session at Bribie Island in May, we had the Glasshouse Mountains forming our distant backdrop. This time, on this very significant day – their wedding – we were on the other side of that gorgeous view in Maleny! The beautiful Maleny treated our senses with picturesque views, the quiet and tranquility of nature, and the fresh, Sunshine Coast air. Being romanced by the views of the Glasshouse Mountains is certainly worth the drive, and a relaxing break from Brisbane City.
Both Russ and Becky had family fly in from the UK for this special occasion, and it was such an honour seeing the families unite on such a beautiful day in Australia. The weather forecast warned of the coming rain and we could only hope it would spare us… And what a blessing it was, the day was clear and the first proper raindrops fell on our car on the road after this special day. What made this even more special is that it rained the entire weekend afterwards, non stop! Being spared on your wedding day certainly must feel wonderful when looking out the window the next morning and knowing that day could’ve been yours…
The flowers done by Sarah from Twig & Blossom were so beautiful and romantic, the food was divine, and the band entertained us all night! Becky and Russ looked amazing in their coordinated colours and everything came together wonderfully on this special day. It was an honour photographing and I hope for many more like this to come!
Becky and Russ, thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your special day, allowing us to be there all the way and experience your journey with you, and for showing your love in a special and beautiful way! You were rockstars in your photo session and I cannot wait to give you your photos and start designing your album! We wish you a marriage filled with endless good times, understanding in the tough times, and many things to look forward to and celebrate :)
Lots of love,
Sonja xo
