Dave & Ashleigh’s Wedding, Shelley Beach & Caloundra Powerboat Club Sunshine Coast
Oh what a wedding … I’m full of love for this couple and their family. I met Ashleigh at a Bridal Open Day at Caloundra Power Boat Club. The first thing I said was “Wow, I would love to photograph your eyes!!” Well my dream came true and I photographed those beautiful eyes and mermaid hair on her wedding day … the best thing about Ash is that is even more beautiful on the inside!
Dave and Ash were married at Shelly Beach. Dave struggled to hold back to tears when he saw his 4 children walking towards the aisle. By the time they had reached him he could no longer hold them back and gave them all a big hug. His beautiful bride walked along the beach with her Step Dad and then down the aisle with her father. It was a heartfelt moment as the couple finally stood side by side. During the ceremony Ashleigh made a promise to Heavenly, Taj, Summer & Indi as well as their Dad!
We had a stunning afternoon on the beach, Mother Nature was looking after them and washed up a heart shaped rock onto the beach!! How amazing! They had quick ride in the the Blue Kombi to a tucked away boat ramp. Love this spot, it has some of the best light and is perfect to gaze at the sunset. These newlyweds were super lucky, with a spectacular afternoon!!!
I love to get a personal insight of the day.. here are some words from Ashleigh:
How would you describe the theme/style of your wedding?

Having Luke Anthony playing acoustic music on the beach really set the vibe for the whole day, we really wanted people to feel relaxed from the get go
