Sunset Shoot

What happens when you combine an amazing bunch of creatives, the A Darling Affair team and the stunning Sunshine Coast mountains? Ummm…one of our favourite shoots ever!

A few months ago, one of our A Darling Affair dream teams put together the perfect Autumn photo shoot. The Sunshine Coast is home to some spectacular mountain walks and wanting to create something a little different, they weren’t afraid to be a tad adventurous and hike up beautiful Mt Ngungun, the ultimate backdrop for dreamy, love-filled photo’s.

Fun was the order of the day, and Babushka Ballerina provided the perfect dresses for a bride who loves a splash of adventure, The Beauty Case was (as always) on hand with stunning, on point wedding hair and makeup, amazing images were taken by the very talented Juddric Photoraphy and Rose and Heart provided a bouquet of flowers that would make Mother Nature swoon!

We just love how these images turned out! Be sure to come and meet some of the amazing vendors that put together this photo shoot at the next Sunshine Coast Wedding Fair this October. Early bird tickets  available now!

 

Juddric Photography

We love Juddric Photogaphy! Judd has been a long time supporter of A Darling Affair and we always love having him as part our wedding fair lineup!

As a kid, Judd would save up his pocket money to buy film to put in his Mum’s camera, then save up again to get the film developed. They were mainly photo’s of his cat, but you gotta start somewhere, right?! His love for photography was evident to everyone around him and eventually it got to the point where a friend asked him to do the photography for their wedding. Lucky for us, the rest is history!

A self-described non traditional wedding photographer, Judd specialises in full day wedding coverage. He’s all about letting the day unfold naturally and capturing every crazy, fun, heartfelt moment that the celebration brings.

Judd is a master at fitting in with the wedding guests and always get’s a kick out being asked how he knows the couple.  When other guests think that your wedding photographer is already a friend of the bride and groom, you know you’re on to a winner!

Come meet Judd for yourself at the next Sunshine Coast Wedding Fair, and head to his website or Facebook page to see more of his awesome work.

TURN IT UP!

A great band can bring together any crowd  and can even turn someone with two left feet into a boogie master.

The last Brisbane Wedding Festival had some of Brisbane’s favourite bands, pumping awesome tunes and getting feet tapping. These powerhouses of funk know how to get a group movin’ and grovin’ and are a must for any big event.

With a band line up and set list that can be customised to suit your budget, tone of your event and your preferred music genres, The White Tree Band typically perform chilled background tunes early in the evening, acting more as atmospheric mood music, then can quickly transform into a highly energetic dance band for later in the night (when the guests have had a few more drinks!).  For the dance sets, funk and rock classics are always a crowd-pleaser, as well as killer new music – keeping guests satisfied, no matter their age or music tastes.

When a close friend asked Ange to sing at her wedding, she wanted to surprise her with something a little out of the ordinary. Unable to find a song that perfectly captured who they were or the awesomeness of their relationship, she decided that she needed to write the words herself. Not only surprising them with their very own original song on their wedding day, she also recorded the track for them to keep forever. (Is it just us, or does Ange sound like the coolest friend ever???)

Dan and Ange are Love Note Music, a Sunshine Coast based, acoustic live music duo who specialise in creating the perfect mood for your Sunshine Coast, Brisbane or destination wedding. Whether it’s performing acoustic covers with a unique twist for your ceremony, cruisy afternoon sets for canapé or cocktail hour, relaxed music or getting the party started at your reception, Love Note make sure that every moment of your day is accompanied by a great vibe.

 

LARK MUSIC
