Noosa Photography Co ~ Maleny Botanical Gardens Wedding Photography
Maleny wedding photography on the Sunshine Coast is a completely different world to a beach session. The light comes through the canopy differently. The colours are richer and deeper. The locations, a lily pond fringed with tree ferns and bromeliads, an ancient fig tree with roots that spread wider than the wedding party, a hilltop ceremony with the Glass House Mountains sitting perfectly on the horizon, demand a photographer who knows how to work with natural surroundings rather than against them.
Noosa Photography Co knows this hinterland and what it can produce in the right hands.
Zane and Vanessa chose Maleny Botanic Gardens for their wedding and brought with them two of the most charming ring bearers imaginable. Twin boys in white shirts and grey suspenders who had absolutely no intention of standing still and made every single image better for it.
What the Hinterland Does for Wedding Photography
There is a lushness to the Sunshine Coast hinterland that the beach simply cannot replicate. The deep greens, the lily pads floating across the still pond, the light filtering through the tree canopy onto the bridal bouquet with its proteas and native foliage. And then that wide shot of the couple standing at the edge of the lily pond with the whole extraordinary garden reflected in the water beneath them. That image belongs in a gallery.
The Glass House Mountains ceremony backdrop is one of the most recognisable and breathtaking in Queensland. The golden triangle arch with its native florals, the couple’s first kiss with those ancient volcanic peaks sitting in the distance, the whole guest group hands raised in celebration on the hillside. These are not images that could be taken anywhere else. They are completely and specifically here.
And underneath the ancient fig tree at golden hour, the couple small beneath those enormous spreading branches with the sun breaking through behind them, that is the kind of image that stops people mid-scroll.
What this client said
“Prior to getting married I was quite nervous, but Noosa Photography Co made it easier to get through and I was definitely more relaxed by the time I walked down the aisle. We loved how easily the perfect spots were chosen, and Zane and I felt we could just trust them and allow them to do what they do best. We loved how comfortable we were made to feel in front of the camera and best of all, the results are truly incredible! The photos brought tears to my eyes when I first viewed them, and Zane said WOW how are we going to even choose our favourite to put on the wall! We would absolutely recommend Noosa Photography Co. Our experience was fun, and very relaxing, so thank you.”
