Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer
Where relaxed coastal vibes meet warm, natural storytelling
With the privilege of being a trusted Sunshine Coast wedding photographer and a destination wedding photographer across Australia, I specialise in capturing fun, relaxed and natural moments. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a big celebration with all your favourite people, my goal is simple, to photograph your wedding in a way that takes you right back to how it felt.
The Sunshine Coast is one of the most idyllic places in Queensland to get married. From golden beaches to lush hinterland retreats, this region offers endless beauty, incredible light and a relaxed atmosphere that makes every wedding feel effortless and full of joy.
Why the Sunshine Coast means something to me
The Sunshine Coast has always been a favourite for me and for my family. It goes back to my high school years, staying with my cousin at Peregian Beach and surfing every morning. Later it was camping at Cotton Tree with the kids when they were little, climbing Mount Ngungun in the Glass House Mountains to watch the sunset and walking back down in the dark, beach days at Noosa, and camping out west in the lush tropical country around Conondale. The Sunshine Coast draws us in a way that slows us down and lets us enjoy the moments we have. That is the same feeling I want to give you in your wedding photos.
My approach to Sunshine Coast weddings
Every couple has their own story, and your photos should reflect that. My approach is warm, unobtrusive and focused on capturing the real moments, the laughter, the quiet in‑between moments, the way you look at each other when no one else is watching.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A relaxed, natural style with gentle guidance when needed
- Real emotions and genuine connection
- Beautiful use of natural light
- A calm presence who blends in with your day
- Storytelling that captures the full experience, not just the posed moments
Whether you’re getting married by the beach, in the hinterland, or at one of the Sunshine Coast’s iconic venues, I’ll help you feel comfortable and present so your photos feel like you.
Why choose me as your Sunshine Coast wedding photographer
Experienced
I’ve photographed over 300 weddings, from the Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay to Newcastle, Adelaide, the Greek Islands and New Zealand. That experience shows up as calm on the day, whatever happens.
Authentic, natural storytelling
No fake laughs. No stiff posing. No forced moments. I keep things real and in the moment, so your photos feel like you. I come to every wedding with a traveller’s eye. The Sunshine Coast isn’t just a backdrop, it becomes part of your story, from the landscapes right down to the smallest details. The little moments, the small details, the location you chose to share with your favourite people. That’s the stuff I love to capture most.
You book me, not a stand-in
When you book me, I am the one photographing your wedding. No associate shooters, no last-minute substitutes. I have not missed a wedding in over 16 years, and I am not about to start.
No long waits for your photos
You will not be left waiting months to relive your day. I deliver your full gallery within 4 to 6 weeks, so the memories are still fresh when you get them.

Wedding Photographer Across the Sunshine Coast
From the hinterland to the coast, I photograph weddings all over the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa, Maleny, Montville, Caloundra and the Maleny hinterland. Below are a few of the areas I love working in, and some of the real weddings I’ve captured there.
Noosa Weddings
Shooting weddings in Noosa always feels special. I love the blue water, the resort‑style atmosphere and the relaxed locations that let couples settle in with their favourite people. Noosa Boathouse brings that beautiful riverfront glow, Hidden Grove offers a quiet beachfront ceremony spot, and Noosa North Shore gives you wide open beaches and a real sense of escape. It’s the mix of ocean, sunshine and calm energy that makes photographing Noosa weddings feel so effortless.
Maleny & Montville Weddings
Shooting weddings in Maleny and Montville is always a dream. The lush green surrounds, rolling hills and those incredible hinterland views make every wedding feel calm, intimate and full of atmosphere. Maleny Manor, Weddings at Tiffany’s, Flaxton Gardens, Maleny Retreat, The Chapel Montville and The Old Dairy all have their own charm, but they share that same feeling of being tucked away in the mountains with the people you love most.
There are a few places I’d love to photograph soon too, like Goodwater Ridge Montville and Maleny Country Estate. Both have that beautiful mix of open space, greenery and a real destination feel for family and friends. It’s the combination of scenery, quiet moments and the way the hinterland wraps around you that makes Maleny and Montville weddings so special to capture.
Caloundra & coastal weddings
Shooting weddings in Caloundra always feels easy and laid‑back. The beaches, the soft coastal light and the relaxed vibe make it such a beautiful place for couples who want a simple, calm day by the ocean. Sunshine Beach Surf Club is one of my favourites too, with its beachfront access for photos and the sound of the waves in the background while you wander down to the sand. There’s something special about these coastal spots, the mix of blue water, open space and that holiday feel for family and friends makes every moment feel effortless.

Sunshine Coast wedding photographer FAQs
Do you travel across the whole Sunshine Coast?
Yes. As a Sunshine Coast wedding photographer I photograph weddings right across the region, from Noosa and the beaches to the Maleny and Montville hinterland, Caloundra and everywhere in between. Wherever your day is happening on the Coast, I can be there.
What is your photography style?
I am a documentary and candid wedding photographer, so I focus on real, relaxed moments rather than stiff posing. My goal is to photograph your day in a way that takes you right back to how it actually felt.
When should I book my Sunshine Coast wedding photographer?
As early as you can. I only take on a limited number of weddings and dates book out well ahead, especially in peak season, so once you have your date and venue it is worth getting in touch to check availability.
Do you photograph Maleny, Montville and Noosa weddings?
Absolutely. The Sunshine Coast hinterland and Noosa are some of my favourite places to shoot. You can see recent weddings across these areas throughout this page.
Will I be working with you on the day, or an associate?
You book me, not a stand-in. When you book Raconteur Photography, I am the photographer who turns up and documents your day from start to finish.
