STYLED: SUNSET VOWS | BEACH WEDDING INSPIRATION SUNSHINE COAST QLD

JUDY COPLEY COUTURE SUNSHINE COAST WEDDING INSPO BEACH CEREMONY

"The whole team was committed to making this shoot incredible. But all of this wouldn’t have been possible without our models, Monique & Bronte. A real couple with a pretty steamy chemistry." Adriana - Adriana Watson Photography

what was the inspiration behind this shoot? My biggest inspiration was the beautiful location. I have spent a lot of time with my family enjoying Currimundi Lake, especially the breathtaking sunset. Many times we sat on the dunes just watching the sun go down. I thought it would be the perfect location for our bohemian shoot.

what are some of the highlights you had during the shoot process: We had such a great team, everyone contributed with great ideas and hard work. The whole team was committed to making this shoot incredible. But all of this wouldn’t have been possible without our models, Monique & Bronte. A real couple with a pretty steamy chemistry. They are really into each other and their electricity really brought this shoot to life. Just perfection!

did you face any challenges on the day? Oh yes, we did have a couple of challenges. We had to shoot when the tide was very low, as my vision was to have the shoot right in the middle of the lake. Actually, where we shot, during high tide the water is waist deep. Choosing a date with the right tide was imperative. The lighting was challenging as well. The lake is beautiful, but that half hour before sunset is when the magic happens. The landscape is golden goodness! So we waited until then, leaving me with only 30 minutes to get all the images I wanted. It worked though.

what led you to decide on this venue/shoot location? Well, the inspiration was the deciding factor. A gorgeous coastal lake, with a very unique landscape and a beautiful sunset. I couldn’t have picked a better location.

what was your favourite detail about the shoot day? I love every element of the shoot, from the styling to the flowers, that gorgeous cake, dream catchers, hair, makeup, and Judy Copley's stunning gown. But, if I had to pick one, it would definitely be Monique & Bronte’s hot chemistry. There is no amount of styling that can make a shoot successful without the right models. They nailed it!

favourite moment/s from the day: Hanging out with all vendors involved in this shoot at one of my favorite places on the coast. We often cross paths briefly when working at Weddings, sometimes we don’t even see each other at work, so style shoots give us an opportunity to catch up and get to know each other.
