On the 19th of March, 2025, Morgan and Brendan celebrated their love in a breathtaking setting at the Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird Avery, a picturesque venue nestled in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. With views overlooking the majestic Glasshouse Mountains, this venue is truly a hidden gem for couples seeking a romantic, nature-filled wedding.
The day began at a beautiful Airbnb in Mapleton where the bridal party gathered for the preparations. The stunning bridesmaids wore trending yellow dresses that added a pop of sunshine to the day, and Morgan’s gown, from the renowned White Lily Couture, was a perfect blend of elegance and grace. The morning was filled with emotion as Morgan shared two special first looks: one with her brother and the other with her dad. These heartfelt moments set the tone for a day full of love and joy.
Meanwhile, the groomsmen were getting ready at Morgan and Brendan’s home in Mapleton. After sharing a few beers and some laughs, the boys suited up and waited eagerly for the day to unfold. Once the girls arrived, the couple shared their first look at the property—a private and intimate moment before heading out to capture a few beautiful couple portraits around the scenic grounds.
Next, we made our way to the Maleny Botanic Gardens for the much-anticipated ceremony. Officiated by the wonderful Briony from Smitten Ceremonies, the ceremony was a heartfelt celebration of Morgan and Brendan’s journey together. Full of meaningful memories, the ceremony reflected the deep love they share, surrounded by nature’s beauty.
After exchanging vows, the newlyweds took a few more photos, including one with one of the birds from the garden's aviary—an extra touch of whimsy that added to the charm of the day. They also had some time to wander the lush gardens for more beautiful couple shots, capturing their joy and love in a stunning natural setting.
The celebration continued with a reception at Altitude Montville, a venue known for its fantastic food and excellent service. Guests were treated to an unforgettable evening of laughter, dancing, and great conversation. Altitude Montville offered the perfect ambiance for this joyous occasion, combining breathtaking views with a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere.
A huge thank you to Morgan and Brendan for allowing me to be a part of their special day and to capture their happily ever after. It was truly an honor to be there, documenting their love and the beginning of their forever.
