Villa Botanica, Airlie Beach Wedding

Brooke and Kelly say the story of their first encounter could be made into a screenplay! We think our photography of their wedding complements this part of their journey together just perfectly.

“Two twin flames, finally reunited” is how the couple describe their first meeting. A beautiful moment, on a dancefloor in Queensland. Brooke and Kelly’s eyes locked immediately, and they made their way over to each other. They shared a dance and a small kiss. And like all the good movies, the rest is history!

Their immediate ease with each other on that first night has never left them, and this indeed showed on the couple’s special day – at the beautiful venue of Villa Botanica at Airlie Beach, Queensland. There were big smiles all round and plenty of beautiful moments, raucous laughter and tender loving care.

Set right on the water overlooking the Coral Sea, with over five acres of lush private gardens, Villa Botanica was the idyllic spot for this couple’s wedding. With five-star food and drinks, a stunning venue and world-class accommodation, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Brooke looked absolutely stunning in her white, Bardot-styled lace dress with a train and front split. Kelly looked quite the match in his sandy beige pants and blazer with a white-collared button-up shirt.

Fifty guests of family and close friends were there to celebrate with the two lovebirds. This was an intimate wedding that felt just the right size for the venue. As Airlie Beach wedding photographers, we love to capture the essence of every couple we work with. This couple exudes happiness, caring and compassion. The Kiwi spirit lives strong in Kelly, with his chilled-out nature and his ability to strike up a conversation with anyone and find common ground. Brooke wears her heart on her sleeve and has a bubbly, beautiful personality that wants nothing more than to help the world.

This is one moment in the movie of their life that will stay with them forever.
