Jody Gilchrist Maleny Wedding Photographer

Fast becoming Australia’s wedding centraI is my beautiful part of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Amidst the rolling hills of Maleny, where couples are trending to have small, more intimate, wed affairs. A plethora of glorious venues and private properties are positioned, to cater every whim for small weddings as well as the giant productions.

I returned to the area with my family after 20 years and being a re-established local, I’m happy to made recommendations and share my knowledge of the Range.

Perhaps your considering Eloping or an Intimate “Runaway” Wedding in the Mountains. Pete and I had a surprise wedding, with just 50 guests!

Whilst ours was a perfect event, we'll always miss having those enduring memories framed. I wasn't a photographer then but now my experience is informed. It's vital to connect genuinely with both the bride and groom and it’s because natural images are fleeting moments. Capturing that glance, the unscripted exchanges of emotions is what make good wedding photos great! If I am to promote myself, I can say I care about preserving those images.

Elopements, runaway weddings and vow renewals are what I love to shoot. It's a privilege to be one of the few to witness a couple’s commitment to one another. On a number of occasions, I’ve been delighted to witness the register for couples.

My fees start at $600 for weekday elopements and are otherwise scaled on the number of guests. I can come early and stay late.

Feel free to ring me for a chat.Jody
