DUSKY ELEMENTS

This shoot really did prove that you can have minimalistic elements to your wedding and still create
a beautiful ambiance and photos that wow. Simplicity is often the key – add in a few styling
elements with florals and let the venue do the rest.

This stunning wedding venue, Olive View Estate, is situated in Kulgun between Boonah and Kalbar in Queensland’s Scenic Rim. Opening its doors as a holiday rental in 2020, owners Kat and Matt were keen to showcase this gorgeous property as a ‘all in one’ wedding venue.

"Being a new venue, we really wanted to showcase the Estate’s scenery, which is a major drawcard
for couples looking for the perfect wedding venue. With the capacity for accommodation, ceremony
and reception all in one location, it was wonderful to be able to capture Olive View Estate ready for
its first real wedding." Emma Jade tells.

This shoot was set for December and in the lead up, we were having relatively mild days, for a
Queensland Summer – until shoot day... Shoot day reached forty-three degrees which definitely proved
to be a challenge for all the vendors involved. Luckily, the Cottage is air-conditioned, which meant
getting ready was a breeze and we could kick back in comfort. The gorgeous Scenic Rim afternoon
weather change came at the perfect time and we were able to explore the venue and it’s surrounds
as the temperature dropped.

To us, shoots like this is all about gathering fellow like-minded vendors together to create and do
what we do best. This shoot was no exception. We were able to capture gorgeous portraits in the
rows and rows of olive trees and make the most of the stunning mountain backdrops that Olive View
Estate has to offer.

It was great to support an upcoming wedding and events venue in our local area and even better

that we got to finish off the day with ice cream from the restored ice cream van available as a
feature for couples getting married at Olive View Estate.
