Emma & Davorin

Emma received an extraordinary memory on her 21st birthday after her soon to be husband Davorin surprised her with an adrenalin adventure skydive, disguised with a proposal. “I pulled into the skydiving centre and dared Emma to jump out of a perfectly good plane,” recalls Davorin. It took a little persuasion, but soon both Emma and Davorin were climbing to 14 thousand feet, and were then kindly asked to exit the aircraft.

Soon after safely landing on Currumundi Beach Davorin dropped to one knee and formally proposed to Emma. After such an eventful proposal Emma and Davorin thought it was fitting to celebrate their wedding day with a beach style theme. They chose Shelly Beach for their ceremony location, mainly due to childhood memories. “As a family we often holidayed in Caloundra, the rocks and waterfront of Shelley Beach held a special place in my heart,” said Emma.

Family connections were continued with Emma’s father officially marrying Emma and Davorin. “That was such a wonderfully special moment of our day, having a father who was also a Reverend to marry us,” recalls Emma. The beach style setting provided an alluring back drop for their wedding photography, which also included a private garden location in Buderim.

Beachfront celebrations continued through the evening with the reception being held at Maroochydore Surf Club. Aqua styling was prominent in the bridal party as well as the venue with butterflies and fairy lights creating subtle ambience and ocean views providing Emma and Davorin with their fairytale dream wedding.
