Rain, rain, go away……you aren’t gonna ruin this wedding day!

In the days leading up to Anna and David’s wedding,  Brisbane was copping an absolute drenching and as you may have read in our previous blog posts…….rain and cameras = no fun at all.

We woke to the big day on Saturday 28 January 2012 to find that it was still a rainy old day. Boohoo! But not to matter, with our wet weather plans previously sorted we packed our big umbrellas and a change of clothes (just in case!) and we were off to meet up with our gorgeous bride Anna.

Anna and the girls were all cheerfully prepping for the big occasion when we arrived at Anna’s family home.  All of Anna’s girls were ready and looking fabulous,  so it was all very relaxed while Anna’s hair and makeup was finalised.

It’s always great to watch as our lady of the moment is transformed into a gorgeous bride.

Thanks also goes out to Anna’s Mum and Dad for allowing us run of the house….particularly for allowing us to rearrange the furniture!

Once we’d finished shooting our bride (hehehe) and her lovely bridesmaids,  we were off to meet up with David and the boys at Hills Church, Everton Park.

David was all smiles when we arrived and was very eager to hear all about his stunning bride Anna.  Tina loves telling the groom how gorgeous his bride is looking
Hills Church was a great location for their wedding,  with heaps of space and the lighting made for some really great photographs.  The band was also super awesome.

Anna and David had opted to do something a little different,  by cutting their cake immediately following their ceremony and enjoying some relaxing beverages with family and friends before heading off on our location photos adventure.

We had planned some really cool photo locations at Walkabout Creek and nearby parks however gum boots and a big umbrella wouldn’t have been enough to save us from the rain/rain puddles.  So…instead we decided to use the gorgeous UQ at St Lucia.

Wedding photos at UQ St Lucia is always a fantastic option with the Great Court’s beautiful sandstone buildings.   It gives off such a romantic feel to the photos and what more could you ask for.

After some fun at UQ,  we were off to Walkabout Creek for the happy couples reception.  The team at Walkabout Creek did a wonderful job with the reception venue and the big “Mr and Mrs O” was a great touch to the bridal table.

Anna and David,  we hope that you had a wonderful wedding day and we truly appreciate being given the opportunity to share in this special occasion. We wish you all the happiness in the world and we hope that you’ve enjoyed the sneak peek at your gorgeous wedding photos.

Nigel and Tina

Anna and Richard had been planning their special day for quite some time and it finally arrived on Saturday 28 November.

We arrived at Hotel Conrad in Brisbane’s CBD to commence photos with the girls and Anna was so very excited that her wedding day was finally here. As always, Tina was looking forward to seeing Anna’s dress and it certainly was impressive.

Once we had photographed the dress, shoes and flowers, it was time for Anna to get into that gorgeous dress of hers. Anna’s Dad looked so proud to see Anna when she finally walked out to greet us in her wedding gown. I think Anna was even fighting back a few tears.

After we’d finished photographing the girls getting ready, it was time to head over to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs to photograph Richard and his Groomsmen at the ceremony location. Richard and the boys were having a great time chatting and laughing and if my memory serves me correct, there were even a few jokes in there about Anna being late.

Anna and Richard had a beautiful ceremony overlooking the Brisbane River and although it was overcast, the rain stayed at bay allowing the happy couple to exchange their vows without getting drenched.

Following the ceremony we headed out for some location photos along the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and then over to the Captain Burke Park to capture some images with the Story Bridge in the background.

From the Captain Burke Park, I headed off with the bridal party to catch a boat which had been organised to take Anna and Richard to the reception at the Riverlife Marquee at Kangaroo Point Cliffs. As we motored past the guests standing on the boardwalk outside Riverlife, all of the guests were cheering and clapping for the happy couple. I have to say, this was a pretty cool experience and I was just their photographer. I can only imagine how it felt for Anna and Richard.

We’d like to thank Anna and Richard for allowing us the privilege of photographing their special day and we wish them all the very best.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peak at your images guys!
