Tina and I had the pleasure of meeting the Scott family late last year when we photographed the beautiful Liz on her wedding day at Glengariff.  We were super excited when Liz contacted us to say that they’d love to get some family photos done for their Mum Kathie as a birthday pressie.

Kathie,  we hope you had a wonderful Birthday and that you enjoy these precious family photos for many years to come.  Thanks for allowing us to be part of this special gift.

And thanks to Jim for his creativeness in the last one

As we are located in Brisbane I thought I would go for a look at the flooding Brisbane river from the general Kangaroo Point area. I thought I would also try my hand at some time lapse footage.

Check out the video below.

A compilation of still shots, video and time lapse footage taken from around Brisbane city during the floods on the 13th January 2011. The floods are set to be the costliest natural disaster ever in Australia. They were caused by significant falls of rain of up to 100mm per hour in some places. The Wivenhoe Dam was said to be receiving more than twice the volume of the Sydney Harbour each day at the time.

Our lucky last wedding for 2010 was the wedding of Cherie and Josh on Saturday 18 December.

The happy couple were married at the Apostolic Church at Norwell, followed by a wonderful reception at Sirromet Winery.

The weather certainly wasn’t playing nicely for their big day however we were fortunate enough to get a few breaks in the rain and the photos are just stunning. We may be a little biased though.

Cherie and Josh had one of our biggest bridal parties to date and everyone was fantastic. One of our favorite moments was when we were photographing the boys only to have the girls chuck on their gumboots and run through the boys like crazy women – was pretty funny and made for some cool shots.

We were also very chuffed with all of the wonderful feedback when received on our little slideshow that we created at the reception. We sometimes surprise our brides by showing a few images from their day and this certainly turned out to be a hit with the guests. Thanks again to everyone for your kind feedback.

Tina would also like to say a very special thank you to Cherie, Josh, their bridal party and all of their family and friends for such a great day. This was Tina’s very last wedding for sometime now as we await the arrival of our little bundle of joy, who is due on 8 March 2011.

From both Tina and I, we’d like to wish Cherie and Josh all the very best for their future together.

Enjoy the images below!

 

Wow, wow, wow !!!!!!

We had such a great time photographing the wedding of Emma and Michael on Saturday 20th November 2010.

Our day started out with a warm welcome from Emma’s parents when we arrived at their stunning Woolstore apartment over at Teneriffe. Emma and the girls were running a little behind schedule with their hair and makeup (can’t rush these things!) so Emma’s Mum and Dad gladly let us get cracking on photographing the dress etc while we waited for the girls to arrive. It wasn’t long before a very nervous Emma arrived with her girls and cracked out a bottle of bubbly to calm those wedding day jitters.

After we’d finalised the prep images of the lovely ladies, we headed over to St Johns Cathedral to meet up with Michael and the boys. We usually find the Groom is a bundle of nerves when we arrive (us photographers usually mean that the Bride isn’t far away) however Michael appeared to be cool, calm and collected.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of peaking inside St Johns Cathedral, you are missing out. This Cathedral is incredible! What an amazing location to get married.

Once Emma and Michael had been announced as husband and wife and the day’s formalities were completed, it was time to head off and capture some location photos of the happy couple.

Now Emma was a very organised bride (we’re sure Michael helped too) and gave us a list of the some fantastic photo spots around Teneriffe. We were super excited after seeing the location ideas that Emma gave us and we seriously could not have been happier with the results.

We also stayed on to photograph Emma and Michael’s reception at Eve’s on the River. Everyone had fantastic time helping Emma and Michael celebrate their wedding day and I have to say, Michael’s brother gave poor old Michael a bit of a ribbing during his speech – which of course was hilarious.

We managed to also surprise Emma and Michael with a quick slideshow of the images from their special day and we certainly received some wonderful feedback. One of their guests was even screaming out “oh my god” at every image that came up and said she was going to cry. How’s that for feedback!

Emma and Michael – we truly can’t express how happy we were to have been part of your special day. You were both fantastic and its people like you guys that make our job so much fun. We’d like to wish you every happiness for the future and we look forward to catching up with you again soon.

We hope you all enjoy the sneak peak below.
Check out those dance moves!!!

 

We had the pleasure of catching up with Andrea and Stephen on Saturday 13 November to capture some portait shots of the happy couple.  We first met these guys way back in April at the wedding of Lauren and Mick.

Stephen thought it would be a great idea to surprise Andrea with a photoshoot for her birthday and by the sounds of it,  Andrea got spoilt rotten.  You’ve got him trained well Andrea!

Here are a few pics from the photoshoot – hope you enjoy.

We had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Cilla and Scott on Sunday 12 September 2010.

The happy couple decided to hold their ceremony at the Greek Orthodox Southside Parish and followed with a gorgeous reception at Customs House.

When we arrived to start Cilla’s prep photos,  the girls were super organised and were looking beautiful in their dresses.  Cilla’s family home certainly gave us a lovely backdrop for Cilla’s prep photos.

After a traditional Greek ceremony and plenty of congratulations from proud family and friends,  we all headed over to Customs house to commence some location photos.  Customs House is a great spot for photos and Cilla was absolutely stoked when she found out Customs House was finally available for their special day.

We had a fantastic day with Cilla and Scott and would like to say a big thanks for allowing us to be part of their special day.

Congratulations on becoming Mr and Mrs guys and we hope you enjoy the sneak peak at your images. All the very best for your future together.

 

Rachel and Ben tied the knot on Saturday the 4th September 2010 at Ocean View Estates near Dayboro. Rachel was another one of our super prepared brides and was nice and relaxed on the day.

Preparation photos were in the onsite cabins at Ocean View and the couple also had a great looking Mustang for the short trip down to the ceremony location. All of the couples location photos were also within the ground of Ocean View. We were lucky enough for the rain to stay away for the photos.

Heres a sneak peek of your photos and good luck for the future.

 

A few weeks ago we had a fun filled afternoon photographing some engagement shots with Sarah and Tim and Friday 11 June 2010 finally saw the arrival of their big day.

We arrived at Sarah’s house around 12 noon to find a very cool, calm and collected bride to be. Sarah was totally excited and couldn’t believe that she was about to marry Tim. We spent about 1.5 hrs with the girls while they were glamming it up and Sarah looked absolutely stunning in her gorgeous wedding dress. Of course the bridesmaids looked smashing too but hey, no one can out do a bride!

As always, I gave Sarah a last minute pep talk on what to do when she arrived at the ceremony location and the very last thing Sarah said to me was “please tell Tim I love him” – too cute

Sarah and Tim decided to hold their wedding at Walk About Creek and we arrived to a warm welcome from Tim and his Groomsmen who were greeting their guests as they arrived. I’m sure Tim got a kick out of me passing on the “Sarah loves you” message.

Gosh, were to start with an explanation of their ceremony…..

I have to say that Sarah and Tim had one of the most special ceremonies that we’ve had the pleasure of photographing. They were both so emotional throughout the entire ceremony and Tim was in tears even before his gorgeous bride had made her way down the isle – don’t know what it is but seeing a groom cry as his bride makes her way to take his hand is just so beautiful.

Sarah and Tim even wrote their own vows which was very sweet. There probably aren’t the words to explain how special their ceremony was so we’ll let the photos do the talking….they certainly speak a thousand words.

After the group/family shots were taken, we made a quick dash up to Jolly’s lookout to capture some location photos. It was a really great spot for photos with a gorgeous backdrop overlooking the Samford Valley.

We had a fantastic time photographing Sarah and Tim’s wedding and we hope you enjoy the sneak peak at their images below.

On a special note to Sarah and Tim – Guys, we wish you all the very very best in your married life together and we hope that all of your dreams are realised. Thanks again for allowing us the honor of being part of your wedding day.

Tina & Nigel

It was a perfect Autumn afternoon and we headed down to the Brisbane Botanical Gardens to capture some fun and romantic shots of the happy couple. We’ll be photographing Sarah and Tim’s wedding next month so watch this space for some more images of their special day.

Thanks for a fun afternoon guys.
