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!

Laura and Nathan were married on Friday 16 October at the beautiful Glengariff Estate, Dayboro.
Following the dust storms in the south east, we were a little worried about the haze that we’d noticed only a few weeks before during our trip to Dayboro however Laura and Nathan’s wedding day was perfect. Bright blue skies and just a little breeze to help keep everyone cool. Although, poor Nathan certainly felt the heat whilst he was waiting for his lovely bride to be.
The girls decided to get ready at a local Bed and Breakfast called Kirnicama B&B. This was a great spot with little houses scattered amongst the rolling hills of Dayboro.
Laura looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown and the look on Nathan’s face as Laura walked down the isle said it all.
After the happy couple said their vows, we quickly organised the group and family pics and then we were off to get some photos of the bridal party amongst the Glengariff Vineyard.
We only had around 30min of light to photograph the happy couple so it was rush rush rush. Lucky we had such a relaxed bride and groom.
Once the sun had disappeared, we headed back up to the ceremony area for a few last minute shots and then the bride and groom re-joined their family and friends to celebrate at their reception.
We had a great time photographing Laura and Nathan and we hope you enjoy these images from their special day.

We were off to Rockhampton again this past weekend to photograph the wedding of Karlie and Luke on Saturday 10th October.
Karlie and Luke decided to hold their ceremony and reception at the gorgeous Kershaw House. This has to be one of the best spots in Rockhampton and the owners of Kershaw House should be very proud of what they have achieved. Anyway, enough about the location and more about our lovely couple.
We arrived in Rockhampton early Saturday morning and then headed out to Karlie’s parent’s house at Laurel Banks. Ian and Donna welcomed us into there home and we were so surprised to see that everyone was very well organised. Usually there is still a flurry of activity with hair/make up and bridesmaids getting ready.
One of the very first things we noticed was Karlie’s gorgeous wedding dress hanging from the bed frame in one of the large open bedrooms. The dress was absolutely beautiful with stunning lacework and of course, Tina couldn’t wait to see Karlie in her dress.
After plenty of pre-wedding photos of Karlie and a glass of champagne to calm the nerves, we were off to Kershaw House to get some shots of Luke and his groomsmen.
The boys were waiting patiently when we arrived and we even caught Luke taking a sneak peak at his watch to check the time. Brides are meant to be late – its tradition!
Karlie and Luke had a beautiful ceremony and you could truly see the joy on their faces as they both said their i-dos.
Following the ceremony and family photos, we headed off to the Kershaw Gardens for some location photos, followed by Customs House and then the Range for sunset. We literally had the bridal party jumping out of their cars for the sunset photos as the sun had only minutes before it disappeared behind the mountains.
We had an absolute blast spending the day with Karlie, Luke, Yasmine, Amy, Andrew and Cameron. We wish you guys all the very best for your future together and we hope you have a fantastic honeymoon.
Here is a sneak peak at your wedding pics. Enjoy!

Dani and Dude (also known as Justin) decided to tie the knot on Saturday 29th August at the Laurel Banks Ski Gardens, Rockhampton. The day was very significant to Dani as herself and Dude celebrated having been together for 10 years during the week and it was also her gorgeous little granddaughter’s second birthday.
Dani was so relaxed on the day and you could truly see that she was about to marry her very best friend – Dude. We thought it was lovely to hear Dani saying that she couldn’t wait to marry him.
After prep photos, we headed out to take a few quick photos of Dude and his groomsmen before Dani arrived. Dani was very adamant not to be late.
The Laurel Banks Ski Gardens was just beautiful, the Fitzroy river in the background and gorgeous big old gum trees surrounded the ceremony location.
After Dani and Dude said their I do’s, we headed off for some location photos. Dani had something special in store for us and they didn’t want the normal garden/beach type location photos instead, Dani took us to her friends house just outside of Rockhampton. The house was unbelievable, like something out of a country and western movie. The house was massive with stacks of memorabilia inside and the biggest pool table we’d ever seen. Even the fireplace had a set of Mac truck leaf springs holding the brickwork up.
We had a really great day photographing Dani and Dude’s wedding and we hope you enjoy a sneak peak at their pics.
