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!
For months now we’ve both been so excited about photographing the wedding of Maeli and Desney, and the day finally arrived on Saturday 24 October. We couldn’t wait to get the photography underway!
Desney had put so much thought into the planning for their special day and she had even organised with the Brisbane River Dragons to escort her to the ceremony location via outriggers up the Brisbane River.
We arrived to start the preperation photos with Desney and her girls just after lunch to find that poor Desney was so sick with a tummy bug. Although feeling very under the weather, Desney put on a brave face (such a trouper) and looked stunning in her wedding gown.
After spending an hour or so with the girls, it was off to the Colmslie Beach Reserve so that Desney and Jacob (son) could board the outriggers in preparation for heading to the ceremony location.
Maeli and his four groomsmen were waiting patiently when we arrived at the Colmslie Recreation Reserve and it was such a surprise for the wedding guests when they finally spotted Desney coming up the river. The sounding of a Conch shell and the calling from an Elder was such a beautiful touch to Desney’s entrance to the ceremony location.
Once Maeli and Desney were announced as husband and wife, we were off to the Colmslie Beach Reserve again for some location photos with the bridal party. This was such a great spot for pics and the rows of flowering Jacarandas made for some gorgeous photos.
We’d also like to make a special mention for Desney and Maeli’s limo driver from Brisbane VIP Limousines. The driver could not do enough for the bridal party and was fantastic to work with. Great choice guys!
After the sun had set, we were off to the HQ on Lytton to help Desney and Maeli celebrate at their reception. This was a great spot for the reception and we had so many guests coming up for photos in our little photobooth area.
We truly had a great day with Desney and Maeli and although we were there as the pro photographers, we were welcomed by everyone and felt just like one of the guests.
Guys, we wish you every happiness in your life together and we were honoured to be part of your special day. We hope your photographs help you remember all the special moments from the day you became husband and wife.
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.
