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.

The big day finally arrived for Kylie and Mark on Saturday 20 February 2010.

We started out the day with the girls at the Marriott Hotel before heading over to Brents at Toowong to meet up with Mark while he was waiting for his gorgeous bride to arrive.

Kylie and Mark’s wedding ceremony was one to remember, especially with Mark signing a personalised version of “Feels Like Home” to Kylie as she walked down the isle. This was a huge surprise for Kylie and was absolutely beautiful. The happy couple also kept their vows a secret and it was magic watching their faces as they heard each others words for the first time.

Following the ceremony, we headed off to UQ at St Lucia for some location photos.  This is a gorgeous spot for location photos and I think the images speak for themselves.

The reception was also held at Brents Restaurant and everyone had a fabulous evening.  The speeches were great,  the food was fantastic and the irish band/dancing….just perfect.

We’d also like to say a special thanks to Jason from City Coast Limousines and Brent/Alex and the staff at Brents.

Kylie and Mark,  we wish you every happiness in your life together and we hope that your images bring you joy for years to come.  Congrats guys!

 

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.

 

Well it was a another bright sunny day in Rockhampton on Friday 11th September and it was also the day that Cathy and Joe tied the knot. Cathy and Joe decided to have their wedding ceremony at the Rockhampton Heritage Village and this was also the spot for their location photos and reception. We certainly had a great time photographing their wedding and it was our first wedding where we were guests as well as the pro photographers.

We’d like to wish Cathy and Joe all the very best for their future together and here are a few quick pics from the day.

 

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.

 

A gorgeous 4th July afternoon at Mooloolaba set the scene for the wedding of the lovely Suzy and Fred. The happy couple decided to hold their ceremony at the See Plus Function Centre followed by a reception on Australia Zoo’s whale watching boat, Steve’s Whale One. Following a beautiful ceremony, we wandered over to a small park adjoining the Marina for some location photos before boarding Steve’s Whale One for a wonderful reception as the sun slowly set over the mainland.

We’d like to thank Suzy and Fred for allowing us to be part of their special day and we hope you enjoy the sneak peak at some of their images.

 

Libby and Sean decided to hold their wedding ceremony on Sunday 12 April at the Albert St Uniting Church followed with a reception at the Royal on the Park.  The church itself was stunning and the staff at the Royal on the Park did a fabulous job. While the day did start out with a bit of rain, it cleared up for what ended up being a lovely afternoon.

Tina (my wife and assistant photographer) managed to gain approval to take some photographs at Parliament House and it really made for some gorgeous shots.  The rest of our location spots were within the Brisbane City Gardens and finally along Eagle St Pier for a few night shots in front of the Story Bridge.

Overall,  a great day was had by all and we’d like to thank Libby and Sean for allowing us to be part of their day.  We wish you every success in your married life together and hope you enjoy your photos.

 

Well, they say its “good luck” if it rains on your wedding day and the lovely Nigel and Trudy are sure to have “good luck” for life following the amount of rain that fell on their special day.  Nigel and Trudy were married in Noosa on Thursday 2 April and had planned to tie the knot at Hidden Grove.  Unfortunately the rain didn’t ease up and a very cool, calm and collected Trudy decided to postpone the ceremony for a few hours and relocate her family and friends to Ricky’s River Bar & Restaurant.  The rain didn’t stop Nigel and Trudy from having a beautiful ceremony and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.  Following hugs and kisses from family and friends, the rain eased for about 1 hour allowing us to quickly pop out for some location photos.

Guys,  despite the rain,  it was a beautiful wedding and we were honoured to be part of your special day.
