The City of Lights laser show is like nothing ever seen before in Australia. Banks of powerful lasers and lights are sitting atop of several prominent buildings along the river. Lights also line the Victoria Bridge which are all synchronised to a great soundtrack. We saw the show on a Thursday night and it was pretty easy to find a grassy spot to sit down and watch the show. If you are in Brisbane I recommend to get along and see it.

The show starts at 7pm and 8pm each night from the 4th Sepember 2011 to the 24th September.

Make sure you watch the video below at the highest resolution you can.

Enjoy

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.

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.

Today we met up with the lovely Sarah and Tim for their E-shoot. 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.

After months and months of planning, Lauren and Mick’s big day was finally here on Saturday 17 April.

We first met the happy couple mid last year and following a change of plans due to venue issues, Mick contacted us to advise that they were considering having their reception and location pics at Seaworld. We thought that would be a fantastic spot and could not wait to photograph their wedding.

The big day started out with some shots of Mick and the boys getting ready at Mick’s parent’s house in Wishart. After a few games of pool, it was time to get ready and then head outside to take some shots of the boys with Mick’s beloved race car. We even managed to do a “Stig” impersonation – which was hilarious.

After we’d spent plenty of time mucking about with the boys, we headed over to meet up with Lauren and her bridesmaids. Lauren was super excited when we arrived and the nerves certainly started to set in once Lauren was in that beautiful dress. Once the lovely ladies were all ready, it was time for us to head over to the church to get a few more images of Mick while he was patiently waiting for his gorgeous bride to arrive.

The ceremony was held at the Our Lady of Graces in Carina and once the vows had been exchanged, there were congratulations all round.

Following the family photos, we headed off to meet with the lovely Heidi at Seaworld to commence the location photos. The first stop at Seaworld was to have photos taken in Dolphin Cove and we have to say, the Dolphins were absolutely gorgeous. The Dolphin shots were an unreal experience.

We truly enjoyed spending the day with Lauren, Mick and their bridal party and we were well entertained in the booth with the funny poses for pics and great moves on the dance floor

We’d like to again thank Lauren and Mick for allowing us to capture their wedding day and we wish them all the happiness for their future together.

Enjoy the sneak peak below!

 

We had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Peta and Abs on Saturday 10 April.

The happy couple decided to hold their ceremony and reception at Giannis Portside and not only did they have their family and friends there to witness their vows but an entire P&O cruise liner. They certainly received a huge round of applause!

Following the ceremony, we headed off to Captain Burke Park for some location pics and then over to Wilsons Lookout to capture the Story Bridge at night.

We’d like to congratulate Peta and Abs and hope you enjoy the sneak peak at their photos.

Check out the hair on the make up artist!!!

 

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!

 

I had a call from Quest News last week requesting an image from a recent wedding.

The crew from Brisbane River Dragons paddled Desney to her waiting Groom, Maeli, at Comslie Beach Reserve on the 24th October 2009. A photo from the day was pictured in the Southern Star on the 4th November 2009.

Check it out.
