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.

 

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.

 

For something different, last Friday night 21st August, I was dragged along by a friend to the final round of the Supercheap Drift Series in Queensland. Having never been to anything like this before I was unsure of what to expect. Once settled in and finding a relatively safe spot trackside I pulled out the camera and took some photos and a little HD video also.

Check it out.

Tina and I recently received some great feedback from Emma and Dan so we thought we’d add it to our blog.

We often tell people how much we love being wedding photographers and I guess the following feedback says it all.  Hope you enjoy the read.

Within 5 minutes of first meeting Nigel and Tina, we knew that we could trust them to capture our special day in photos. We felt instantly at ease with them, they were extremely easy to get along with yet professional. They were interested in getting to know us as a couple, so that they could clarify our vision for our wedding. They asked questions and helped bring together our hopes and dreams for our wedding day. They gave us great suggestions on how to achieve all the shots and styling that we wanted, got us organised for the day in thinking about who we wanted photographed and where we wanted our shots taken.

In the lead up to the wedding, we were put at ease by Nigel and Tina’s prompt responses to our queries, their ability to solve problems which invariably will arise during wedding planning and they always conducted themselves with integrity and excellence. I can say that deciding to engage NKN to do our wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding as it totally eradicated the stress and difficulties in that area and let us concentrate on organising other aspects of our wedding, like relatives!

On the day of the wedding, Nigel and Tina worked in seamlessly with myself and the bridesmaids and were a joy to have in amongst us whilst getting ready. They worked around my messy apartment and from the pictures they took, you would never know that I was getting ready in a half furnished run down apartment. I felt glamorous and at my best.

At the wedding I hardly even noticed that they were there snapping away as they weren’t intrusive or obvious at all, yet they managed to get really great photos of the ceremony, capturing the emotions, our guests and all the special parts of the service.

The location shoot that we planned in between the ceremony and the reception had to be one of my favourite times of the day. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and felt like my new husband & I got a chance to spend some time together, despite the fact that we were all the time being photographed! All of our wedding party commented on how much fun it was getting the group photographs done at the various locations we had selected before hand. It also helped greatly that Tina and Nigel were really well organised and had checked out the various sites prior to the wedding day. They knew what time sunset was and the best angles/lights etc. They also gave us handy hints for poses and things to help us look our best that didn’t feel forced or awkward. In fact from the photos, you can see that we looked really natural and vibrant.

We can’t recommend enough, having NKN stay around for your reception. We absolutely love the candid pictures taken of us and our guests during speeches, dancing, and dinner. Also, we set up a photo booth and our guests were able to go and get their photo taken with their partner or family members complete with props and dress ups. The results were fabulous.

Our album shows the story of our day and captures all the special people in our life. We look amazing and the shots are both artistic and descriptive of us as a couple. I could go on and on, about all the brilliant post wedding editing and contact we had with Nigel and Tina, but mostly Dan & I would just like to thankyou both for going above and beyond our expectations and continuing to impress us throughout the entire experience. We would not hesitate in commending you to anyone to photograph their wedding or other special occasion. It is evidence enough that everyone who we have shown our wedding album to has raved about how ours are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. We couldn’t agree more.

Thank you and God bless,
Emma & Dan Willmann.

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.

Emma and Dan tied the knot at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Woongoolba on the 28th March 2009. Locations photographs were taken from various locations throughout the Jacobs Well area from a quiet little beach to a broken down shack. It made for interesting photos. Once the location photos were done it was time for the party to begin. As we were requested to photograph the wedding reception, I decided to take some studio strobes along and setup a photo booth. It wasn’t long until there was a lineup for photos. Check out some of the antics below.

Thank-you to Emma and Dan for a great day. We had an absolute ball.

Enjoy your honeymoon.

Anita and Eddie tied the knot at St Peter’s Catholic Church, Rockhampton on the 14th March 2009. With the blue skies and the beautiful stonework of the church, it was a great location for the wedding. Location photographs were taken at the cement strip, Port Curtis and the Gavial Creek bridge, Rockhampton. Both locations gave a great country feel.

The reception was held at the stunning Kershaw House.

Sharon and Peter had their wedding ceremony and reception at Zanna’s, Montville. The location shots were taken with a perfect view of the Glasshouse Mountains from rolling green grassy hills. It was the perfect spot for photos, and popular for wedding photographers too as we found out. Here are some photos from the day.
