Tara and Adam chose to have their lovely ceremony under a grove of trees in the Roma St Parklands. The bonus of this venue was that Tara was able to include her adorable dog Lucy in the proceedings! It also made a great location for some photo fun afterwards before heading to a few other city locations nearby.

We then returned to the Urban Hotel’s 10th floor Panorama room for the reception. With an amazing sweeping view of the Brisbane skyline, I couldn’t think of a better place to have a  new years eve reception while also having a great vantage point to watch the fireworks at the end of the night.

Their puppy Lucy was very happy to be involved

This is the wedding of Katrina & Paul who were recently married at Marymac church Annerley with their reception held at the emporium hotel.

Once again the weather was not particularly kind to Katrina and Paul’s big day, but a fun time was still had by all.

I loved Katrina’s shoes

The boys decided to have a little nerve settler before heading to the church

Katrina’s father watching her arrive at the church

We had a little fun exploring some spots in the church while waiting for the torrential downpour to ease outside..

We ended up at one of the groomsmen’s house which had a not too shabby view of the city

The party moved inside

Some details from the Christmas themed reception!

Merry Christmas!!!

First up is the wedding of Julia and Mark, who were married at Our Lady of Victories Church in Bowen Hills.

The day was a little dark and stormy, but Julie and Mark didn’t let that affect them. They were both super excited and glad to be finally having their big day.

Their reception was held in the beautiful Strangers dining room within the QLD Parliament building, complete with a great Christmas tree to suit the festive season.

Puss kept a close eye on proceedings..

Julia’s dad looking very proud

I love this little series

A little bit random..but I like it

‘Someone’ accidentally forgot to bring the buttonhole floweres..

Some reception details:

They chose to have their wedding ceremony in the relaxed setting of New Farm Park. Following the ceremony, everyone enjoyed the afternoon with drinks and live music in the park. Susan and David really wanted their day to be a fun relaxing afternoon amongst their friends.

We did manage to sneak away for a quick photo shoot in the park and surrounds before heading to the reception also held at the nearby Watt restaurant at the Powerhouse.

Susan had a stunning Vera Wang dress

Many of Susan’s close friends made the trip down from the UK and were there in the morning to calm any nerves

I loved Dave’s Spirit level cuff links

Their day was a little bit different in that the morning started with their lovely ceremony held by the lake at the Royal Pines resort. We then headed inside the resort for the lunchtime reception.

After the fun of the reception was over we then headed off for some photos before finishing the day with a Traditional Tea ceremony for Steven’s side of the family.

The whole day was a lot of fun and we even managed to dodge all of the nasty weather (Yay!!)

Following the ceremony Grace ducked upstairs for a makeup touch up, which gave me the chance to grab some quick bridal shots

Some reception details:

There were quite a few fun games played during the reception:

I love tea ceremonies

The lush vines provided the perfect backdrop for Skye and Mike to say their vows. They also provided a great place to have fun afterwards while taking photos.

Everyone then made their way up to the Barrel room set in the cellar, for the reception.

It was a perfect day for a beautiful beachside wedding ceremony. Brooke & Cameron exchange vows under the pandanus trees overlooking the ocean in a lovely ceremony.

We then went to a few of North Stradebroke’s spectacular beaches and lookouts for photos before heading to the reception held at the Stradebroke Isalnd Beach Hotel.

A nice view to take in while getting ready

The little flowergirl was just so adorable..

Dad was extremely proud

I love when there are lots of flowers at the ceremony

Kids, don’t try this at home..

Some reception details

I could just tell from the start of the day that they were both very excited that the day had come and were looking forward to tying the knot in front of close friends and family. They chose the magnificent Cathedral of St Stephen in the city to exchange their vows. We then went to a few of their favourite places in the New Farm area that they love to call home.

We got back to the Stamford Plaza for the reception just in time, before a storm came rolling in. Providing a great lightning display over the river and Story bridge as a backdrop to the reception festivities.

I loved Kimberley’s Blue shoes and Darb Dress

And what better place to have a relaxed wedding with close friends and family hey? And that is just what Andrea and Jon thought when they decided to have their wedding  by the beach at Noosa.

Both Andrea and Jon now call Wagga Wagga in NSW home, but have a close attachment to the sun and surf of the sunshine state, so it made perfect sense to have their special day up here.

The ceremony took place in the Groves behind Noosa Beach.Following which, the guests were treated to a relaxing Noosa river cruise while  the bridal party went off and explored the many great beaches and coves for photos.

Every body then met up for a great reception at Trios on the River at the Noosa Marina.
