Sam & Maggie | Brisbane city wedding

After the awesome E-Shoot we did with Sam & Maggie, both Steve and I were super excited to shoot their wedding.

We started off with the boys before heading across to the girls for the getting ready shots and then into the Latrobe Chapel in Paddington for a very uplifting Ceremony. It was lovely to see the family & friends attending really enjoy and embrace Sam & Maggie’s ceremony with even the best man playing some songs to the couple to help celebrate.

After the ceremony we walked down to a Paddington Antique store.  It was so much fun exploring all the interesting pieces in the store and Sam and Maggie really did look in their element. After the Antique Store we ducked over to Kelvin Grove before onto the Reception at Mirra at Fortitude Valley for the reception.

Mirra is an exciting new venue with an awesome decor and great atmosphere, perfectly suited to Maggie and Sam. Brilliant little touches were added throughout the venue by Sam & Maggie: from an engagement canvas in the entrance, a quote from the day on removable stickers on the floor, amazing table decorations and atmospheric lighting… the place looked and felt amazing.

Congratulations again Sam and Maggie.

Some of the great reception details:

Bernadette + Grant

Getting quite behind in our blogging again… very naughty I know..

To make up for it we will be blogging two more weddings today and more to come shortly.

First up is Bernadette and Grant who were recently married at the Botanical Gardens in the city with their reception at the Bardon Conference Centre.

We could not stop these two from laughing the whole time of the shoot which made it a lot of fun for us!

After the ceremony which included a butterfly release where the butterflies were quite keen to stay with Bernie & Grant, we went for a wander through the uni and the Gardens before heading on to the reception.

Damaris + Nathan | Townsville Destination Wedding

I quite enjoy when I get the opportunity to shoot in places outside of my regular Brisbane, Gold Coast, Noosa region. Recently I flew up to Townsville to photograph the wedding of Damaris (Dee) and Nathan.

The ceremony was held in a beautiful grove at Queens Gardens. We then had a lot of fun driving around Townsville in beautifully restored American muscle cars and taking in the sights.

We then made our way to the reception where it was obvious that Dee and Nathan had put in so many personal touches to make the evening special for their guests. From a fully stocked Candy Bar, to an online web hookup to Vietnam so that Dee’s best friend could be part of the festivities.

I loved Nathan’s Lego cuff links :)



Some reception details

Kristie + Peter | Hillstone Wedding

I had the pleasure recently to photograph the wedding of Kristie and Peter. Kristie is the sister of another past bride Carly so it was a lot of fun to be involved with the family again.

The ceremony was held at Hillstone in St Lucia, we then took a quick trip to the University for photos before heading back to Hillstone for the reception festivities.


Alexei + Craig |Mount Tamborine Wedding

I recently travelled down to Mount Tamborine to photograph the wedding of the relaxed and fun loving Alexei & Craig.

Their ceremony, which had it’s fair share of laughter and warmth was held at Cedar Creek Lodges at the base of the mountain. We then went up the top of the mountain for some photos and to watch the sun set over the picturesque valley below, before heading back down to cedar creek lodges for the outdoor reception in the Island Glade.

I love a laughter filled ceremony

I loved that they danced to a Foo Fighter’s track played by their friend on guitar.

Victoria + Rhys | Customs House Wedding

Victoria and Rhys have a very special love for each other that is obvious from the moment you see them. I have been looking forward to capturing Victoria and Rhys’ special day for quite a while, as I knew it was going to be fun and heart felt.

They chose Broadway chapel for their ceremony, followed by the photo location shoot at UQ St Lucia as that is where they spent a lot of their years together.

The reception was then held at the always amazing Customs House in the city.

In a moment that I am sure they will look back and giggle at, at one stage during the ceremony, they had THREE celebrants!!  :)

I just love the feeling in this one:

Amanda + Matt | Burleigh Beach Wedding

Amanda and Matt had a relaxed intimate ceremony down at Burleigh Headland. With the aqua waves rolling by it was a beautiful setting for Amanda and Matt to formalize their relationship.

They then had their reception with close family and friends at Oskars on Burleigh.

I loved how happy they were all day.

Their son Nathan was the cute little ring bearer

I will soon have the honour of photographing all three sister’s weddings. I photographed Rebecca & Doug’s wedding about 3 years ago, and Jo’s wedding is coming up next year.

Moria + Lewis

So much to blog!….so little time!.. Wedding season is well and truly in full swing!

I photographed the wedding of Moria and Lewis recently. Moria is the mother of one of my past grooms ( Darren -from Darren and Lisa) So it was great to be part of this awesome family’s day again.

The wedding ceremony and reception was held at the very recently finished The Strand at Rugby Quay in brisbane city. The Strand has a beautiful view of the river and lights from the bridge and was the perfect venue for Moria and Lewis to celebrate their big day.

Moira’s boys walked her down the aisle

Kerrie + Isaac

I love when I get the chance to shoot the wedding of  friends of my previous couples. On this occasion I photographed the wedding of Kerrie and Isaac, good friends of Victoria and Michael whose wedding I photographed quite a few years ago.

You can tell just by chatting to them that Kerrie and Isaac have a powerful bond between them and it was a privilege to capture that bond on their special day.

Their wedding ceremony was held at the stately Old Government House . The Old Government House has recently undergone renovation and looked amazing. The beautiful afternoon light coming through the old windows added to the special atmosphere of the ceremony.

Following the ceremony we explored the building and surrounds further before heading to the reception held at Urban Hotel in Springhill. The cocktail style reception on the top floor had a spectacular view of the city and the setting sun and a great night ensued.

I thought this was funny, I get to the second story balcony for the group photo and look down upon….. a map of Australia!!???

I Love their combined signature!
