Misha & Pat's Wedding

Misha and Pat's video really shows how photography and video compliment each other, and how at Masterpieces we work together to capture all of your day's precious moments.  By choosing a company that does both you receive the knowledge and experience of people who work together everyday to achieve gorgeous imagery.  Call 1300 55 10 63 to request a DVD sample.

As Shandell, one of our clients, commented on seeing their video - "Amazing.  What a fantastic job! You captured 'Love'."

We are very priviledged to work with couples like Misha and Pat, who let us into their day, and show us the emotions that you feel on your Wedding Day.

Misha and Pat enjoyed a wonderful day full of emotion and beauty. Their ceremony and reception were held at Sails at Redcliffe, and the day although starting a little windy, turn out perfectly. Their images and video were so good it inspired us to combine the two elements for an overall picture of what we do. It was so hard to reduce the footage to a size for the internet, but you can request a copy of the full 15 minute version.  

We had a fantastic time working with this couple, and I think the video and images show the connection. Thanks for letting us play our part in your very special day. Misha and Pat are soon moving to Victoria, and have the wonderful news that they are expecting. We wish you all the very best in your future together.

Lauren & Ben's Wedding

Lauren & Ben had an amazing day.  The weather was perfect, and they were very adventurous with great family and friends who helped in their photo session.

Last year we photographed Lauren's brother's wedding, and it was wonderful to see their family again, and catch up a little on how they were going.

Lauren looked stunning, and was very relaxed and great to work with.  We took the before shots at 

her mum's place, which has amazing views over the valley.

The ceremony was held at the Laidley Lutheran Church.  Then off to Mount Walker for the photography session at the best man's parent's farm.  Friends had bought the couple's horses, and groomed them ready for our photos.  The photos are fantastic with the horses performing beautifully.  

Next it was the Rosewood Show Hall for the reception, where the speeches were very entertaining, including Lauren's fairy tale story of meeting her prince charming.

It was a great pleasure to be part of Lauren and Ben's day.  The video is being worked on, and will be uploaded once complete.  Thanks for letting us be part of your special day, and good luck in your future life together.

What a Weekend - Ideal Bride Wedding Expo

Wow... what a full on weekend. I had a fantastic time talking to brides, some who had just got engaged (the night before for one lucky lady), to others who had been together for years, but are making the preparation for a gorgeous wedding.

I am looking forward to meeting up with so many of you to discuss your day further. The expos are so busy it's had to tell you everything we offer, and show you all of our images in such a short amount of time.

By the Sunday my head was spinning with so many wedding and ideas. I loved some of the dresses in the fashion parade, and am now looking for an event to justify purchasing one or two of them.

Please double check with us about our available dates, as a few more have now been taken. The fast half of our 2010 calendar is now extremely busy.

I look forward to hearing from you, and hearing how you found the expo.

Melissa & David's Wedding

Melissa & David chose a gorgeous winter's day. The sun shone, and the sky was that amazing blue I think you only get in Queensland. Unfortunately the wind did pick up a little, and it was quite chilling, but Melissa was fantastic. Without complaint she worked tireless with all of our suggestions, and made some great ones of her own. 

After a chilly photo session we all were happy to arrive at the Burke and Wills for the reception.

Thanks to Melissa, David and all of the bridal party for finding the warmth from within, and helping us to capture stunning imagery, and as well as some fun and touching moments for your video.

The Face of 09

Once again we have been invloved Kelli's Daisy Designs Face of 2009. For the girls involved it was the opportunity of a lifetime to really learn about themselves and the world of modelling with workshops on hair, make-up, deportment and self-development. We run a workshop designed to show the girls how to get the most of getting their photograph taken. It's about putting yourself out there and trying your hardest.

The whole event culminated with the gala finale evening in front of nearly 300 people with great entertainment and fabulous staging. Veetone did a wonderful job with the sound, lighting and video and Ben & Stephen from the Knighthawks provided a great spectacle with their laser show before the girls did everyone proud with their catwalks.

We awarded Krysal Miss Photogenic, and she wins a photo shoot, while the winner, Tayla gets an amazing photo shoot including makeup. Take the time to check out Grace's photo shoot from last year. She really made the most of it and the results speak for themselves.

Congratulations to Tayla!

Keep a look out as I will add a few more snippets from the evening.

Kyra & Daniel's Wedding

Saturday 16th May saw a team of 4 (2 photographers and 2 videographers) head up to Toowoomba for Kyra & Daniel's Wedding. Despite few dramas in the week leading up to the ceremony, Kyra was totally relaxed on the day and looked stunning with hair by fabulously talented Wendy at Holistic Hair Circle and great makeup by Paige at Faces by Paige. 

We did the pre-wedding footage at Kyra's parents' beautiful home and then headed up to Gips in Toowoomba for the ceremony and reception. Gips is a great location and after a lovely ceremony we headed off for some great photos around the town. With choosing an early ceremony (so important in the winter months) 

Kyra & Daniel had loads of time to enjoy their photos, with plenty of time to relax and enjoy each other's company which we always feel is essential and so much more relaxing than dashing around madly from location to location. We went to the beautiful Laurel bank Park, then onto the Toowoomba railway station before finishing up at the Old Council Chambers for some twilight shots. Gips then put on a marvelous reception (excellent food as always!!) and Kyra & Daniel enjoyed a great evening with their guests. Another fantastic day for us.  Thanks to Kyra & Daniel for letting us be part of their day.
