Top Tips for Your Wedding - Who Pays for What?

Everyone is different. Who pays for what may be decided by your heritage, family circumstances, as well as your finances.  History may mean your family is willing to pay a certain budget, or for certain items.  If your sister had so much, you may expect the same.  It's very important to plan your budget right from the start.  This way you don't blow the budget before you have decided each element.


If you really want to follow Australian tradition the following is an excerpt from 'The Penguin Book of Etiquette' by Marion Von Adlerstein.

The Valiant

Recently we were at Dalby for Karen and Kevin's Wedding.  They had wanted to make the most of Kevin's Valiant, and had organised four in total, through the help of their car club.  I thought the footage could have come straight from the 1960s so have played a little to take Karen and Kevin back in time.
We were lucky enough to have a gorgeous backdrop thanks to Kevin's boss.  It fits in perfectly.
Hope you enjoy.  I certainly had fun putting together.

Timing Tips for your Wedding Photography

One of the important elements of your Wedding Photography is timing, and not all couples want the same thing. Depending on the number of locations and how far apart your locations are can play a vital role in enjoying your Photo Session, and getting the most out of your day.

Here are some important questions to contemplate:

How long do you want to spend doing your location photographs?
How far away are the ceremony and reception venues?
How much travel time do you need to allow?
Would you like to go to more than one location for your photos?
What time is sunset?
What time are you expected to enter at the reception?

It is really important to discuss your expectations and timings with your photographer.  The more your photographer understands about your day the more satisfied you will be.

Call us to discuss your Wedding Photography and Video requirements.  We love to assist in making your day the best it can be.

Joanne & Luke's Wedding

Here's the first installment of Joanne and Luke's Wedding Day. If you move on through my blog you can see more, with the amazing fireworks display. Yes - I couldn't wait to work on that one.

Getting ready with Joanne, her bridesmaids and mum was great fun. We were very privileged to share this time, and Palazzo Versace was a gorgeous backdrop to the stunning bride.

Check out David's blog for more images of the day.

Christa & Tim's Wedding in Toowoomba

Christa and Tim enjoyed a wonderful day. The ceremony took place at St Thomas Mores, and we went to the Toowoomba Showgrounds for the photo session, then to Picnic Point for more photos, and the reception.

At our pre-wedding consult the week before the wedding Christa and Tim did scare me a little when they told me they hated their photos being taken. As you can see the camera doesn't agree. They have some absolutely beautiful images, and we all enjoyed the day so much.
















I love this image. It was one of the last of the night, and everyone was ready to start the party. The bridal party were amazing all day.



Congratulations Christa and Tim. Thanks for letting me capture your day. So many of the images are now my all time favourites.

Luke's fireworks surprise for Joanne

Joanne and Luke enjoyed a magical day. Starting with Joanne getting ready at Palazzo Versace, with family and friends, and then to Hope Island Resort for the ceremony and reception. If that wasn't perfect already Luke out did himself by organising a fireworks display as a surprise. We were part of the plan, and all the guests were shepherded outside for a group photo. Once everyone was in place the stunning fireworks display started. As you will see Joanne was definitely surprised, as were all of the couples' family and friends.

Normally I start at the beginning when putting the video together, but I had to fast forward to end for this one. I will be uploading additional footage from the day, but couldn't wait to show this.
