Natalie & Chris' Wedding at the Gold Coast

Natalie and Chris were married at the beautiful Glades Golf Course at Robina on the Gold Coast. 


The weather did threaten for much of the day, but the rain held out for a lovely ceremony out on the stunning green lawn overlooking the water.


Watching Natalie and Chris it wouldn't have mattered what the weather was like.  Their smiles and joy on the face of family and friends showed they were all enjoying the day!

Melina & Adrian's Wedding at Kangaroo Point

Melina and Adrian choose the beautiful St Mary's Church at Kangaroo Point, with it's history dating back 155 years, and the stunning sandstone construction it's a gorgeous church.  Unfortunately the weather didn't work with us, and it rained for most of the day.  However that didn't effect the touching ceremony in the sanctuary of the church.


Melina and her bridesmaid contacted us at the last minute to capture their ceremony. Here are the highlights:

Greer & Glen's E-Shoot at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens

Greer and Glen chose a gorgeous day to have their E-Shoot.  They started out a little apprehensive, but soon realised it was fun to play the star, and we created some fantastic images.  Now I can't wait until their wedding day in October.  They are getting married by the beach, so we chose the Brisbane City Botancial Gardens for the E-Shoot for a different look.  The day was spectacular and we all enjoyed getting to know each other a little better.

Thanks for making it so easy.

Ros & Cameryn's Wedding at St Lucia

A week before Ros and Cameron's wedding the weather forecasters were predicting rain.  They stuck with this prediction, and for once, we really hoped they wouldn't be, but they were right. Friday was raining and overcast.  The kind of set in rain you really don't want.  However with a few minor adjustments the day was perfect.  Choosing a venue like Hillstone, at St Lucia,  helped take the pressure off the couple with arrangements made by Hillstone staff to cater for the inclement weather.

Dave & I arrived at the Stamford Plaza for pre-wedding photography of Ros.  The combination of Ros's excitement (and a little bit of nerves) with the gorgeous backdrop of the Stamford meant we stayed dry and warm, and the resulting images are outstanding.

We then moved on to Hillstone for the ceremony.  Ros arrived in style in classic Jaguars from Kenz Classic Cars.  We witness a totally touching ceremony, and then off to The University of Queensland for the 'formal' photography session.

By this stage the weather had lifted just enough that we could work around without getting wet.  The Great Court was a stunning backdrop and just the spot to pop open a bottle of champange.

As the sun was setting we headed back to Hillstone for the reception.  We had just enough time to shoot a couple of night shots there before Ros and Cameron were announced into the beautiful Rosewood Room.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day.  It was amazing!

Sarah & Paul's Wedding at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast

Sarah & Paul celebrated their day with the ceremony and reception at Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.

Joining them were family and friends, most of whom had travelled from the UK or Ireland, making the day even more touching and emotional.
A fantastic day was had by all, and I'm certain the dance floor was humming into the wee hours.
Thanks for letting us be part of your day.

Behind the Scenes at Michelle & Dave's Mt Tamborine Wedding

Here's a look behind the scenes at Michelle and Dave's wedding recently at Mt Tamborine. It was a beautiful day, and a real pleasure to work with this couple. Their vows included a pinkie swear, and promises about the television and the washing. They had an awesome day, and the photos are truly sensational.
This is part 1, more to follow soon.

Behind the scenes at our green screen event

Recently we worked with Loud Events at the opening of Enerflex's new building in Eaglefarm.  It was a great afternoon with over 150 guests enjoying the activities on offer, including the opportunity to have their photograph taken on our green screen, and then magically appear at one the Enerflex's new project sites.  The huge factory space was transformed with performers acrobatically decending from the roof, and balancing on suspended hoops.  Stephen Robertson MP, Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy and Minister for Trade officially opened the building, and the festivities continued.

Here's a sneak peek behind the scenes, and then a little snippet of the actual event.



Thanks to Helena and the team at Loud Events - another awesome event.

Sarah & Paul's Wedding - a little snippet

I love how video transforms the simple into something exciting, and memorable.  The mix of movement and music helps us to relive moments that are fleeting, and sometimes forgotten.

Here Paul walks, with his entourage of family and friends in the bridal party, to the gorgeous chapel at Royal Pines Resort, on the Gold Coast, to exchange vows with Sarah, and make their promises to each other.

Fairytale Weddings

Every wedding day has it's highs and lows.  The anxious wait as hair and make up are done.  Watching your friends and family transform from the everyday to their very best for your big day.  And the moment you look in the mirror to see the full bridal gown with all the accessories, make up, hair and everything you have planned for what seems like such a long time.  The realisation that today is your day, and the time is now. When your mum, or maybe your dad looks away because a tear is about to escape down their cheek. Each moment comes and goes so quickly. At Masterpieces we excel at making those moments turn into lifelong memories with photographs, and moving images.

Here are Sarah & Paul at Royal Pines Resort at the Gold Coast - where a short stroll was their first moment alone since saying their vows.

Talk to us now about how we can turn your special day into a reality.

Henry Roth New collection

I love the idea that the bride treats the aisle as their own personal runway. With gowns from $800 to $1800 you just have to have a look!

Behind the scenes at Kylie & Kai's Wedding on the Gold Coast

At one of our recent weddings at the Gold Coast I went along with a handy cam to shoot a behind the scenes look at a wedding.  You can see a little of how Dave captures the couple, their friends and family, and makes the best use of the light and surrounds.


I had fun shooting this little clip and helping out with a second camera angle. Hopefully you can see the energy and spirit we bring to the day. From our perspective the more you are having fun, laughing and enjoying your family and friends' company the better the photographs and video.
When shooting we really aim to capture the couple naturally.  To see them reacting to each other.  We really want to capture the emotion of the day.


The venue was the fantastic Royal Pines Resort, where the ceremony and reception took place.  We made a quick dash over to Broadbeach for a photo session on the beach.  The sunset was brilliant and the colours in the sky made for a very dramatic backdrop.


So here's a little snippet of how a day progresses from our perspective.

Masterpieces Wedding Video Snapshot for Brisbane and SE Qld

Here's a little clip I put together from lots of the weddings we have covered, featuring Kahlia and Aaron's day from last month.  I love their vows, which were said with such emotion.  The perfect story to tell, with the imagery adding to the fun, and excitement of the day.


I have used a mix of photography and video for the finale of this clip. The day really does just go by in a flash. Choosing Masterpieces for your photography and video means you have a lasting memory that you will cherish.

Christie and Brad's Wedding

We had a great day with Christie, Brad and their family and friends.  The weather may have been a bit soggy, and a few changes to locations may have happened, but it was all perfect.

I shot second camera to Dave, and they have a fantastic range of images.  Dalby has never looked so green after all of the rain.  Although we were a little worried about getting back home that night.

One of my favourite images.  Christie and Brad walked through mud to get to this beautiful spot by the river.  Well worth it!

Tayla's Portfolio Shoot

We had a fantastic shoot with Tayla.  She was so easy to work with, and we achieved some great and really different looks in one session.

This is my absoute favourite - gorgeous!  Simple, classic and so powerful.

Bianca & Chris's Wedding

Bianca and Chris's wedding took place earlier in the year. Dave and I worked together, and the imagery was amazing. A little rain shower kept us under shelter for a little while, but the sky was so dramatic.

Happy Clients

We work very hard on every image and all the video footage we take to make memorable photographs, and films for our couples.  However the best part of our work is when we know we made a couple feel all of their emotions again just looking at an image, or watching their wedding film.  So we were really happy to receive a thank you email from Karen and Kevin who were married earlier in the year.

"We just wanted to let you know that we have recieved the DVDs and watching it was just priceless.  We enjoyed every moment it made us smile, laugh and cry, thank you so much it was fabulous and we are very happy."
