Amanda & Danny's Wedding

I was so fortunate to play a part in Amanda & Danny's perfect day.  The weather was glorious, and the location at Toparies at Beaumont, overlooking the Samford Valley, was just stunning.  Amanda looked absolutely gorgeous.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day.

As much as we work hard to make a fantastic wedding film it's brilliant to know our couples love what we do.

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for producing the most wonderful wedding video for Danny and I. You successfully made me cry again as we watched our special day. Danny also had a few tears (very cute).
I couldn't have asked for a better video, we are rapt.
Thank you so much for creating this treasured memory for us.
I will be highly recommending you."

Jackie & Steve's Country Wedding

Earlier this year (last day I can say that) we photographed and filmed Jackie and Steve's special day at the Highfield's Pioneer Village just out of Toowoomba.  The wonderful couple enjoyed a fantastic day with family and friends.  Although there was the threat of rain, the weather was perfect.

Here's a little peek at their day:

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful clients, family and friends.  We have so enjoyed working with so many fantastic people this year, in gorgeous locations.  It has been an absolute pleasure!  I am looking forward to 2011, and to all of the weddings that are planned.  We love it when past couples come back, and we get to photograph their growing families, and we have done plenty of them in the past year.

So roll on 2011!

Here's an abridged version of 2010. Sent with all the best wishes for you and your family in the festive season.

Ideal Bride Magazine Photo Shoot

We had a great day with Mick, Barbara and the team from Ideal Bride on the recent photo shoot for the latest magazine.

Gorgeous models, stunning dresses, and a great location. Check it out:

Greer & Glen's Wedding at Currumbin

Earlier this month I was so happy to photograph Greer & Glen on their big day.  The weather was not at all what we had planned, but the Currumbin Surf Lifesaving Club provided a lovely setting, and Carly the functions manager was fantastic. 

Greer looked absolutely stunning, along with her gorgeous bridesmaids.  

The day was packed with fun and emotion. The red umbrella came in very handy, and has special significance to Greer & Glen. So it really couldn't have worked out better. 

Thanks to the lifesavers who got into the spirit of the day and helped to shelter our couple for a short walk on the beach.  Once they had their shoes off we managed to get them out on the beach, and some sand between their toes.

Thanks for letting me be a part in your day.

Jenny & Gavin's Wedding Toowoomba

We had a great day with Jenny and Gavin, and their family and friends. They choose the stunning St Stephen's in Toowoomba for their ceremony, and Highfields Cultural Centre for the reception. Gavin and many of his family and friends had travelled from country NSW for the big day. The festive feeling was certainly catching.

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 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.
