Tiffany + Nick Celebrate a Beautiful Day

Tiffany and Nick enjoyed a wonderful day n the Lockyer Valley. The start of spring bought stunning weather.  The day was just perfect. I was on second camera with Dave, which Ilove as we have the opportnity to do somuch more.  We ended up with so many gorgeous shots, and it was such a pleasure to shoot.  Thanks to Tiffany, Nick and their families for allowing us to capture this special day.

 

Angela & Brian's City Wedding

Angela & Brian enjoyed one of the most beautiful Winter days in a long time. The weather was perfect. Angela looked stunning in an amazing gown made by her mother. Getting ready in the family home was important, and although it was a little limited on space we still captured some gorgeous moments with family and friends.


The ceremony took place in the cente of Brisbane at the Albert Street Uniting Church and conducted by a friend of the bride's. The service was lovely with little personal touches that only happen when the priest is so well known to the couple.

This was a huge occasion for the couple with Brian moving to Australia from the US, and many family members travelling to take part.  The photography session was at Roma Street Parklands, and the ceremony followed at Gambaro's in Caxton Street.

Watch this highlight film to see just a glimpse of the wonderful day.
 

In love with Port Douglas

On our recent trip we visited Port Douglas. I can't believe I haven't been there before. Although it is a bit of a long haul to get there, it is certainly worth it. The weather was fantastic.  Not too hot, but stunning sunshine. Here's a little glimpse of what we saw.

As we walked around the lovely tourist precinct filled with cafes and shops we saw the beautiful St Mary's by the Sea - just perfect for a destination wedding.



Indulging my sweet tooth

I'll take just about any opportunity to indulge my sweet tooth.  So when our six year old asked for some Mashmellows it seemed like a fun project for us to work together and to photograph them.

Naturally we didn't have long, as they slowly started to disappear.

More than just great images

Choosing a professional photographer isn't just about amazing images.  Of course that's a huge part of it - knowing you are going to get stunning and unique memories of your day, not just the sort of everyday shot Uncle Fred could capture. But there's more to it than that - your photographer will be a wealth of knowledge about Weddings because they will have attended so many and have probably seen just about everything you could imagine. That advice and expertise, especially regarding the timing of the day, comes free of charge from a supplier whose only aim is to make sure you to have the most relaxed and enjoyable day so that he, or she, can capture those magical moments for eternity.

We like to meet up with our couples in the lead up to the big day.  Firstly for an E-Shoot about 3-6 months before the wedding.  This is a photo shoot that allows us to get to know each other a little better, and also get rid of the nerves you may have in front of the camera. Many of our photographic packages include this shoot in the price, but it is a fairly cheap and worthwhile addition to any package.  We provide an online viewing album for you to view the images, and you can purchase any you may like as prints, canvases, maybe an photo album, or for use in stationery or guestbooks for the wedding.

A week or two before your special day we meet up again. This time it is to go through the final timings of the day, and all the little details you have planned.  The more you tell us, the easier it is for us to capture all of the moments important to you.  Having fun, and capturing great images on your day is about doing the preparation, and allowing plenty of time - after all, the more time we have, the more choice of shots you will have.

Look through our blog articles.  They will show you our style of photography and filming. Our work is an art form, and we work hard to provide the best possible images - still or moving - from your day. We absolutely love what we do, and the greatest satisfaction we receive is from our clients and their responses to our work.

"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."

Make a time to talk about your special day, and how we can help capture all the precious moments as they unfold.
