Wedding, Daniel & Leah, Gold Coast

Daniel & Leah were married at the Hinterland Baptist church, a cute little church at Worongary on the Gold Coast, with their reception at the Currumbin RSL club. Here are a few favorite pics from the day.

Leah had her hair and makeup done at Mackintosh college at Palm Beach.

Here’s Leah and Daniel just before they headed off to the ceremony location. They look relaxed, but there were definitely a few nerves floating around.

Isn’t this little guy just the cutest! Having a very sincere prayer during the service. And one of my all time favourite things to photograph at a wedding ceremony…a dove release! They always bring plenty of action and reactions to a photo, so if you’re considering using doves, I highly recommend it.

After the ceremony we headed up to Rosser Park at Ashmore and then to Currumbin for a relaxed photo session.

Wedding, Owen & Laura, Gold Coast

When I met with Owen and Laura at their place in Brisbane, I knew we were going to have an awesome time on their wedding day. They wanted their wedding photography to be fun, creative and not too traditional…now you’re talking our language!!

Owen had booked a unit in Surfers Paradise where he and the boys were planning on getting ready. When I arrived I found a very familiar sight… boys, beer, and slightly nervous groom-to-be. There was plenty of jokes and laughter and a generally light-hearted feel to the day… Surfers Paradise wedding photography

After I’d finished with the boys I headed over to the Royal Pines Resort, where Laura and the girls were having their hair and makeup done in the salon downstairs. I was greeted by no less than 4 hair & makeup artists busily at work with hair rollers, hair spray, lip gloss, mascara pencils and, of course, champagne glasses. We then went upstairs to the room to complete the preparations…

Their ceremony was held at the Sofitel in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast, in an outdoor area on the 3rd floor. Afterwards, we spent an hour or so cruising around in the Broadbeach mall taking cool photos. Here’s a couple of favs…

I couldn’t resist the old carousel in the mall…

I absolutely love how this next photo turned out, and so did Brad and Fiona.

Wedding, Steven & Brandie, Gold Coast

Steve & Brandie decided that the Gold Coast was the ideal location for their wedding. They chose Burleigh Headland as the location for their ceremony, and ‘Oskars on Burleigh’ for their reception venue. The day was perfect…a ceremony on the headland, the cool luv dubs to drive the bridal party around, and a very kind storm cloud that waited until 5 minutes after our location shoot, before dumping on us.

Here’s some photos from the day.

Brandie had a beautiful dress…

This delightful little flower girl was so tired that she fell asleep in Brandie’s hands whilst having her hair done. Too cute!

Here’s Wes from the Luv Dubs, up to his old tricks again!

Did I mention that I love Brandie’s dress!

Brandie found a bike that was identical to the one she used to ride when she was a little girl…

Wedding, Brad & Fiona, Gold Coast

When Brad and Fiona said they were getting married at Froggy Beach, I must say I was fairly excited. I’d always thought it would be a great location…a quiet little cove with a rocky outcrop, and waves gently lapping the shore, on the southern end of the Gold Coast. Sound like an awesome spot? Well, it was! Here’s a quick pic of the location…

Before the ceremony, Brad & Fiona had their preparations in separate rooms at Jupiters Casino, which was also the venue for their reception…Jupiters Casino wedding photographer

Fiona was looking radiant…Broadbeach wedding photographs

The ceremony was fantastic. Did I mention that Froggy Beach is a great spot for a beach wedding!? I love how this petal-throwing shot turned out.froggy beach wedding gold coast

After the ceremony, we found some beautiful light and a great location on the hill overlooking the beach.beach wedding photographer

Wedding, Brendan & Sarah, Sunshine Coast

The Sanctuary Venue on the beautiful Sunshine Coast was the location for Brendan & Sarah’s ceremony and reception. With only a few weeks until their wedding, Brendan was unexpectedly called overseas for work commitments, so the date had to be urgently brought forward. But with determination and an extra effort on everybody’s behalf, the day went ahead without a hitch.

Here are some photos from their special day…

I spent some time with the guys at a local skate park in Nambour. What a fantastic location for some stylish, urban photography. I really love using graffiti as a background with some muted colour processing.

Another one from the skate park.

After the ceremony, it was time to get a little creative. Brendan & Sarah wanted a bit of an urban look to their photos, so we found some great locations at Mooloolaba…

I love that backdrop. creative wedding sunshine coast

You wouldn’t normally think that a Hog’s Breath Cafe sign would be a great background for a wedding photo, but look at those colours!!! One of my favourites from the day.

Another fav. Right on sunset with a video light. Mooloolaba sure did offer us some variety for out location shoot.sunshine coast beach wedding

Brendan & Sarah decided to break tradition a bit, and have a donut cake. Makes you hungry just looking at it doesn’t it?

Brendan & Sarah, thanks heaps for letting us be a part of your wedding day. It was great to trade the Gold Coast for the Sunshine Coast for a day. We wish you the very best for your future together.
