#1 Attraction in Noosa - Noosa Dreamboats

March 21, 2011 – 10:58 pm

Sandy and Michael recently posted a lovely few words about my wedding photography here - thank you just awesome. Of course I have nothing but fabulous things to say about them as well. I was lucky enough to photograph the first wedding ever with Noosa Dreamboats and it is always an absolute pleasure to cruise the Noosa river in first class style with skipper Michael. Thought I would post a couple of images of the ever-smiling man himself - assisting the brides, waving to every second person on the water (he seems to know everyone) and generally just doing what he loves to do. Seriously this is the BEST & ONLY way to travel in Noosa - some food for thought for all the lovely couples getting married in Noosa - or anyone looking for something exhilarating and different. Love your work guys.

5 Star Tropical Elegance in Noosa

March 11, 2011 – 8:56 pm

Julia and Stuart certainly had a fabulously stunning day. Julia’s dress to die for while the reception at Rickys, styled with a hint of vintage, looked amazing. Kim from Weddings of Noosa ensured everything was perfect - from stunning florals, drinks on the beach and cruising up the Noosa River at sunset. Such an honour to be the one to capture all the joy - wish you both nothing but bliss.

Jodi, They are just gorgeous, you absolutely captured the overwhelming joy and love of the day. You did an amazing job of doing so with out us even being aware. Stu and I rave about our experience with you (even before we saw the pics). Our friends have told us their experience with photos and it being long and tiring. We couldn’t even recall posing, just feeling great, laughing and having fun! We truly loved our time with you and our wedding party for the pics. You instantly made us feel comfortable. Thank You again Julia & Stuart

Louise + Terry - Spotted Chook Montville

February 24, 2011 – 3:22 pm

HAPPIEST BRIDE IN THE WORLD - seriously Louise smiled and laughed and thoroughly enjoyed her day like no other bride. I usually get extremely vervacious natural brides though Louise just took it to another level. Terry is english - they met in the UK - so lots of family and friends traveled to witness and take part in the celebration. Great location, good food and drinks, fabulous family and friends, stunnnnning wedding dress and you have a pearla wedding.

Jodi Thank you so much! They are spectacular! What a wonderful job you did. Everyone was really impressed with your lovely approach! Can’t believe that you got my dad to laugh in so many photo’s! Well done. Again thank you so much for making our day even more special. Kind regards Louise & Terry

Michelle + Andrew - Noosa Woods Wedding

February 20, 2011 – 10:42 am

LUUUUUURV this wedding - seriously everything how I imagine a relaxed stylish Noosa Wedding to be. Michelle was a bridesmaid the year before for Louise (first image below) - another funky Noosa Wedding - I get so lucky. Andrew was emotional at times (love a man who shows it), Michelle stunning and always thinking of her mum who is no longer here (very special reminders - a stem from her grandmothers bouquet which her mother also had at her wedding, a candle in memory and her mothers wedding shoes box-framed on display at the reception). No photo shoot - yep thats right - just a walk to join their guests on the Catalina for a river cruise to the gorgeous Rickys for the reception. Seriously an amazing wedding and one I thoroughly enjoyed capturing for them. SPECIAL

Jodi, Thank you so much for all our beautiful shots, they are really amazing and you have captured some really special moments, we had such a fabulous day. Thanks again so much for being part of our day, you truly have a gift and I wish you every success. Take care Michelle and Andrew

Anna & Simon had THE BEST WEDDING - a little to do with the location, a little to do with the styling, a little to do with the suppliers, a little to do with the weather and a LOT TO DO WITH ANNA & SIMON. Love my couples who love to laugh and enjoy themselves - makes my job soooo easy.

We absolutely love the photos - you have done a terrific job with them! Everyone is so pleased with them. You have done a wonderfully amazing job! Anna & Simon

Soooo much fun - seriously brilliant day. Leigh & Alan were full of joy from start to finish - as well as all their family and friends. Perfect evening for the Monterey Penthouse,Picture Point Terrraces in Noosa. Kim from Events of Noosa did an outstanding job as usual - especially the unique CAKE - let me know if you have seen one of these before??? My family tartan was worn proudly - we even captured the bare bums on Noosa Beach though definitely not for public display. Thanks so much for having me.
