You may remember Karla & Phil from their Love Shoot here - we weren’t so lucky with the weather on their big day - though you would never know. These guys were so happy nothing could dampen their spirits! We did manage to capture some awesome photographs two days later at a gorgeous home Phil designed (architect) up on the ranges. WOW seriously stunning….. thanks thanks thanks so many memories with you guys.

They’re awesome!!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much for all of your hard work and dedication you’ve put into our special day. You’re an amazing person, and not just behind the camera. You made us feel so at ease in all of the shoots you have done for us by your patience and outstanding charisma. It’s infectious, which is definately reflected in all of your photos.

Thank you so much again for such a fantastic job you’ve done. Some absolutely amazing shots! We can’t wait to see the rest on the disc. It will be soooo difficult to choose just a few - they’re all fantastic.

FUN FUN FUN!!!! Yes I had a ball at this wedding - Anna & Rodney are super sweet and celebrated in style. Twin Waters offered the opportunity for family and friends to stay and make a great weekend of it. We had the best day in terms of light - cannot beat the late afternoon on the beach.

Shelly Beach Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

April 6, 2010 – 4:11 pm

GORGEOUS ……… What a stunning understated though perfect wedding celebration this was. Kyle is a Doctor and Carla a nurse. They knew exactly what they wanted and more importantly what they didn’t. A beach ceremony, fine weather, great food and drinks to share with their family and friends and very natural images. Family and friends of Kyle travelled from Canada (his homeland) and were treated to a hot though sunny day. They acquired the brilliant services of celebrity chef Matt from The Rolling Dolmade to cater the cocktail party held at Carla’s parents beachfront home. Loved every little detail and especially the relaxed atmosphere they created - thanks again it was brilliant to be involved.

Hi Jodi,

Back home from a relaxing honeymoon. We just wanted to thank you so much for being so amazing at our wedding. You are an incredible professional, and it was so easy and enjoyable having you around on the day. Sorry we made you take so many posing pictures! Can’t wait to see the pictures.

Thanks again, Carla + Kyle

Absolutely love them. Already looked at them about 10 times!!

Thanks so much. Carla

Novatel Twin Waters Resort Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

January 21, 2010 – 11:23 pm

Toni & Patrick choose mid-morning at the beautiful Novatel Twin Waters Resort to wed. Seriously stunning day for it as well! Bill Scurry was the master of ceremonies. Patrick’s two young boys were a little overwhelmed at first though didn’t take long for them to start steeling the show. This was a smaller coverage than normal but we still grabbed some great images around the resort before they settled into a long lunch. Thanks so much for having me it was wonderful to witness and of course capture. All the best for the safe arrival of your bub guys - yes how amazing does pregnant Toni look…………..

Casuarina Gardens Wedding - Noosa Wedding Photographer

January 13, 2010 – 1:10 pm

Brooke & Sedge married at Casuarina Gardens Noosa on a perfect Sunshine Coast day. I met the girls at their room at the Sheraton Noosa Resort & Spa - enjoying strawberries and champagne. A short stroll across Hastings Street to the intimate ceremony performed by the super fabulous Bill Scurry. Bill used his charm to get the bulldozers on the beach to stop work for the 30 min ceremony!!!! Quick photo session on bright sunny Noosa Main Beach before jumping a boat to the River Deck Restaurant & Bar Tewantin. Such a pleasure to witness as well as capture their beautiful day - thankyou.

Maleny Manor - Maleny Wedding Photographer

January 11, 2010 – 1:25 pm

You may recognize this stunning couple from their Love Shoot here - speed boat on the river one of my favourite sessions. Nina is seriously one of the nicest genuine girls I have met - work related or otherwise. Bruce as you can see is the gorgeous man by her side. Nina is Danish, Bruce is South African, they met in the UK and moved out to Australia last year. So their gorgeous day in Maleny was celebrated with mostly overeseas visitors who enjoyed both the heat of our sun leading up to the wedding then a cooler day with rain on and off at the Manor. I LOVE the colour palette Nina has put together. Mondo Floral Designs come up with something different and amazing on a consisitent basis, Bill Scurry is undoubtedly the best in the business, Maleny Manor always magical and Paul from Rockin U Wild has perfect taste in music. I have really gotten to know Nina through not only the Love Shoot but regular emails and the day was seriously just like being at a good friends - hence the beautiful natural images. Thanks again for the pleasure of capturing your day - stunning.

Wowweee, the photos are beautiful! We both had big grins on our faces looking through them, they are just gorgeous – particularly love some of the black and white ones, so classic! The only difficulty will be choosing our favourites as they are all so stunning! So excited, I love the photos! Thank you so much Jodi.

Cheers Nina

NB. Big apologies to those who have contacted my via email with no reply - we returned from Sydney with our internet down and just fixed today. Will be trying to catch up on the blog also.

Hyatt Regency Coolum Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

December 30, 2009 – 3:57 pm

WOW what a day this was. Everything was just stunning! I’ll start with some of the floral details and ceremony styling - Melissa from Flourish Designs and Lo from Mask Events - besides being gorgeous gals are very talented at what they do. A stunning bouquet, custom made wicker arch, a range of crystal cut vases, strings of beads and moss - wait till the reception. The ceremony site transformed into a casual area for High Tea. The Hyatt really knows how to cater to your every need - different stations for scones/muffins, sandwiches, fruit, desserts & drinks - just perfect. Lily wore a Paul Hunt designer wedding gown, Trish from TF Makeup her high calibre work as always while Vicki Nelis created her up-style. The very talented Bill Scurry delivered a memorable ceremony with his trademark charm. Tomorrow will see their short photo session, her second designer outfit and the cocktail hour before the reception.

WOW what a visually stunning wedding Celica & Simon put on - great couple with fabulous family & friends from around the globe. The Sculpture Garden at the Maroochy Botanical Gardens provided a perfect backdrop on a very HOT mid-morning. Lisa from Make-up 4 Brides did a great job with make-up and hair, Celica’s glorious dress came from Spain, Liz from A Sculpted Leaf the elegant bouquets and the ever talented Bill Scurry conducted the perfect ceremony. They had an intimate relaxing lunch up on the range at Le Relais Bressan. Thanks guys - it was a pleasure.

Cotton Tree Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

September 2, 2009 – 11:49 am

Finally posting Natasha & John’s gorgeous wedding day - you may remember them from their Love Shoot here. Kylie-Jane did a great job with the make-up, Bill Scurry conducted a fantastic ceremony (as per usual) at Cotton Tree jetty before lunch at Platinum. I scooted home for a break and returned for their departure via boat for some pics at the Maroochy River mouth. Stunning afternoon as you can see. They were then ferried across the mouth to Twin Waters (quite a bit of spray and Natasha said they were quite wet by the end of it!!!!). Love these intimate though casual affairs - I really had a great time and think the images reflect their day perfectly. Thanks again for having me.
