Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

December 5, 2009 – 10:52 am

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.

Helen & Adam - Noosa Wedding Photographer

November 25, 2009 – 10:27 pm

Another fabulous couple! Seriously had sooo much fun with these guys - the girls just gorgeous and the boys entertaining in more ways than one. Pretty much a Kiwi affair in Noosa - I think everyone travelled either from interstate or O/S. Trish from TF Makeup did a great job with the girls and Celeste Frances Scott delivered a wonderful ceremony as always. Photos on Noosa Main Beach before the reception at Bistro C. Helen & Adam were surrounded by amazing family and friends and their day was everything you could hope for. Thanks again for having me………….

Hi Jodi,

THANKYOU SO MUCH- THE PHOTOS ARE AMAZING!! I like them all- especially some of those ones with the boy and girl groups on the beach- very cool. It was so nice getting back to check all my emails yesterday and to sit down and have a look at the photos- I think they really tell the story.. We were very lucky to have you!

Will be in touch again soon,
Thanks heaps again for all your hard work on the day- we had a lot of fun,

Helen

Cooroy Botanical Gardens - Noosa Wedding Photographer

November 23, 2009 – 1:42 pm

WOW - look at these guys! Michelle & Roscoe married at the Cooroy Botanical Gardens, in the amphitheatre on a perfect day. Trudy from Events by Design co-ordinated every little detail - it was a pleasure to be involved. Trish from TF Make-up stella work as always and Vicki Nelis styled the hair. Terrianne from Mondo Floral Designs always creates gorgeous floral pieces - and the reception at the Spirit House looked amazing. Note the simple addition of a ribbon and flowers in the hair in place of the mantilla for a different look for the photographs - too clever Michelle! So I have run out of incredible descriptive words for this day - check out Trudy’s Bridal Banter for more details.

Maleny Wedding - Maleny Wedding Photographer

November 13, 2009 – 9:05 pm

I think I might start this with a wee joke of sorts - Davina (gorgeous bride to follow) was worried how she would look in the photographs!!!!!!!!!! Gotta be kidding me. Emily Glasson did a fabulous job with the make-up - this is Davina’s equally stunning sister. Alexander started the day smiling and joking and I am sure it was his mission to make ME laugh the entire day. He choose two friends to stand beside him on his big day - Paul & Alison. Very small intimate wedding - the rain forced the ceremony undercover though look at the amazing afternoon we had. Dinner at Terrace of Maleny Restaurant with close family and friends a perfect way to end the day. Thanks sooo much - the way you both looked at each other all day made my job easy.

Excerpt from email received.

Hi Jodi!

Alexander and I got your CD of proofs. Wow! They look fantastic. Thank you so much for making our day fun - I don’t think I have laughed that much in ages. It was a real treat to have someone with such a great sense of humour to get us all fired up for some great photos.

Thanks again… and until next time.

Davina

So here is part 2 of Dru & Tim’s Noosa North Shore Wedding. Image Styler worked in interesting conditions - a tent - on the girls hair and make-up - they looked great. Celeste Frances Scott smiled her way through the ceremony - always lovely personal services with Celeste. As mentioned in the first post Spoon Fed Catering did an amazing job and the gorgeous flowers were by JDBlooms. Absolutely fantastic family and friends - shame I couldn’t include more images…. And to end the perfect day some perfect light - seriously some of my all time favourite images - Dru & Tim thanks so much for allowing me to be part of your day - it was incredible.

Love Shoot - Sunshine Coast Photographer

November 5, 2009 – 12:05 pm

Tim & Ros are getting married this month in Maleny so thought I should get their Love Shoot images up here! Tim was keen to see how they would go in front of the camera so on their big day they would be a little more relaxed. No Worries I would say - they look great - if Ros is not a natural beauty I don’t know who is! We chose the beach to contrast with the Maleny Hinterland backdrop for the wedding. Imagine how they will look on their wedding day - can’t wait - thanks guys had a great afternoon.

Grabbed some awesome photographs around the course - perfect light - just a couple for the blog. Thanks sooo so much for having me - total pleasure.

Harrys on Buderim - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

October 21, 2009 – 10:45 pm

Just gotta love a wedding at Harrys on Buderim. At their Love Shoot back here all Jessica wanted was a pelican maybe in a shot (which we managed) & on his big day Chris wore the first tie Jessica bought for him - Elephants on it (with trunks up of course for good luck). Appropriate for each to appear on the cake. Libby Urbahn delivered a very personal service and Jayden from Sunshine Coast Videography cruised with me all day (very easy to work alongside). Jessica wore a locket with her grandparents photos, her wee niece travelled from Spain (with Mum & Dad of course) & Chris’s younger brother read a piece from Dr Seuss with hat for effect - just a couple of snippets from the day. Had a wonderful day watching these guys smile and embrace the joy - thanks for having me.
