Spicers Clovelly Estate Wedding - Montville Wedding Photographer

July 29, 2010 – 9:38 pm

How divine is this wedding - this is MY wedding starring Beth & Simon. The wedding I would have and the wedding I love to capture. They made the most of the entire day with a morning ceremony, leisurely enjoyed a high tea with their family and friends, had some down time in the middle of the day (guests explored the gorgeous ranges) then a late afternoon photo session (for the best light of course) before sitting down to an amazing degustation. Spicers Clovelly Estate is such a unique place and creates the perfect atmosphere for intimate up-market weddings. So many things came together just perfectly (Beth’s best laid plans) for a perfect day. Thanks for inviting me to The Penny Farthing Inn the night before to meet everyone and thanks a zillion for choosing me to capture your day. Stunning.

WOW Jodi! They’re wonderful!

I keep going back to the album and I’m loving the photos more and more each time I look through them. I watched the slide show yesterday afternoon then rang Simon and we kept saying “Oh, but what about this one!” and “I love this one too!” Simon worked late last night so I watched it again with Amélie and she got very excited pointing out all her family and saying “At mimi’s wedding”.

Can’t wait to see the disc. We (you) received so many compliments from our family and friends as well. Love, love, love the photos. We are so happy with your work. Can’t thank you enough!

Warmest regards, Beth, Simon & Amelie

Mel & Doug booked me eons ago for their fabulous wedding. Nice small intimate number of guests to celebrate their day. Love the huge tree canopy of Wirreanda Park for the ceremony before a stunning reception on the water at the Wine Bar. Thanks so much for having me - lots of laughs.

Mooloolaba Penny Lane - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

July 2, 2010 – 9:33 am

Julie & Craig were married on a perfect Sunny Coast afternoon. Nice & relaxed was the mood they were after - love the after-ceremony images - the best light. Julie wanted some dirt road/country & Craig wanted beach - we certainly got the best of both. We even got lucky with some fishing gear as Craig is a Mad fisherman. Gotta love the colours in their images too - FABULOUS - thanks so much for the pleasure.

Hi Jodi,

Thank you so much Jodi, the photos are fantastic!!! You have done an awesome job. You have taken some beautiful detail shots and have some great photos of our guests which I love. I love the dirt road, grass and beach shots. We can’t wait to see more.

I think the wedding is just a sweet memory now - I have been a fishing widow for the last week while Craig has been away on a boy’s fishing trip. I suppose this is the trade off as I got to go to Antarctica in March.

Thanks again.

Julie and Craig

Too Cute - Crowne Plaza Wedding Photographer

May 28, 2010 – 5:17 pm

Of course you will remember Ang & Ant from their Tea Ceremony here. I say and think it all the time “I have the best clients”. Though the weather was not co-operating it was a perfect day. You can just see the way Ang & Ant look at each other and how welcoming their families are - it is just meant to be. All the fabulous suppliers listed below.

Hey Jods,

How are you going? We just got back from our honeymoon in Penang.

Well now its back to reality, and thought I’d write to say an enormous THANK YOU for photographing the Tea Ceremony and Wedding! Both families couldn’t stop raving about what a wonderful and bubbly person you are. Despite issues with the weather, we had so much fun with you and hope you did as well.

We look forward to seeing the photos and catching up with you soon!

Love,

Angie & Ant

40’s Glamour - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

May 4, 2010 – 1:53 pm

Gorgeous Renae & Matthew travelled from Sydney to celebrate with family and friends at Surfair, Marcoola. Renae was going for a classic 40’s look - with the help of super talented Trish from TF Make-up she totally pulled it off. Big shout out for Trish (as I always do) Renae’s make-up was perfect and looked as good at the end as when first done. Another fabulous bridal party & perfect weather ensured we grabbed some great images. Lucky Renae & Matt got an extended honeymoon care of the volcanic ash in Europe. Thanks thanks thanks for having me.

Hi Jodi,
We are having a fabulous time on our honeymoon, thank you
And thank you for sending through the login to our gallery. We LOVE the photos, they’re amazing. I want to look at them again and again (and I will, when I’m not in a hotel lobby!).
Will touch base when we get back.
Thanks again,
Renae & Matt

April 13, 2010 – 11:36 am

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. Anna beamed ALL day - exactly how a bride should be on her day. Fabulous bridal party - we enjoyed lots of laughs. Thanks thanks thanks - I have a great job and attract brilliant clients.

Hello Jodi!

Wow, thank you so incredibly much for being a part of our special day! The day was absolutely perfect! You are an amazing photographer Jodi and I will always stand by your work!

Wirreanda Park Wedding - Buderim Wedding Photographer

March 10, 2010 – 9:45 pm

I get so spoilt by my amazing couples - Nej & Rod planned an amazing celebration with gorgeous details, great location and venue and wonderful family and friends - just a dream to photograph. I clicked immediately with Nej when we first met and loved the way her and Rod focussed on their children (last blog post here) being 110% involved. Super talented Trish from TF Makeup enjoyed the morning with Nej and the four girls. Wirrenda Park is quite magical - love shooting weddings there and Jayden captured it all on video as well. Held their lunch reception at Platinum with a funky “lollie bar” and stunning water lillies supplied by Liz at the Sculpted Leaf. The last is Nej’s reaction to seeing the Lee Berryman cake for the first time - love it. Thanks Nej & Rod for the absolute pleasure.

Hi Legend!

Rod & I have just looked through the photos and we just wanted to say how fantastic they are! There are just some awesome photos there Jodi… you’re so talented. We’re delighted! We’ll read through the info you’ve given us and get back to you, but we just wanted to touch base and say you’re fabulous!

Cheers,

Rod & Nej

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.

Point Cartwright Wedding - Sunshine Coast Wedding Photographer

December 14, 2009 – 8:46 am

Jessica & Todd had a perfect day! The girls got ready in a unit overlooking the Mooloolah River and we watched the golf buggies transport guests to the ceremony site (NB great idea especially for elderly guests - we then used the buggies for the photo shoot). Trish and Shae from Tf Makeup ensured the girls looked their absolute best, Melissa from Flourish by Design the gorgeous bouquets and Darienne Davis conducted the ceremony with her usual charm. Big surprise was the Buick waiting to take them to their reception at the Headland Golf Club - no air-con but very cool….. Awesome day.

Maleny Manor - Maleny Wedding Photographer

December 10, 2009 – 10:39 pm

You may recognize Tim & Ros from their Love Shoot here. On their wedding we started the day with rain though it cleared perfectly for the afternoon. Maleny Manor is just one of those special places - exceptional service, brilliant views and the atmosphere is always perfect. Trish from TF Makeup great work as usual, Evalyn Parsons the gorgeous hair & Terrianne from Mondo Floral Designs stunning florals - these girls never disappoint. Another fun easy going bridal party - I am very lucky to attract the great clients I do. Had a ball thanks for having me.
