Both Brittany and Wayne are very much hands on in the planning of their wedding and it really showed on the day. From all the little details they created for the reception, to the amazingly beautiful self written vows and to the amazing gift that Brittany gave to Wayne at the reception. And what a gift it was! Brittany had told me all about what she had planned when we first spoke, she had to keep it a secret for almost almost a year and asked me what’s the best way to present it – I felt so privileged that she wanted my opinion and I must say it did look truly spectacular on the night! So, what is this special gift you ask? Well you’ll have to watch the highlight to see for yourself!

After spending so much time together with Brittany and Wayne, it is easy to see that they are not only best friends who are totally in love with each other, but they also make such a great team together as well. They truly are a match made in heaven!! And they need to be a good team, because I have an extra special video to share along with their highlight – Brittany and Wayne decided to apply as contestants in the Australian Amazing Race! As they figured they don’t know much about video so asked me to do it, I had a great time spending the day with them and in the process was able to learn a little bit more about their story. They tell me they haven’t got in I won’t really know for sure until the show airs as I am sure they can’t really say if they are in or not!! So watch this space

Kate is a keen photographer, so she was taking snaps during the day and just having a great time. The big day didn’t seem to phase her one bit, she took the day on with full gusto and was up for anything. Jon was just as laid back and together they made they day lots of fun to be part of. I was pleasantly surprised to see Jon had written a lovely poem for Kate that he read for her during the speeches, so he certainly was not your stereotypical mechanic – although his Mazda RX3 was mentioned a few times throughout the day so the car enthusiast still was in him.

Jon and Kate I do wish you a good life together and may it continue to have for many years to come!

I really enjoy meeting up with my couples before their wedding, it helps me get to know them a bit better and they can see I am not some scary video guy with a comb over and a pot belly!! When I met up with Nicole and Enoch for lunch the week before their wedding, I could tell they were so excited about their upcoming wedding! They told me about all the things they had been doing, their plans for the big day, showed me photos of their reception venue, and we talked about their family and their future together. And once the day arrived, it was evident their excitement had increased ten fold and they were ready for a great day, despite the alternating weather of sun, rain, and wind

Nicole and Enoch, thank you for choosing me to tell your story.

You may remember just before Christmas we shared Jason and Huyen’s Love Story, so we thought what better way to kick of the year than with The Story of Jason & Huyen – Part 2!

It was Jason who contacted me early last year about being part of their wedding. Being a graphic designer by trade, we immediately hit it off and it was a great experience for me to be able to work so collaboratively with both him and Huyen in the lead up to their big day. Creativity is an important part of their lives and they wanted this to be represented in their wedding. From the big things like Jason designing their beautiful wedding invitations, to the little details like Huyen and her bridesmaide spending the morning of the wedding tying a ribbon onto each one of their guest gifts, Huyen and Jason took care to make this day beautiful and meaningful to both them and their guests. And they couldn’t have picked a better team of creatives to help make their vision come to life, so a special shout out must go to Nat from Nattnee Photography who came down from Sydney to do their photography and Joanie from One Wedding Wish who styling their wedding which included a beautiful garden themed drinks station (make sure you click on their links to see images from the day!)

And to Jason & Huyen, thank you for including me in this chapter of your story together.

Instead of a full on wedding day in their home town of Sydney, Joe and Angela chose to invite their family and friends for a week long holiday with them in Palm Cove, north of Cairns. It was a chance them to take some time, to relax in the sun and get to know each other. And at the end of the week they all came together to celebrate the wedding of Angela and Joe as one big family. So now the Coluccio and Brittliff families are not just joined in the links of their family tree, they are family in the real life sense of the word as well.

Congratulations Joe and Angela, it was wonderful to be included in your family celebrations!

Tenille and Shannon’s wedding day was no different – full of romantic gestures and special touches that made it such an intimate and beautiful celebration of the special connection these two had. Shannon had put a lot of thought into making sure their wedding day was filled with perfect moments, every one letting Tenille know how much he loved her. And at their ceremony of the cliff at Rita Mata, Tenille’s vows showed Shannon and everyone present, just how much he was loved in return.

Tenille and Shannon, may your marriage be a long and happy one, and may your wedding highlight remind you of a day filled with perfect moments.

The internet was a godsend to Lizzy and Eric when planning their wedding – they had spent many years studying in Perth, but Lizzy was trying to organise their special day from home in Indonesia. As fate (or Google!) would have it, Lizzy stumbled across our website and contacted us about covering her wedding in Western Australia. So in August I made the journey across the country to be part of Lizzy and Eric’s wedding in the beautiful Margaret River region south of Perth. Their day was a wonderful, relaxed family affair with a great mix of eastern and western wedding traditions and the Laurence Wines provided so many amazingly locations as the backdrop to the start of their marriage.

Congratulations Lizzy & Eric, thank you for choosing me to tell the story of your day.

Sarah and Steve pulled out all the stops for their wedding at Rosslyn Bay Resort, with the bride arriving to their beach ceremony in a state of the art limousine and the groom arriving in a procession of trucks. We also had the pleasure of working along side amazing wedding photographer Marcus Bell of Studio Impressions, who worked his magic around Keppel Bay Marina.

Annette runs her own business Designer Weddings Byron Bay with her business partner/mum Maree and from the outset I could tell this was going to be a knock out wedding. Being a wedding designer and the mother of the bride, Maree was a huge part of the planning and more than once it was joked that it was more like Annette, Leo and Maree’s wedding day! As you will see from the video, they have amazing vision and turned a plain marque into a magical place for a celebration.

But as is true for the best weddings, it was the people that made this wedding such a joy to be part of. The time I spent filming their wedding day was wonderful, and with the added excitement to being able to work together with my friends Matt and Katie Photographers for the first time, made this wedding very special. But what really did make it memorable for me is spending time with Annette, Leo, Maree and the rest of the family who’d made me very welcome and part of their family.

Thank you for the wonderful time Annette and Leo and cherish every moment that you spend together.
