PALM COVE WEDDING: WE’VE GOT MAIL

Peter — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 08:42:07 +0000

We got a lovely surprise in our mail yesterday from one of our up coming couples, Angela and Joe. They have sent us an invite for their wedding and it was such a beautiful invitation card that I had to take some shots and share. Their wedding day is on 17th September in Palm Cove, Cairns and I can’t wait to capture their story and share their amazing day with their family and friends. See you there Angela and Joe!!!!

YEPPOON WEDDING: DIANE & OLIVER // In The Air

Peter — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:50:06 +0000

Di and Ollie’s wedding was something they will never forget, as Diane’s father concluded his beautiful speech “Love truly is, in the Air today” it meant so much for them and was very true. The magic of the day was just amazing, As Diane was getting ready in the morning and sharing the time with her best friends she was already getting emotional. What else made it so special is that Diane was pregnant and she was just radiating with joy and happiness, I certainly couldn’t describe the moment when they were speaking their vows to each other, what amazing feelings they would have felt at that moment. The very last thing that did make it magical is the nature, they both have a passion for marine biology conservation and mother nature was certainly there to celebrate with them, bringing the best temperature, calm waves and beautiful light to their wedding day.

They are our first ever couple in Yeppoon, Diane had contacted us to film their wedding even before we had moved. So we have to say a big thanks to them and wish them all the best in the marriage, and also congratulate them on their first born who could be saying hello to the world any minute now!!

YEPPOON WEDDING: AMBERLEY & JAMES // I Will Follow

Peter — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:04:34 +0000

Happy New Year!!

Our first post of 2011 is the lovely Amberley and James! On the auspicious date of the 10th of the 10th 2010 (10/10/10), Amberley and James got married on the beautiful foreshore outside Manta’s on the Beach at Cooee Bay, Yeppoon. With a light breeze coming up from the ocean and shaded under the canopy of a beautiful old tree, Amberley and James exhanged their vows of love and committment, surrounded by family and friends.

We hope their wedding date brings them a little extra sprinkle of good fortune in their lives together!

BYFIELD & ROCKHAMPTON WEDDING: SELINA & GRANT // Hideaway

Peter — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 06:36:58 +0000

They met in Longreach at the Charity Variety Bash with a bit of intervention by some oldies, and with the persistence of Grant they eventually got together and their love story blossomed from there on.

Selina & Grant’s wedding day was very much in the theme of the forrest and beautiful Ferns Hideaway in Byfield was the perfect location. Holding the ceremony by the creek, mother nature was kind enough to keep the water perfectly still while Selina and Grant exhanged their vows of love and committment.

ROCKHAMPTON WEDDING: KAHLEE & BREANDAN // Love + Fun

Peter — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 23:37:22 +0000

It’s like their love cant contain itself, it is always bursting out, from the moment Breandan came home to find a grinning Kahlee, who confessed to finding the secret ring box while cleaning, to Breandan strutting around in his full wedding attire, including shoes and sunnies at 2am the night before the wedding. But perhaps the best example is when midway through the vows Breandan jumped the gun saying “I Do.”, these two just cant wait to spend the rest of their lives together.

Kahlee and Breandan, it was so wonderful to have you guys be the first of my Rockhampton weddings. Your guys were so fun and it was awesome to be able to tell the story of your lives coming together. I hope your future is full of love, happiness and of course lots of fun!

EMU PARK CAPRICORN COAST WEDDING: SARAH & MARCUS // Kiss the Sun

Peter — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 00:32:52 +0000

It was just over week after we had packed up our lives in Melbourne and relocated to Yeppoon, that my sister got married. Amongst the influx of interstate guests, the arrival of moving boxes and the last minute preparations for the wedding, it was a hectic time to say the least! At the time my thoughts got lost in the whirlwind of activity, so now I am taking this opportunity to express my happiness on such a awesome event…

Firstly to Marcus, welcome to the Howlett family – I am not sure you realised when you asked Sarah to marry you that you were actually taking on the all of us, but I am glad you have accepted the challenge! You are such a kind hearted, generous and supportive person, Sarah is lucky to have you in her life and so are we. Thank you for making Sarah happy. Every day, I can see in your words, your actions, your eyes how much you love my sister. And the way you have embraced us all is truly appreciated, from accepting my unladylike eating habits, to Dad parading in his y-fronts and the endless lists of handyman jobs from Mum – you are now officially part of our family.

To my sister Sarah, mein Schwest. I love you. Not only for our mutual appreciation for Revenge of the Nerd movies, old fried dimsims and our wicked tag team dance routines, but for the other stuff too. For being a great listener, a positive influence, being up for anything, for embracing the crazy! I know I can always rely on you, for the serious stuff and for the silly stuff too! You are a beautiful person, a wonderful sister and a great friend. I am so glad you have found Marcus, I know you two will create a wonderful life together and we are so grateful to be able to part of it.

Love youse guys! xoxo

While on our winter break to Port Douglas Peter was keen to try out our new toy the Panasonic GH1 and luckily for us my newly engaged sister and my soon-to-be brother-in-law were not hard to convince to be our test subjects! It was a beautiful day on Four Mile Beach and we had fun playing around in the sun. Check out the results in the fun and sexy save the date!

Living Lens Winter Break

Emily — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 10:48:30 +0000

The Living Lens blog has been a bit quite of late! Winter is a slow time for weddings, so we have take the opportunity to have a little relaxation time.
We headed north to sunny Brisvegas to visit Pete’s family and also took a trip to Toowoomba to visit the talented Matt & Katie from Shadowplay. It was a awesome day “talking shop” with them both, and they even asked us to do an impromptu photo shoot! Heaps of fun and I cant wait to see the final results!

Port Douglas was our next stop for a week of relaxation and fun with the family. Pete has bought a new camera which he was keen to try out on a Save The Date for my newly engaged sister Sarah and my soon to be brother-in-law Marcus. Stay tuned!

We are back to reality of Melbourne winter (brrrrr!) and looking forward to summer and the next wedding season.
