YEPPOON WEDDING: ANGELA & LUKE // Rocking Good Time

Peter — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:38:00 +0000

Weddings are about more than the traditional elements of the white wedding dress, black suit, floral bouqets or of walking down the aisle, cutting the cake and dancing your first dance. Many, if not all of these elements play a part in every wedding we shoot, but its the individual touches which turn ‘a wedding’ into an intimate celebration that is a true reflection of the bride and groom. Angela and Luke’s was one such wedding.

Luke love of his Commodore is so strong, it was even incorpated into his marriage vows! Given this, it is no suprise that Luke and his groomsmen spending the morning of his wedding day with the pedal to the metal on the gokart track at Kenrose Park. Angela, on the other hand, used her vows to give Luke a heads up on what to expect in their married life together, which caused much amusement for the gathered guests! And to top the night off, they had an illuminated dancefloor which really set the party mood and Angela and her guests danced the night away!

MARGARET RIVER: LIZZY & ERIC // Always at Arm’s Length

Peter — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 04:50:09 +0000

It’s amazing how the internet connects the world. When we moved to Central Queensland, we thought we were leaving all our interstate couples behind – instead we have been back to Melbourne to TEN times to shoot weddings in the past year, not to mention traveling to weddings in Palm Cove, Byron Bay and now Western Australia! Being able to reach across Australia to find awesome couples is so amazing to us and we are so grateful to be able to live in this beautiful paradise and still be able to travel and do the work we love.

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.

ROCKHAMPTON WEDDING: SARAH & STEVEN // With All My Heart

Peter — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 02:31:11 +0000

For some couples, their wedding day is the beginning of a new chapter in their story, the start of a journey in which their lives will be forever entwined. But for Sarah and Steve, they had already cemented their committment to each other when they bought their beautiful daugters Mia and Maddy into this world. They had already bought a house and started a family, so their wedding became more about a celebration of how far they had come and a chance to share their happiness and the stregth of their relationship with all those who were important to them. It was also a great reason to have an awesome party!

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.

ROCKHAMPTON WEDDING: HOLLEA & DAVID // The Three of Us

Peter — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 09:34:18 +0000

David had been single a while, long enough for his parents to resign themselves to this fact and buy a new house big enough for the three of them to live in together. Somewhere across town, Hollea and her friends were lamenting over the lack of potential boyfriends and worrying about their fate should they never meet Mr Right. Fortunately for them both, cupid had other plans and not long after the furniture was unloaded, Hollea and David’s paths crossed and they knew the had found the one.

David’s parents place might have felt a bit empty after David moved out with Hollea, but it was full to the brim on a gloriously sunny winters day when family and friends gather in the Whitings backyard to witness Hollea and David make it official. And their beautiful daughter Poppy was there to share the moment, as her Mum and Dad declared their love for each other and their promises for the future as a family.

ROSSLYN BAY YEPPOON WEDDING: SARAH & RYAN // Two Become One

Peter — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 06:43:20 +0000

It’s easy to forget that a wedding is in fact about more than just two people getting married. A wedding is a moment marked in time where two separate families become joined, and now the Wolhuter and the Pierce families are forever joined in the family tree of Sarah and Ryan.

The families converged on Roslyn Bay Resort for the weekends celebrations, and while Ryan was unfortunately a little under the weather, his bride to be Sarah more than made up for it with her bubbly personality and positive enthusiasm for the day! Their positive energy could be felt by everyone, and they injected fun into all parts of their day -especially their twist to the traditional bridal waltz!

Sarah & Ryan, thank you for trusting me to capture your special day, I hope you continue you life together with joy in your hearts.

ROSSLYN BAY YEPPOON WEDDING: BREANNA & RYAN // Sneak Peek Trailer

Peter — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 04:17:21 +0000

The view out past the marina to the Keppel islands was misty with light rain, but that didn’t faze Breanna. Today she was marrying her childhood sweetheart Ryan – come rain, hail or shine. She had even embraced the wet weather and had bought all her bridesmaids designer gumboots, so they were in for fun no matter the weather! Geoff from Geoffery Sinclair Photography did an amazing job taking photos around a slightly wet Rosslyn Bay Resort and you can see some of these stunning images on his blog

Breanna and Ryan are patiently waiting for their Wedding Film, so we thought we would treat them to a special Sneak Peek Trailer to help build the excitement!

PROMO TIME FOR MATT AND KATIE PHOTOGRAPHERS

Peter — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 23:23:49 +0000

Last year we headed down to Toowoomba for a few days to spend with Matt and Katie who I’ve known for a few years now. They have been shooting weddings together but the Potraits part of the business was still under the old business name so to make it simple for them and everyone else they have decided to merge it all to one Matt and Katie Photographers and so thats where we came in and Matt approached me to put together a promo film for them.

M and I had such a blast capturing the amazing locations and the beautiful kids and parents. There was so many good shots but working closely together with Matt as he himself used to be a video producer came up with something that reflects their business and who they are as photographers.

Head over to their website MATT AND KATIE PHOTOGRAPHERS and see all the photos from the promo and also lots of other beautiful portraits.

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!!

Happy New Year!!

Our first post of 2011 is the lovely Amberley and James!

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.
