2011; Just some of the moments from a year behind the camera

Wow, can you believe it, 2011 is nearly gone, bring on 2012. It’s amazing when you look back on a body of work over a year the moments that come rushing back to you. 2011 has been incredibly diverse; we have photographed all sorts of things from pets to chefs, to couples in love to luxury resorts to new born babies to bakers making delicious bakery treats to special families.

Our images have been turned into beautiful wedding albums for our wedding clients to enjoy forever. They have been featured in magazine ads by some of our favourite wedding venues, seen on electronic billboards around town, featured on wedding industry supplier websites, restaurant and food industry websites, accompanied editorials in bridal and travel magazines, been published in corporate publications and catalogues, websites and a calendar distributed nationally.

As 2011 draws to a close, I wish to sincerely thank all of our fabulous clients for their support throughout the year. It has been a pleasure working with you. Stay safe during this holiday period, I hope that 2012 is a brilliant year for you all.

Below are just some of the moments from 2011, behind every image is a story…

A Lovely Wedding at Aqua Linea: Rebecca & Simon

How gorge…

One of my favourite images from the whole day, amongst the agapanthus.

I only met Rebecca and Simon a month before their wedding. They had a last-minute change of heart and decided to book a different wedding photographer: me! We got along like old friends, bonding over their recent and my upcoming trips to San Francisco and New York… I’m super thankful for all their tips!

Their wedding day came around quickly and I was so excited to see them on their big day. These guys wanted a day surrounded by friends and family, and the favourite pastime of basketball had to feature in the day! Little Dougie was in his element shooting hoops (with a little help from the bigger boys!) and I just loved the touch of the fellas wearing their purple custom Nikes!

Then it was off to see the lady-folk at Medina Executive… what a view! The Story Bridge and Brisbane City were on display for us and just spectacular! Rebecca just shone with those mesmerising blue eyes, and she was keen to sit back with the girls and enjoy her day. All the girls looked fab (love those grey dresses!), but a special mention needs to go to little Josie, who helped me out with photographing the girls’ formals: thanks Josie!

To continue their theme of unforgettable views, it was off to Aqua Linea at Teneriffe for the ceremony. The Brissie River was behaving itself and posed wonderfully for my camera, though the stiff breeze could have been more friendly to Bec’s veil. Friends were very involved in the plans for the day, too. Lisa made the gorgeous cake (complete with purple icing decorations!), and Joji made sweet musak for the ceremony and reception.

What a day! I certainly had more than enough fun with this wedding, so I can only imagine that the party well and truly carried on after I left. Rebecca & Simon, thank you so very much. Your wedding was amazing, and I can’t wait to show you all the photos in the New Year!

Love, love, love.

A Sirromet Wedding; Congratulations Ashleigh & Sebastien!

Ashleigh and Sebastien are just the sweetest thing you’ll ever see. Srsly.

From their subtle forehead-touching not-quite-hug when Ashleigh first met Sebastien at the top of the aisle, to the stolen kisses throughout their photo shoot when they thought no one was looking, you could tell that these two are going to be very happy together.

The day began with white fluffy clouds in the bright blue sky. Occasionally we got splatters of rain, but nothing was going to stop Ashleigh and Sebastien enjoying their day along with their guests. I didn’t need to break out the brollies from their rainy day engagement shoot, anyway.

Sirromet‘s Laguna was the perfect venue for their ceremony, and the new(ish) glass walls came in very handy when the rain briefly picked up. Sirromet’s ever so popular Barrel Room was the scene of their reception, and was glowing with candles.

Ashleigh and Sebastien, I simply can’t wait to show you the rest of your photos on Tuesday, but for now, here’s a peek to get you through the weekend.

The ladies got themselves all “did” at Swish Looks Hair in Wynnum. Swish indeed, girlies!

The guys brought a kite along to their BBQ lunch in Minippi Park… the strangest thing is I had dreamt I should use a kite in a shoot at some point the night before! Fate? I think so.
