Renee & Liam. A Fig Tree Restaurant Wedding.

Renee & Liam. A Fig Tree Restaurant Wedding.

Renee & Liam’s gorgeous Byron Bay wedding featured some of the best the region has to offer. Liam and his family prepared themselves at a stunning property overlooking The Pass, while Renee’s preparations took place at Byron’s iconic Rae’s at Wategos. Uber talented David Dibley and Mia Conner looked after Renee’s hair and makeup before everyone made their way to the ever-popular Fig Tree Restaurant.

I’ve shot a lot of weddings at Fig Tree and I never tire of it. In fact, it seems to just keep getting better and better each time I’m there. One of the venue’s greatest assets is its staff. They work together like a well-oiled machine and no request ever seems to be a problem. It truly is a joy to work amongst such professionals. For Renee and Liam’s wedding, the venue was styled by The Wedding Shed and Byron Bay Weddings and featured beautiful floral creations from the Alstonville Florist.

The couple’s ceremony was officiated by the lovely Clarah Luxford. With crystal clear views of the Byron coastline as a backdrop to the ceremony, it’s hard to imagine a better place to start a life together… and I’m sure theirs is going to be a wonderful one. Congrats guys!

Sonya & Jamie. A Byron Bay Hinterland Wedding.

Sonya & Jamie. A Byron Bay Hinterland Wedding.

Long before their wedding date rolled around, I knew Sonya and Jamie’s wedding was going to be amazing. Not only are they a beautiful couple, but they choose some of my favourite wedding vendors to pull their day together. And when you know that everything is being left in the hands of talented people you have worked with before, you just know everything is going to go as planned… or perhaps even better than the couple had imagined.

All of the preparations and the ceremony took place at one of the hinterland’s hidden gems. The R&R Ranch is a Colorado resort style home with more than enough room to accommodate everything you need for a wedding. Catering at the ranch was taken care of by the wonderful staff from Harvest Cafe and everything was organised and managed to perfection by Rachael from The Events Lounge. The ceremony was officiated by the region’s grooviest celebrant, Mr Benjamin Carlyle, to the delightful tunes of Josh Boots from North Coast Entertainment.

After the ceremony, Jon and Seb from Byron Wedding Visual and I took to some of the gorgeous surrounding landscape to capture the couple’s images and video. Sonya and Jamie travelled in style upon the Magic Bus and then we were treated to more music, celebrations and incredible food at Harvest Cafe.

Krystal & Clayton. A Minden Country Wedding.

Krystal & Clayton. A Minden Country Wedding.

Header

About twenty minutes west of Ipswich, Queensland, lies the small community of Minden, home to around one thousand residents, Krystal’s family farm and the Minden Retreat. Krystal and Clayton were joined by their closest friends and family for their ceremony and reception at this long established retreat. After the ceremony, the bridal party and I had a great time exploring some of the original barns and farm houses on the family property, some of which dated back to 1870.

Being a true-blue, country-boy, Clayton wasn’t exactly excited to be having his photo taken early in the day, but as the official duties of the day passed and the nerves dissipated, the couple relaxed into their newly formed bond and we had a great afternoon of shooting with a beautiful sunset. Congratulations guys… I hope you have an incredible life together!

Sonya & Jamie. A Byron Bay Engagement Session.

Sonya & Jamie. A Byron Bay Engagement Session.

ENG-Sonya-Jamie-001

Is there anything better than a sunset photo session on the beach when the sky is filled with moody post-storm clouds? Well, I guess there probably is, but right now, nothing comes to mind. Sonya & Jamie travelled to Byron Bay from Sydney for their hinterland wedding and a few days before the wedding, we took to the beach to capture these images. Each of my album packages includes an ‘engagement session’, which is essentially just a trial run of what we’ll be doing together on the wedding day. It’s a great chance for us all to get to know one another better and for me to understand what is and isn’t important to the couple (Oh… and it’s also a great opportunity to show the groom that having professional photos taken isn’t really scary at all). Keep an eye on the blog for Sonya & Jamie’s wedding… coming soon!
