Laura & Corey were married a few weeks ago at the stunning Bangalow Guesthouse. The Guesthouse is the perfect venue for a garden wedding with gorgeous grounds and luxurious rooms for all of the preparations. Laura and her bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning… and were only occasionally upstaged by the beautiful flowergirls.
The reception was held in Bangalow’s historic A&I Hall. Multi-talented Rhydian Lewis provided the entertainment for the evening, and also joined me earlier in the day photographing the event.

I love beach weddings… and there is no shortage of beautiful spots to host one in this part of the country. This was my first time shooting a wedding at Ballina’s Lighthouse Beach though, and it proved to be absolutely gorgeous. It was a hot, hot day in Ballina the morning of Nikki and Shaun’s wedding and I’m sure the guys were rethinking the three-piece suits there for a while. Fortunately though, by the time the ceremony started, there was a lovely gentle breeze cooling things down in this protected corner of the beach.
The day started with a quick visit to E’Clips Hair Salon in Ballina where the girls were all being styled by the amazing Emily and her team. Then it was off to Nikki & Shaun’s place where the boys were donning their suits. The girls had the incredible Alex Ouston taking care of their makeup in a luxury room at Ballina’s Ramada Hotel. Flowers were supplied by the Alstonville Florist and the reception was hosted and catered by the Lighthouse Beach Cafe.

I always prepare a runsheet that I have close at hand during a wedding day with timings and contact numbers for the various locations throughout the day. For Renai and Andrew’s wedding however, I literally had to draw myself a picture! You see the Groomsmen were all getting ready in Qld and the Bridesmaids in NSW. The ceremony took place in Qld and the reception in NSW. With a 1 hour time difference when crossing the border, I had to be so cautious of making sure I was in the right place at the right time… everytime throughout the day.
Renai and Andrew’s ceremony was held at Shamba Malaika, a gorgeous country hideaway in the Currumbin Valley and their reception was at the newly refurbished Babalou in Kingscliff. In fact, their ‘party’ was the first event in the new digs. Flowers were supplied by Wild Lotus xxx, Hair by Melissa Button, Make-up by Bronnie Davis (who also had the important task of bridesmaid and on-hand-make-up-touch-up-person) and the cake was the creative work of Greg’s Cakes. The whole event was styled and co-ordinated by the lovely Jo Mulquin.
The entire day was such a complete joy. These guys are such a fun couple and were surrounded by an incredible bunch of family and friends… and they even picked up a few new fans at the Kingscliff Caravan Park (see below)

While I was in Sydney for Australian Professional Photography awards this past weekend, I had the great pleasure of capturing some engagement images for Jessica and Sam. These guys are getting married at the beautiful Peppers Resort in Bowral next April and if Saturday afternoon was anything to go by, I’m sure the day will be one full of laughs and full of love.
Sydney put on a gorgeous afternoon for us as we took a leisurely stroll around Milson’s Point. In a city of four and a half million people, it’s incredible just how many peaceful, secluded spots you can find once you start looking… even right next to a busy theme park full of photographers!

Melinda and Jonathan were married in the gorgeous open chapel The Abbey in the Tweed hinterland village of Cobaki. It was a gorgeous day filled with love and laughter… in fact I don’t think I’ve been to a wedding where the bride laughed as much as Melinda did. Usually when I’m editing images from a wedding I tend to get a little emotional and this wedding was no exception except that there were just as many belly laughs as there were tears. For me, it was a truly lovely experience.
