Jay & Paula {wedding!}

Saturday was an absolute bleaker of a day weather wise! The gale force winds could nearly sweep you off your feet, the rain made everything so... wet, and the beaches were morphed into cliffs due to the huge surf. These days can be great. Great for shopping... great for snuggling up with a hot chocolate and a good movie... even great for going for drives and exploring new tracks. BUT these cyclonic days can be so uncooperative when it comes to weddings, especially beach weddings! Jay and Paula did such a great job "going with the flow" when plans had to be changed last minute to accommodate for what felt like a brewing hurricane. The beach ceremony was moved to the North Burleigh Surf Club and the 'beach' photos were moved to the AMAZING penthouse at Jupiters!

And, as always, the day was pulled off beautifully! Paula paid enormous attention to detail and everything looked fabulous! The colours, the flowers, the lace, the crystal and glass...mmm, so yummy!

Here is a sneaky peek from their day. Enjoy and don't hesitate to leave a comment for us or Paula and Jay!

Enjoy forever guys! xo




CUTENESS! little Chloe...

Couldn't sleep the night before... {Chris & Tamara}

This is the shoot I mentioned last week that I was so excited about that I could hardly sleep the night before! There were a few reasons for such anticipation, firstly:

One of the most favorite things about my job is being able to make people happy with photos they can cherish for a lifetime. It sounds way cliche, but it's so true! So when Tamara contacted me and asked if we could do a *mock* wedding shoot for her as another photographer covered her actual wedding, and didn't do the best of jobs... I was soooOOOOO excited at the opportunity to make this couple happy with photos they could cherish!

And secondly, I was totally wrapped at the thought of having a MEGA 1/2 day bridal party shoot at one of my most *fave* (!) wedding venues, Cedar Creek Estate! Usually on the actual wedding day, time restrictions only allow about 2 hours max for the bridal party shoot, so this was a photographers dream! I also want to mention that the wedding co-coordinators, Kylie and Donna, from Cedar Creek Estate were so fabulous allowing us to wander through the grounds all afternoon. :) If you're looking at getting married at Mt. Tamborine, this is a super beautiful venue.

Anyway, enough of my blabber, check out their pics!

We luv, luv, luv feedback, so don't hesitate to lave a comment for us or Chris and Tamara! :)

Made for it! {Isla}

You know how sometimes you come across those people who are doing what they love and they are just so darn good at it that you think to yourself... "that's what they were *made* to do!". Well, that's what I got to thinking when we met Roger, Jayne and their 1yo daughter Isla last week. I am positive these guys were just *made* to be parents! You could tell they just loved being with her and hangin out, playin in the sand... talkin about Makka Pakka and the crew. It was actually kind of inspiring!

Enjoy the sneak peek!



luvin the afternoon sun!And shot of the day went to Brett for this stunner :)

Ryan & Lisa's {Wedding!}

I don't know what it is, but we seem to get *the* nicest customers on the coast. Everyone is so fabulous and lovely, it really does blow me away sometimes, and makes me feel so blessed! And these guys were no exception, they were totally laid back beach babes! Lisa is probably one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. Throughout the entire day I could hear her complimenting and thanking everyone just for being there. In the midst of the big day it's easy sometimes to stress and worry about the little things, but Lisa was just livin for the moment and appreciating everything she had worked so hard and planned for. And that is just so nice to see!

We met the girls at Ryan & Lisa's beautiful house at Koala Beach for the usual detail and bridal shots. We got there just in time for a few finishing touches of hair and makeup which was done by Amber Demas and looked amazing!

The ceremony was at Club Banora, then we headed back to Hastings Point for Bridal Party shots. It was just stunning there! The sun was perfect for some *sun kissed* shots and as it set the sky went a beautiful pink pastel colour, I was totally lovin it!

Congrats for a beautiful wedding and best wishes for a amazing life together! xo

We Love feedback! Don't hesitate to leave a comment for us or Ryan and Lisa! :)

Jay & Paula {Engagement Session!}

Phew! We have had such an electric past few weeks and there is no sign of it slowing down in the near future, which is great (!) but it means that I have been a little slower than usual in posting sneak peeks. I really, really needed to get this sneak peek up asap so, *walla*!

These are photos from Paula & Jay's engagement session we did last week at Fingal. They are now less than a week away from their big day {sooooo exciting!!!!} so stay tuned for their wedding sneak peek in the near future! These guys decided to book in their engagagement session so they could use a pic from it at the reception for a signature frame. Then after their wedding they can swapsies the photo for a wedding pic (clever huh!). :)

In the coming days I hope to show you exactly what we've been up to. There are a few weddings, kiddos, engaged couples, commercial AND a shoot that i am *just* about to walk out the door to that im so(oooooooo!!!) excited about that I could harly sleep last night. I could tell you what it is, but i'm going to build the suspence until the sneak peek! :}

Have a happy Sunday!

Their gorgeous daughter Chloe
