Kellie & Brenton’s Bonville Golf Resort Wedding
Once again we were privileged to photograph at the Bonville Golf Resort. The Resort is so beautiful and once again the staff did an amazing job of looking after our gorgeous couple and their guests.
I started the day with Brenton who was getting ready just down the road from our house. The boys were organised as Michael from Salt Water videography was there before me. The boys had spent the morning polishing the trucks ready for them to arrive to the Golf Resort in and also to have photos with later in the day.
Meanwhile the girls were making their final touches to hair and makeup at the Bonville Golf Resort before I arrived to capture some images of Kellie and the girls getting ready. Kellie was so excited to be getting married.. She had really enjoyed the morning with her gorgeous bridesmaids. It’s amazing how fast the wedding day goes once the girls are photographed. It was so time to head to the ceremony which was held on one of the tees at the Golf Resort. It was the most romantic settings. The birds were singing the trees rustling, the pond which Kellie, Brenton and their guest overlooked had brids floating on top. The light coming through the gum trees was amazing. The ceremony was so enjoyable to photograph not just for the natural beauty of the resort but also the love this very sweet couple shared. I first met Kellie and Brenton at Tahlia and Nathan’s wedding last year. It was very exciting for me to see them and met their little boy. A hug congratulations again to you both!!
After the ceremony family and guests congratulated the newlyweds before we proceeded onto a group photo and family photos. The setting was amazing for the family photos, the light was stunning!!
Kellie and Brenton remained at the resort for their photos. It’s a great one spot location for weddings. The staff are always so sweet and have drinks and a generous food plater sorted for the bridal party every time!
Kellie and Brenton had such an amazing wedding day. I’m sure it was just what they hoped for and even better than they dreamed.
I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon guys and I hope you enjoy this preview of your wedding memories that have been captured.

Rebecca & Luke
I had the priviledge just a little while ago of photographing the wedding of Rebecca and Luke in Port Macquarie, yet another perfect day!
At first I went to where the boys were getting ready, there was certainly no shortage of groomsmen as this was one big bridal party. We did the usual getting ready shots followed by some portraits and then it was time to head to the girls… the bride being photographically more important on the day! The girls looked stunning with their light blue and purple dresses.
The ceremony was held overlooking the ocean at the Windmill Hill Reserve Port Macquarie. A sheltered little area with trees on one side and an incredible view on the other is where we were set to have Rebecca and Luke married. A real highlight was the cheeky flower girls and page boys who were always on hand to entertain with their antics! After the ceremony we did family photos, bridal party shots, and then our beach shots.
We found a cool little place along the hastings river drive for some photos with just Rebecca and Luke, then we headed towards the reception.
The night went really smoothly, we had a slideshow, speeches, cake cut, dancing. Everyone got into the bouquet and garter toss, and then it was time for me to finish.
Here are some pics for now, the discs are on their way!
- It was all a bit much for the page boys!
- NIce jumping guys!
Richard & Chloe’s Aanuka Beach Resort Wedding
Recently I had the privledge of attending Chloe and Richard’s wedding at the gorgeous Aanuka Beach Resort. It was a stunning Winter’s day… So perfect for a wedding. I had such a great time on their engagement session that I was excited to go to the wedding the following day.
I started the day with the boys who were getting ready in some apartments a Pacific Bay Resort which is pretty much next door. The boys were alot of fun to photograph. Richard is from New Zealand so much of his family had travelled across for the wedding. They were mostly as the apartment so was able to met Dad, Step Mum and brothers prior the wedding.
After capturing the boys getting ready I headed back to Aanuka were Chloe and her girls along with Mum and Dad were preparing for the ceremony. The girls were awesome. They were so organised and co-operative. It makes my job such a breeze and a pleasure. Chloe looked amazing in her dress and I loved the colours of the bridesmaid dresses. They were gorgeous. I adored the way Chloe’s dress flowed and the bow around the was was adorable. A stunning dress!
The ceremony was held in the Chapel at Aanuka. The chapel is very cute place to have a ceremony. June Smyth performed the ceremony and married this very cute couple. The ceremony was beautiful.
Following the ceremony we took a group photo and then family photos outside the chapel. The guest then enjoyed canapes and drinks on the deck at Aanuka while the bridal party and our couple had photos around the resort. There are so many beautiful places for photos around the resort its always hard to pick. We were treated with amazing sun light for the shoot. Was so much fun capturing the moments between this couple under the afternoon glow of the sun.
The reception was held in the breakers room. The service and meals at the reception was outstanding as per usual. The reception was lively and alot of fun to photograph.
It was an aweomse day. Thanks so much for sharing your day with me guys. Here are just a few images from the day.

Kristyn & Mark’s Aanuka Beach Resort Wedding
And here it is… the wedding of Kristen and Mark!
You guys could not have asked for a better day, the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, the temperature was perfect and there was not even any wind at the beach. It actually doesn’t get any better, and Kristen and Mark had it for their day!
The wedding was held at the beautiful Aanuka Beach Resort in Coffs Harbour, everything from the rooms that our bridal party got ready in, to the ceremony and the reception was there, no surprise really as the facilities are excellent, the grounds beautifully kept and the beach only a couple of minutes walk away.
I started with Mark and his groomsmen, doing a few photos then just nearby to the girls room. Kristen looked stunning in her dress, and Mark didn’t scrub up too bad either!
Sam from ‘Married by Sam’ was the celebrant for the wedding, and did an awesome job as usual, she always is just so happy! And that rubs off on everyone else! The ceremony was held on the lawn overlooking the beach, a very nice outlook, with a real tropical feel, yep, we’re certainly getting into the warmer months now!
Family photos were a breeze as all the guests were great, and before we knew it, it was time for the formal photo shoot. So after a few snacks we made use of the lawns, gardens and bridge before heading to the beach where some of my favourite shots are.
The reception was beautifully decorated by Special Occasions, it had a really nice and intimate feel about it, and the layout was very nice. We put up a slideshow of some of the days photos, speeches, cake cut, bouquet and garter toss and the first dance. After that it was then my time to head home.
I had a great time at your wedding Kristen and Mark, thanks so much for having me!
Here’s a few shots for now, the rest won’t be far off!
