This week is rather exciting for Sheree and Jason…. Im excited for them too. About 12 months ago Sheree and Jason had planned their special day but they had a little surprise…. Kobie. She is the most gorgeous little girl 🙂 The plans were put on hold a while.  12 months or so later Sheree and Jas will exchange their vows this weekend 🙂

We met with them recently so for their engagement session. We met at the Botantical Gardens in Coffs Harbour for the session. The gardens are a gorgeous location for photos. Both Mike and I really enjoying using the light at the gardens to capture images for our gorgeous couples. Sheree and Jason were alot of fun to photograph. Kobie is such a delight. She is so gorgeous and really a pleasure to photograph.

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Christina and Scott. I first met this couple at “The Coffee Club” which was rather funny as Christina and Scott actually met at “The Coffee Club” in Cairns. It was rather ironic as I had no idea when we arrange to met this very cute couple there to discuss their wedding plans.

I was excited about their wedding from the time that we met. They had chosen a very elegant theme…. White, Silver and Black. It all come together so well. I started my day the reception venue. Christina and her family had made all the decorations and set up the reception themselves. It was gorgeous so we ensured that we captured every detail for our adorable couple.

After photographing the reception venue I headed over to Scott and his best man Jonathon who were getting ready at Scott’s parents house. Scott was rather relaxed… He had a pretty easy morning even squeezing a gym session in. LOL! The boys were great to photograph. They were a lot of fun.

It was soon time to head over to the girls. I loved where Christina was getting ready. There was a very quirky red chair which was perfect for bridal preparation photos. It was awesome to have both a bride and a groom so organised!! Shall we thank Christina or Scott for that?

The ceremony was held at St Stephens Presbyterian Church. It’s a cute little church. The ceremony was very lively. I loved capturing all the little moments between Scott and Christina during the ceremony. They were so cute!

Following the ceremony we did a group photo and then moved on to family photos. It was such a hot day in Grafton. Thanks so much for all the guest and family who made the family photos and group photo so easy despite how hot it was. Because of the heat when we had finished the family photos the bridal party and I sat in air conditioning to call off! After cooling off and having a really big drink of water we started the formal photos.

Grafton has some amazing locations for photos. The light is magic. We visited Fig Tree avenue for the car and most of the group photos before heading over to the post off and the park near the crown hotel.

Christina and Scott I think were both looking forward to the end of the photos …. I secretly was too as it was such a hot day. Scott was so patient with me and even left his jacket on despite how hot it was.

Christina and Scott’ s reception was held at Harvest Valley restaurant. It was gorgeous…. Such a beautiful venue… and the food was awesome too! It was a great day and an awesome evening. I hope you guys enjoyed your week in Coffs after the wedding. So sorry we didn’t get to catch up while you were down in Coffs. Such bad timing with moving house LOL!!

Chat to you guys soon.

Recently I had the pleasure of attending and capturing the beautiful moments of Kara and Mike Wedding. Kara and Mike actually live overseas but travelled back home to Australia to celebrate their special day with Family and Friends.

I started the day with Mike and his boys. They were a lot of fun to photograph, awesome to have a group of boys that were ready! LOL! Mike as well as Kara got ready in the beautiful rooms at Aanuka Beach Resort which was also the location of their ceremony and Reception. I spent about half an hour with the boys before I headed over to the girls.

Kara and her girls were a lot of fun. Kara looked amazing! I loved your dress. I’m a big fan of bows… so loved the ribbon around your waist with the bow tied at the back…… super cute!! It was stunning! Your girls looked gorgeous too. The dark blue was an awesome colour. Barbara your dress matched perfectly and looked amazing on you.

The ceremony was held on the lawns at Aanuka. Kara and Mike had arranged for a celebrant to travel up from Sydney to perform the ceremony. Forgive me please for forgetting his name, he did an amazing job. Kara and Mike’s vows were really beautiful. They personalised them …. I nearly cried…. If I were a guest I think I would have…. Thankfully I had my camera to keep me distracted. LOL. Kara and Mike’s friends played their instruments as Kara walked down the aisle with her Mum and Dad. It was a very beautiful moment watching Kara walk down the aisle and seeing Mike’s reaction. Priceless moments.

After the ceremony we gathered around the lawn for a group photo and family photos before heading to a couple of locations around the resort for photos. One of my favorite locations at Aanuka to photograph around is the Chapel. The flowers in the garden and the Chapel itself are beautiful backdrops. 🙂

It was such a pleasure to share Kara and Mike’s special day with them. I hope that your images arrived before you headed to Thailand and before arriving home in Spain.

Beast wishes guys for your future together and thank you so much for sharing your special day with us.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting up with Michelle and William at the Jetty. This couple is the sweetest ever!! I really enjoyed their shoot and am excited to spend their wedding day with them… We are going to have a ball! I loved hearing about how you guys met… Your super cute!!

I met Michelle and Will at the Jetty. They had travelled up from Sydney to visit Michelle’s family in Yamba so planned to have their engagement session while they were up this way. I felt bad when I arrived for the session as Michelle and Will’s flight arrived earlier in Coffs and they had to kill time waiting for the session with all their luggage. So sorry guys… I really should have phoned and checked the flight schedule…. I think Im apologising more to Will than Michelle, as Michelle went shopping LOL!!

This sweet couple is getting married in September at the beautiful Bonville Golf Resort! It will be really gorgeous… I’m very excited to capture all the memories for a couple that really adore each other and are very playful!!

Thanks guys so much for an awesome session! I hope that you guys had an awesome time with Michelle’s parents. Can’t wait to met all the family at the wedding.

Here are just a few images from the session.
