I just had to add this little clip from a wedding I filmed in April at the Hyatt in Sanctuary Cove. This was possibly the cutest moment with a Page Boy I have ever seen. I won’t spoil it – have a look.

Rachel & Tony, wedding highlights
June 29th, 2010
Rachel & Tony were married at Cedar Creek Winery & Estate on Mt Tamborine. Although it was a winter day on the mountain the conditions were near perfect for the event and the trees provided amazing backdrops full of color. Throw in a full moon and a lunar eclipse and you could say mother nature herself was smiling over this wedding.
I really came to realize how small of a world it can be sometimes as Rachel & Tony know three other wedding couples I have had the privilege of filming for. One couple in particular, Michelle & Joel Dean (March 2010), were there and Joel even provided MC duties for the evening.
Tom Baker handled the photography and we have worked alongside one another many times. He lives on the mountain and knows the area so well.

Jasmine & Robert, wedding highlights
June 16th, 2010
I was really looking forward to this wedding shoot and, after meeting up with Jasmine a week before over coffee, I was even more so. She had me excited about what the day as well and I knew it would be perfect. This was only the second time I have filmed at the The Southport School Chapel and what a setting it was for a ceremony.
The rain stayed away and the sun stayed around long enough for me and photographer Derek Smith (who makes a cameo) to get some stunning shots. We had Jasmine spin in her wedding dress near a colorful tree and when a certain tiny guest joined in the fun it made for a magical moment. The candid shots I captured during the photo session really shows off their personalities and is what my style is all about.
Allure did the girls hair and makeup and they are brilliant. Check out their site here.

Danielle & Chris, wedding highlights
May 22nd, 2010
“We woke up to an absolutely perfect day, weather wise !! The day was very relaxed & everything just flowed perfectly… a few champagnes for the girls while we were getting ready & some beers for the boys. The minute we pulled up to the ceremony i thought “This is it… all the planning & effort that went into our wedding & the day was finally here” Again, we could not have asked for the weather to be anymore perfect & the location was stunning (Point Danger at Coolangatta). Onto the beach for photos & a few drinks to celebrate & finished off with a beautiful sunset. You can probably tell by the footage that our reception was pretty loose… that is exactly what we wanted… everyone to just party & have a good time… I think we succeeded cause so many of our guests have commented on what fun they had 
To sum it up… The whole day was perfect… & we had an absolute ball!!” – Danielle
———————————————————————————————————
Barbara filmed this for me and I must say she must have had her hands full at the reception! That must have been one wild night from the dance footage I saw (and some I couldn’t put in this video!)

Emma-Lee & Coby, wedding highlights
May 15th, 2010
I had never been to Hastings Point before and the headland proved to be a spectacular setting for the ceremony. It also had been awhile since I had worked alongside Ruth Petre of Wet Paint Photography and we had a blast! The views provided a great backdrop for both the nuptials and the bridal party photo session with Emma Lee & Coby making a pit stop to the place where they had shared their first kiss.
The reception was held at Tweed Golf Club where my good friend, Drew Jackson, DJed the party into the late hours. All in all it was a perfect day.
**On a side note, Ruth is now off to get married as well in Las Vegas! You don’t by chance need video for that do you!?

Heidi & Paul, wedding highlights
May 12th, 2010
Heidi & Paul were married at Braeside Chapel in Merrimac on the Gold Coast with their reception just up the road at Lakelands Golf Club.
I didn’t meet Paul til I rocked up to the ceremony site, but I could tell from he and his groomsmen that they were a lot of fun. The bride arrived by horse and carriage with and as you can tell by the video had quite the entourage. The nuptials were followed by a butterfly release and then we all zipped around the golf course to get our shots in while the sun waned.
It was great to see a few familiar faces in the crowd including Sheree & Nathan, whose wedding I also filmed late last year, and the brides mother Chrissie, who shares an American accent with me. Always good to hear another yank! I don’t run into them all that much.

Sandra & Jaydem, wedding highlights
April 19th, 2010
“Wow, wow, wow!!! Geoff, thank you SO MUCH for the brilliant job you did. We can’t stop smiling!!! You are every bit the genius we knew you would be. Thanks for getting our little baby in there too! We can’t wait to see what magic you work with our video! Thank you so much!” – Sandra & Jaydem
Sandra & Jaydem were a wonderful couple and I had so much fun time capturing such an important day in their lives. It all started out early with the girls as they made the preparations at a unit in Southport while the boys did what they do best by sitting around, watching footy and having a cold one at the couples’ place in Oxenford. As soon as I walked in I noticed Sabre, their pet Bull Mastiff and I couldn’t leave without getting some playful shots of him.
The ceremony and reception was on South Stradbroke Island hosted by An Island Hideaway. Where owners Bennie & Michelle always host a great wedding event. Photographers Grant and Kathy from Ashford Studio flew up from Sydney to take the snaps and despite the fact this was our first time working together we gelled perfectly. The sunset provided a sensational backdrop for the last few minutes with the bridal party before dark and I was able to film a few amazing moments on the beach.

Amanda & David, wedding highlights
April 10th, 2010
I think it would be tough for a couple to make any easier for me. When I met up with Amanda & David a few weeks before the wedding I knew it was going to be a fun event. Both of them were so at ease and laid back, but the emotions on the day were running quite high and it was hard not to get wrapped up in the atmosphere.
Colonial Golf Course in Robina was the setting and celebrant Karen Miles conducted the ceremony. I seem to be running into Karen a lot these days and she performed a brilliant service with the personal touch she brings. The couple laughed and smiled throughout the entire nuptials and must have stole more than a few kisses but saved the best for when it counted.
Amanda & David’s fun-loving nature can really be seen at the reception, but I won’t spoil it for anyone.
