Jess & Nicolas | Arundel Hills Country Club | Gold Coast wedding video

March 18th, 2011

Gold Coast Wedding Video

Ok let me just state first that Nicolas is tall…really tall! Which made some shots a challenge on the day, but also creating some opportunities.

Jess and Nick had their entire day at Arundel Hills Country Club on the Gold Coast with their ceremony officiated by Gary Taylor – who I seem to be running into a lot lately. With the weather cooperating we zipped out onto the golf course to a few favorite locations where the bridal party relaxed and drank before heading back for the reception to party the night away.

Daughters Chelsea and Briana were such a fun part to the wedding. Carrying the train of the dress and providing some beautiful candid moments with mom and dad.

Natalie & Dean | Sirromet Winery | Brisbane wedding video

January 22nd, 2011

Brisbane Wedding Video

Fashion photographer Natalie Lynn and her husband Dean were married at Sirromet Winery on the bank of the lagoon. It was only the second time I have been to the venue and I wasn’t about to let its beautiful landscapes full of vineyards and hills go to waste.

The day was full of unique ideas and the couple wowed the crowd when they entered the reception with a dance inspired by the movie ‘The Mask.’

Kristee & Nev // An Island Hideaway

November 17th, 2010

Kristee & Nev are from Melbourne and decided to fly to the Gold Coast and host their big day here.

The boat ride to South Stradbroke is always picturesque, when the weather cooperates, and the guests seemed to enjoy the short ferry to the island while soaking up the scenery.

I have filmed quite a few weddings at An Island Hideaway now and owners Michele & Bennie always get rave reviews about their venue.  I always look forward to my shoots there.

Filmed on a Canon 5d Mark II and viewable in HD.

Amy & Craig // Happy Everafter In Your Eyes

November 5th, 2010

Amy & Craig are friends of mine and when I found out they were getting married I of course put my hand up to be there and capture their day.

All Souls Anglican Church was the setting for the nuptials in the small, but beautiful town of Bangalow. The bride’s dress was stunning and you could really feel the energy throughout the entire ceremony between these two amazing people.

I used Amy’s processional song, “Happy Everafter in Your Eyes” by Ben Harper for the soundtrack. It’s shorter than what I am used to but the clip is still powerful and full of emotion.

Congratulations Amy & Craig and good luck in the UK. It was a pleasure to be there for you two on one of the biggest days of your lives.

Kara & Brad // Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast

October 22nd, 2010

How do you impress two friends who are in the wedding industry themselves, at the top of their game as photographers and have seen your work before and have worked with you?

You ask one of Australia’s finest cinematographer’s to help you out of course!

My good friend Daniel from No Limit Pictures, based near Sydney, was gracious enough to lend his time and talent for this shoot with me. I couldn’t help but be a bit nervous the night before wondering how it would all go. How the weather would be, how Dan and I would mix as shooters and adding the Master of Ceremonies to my list of duties for the day.

It all turned out perfectly!

Choosing the right song for each couple is one of the hardest choices I have before editing. Using a different song would completely alter how the story goes and how it is perceived. I knew Kara and Brad liked Bon Jovi especially since the groom was blasting it during his preparations.

If you watch carefully enough you will see things happen to the beat with a few natural segues. Marrying the footage between Dan and I was seamless at times which made the editing flow so well.

Of course the day was made possible with the help of some amazing professionals in the wedding industry:

Celebrant: Clarah Luxford
Makeup & Hair: Allure Professional Makeup & Hair (Julie & Kerryn)
Photobooth: Flash Functions
Wedding Singer: Elly Hart
Performers: Sex & Chocolate
Wedding venue: Royal Pines Resort
Flowers:  Divine Wedding Flowers

Congratulations Kara and Brad! I hope this will allow you to relive your day for years to come.
