Emily & Nick | Hyatt – Sanctuary Cove | Gold Coast wedding video

November 29th, 2011

Gold Coast Wedding Video

I can’t even begin to count how many times I have filmed a wedding video at the Hyatt in Sanctuary Cove, but this had to be the biggest bridal party ever:  4 bridesmaids, 4 groomsmen, 7 flower girls and 4 page boys.  In the clip you will see the couples’ daughter, Avah, who will make your heart melt with some of the candid moments I captured of her.  At one point in the ceremony she blew the crowd a kiss and gave the cheekiest smile afterwards!

I started the day with the ladies in their hotel room at the Hyatt, and because makeup artist Donna Sullivan is so darn efficient the girls were finished by the time I got there.  So I just watched them have a few laughs and open a bottle of champers before it was time for Emily to get into her gorgeous wedding dress.

The Hyatt wedding chapel was  packed with family and friends and Gold Coast based wedding celebrant Karen Miles was on hand to perform her usual brilliant service.  Nick cried as Emily’s grandfather walked her down the aisle which was a huge moment for the couple.  I learned shortly after posting this video that Em’s grandfather had a bad turn back in February and that his plan to walk the bride down the aisle was up in the air.  Adding his voice to the beginning of this highlight clip was unplanned, but it meant so much to the family.  I guess it shows that some things are just meant to be.

Tiffany & Tony // The Hyatt, Sanctuary Cove

December 13th, 2010

Tiffany & Tony were married in December at the Hyatt Chapel in Sanctuary Cove – a place I have filmed many times before.

One of things that really stood out to me on the day was the amazing landscapes we had during our location shoot at the Spit in Main Beach. The sun was shining, but the backdrop on the horizon was dark and cloudy – a great contrast and something not seen often.

I was fortunate to be working around two professional friends of mine: celebrant Karen Miles and photographer Josh White of White Pearl Photography.

Filmed with a Canon 5d Mark II

Amanda & David // Colonial Golf Course, Gold Coast

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.

Please click on the “HD” button in the playable window if you wish to see the clip in high definition.  Slower connections will need to let the video load a bit before viewing.  If you would like to leave a comment you can do so down below.
