Ballina Wedding Expo

This weekend, the Ballina Bridal and Wedding Expo will again be held at the Ballina RSL. It's what I think is the best Bridal Expo on the entire coast, including the Gold Coast, as it mixes an excellent venue, good crowd numbers, and excellent suppliers all in the one place. It's also a cheap entry - for only $5 it gets you access to everyone you could possibly need for your wedding day.

We'll be there in the wonderfully light Anchorage Room to show off our beautiful magazine albums, and talk to all prospective brides about how we can make your special day even more wonderful. As an added bonus, we'll also show you something extra special, just to show you that we're really the best photographer you can get for you big day - but we won't let you in on that just yet :P

In the meantime, here's the poster we'll use as the main part of our display - see if you know anyone in the photo. This is obviously considerably reduced, the original file prints to 1.8 x 1.2m at a ridiculous resolution :P

See you all there!

Tyler & Natalie | Yamba wedding photographer

I have a confession to make.

I LOVE rainy weddings :P

It freaks most of my brides out - but to me - rain pushes wedding photos into places people don't normally go. Inside beautiful old buildings, stunning window light, beautiful muted tones - and of course - awesome skies.

Tyler and Natalie's wedding had the impending rain all day. Getting ready in Yamba, travelling to the Presbyterian church in Cowper, and back to the Yamba Shores Tavern for the reception - the rain threatened all day. Thankfully - it only spat, making it not only cool looking - but comfortable to still go to location at Turners Beach.

Enjoy some first looks at their photos - we loved these ones straight off the bat :P

Peter & Maxiina | Lismore wedding photographer

First wedding of the year - and a quick look and quick post at the first of the photos I looked at tonight.

And simply, it's one of the best backdrops I've seen in a long time.

On a property just north of Nimbin, get a look at the view from the top of the driveway.



The couple look pretty good too huh?

More to come .. enjoy :P

Ian & Karly | Yamba wedding

Something a little bit different for this post. We've just finished the album for Ian & Karly who were married at Moby Dick in Yamba in November. Rather than show off the photos as we usually do, we thought we'd show off the album design.

Also at this wedding as a bonus, fellow photographer Vicki James came along to assist and try out some new equipment. You'll see some of her work in this show, including some great detail shots, and a hilarious capture of some ... shenanigans in the hallway. We'll let you see the rest.

Enjoy the video :P

Craig & Kate | Gold Coast wedding photography

Craig & Kate chose a lovely beachside wedding at Currumbin for their ceremonly. The weather was warm, the sky blue and the surf provided a stunning backdrop for their day.

They also had a horse and carriage to take the bride to the ceremony, and after their photos on the beach, the whole bridal party walked down the beach to the amazingly built Currumbin Surf Club, which is built on a rockshelf. The whole reception looked straight over the shelf onto the ocean - an amazing venue!

Here's some pics.

Shannon & Amanda | Gold Coast wedding photography

Shannon & Amanda got married at the beautiful Radisson resort on the Gold Coast. Their wedding ceremony was positioned right in front of the massive water expanse at the Palm Meadows Golf Course which is right across the road. The day was beautiful and sunny with a hint of a dust storm that was in the distance which really amped up the colours.

PS - check out the awesomely lit cake at the end. I've emphasised it with some rear flash, but it really glowed from the across the room. A great idea.

Here's the pics.

Jamie & Michelle | Lismore wedding photography

Hot weddings seem to be the order of the season - but these guys put on a beautiful day in a great setting for their guest.

The ceremony was held at a lovely property in the hills near Lismore with the ceremony in front of a small dam on rolling grassy hills. These provided a great backdrop for the photos, as well as some awesome car machinery for the girls and Harleys for the guys.

The day ended with a reception at the Lismore Turf Club and a perfectly timed storm to cool down the day and give the guests a lightshow.

Enjoy the pics.
