~Natalie & Mike~ *Married* {Byron Bay Wedding Photographer}

Here's a story...of a lovely lady...well, you know the rest. All they are missing is the live-in housekeeper named Alice. Natalie & Mike's family is now an 8 pack of joy & love. It was a fabulous non traditional wedding! It was like going to a glamorous dinner party where the main entertainment was a beautiful intimate ceremony. It was held on a gorgeous coffee bean farm...Byron Beans to be exact. Eat Drink Catering provided that beautiful tent, the gorgeous food and a few more extras. And can you believe that Natalie's mother made that stunning dress?? Natalie & Mike both greeted their guests... shared drinks, laughs, hugs and canapés. And then just before dusk, they all came together in an intimate ceremony. Simply PERFECT!

As if that wasn't great enough, they honeymooned in Hawaii...I was so jealous. I would love to take a trip home to Hawaii...next year definitely!

Enjoy!

~Louise & Simon~ *Married* {Gold Coast Wedding Photographer}

When I met Louise last year, I knew this wedding was going to go off without a hitch. She had an amazing inspiration book and she knew EXACTLY what she wanted for their special day. She was lovely to meet with and gorgeous to boot. So I knew her husband-to-be would be just as fabulous...birds of a feather, well, you know. And I was absolutely right, Simon was lovely and handsome and the day was absolutely PERFECT. It was suppose to dump rain all day but mother nature was on board this time. Not a drop of rain and we were also graced with several rainbows...even double rainbows! Hastings Point is quickly becoming my favourite location...every wedding I've shot there has been UNBELIEVABLE!

Gorgeous location + Gorgeous couple = FABULOUS WEDDING !!

Enjoy

~Zena's 80th~ {Gold Coast Portrait Photographer}

What a great family! Its Zena's 80th birthday...not that you're suppose to ask a lady her age. She obviously made an exception so that they could all celebrate. Zena is the matriarc of this family so to celebrate, they surprised her with a family portrait session and dinner atop a fabulous hotel in Surfer's Paradise. If only Mother Nature had gotten the memo...it was raining the whole session. So we made do and my husband held an umbrella over me and my equipment. Every session has been rained out for months...it has to end sometime. Right??? Enjoy this lovely family.
