Elephant Rock in the Gold Coast turned on its absolute best charms for Joyce and Jacky's pre-wedding photography session. They flew all the way from their home city of Hong Kong to enjoy this beautiful rocky feature on Currumbin Beach.
A pre-wedding session in Hong Kong (and many parts of Asia and South-East Asia) is similar to an engagement shoot but the bride-and-groom-to-be wear wedding-style clothing. Joyce wore a wedding dress but Jacky changed into 3 or 4 different outfits throughout our two hour session. This added a fresh element to each frame that I shot and every different area we photographed in.
The Currumbin, Gold Coast sunset was so stunning on this particular evening and a great backdrop to the end of the pre-wedding photo shoot.
We all didn't want the evening to end especially once we started talking about Radiohead and Muse.
See you in Hong Kong Joyce and Jacky so we can continue our musical chats. I look forward to seeing you rock on stage also Jacky - could be another great opportunity to photograph you!
Enjoy...

Gold Coast Hinterland Wedding, Peppers Ruffles Lodge - Niusha & Lachie
Love conquered the forecast of rain on the Gold Coast (Pepper's Ruffles Lodge) for this beautiful bride and dapper groom's gorgeous wedding day. The sun was shining most of the day as was everyone's smiles.
Niusha & Lachie's ceremony brought tears to both of their eyes and mine too! Their love for each other is so blatant and very powerful. The bond they share is nothing short of inspiring and infectious.
Pepper's Ruffles Lodge offered Lachie & Niusha the wedding of their dreams with luxurious accomodation, expansive views of the gold coast skyline (surfers paradise) and fine dining with food to die for.
The details that Niusha and Lachie paid attention to were very special. Persian rugs adorned their ceremony floor. Candles in lanterns marked the entrance to their ceremony and reception. Every guest who attended their wedding received a small pot with a succulent and a cute card that said "let love grow". And this sums up the delightful bride and groom's relationship in a nutshell; they let their love grow and flourish without limitations.
So, so, beautiful.
Enjoy...

What a year it has been! We have worked with so many beautiful couples and heard the most heartwarming and inspiring stories along the way. We've had the privilege of photographing stunning Australian weddings from The Sunshine Coast (Queensland) to Byron Bay (New South Wales) to Melbourne (Victoria).
Some of our favourite wedding moments from 2015 are below. 2016 is looking to be an amazing year of weddings. We're starting the new year photographing a Sunshine Coast Hinterland wedding in Maleny and on Queenland's gorgeous Fraser Island!
We hope you all enjoy many happy moments and continue to learn, love and laugh as much as possible next year.
All the very best in 2016!
Big Love,

Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast Wedding - Brisbane, Australian Photographer
This is a love story that was many years in the making. Thankfully the stars aligned for this gorgeous Brisbane couple!
And now this pair are Mr and Mrs living their happily ever after as each of these beautiful souls so deserve.
Sufers Paradise on the Gold Coast delivered an epic and absolutely stunning wedding day weather for Ilena and Jason (Brisbane). The Watermark Hotel presented a touch of elegance to their ceremony and a perfect position to make the most of the amazing Surfers city and beach surrounds for their couple portraits.
This was an Australian destination wedding that dreams are made of.
A perfect wedding day for a delightful couple from Brisbane.
Enjoy X
