Gold Coast Wedding Photographer Bec and Chris were married.at a private address
in the footfalls of Mt Tamborine, a comfortable drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Quite fortunately the location was close to the studio, allowing the prewedding shoot,
included with our wedding photography packages, to be shot on the property as well.
Over the past few years I have noticed an increase in the number of couples deciding
to hire marques and catering services to be married on family properties. The time the
family spent making decorations and tree ornaments really added a special touch to the day.
Arriving at the family home to document the getting ready stage of the day I was met by
a swarm of activity and a sea of welcoming faces.
Having been together for a number of years, Chris and Bec have been blessed with beautiful
daughters, who were all very excited to be part of the wedding celebrations. To my mind,
having children involved in the celebration adds a dimension to a wedding. There is something
about their excitement and enthusiasm that is quite contagious.
The service was conducted by Gayle Marcussen, an authorised marriage celebrant from Mt Tamborine.
I have had the fortune of photographing a number of weddings with Gayle and find her
services to be passionate and personalised. This region of south-east queensland is a
photographers dream, especially during late winter, early spring when the days are lengthening
and the air still cool. It also helped that the property itself had fantastic gardens
to work with and natural features like the Albert River and a strand of feature pine
trees. As with most adults, Chris and Bec were feeling
a little anxious about being photographed. I think that one of the strengths of my approach
to wedding photography is that I make people feel relaxed in front of the camera. I don't
try to contrive moments but provide opportunities for couples to interact naturally and candidly
with each other. Included in our Brisbane and Gold Coast wedding photography packages
is a couples portrait photography session, which helps to make couples feel in control
and confident on the day of the wedding. As a standard inclusion to all of our Brisbane
and Gold Coast wedding photography packages I stay until the conclusion of the reception.
This ensures that a really broad range of wedding photos are presented to my couples.
