3.30am : Bec { the bride }, the girls and Bec & Nic’s { the groom } mums arrive at Applebom { the salon } for hair & makeup pampering
6am : I arrive at Applebom to start photographing the girls
7am : All the girls and me head back to Bec’s Mum and Dad’s to get Bec into her custom designed wedding dress that she designed herself and had made. She also made her fabric bouquets finished with buttons. Check out the silver glitter shoes Bec is wearing and the girls are wearing killer purple glitter shoes too – hot!
8.45am : I drive out to Preston Village Chapel & Manor to photograph Nic with the boys, family and guests
9.30am : Bec and the girls make their grand entrance at Preston Village Chapel & Manor in two chauffer driven Monaros for a beautiful and intimate morning ceremony with around 90 of their closest family and friends
10am : lots of fun congratulations photos while the guests mingle with the newly married couple, group photo and family portraits
11.15am : I head off with the bridal party, a yellow Monaro and a blue Monaro, a ute with an old weathered chaise lounge on the tray, and a few must have nibbles and drinks down the road for a few photos … the middle of the day and hot blazing sun isn’t the best time to be taking photos but we worked with it … but luckily for an awesome bride and groom, and bridal party, we were going out again later when we had soft afternoon light after the guests have gone. yeah!
12.15pm : back to the reception for breakfast – yep you heard me right, continential breakfast style wedding reception!! … who doesn’t love an all day breakfast … I sure do! With hilarious speeches, shenanigans in the photo booth, cake cutting and dancing for the afternoon
3.30pm : the bride and groom depart in the Monaro … *insert rattling tin cans dragging behind the car and screeching brakes* … hold up they aren’t really going anywhere, but the guests are ready to leave as alot of them had travelled a distance to be there to celebrate with Nic & Bec. We { me & the bridal party } however are going out to continue out photoshoot. The girls have now been up 12 hours and still in fine spirit … the shoot goes for an hour, and so well worth it as we got some beautiful photos in a little spot I scouted out the day before.
4.30pm : Wedding day ends.
Conclusion : this was my first morning wedding and I have to say I loved it. Its great being up at that time of the morning, especially in Toowoomba where we are in the middle of Autumn and fog was about, the air was crisp and being able to watch the sunrise. The day seemed so much more relaxed, and even though we did the first location shoot at the worst time of day where the sun was harsh and so bright overhead, I loved working in natural light all day long which is so much more flattering in photos than flash photography, plus we still got in our second location shoot when the light is soft and beautiful and well I love country weddings and shooting in places with lots of long weedy grass. Me one happy photographer :-)
Check out highlights from the wonderful day that was Nic & Bec’s wedding day … but I do warn you there are lots of images so the page might load a bit slowly … please be patient as I believe they all deserve to be on here …

I couldn’t have asked for more spectacular weather for last Saturday’s lovebirds session with Georgina & Michael on the beach at The Spit, Gold Coast – and boy did the weather gods owe me after the previous Saturday’s horrid rainy weather they delivered for Geraldine & Robert’s wedding.
Im so in love with G&M’s session – all the elements just came together so perfectly.
Georgina & Michael are one of those cute couples that just don’t know how cute they are together, we had a pretty spectacular location – The Spit on the Gold Coast, the weather was amazing for a beach photoshoot, the afternoon light was amaaaazing (that’s a photographer thing) and I believe we made some beautiful magic come to life in the photos …or maybe it was the fact that we were expecting a full moon that night – infact a ‘super Moon’ … read more
Im so excited to be shooting Georgina & Michael’s wedding later in the year which is out on the family’s country property … yippee !!
I had a real hard time picking just a few highlights from this Lovebirds photoshoot as there were so many great ones, then whether to feature them in colour or b&w cause they look great as both … well enjoy my selection.

Last Saturday 5 May 2012, I had an engagement session on the beach at The Spit on the Gold Coast, however on the day, I had no idea that it was a special day in astrology science but it was a “super Moon”. Fortunately, and I quote a statement my client that day said “you are such a photographer” which was meant as a compliment and so taken as a compliment, that while waiting for my couple to show up, during and after, I clicked off a few random shots because it was a spectacular warm Autumn day on the beach and the sunset was even more spectacular, but not knowing I was capturing images of this “super Moon”.
Maybe you could put the spectacular afternoon light display down to it being a full moon and a “super Moon”.
The full Moon has a reputation for trouble. It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes. If a moonbeam wakes you up on the night of May 5th, 2012, you might want to get out of bed and take a look. This May’s full Moon is a “super Moon,” as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012.
The scientific term for the phenomenon is “perigee moon.” Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon’s orbit. The Moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side (“perigee”) about 50,000 km closer than the other (“apogee”). Full Moons that occur on the perigee side of the Moon’s orbit seem extra big and bright.
Such is the case on May 5th at 11:34 pm Eastern Daylight Time1 when the Moon reaches perigee. Only one minute later, the Moon will line up with Earth and the sun to become brilliantly full. The timing is almost perfect.

Here are some of those random shots I took that day …
You can see the “super Moon” starting to appear in this image at 5:01:32 PM
