Camilla & Dean – Tweed heads
A few months back I was invited to shoot the wedding of Camilla and Dean, who were married in a quaint ceremony at Tweed heads. I started out the day at Palm Beach, documenting the preparation of both the boys and girls as they went about their business of getting ready for the nuptials. Then it was off to Tweed Heads, where the couple tied the knot outside, under the leafy branches of several large fig trees and a glorious blue sky.
When the vows were spoken and the deeds signed, we took some photos nearby, and then headed off to Fingal for a late afternoon photo shoot. We didn’t have much time, but we got some lovely shots, and a good time was had by all. Afterwards we returned to the Tweed Heads Golf Club for the reception, a moving and emotional evening. The entertainment for the night was the exquisite band The Lamplights, who entertained the guests long into the night.
A lovely wedding, a beautiful bride, and a happy and handsome groom. Thank you for having me guys, and I hope you enjoy the sample photos – many more to come!
Melissa & Tomas – Coolangatta
A few weeks back I had the great pleasure of photographing the wedding of Melissa and Tomas. Tomas got ready at Palm Beach, and Melissa prepared for the big day at Mantra Resort, Coolangatta. After some minor hiccups, the show got on the road and the wedding party descended on Froggy’s Beach, a hidden cove of white sand between Point Danger and Snapper Rocks. The nuptials took place against the glimmering ocean, and under a bright blue sky; the roar of the ocean was matched only by the cheer that went up when the bride and groom sealed their vows with a passionate kiss.
After some photos of the guests and family, I led the couple and the bridal party up to the hill above Snapper Rocks where we shot some photos against the setting sun, and not long afterwards we left for Burleigh, where the reception took place at Point Break. The speeches were moving and funny in equal parts, and the bridal waltz was beautiful. It was clear to myself – and I’m sure to everyone present – that Mel & Tomas are hopelessly in love, and are destined to a long and happy life together.
All the best guys, and enjoy the photo and video sample
