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 :)

Sandy & Lou – Ewingsdale, Byron Bay

I shot this wedding with my sister, who runs her own boutique studio down in Byron, called Two Birds Wedding Photography. We concentrated on stills, but I also shot some film of the day’s highlights.

I loved the wedding. Lou and Sandy were wonderful people, warm and friendly and big-hearted. The ceremony took place at Ewingsdale Hall, just outside of Byron, a quaint wooden building full of character. Unfortunately the weather didn’t smile on us, but we still managed to get some lovely photos after the vows. Then there were speeches and music – it seemed like half the guests and both the familes knew how to sing and play instruments, which added a touch of magic to what was a beautiful evening…
