Jillian & Beau’s Fig Tree Restaurant Wedding is what Byron Bay weddings are all about.  A relaxed celebration of love under a magnificent Fig Tree with their families and friends, all while enjoying a sumptuous feast and stunning scenery.   Together with the professionalism of the Fig Tree Restaurant & Byron Bay Weddings it all came together seamlessly!

I loved the “relaxed elegance” of this wedding.  The white flowers with touches of blue & green worked so well against the soft pinks of the bridesmaids dresses and delicate lace of Julz’s gown (which was designed by Beau, actually!).  The classic blacks of the groomsmen’s suits and clean lines of the stationary juxtaposed with the mis-matched wooden chairs and gorgeous “naked cake” gave this wedding just the right balance.

However as is so often the case, it’s the people which really make a wedding great.   The outstanding personalities of Julz & Beau and their families and friends made this day a true delight!  Plus with the bridal party entering the reception room to the theme song of “Conan the Barbarian” you just knew there was going to be a fun night ahead!!

Congratulations again to you Julz & Beau, I’ll be forever smiling with the memories from your gorgeous day!!

This super cute Backyard Wedding Styled Shoot was crafted by the very talented Jennifer Gifford and fellow members at The Bride’s Market.

With the popularity of “at home” weddings on the rise, this shoot is featured in White Magazine Issue 26!  The wedding props provided by Signs of Wear had such gorgeous colours, and it was amazing to see how a little house in the suburbs of Brisbane could be dressed up for a wedding so beautifully.  Such a fun shoot, I loved photographing every second!  Full credits can be found below.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a Hayman Island wedding?  When Abbie first mentioned to me that she was planning to get married at Hayman I couldn’t hide my look of surprise, as her family runs Victoria’s at Ewingsdale, a divine wedding venue in the hills of Byron Bay.  Within the next second however, I realised how right she was. There surely couldn’t be a better way for her family & friends to completely relax than being on an island sipping on cocktails, far far away from any thought of work!  The only draw-back in Abbie’s eyes was that her “other man”, a young, handsome, hairy fellow named Ollie (her beloved dalmatian), wouldn’t be able to come.  However in the end he was definitely there in other ways… at the reception table and the first dance!!

Hayman Island in September is perfect.  Perfect warm weather, perfect whales jumping out of the ocean, perfect flowering orchids and the most perfectly turquoise water you can ever see.  The One & Only Resort had just reopened after being re-furbished, and so it was looking pretty good too.  As if by divine providence an immense full “super moon” rose over the horizon just after Abbie & Anthony’s first dance.  Is it always that perfect, or did we just get lucky?

Something tells me though, that with all of this ‘perfection’…. as long as Abbie & Anthony had their friends & family with them it really wouldn’t have mattered where they got married.  While there is pleasure in beautiful locations and beautiful things (and as a photographer I certainly love photographing these),  it was Abbie & Anthony’s close connection with their friends and family plus their relaxed approach to the day that truly made their wedding great.

Abbie & Anthony, thank you yet again for inviting me to photograph your incredible day.   Abbie – I will always remember your infectious laugh and radiant smile; Anthony – I’ll never forget your razor-sharp ‘Blue Steel’!!  Warmest wishes to you both for many beautiful adventures (with Ollie & Will and other furry friends) throughout the years ahead.  Lastly, massive thanks to my fantastic partner Ed for assisting me, forever & always my wing-man and my rock.

This styled shoot for the Byron Bay Wedding Fair brought together some of the amazing talents of the Byron Bay wedding community.  “Watercolour Dreaming” was chosen as a theme to reflect the soft colours and relaxed style of Byron Bay without being too ‘boho cliche’.  The weather was a little touch-and-go throughout the day however to our great delight we were gifted with a rainbow late in the afternoon!  Featured in North Coast Wedding Magazine Issue 12, it was so wonderful to work with such a creative team to bring this shoot together!  Full credits are listed below.

Tanya & Scott’s elegant Summergrove Estate wedding was an absolute delight!  Summergrove Estate is a spectacular wedding venue offering massive views to the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads and Mt Warning.  If you haven’t been there yet, I highly recommend a Sunday drive followed by lunch or dinner at their restaurant!

It was the perfect setting and the most perfect winter’s day for Tanya & Scott to tie the knot in front of their closest family & friends.  Every minute of their day was beautiful and relaxed, with a heartfelt ceremony, gorgeous sunset, hilarious speeches and the unexpected highlight of the two Dad’s dancing together!

Thanks again Tanya & Scott for having me on board, and best wishes for many fun-filled adventures in the future!
