So, all of our cameras have a name…well, according to me anyway. Brett isn’t really a big fan of referring to them with human names in front of people… something about sounding like a crazy nerd {?!}… Once a friend told me that when you get a gun in the defense force, they make you name it. Something to do with respecting it enough to care for it properly… I don’t know, I just like naming things :) So we have Penny, Sammy, Nick, Creamy and now MINI!!!

I think it was fate that brought us together. Like whoever discovered that Vegemite on wheat-bix was worth a try, mini just stumbled into my world. It was last night, late night shopping with Brett. We had just got a few things from City Beach when one of those annoying buzzing surf board stealing-detectors decided to paint an invisible flashing light over my head saying “THIEF!” as we were walking out. So the guy in the shop took us back to the counter to check our tags. While onlookers were judging our character… I saw HER! Hiding amongst the wall of noosed key chains was Mini. The cute tinyness of her sent me into a high pitched frenzy…”OOOOOOh my Gaaaaaawsh-so TINY!!!-BretttTTTTT!!!” Needless to say, Brett wasn’t exactly as thrilled as I was to discover such a cute, tiny little morsel of a camera key chain.

And, it gets even better. As I was at the counter all on my own… Brett had decided to safeguard any self dignity and leave me to it… I discovered that when you press her shutter release she makes a noise of the film rolling and fires her FLASH! Seriously. I don’t think I have EVER taken so much joy in $7.99.

My goodness… Brad & Jaimi… These two are so amazing. Jaimi is such a chilled out ball of fun and Brad is madly, deeply, infatuatedly in love her. It is always such a joy to get to hang out with people so in love on one of their biggest and most memorable days of their lives.

Pretty much everything took place at Lakelands {apart from beach pics at Broadbeach}. Erin the coordinator at Lakelands is a true legend! She was all over the weather radar on her two-way, with threatening showers all afternoon… and kept everything running perfectly the entire day.

The ceremony was conducted by Renee Wilkins and included Brad & Jaimi’s two boys which was so sweet!

As much as I LOVE weddings and the mushy stuff that goes with them, I usually don’t get ‘too’ caught up in all the emotion of the ceremony… but seriously, I had TEARS when Jaimi walked down the aisle! The way Brad looked at her as she graced the red carpet was simply heart tingling. It was like that part of the movie when the hero comes back from years at war…standing on the horizon…snow falling and his damsel walks slowly and purposefully toward him, ready to spend eternity forever…awww gosh…sniff sniff…

A bride of the future learning the tricks of the trade… :)

Aww Jaimi, you’re beautiful.

I was SO excited when we got to the beach and there was blue sky! Because we often have ’sunset’ photos at the beach, the sky is already pink/mauve when we get there. Which is lovely, but sometimes its nice to have blue for a change. :)

As I was getting this shot, Brett was driving the buggy - I was carefully *leeeeeeeaning* out to avoid the windscreen when Brett thought he would help BUMP be out a little further by doing a hard turn to the left. I seriously nearly went flying across the fairway…

You cant really tell, but it was actually RAINGING here! We started with the umberella but Jaimi decided a little rain was kinda fun, so we ditched it. :)

LOVE the laugh…

There is one thing that I just adore about Jaimi and that is her laugh! It is so contagiously adorable!

One of my most favies from the day. Taken by Brett.

mmm…long grass…

On Saturday we had the pleasure of covering Ty and Jess’s wedding at Burleigh Headland. The day was BEAUTIFUL and the weather was perfect. We started with the girl’s preps. at the penthouse suit at the gorgeous Swell resort. Swell is probably one of my fave Burleigh resorts, really nice and modern and light… perfect for bridal photos!

Then we headed to the headland for the ceremony…

And to Burleigh Beach for bridal shots…

Well, that’s me today. I am totally blown away at how blessed we are and busting with excitement for the future… {like it’s Christmas tomorrow excited}. Anyways, just wanted to tell the world, lol. Hopefully you are having a SUPER-happy-exciting- loved ones filled-shockingly AWESOME {!}weekend and i’ll catch you later :)

Here is a pic of Miss E. That’s what we call her when we don’t want her to know we are talking about her. Coz’ she knows, you know…

And here is one from when she was a little bub… CRAZY how fast they grow up

Saturday was was a bit of an event for us. Not that every wedding isn’t an event, but this one was kinda extra special to us. We met Allen and Alecia way back for the engagement session, then more recently their trash the dress session last month. During all these sessions and emails and phone calls leading up to the big day we got to know them more and more and in turn, love them more and more. So when their wedding day fiiiiiiinally arrived, it pretty much felt to us like we were covering a friends wedding {which is so much fun!}. It was so lovely to finally got to meet their amazing families and their darling little girls. :)

And because Allen & Alecia got married at Beaudesert we got a bit of a road trip in too - yay! So, we started with Alecia and the girls getting ready at her Nan’s beautiful house. Seriously. The entire house was surrounded by a rainbow of perfectly manicured flowering gardens - so pretty. And we also had Sam and Ed from Wild Bunch Weddings to keep us company for the day. They do some pretty funky stuff, totally recommend checking out their site.

Anyway, to the sneak peek…

Alecia’s gorgeous Maggie Sottero gown…

tiny princess shoes…

Alecia’s mum, Sue made all of the bouquets. Very talented.

Bella, Allen & Alecia’s youngest princess…

Thanks again for inviting us to share in your special day guys, it was an absolute pleasure. xo

I have been emailing Jackie for quite a while now, so it was so great to finally get to meet both her and Graeme! PLUS she had a super inspiring idea for her engagement session that has kept me in anticipation ever since she mentioned it. So, Jackie is a lady with impeccable taste, so when it came to her engagement photos naturally she wanted something different and classy. When she first emailed me some of the ideas she had bubbling around, she begged me to not think she was a ‘weirdo’ - lol! If only she knew then the crazy ideas I had for the session. Okay, so the idea was “different n sexy but still classy n glam”. We kinda took a bit of inspiration from the Beckham Armani ad campaign and mashed it with the two amazingnesses that are Jackie and Graeme and this is what we came up with… so much FUN!

Thanks again for an amazing time guys, cant wait for the big day!

Ben and Danielle’s wedding…  Everything was so natural and perfect and stylish, such a beautiful day. Danielle would probably have to be THE mot easy going bride I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She was all “what ever you think…you know best…i’ll leave it to you…” which made it so much fun! We ran into John from Paradise Wedding Video who made the day full of laughter. :)

Almost everything was at The Villa {which is sadly closing for weddings at the end of the year} . The Villa is SO beautiful, everything is so elaborately divine.

Anyway, to the sneak peek…

Ben and the guys got ready at Royal Pines Resort…

The stunning Danielle… Doesn’t her smile just light up the room!

Okay, I wont go into great detail about what happened before this shot. But lets just say in involved two bridesmaids, a videographer and nickers…

Danielle’s gorgeous taste showed in her Alan Pinkus shoes

Danielle, you’re a star. Really.

The ceremony was held at The Braeside Chapel…

The simply strings Quartet are massively talented, their music sounded so heavenly…

We had a lovely golden hour with a light dust storm… mmm…

And then, in perfect timing, the wind picked up just as we were about to head inside for the reception

And they danced the night away…

CLICK HERE to view their SLIDESHOW. Note the catchy tunes by the Chili Peppers that Ben and Danielle did their first dance too… LOVE it!
