M+A Lightspace Inner City Brisbane

Tucked away in a little back street of Fortitude Valley is an amazing building, called Lightspace! 

M+A wanted their wedding to be all about great company, food and wine! They had just been through about 5 weddings in their family alone in the last 6 months & decided to ditch normal formalities & go with relaxing good times instead. We had about 5 mins of creative shooting time around the building with just the 2 of them, as they didnt want to be away from family & friends too long. 

White+White provided amazing styling & the feasting tables looked sooo inviting & warm. The building itself hosts high ceilings & amazing warehouse feeling architecture, with a unique warming cozy feeling to it. 

The food was a feast for the eyeballs! Then, celebrity chef Alistair McLeod delivered the back story behind where the food came from in his quirky, humorous way! 

S + A at Austinvilla Estate 2hr coverage

A beautiful day, a little steamy due to early Jan, but great winds come through at this stunning spot at Austinvilla Estate!

This couple wanted a simple, but elegant wedding. They chose a 2 hr coverage, rather than the whole day.

So for those looking at not having a photographer in their space for extended periods, or are on a budget, here’s an example of the end result of photography for under $1000. This is only a small section of 300 images, so there’s heaps more documentary, family and creative photos.

Martine + Matt: Novotel Twin Waters Noosa

I thought I'd put up an example of a whole wedding. So as not to take hours to go through, this is still a selection, as normally a full coverage gives you between 450 and 600 images. This is a selection of each part of the day, from getting ready, documentary of guests arriving, the ceremony, documentary of congratulations, family & group photos, creative shoot with the bridal party, through to the start of the reception. 

What a fab day! I am blessed to be invited to hang out with cool people, in cool places! Novotel Twin Waters, a fab venue that looks after everything & a crack up funny (near wet your pants laughing!) celebrant, Lynette Maguire. And this bridal party were hilarious & fun the whole time!

Here's a collection of images from last year. It was hard getting them to 10! 

A shot from an old favorite spot near Brisbane, Shorncliffe Jetty. The perfect moment.. though her Mum wasn't impressed with getting her dress dirty.. until she saw the images!

I am lucky to splash around in water for my job occasionally. Well, I was saturated after this shoot at Sunshine Beach in QLD. Fab couple and bridal party who weren't scared of getting wet, or having alot of fun!

I love it when couples just relax into a shoot, allowing their personality to come through. I love how this image shows a different side to being in love... its the fun, happiness & ultimately the friendship!

Aghh, a personal artty one. Occasionally (and I should do it more!) I will have a play around and do some creative shots. This one is just at home, while cleaning up the backyard of dreaded leaves dropping in Autumn. It captures the feel of the seas…

Aghh, a personal artty one. Occasionally (and I should do it more!) I will have a play around and do some creative shots. This one is just at home, while cleaning up the backyard of dreaded leaves dropping in Autumn. It captures the feel of the season, colours too. And I normally don't go for pinks!

A totally fun couple! A slightly posed shot, ie... 'just go and stand over there' style... it was amazing it get an intimate moment from such a distance, especially considering for most of the shoot they were mucking around and laughing! At Twin Wat…

There were so many strong shots from this shoot, but this has to be my fav. It happened to be a rainy day, so we worked in the studio instead of the planned location shoot, but it didn't hinder our collaborative efforts.

Being able to capture the magic of childhood is what got me into photography to begin with. Being able to act like a kid to encourage kids to get away from the "say cheese" that's been drummed into them. Photographed at their home, allows these two …

I just love the softness of this image. Light, bright and airy... well windy! Often these types of shots ended up being the couples favourite, the captured on the fly style.
