Mr & Mrs Fontaine - 5th January 2019 - Townsville

I had the pleasure of capturing Naomi and Daniel’s special day recently here in Townsville. Leading up the wedding there was concern about the weather and even though it rained briefly in the morning it all cleared up and turned out to be a glorious day! Bride and groom prep was at The Ville which has new great surroundings which I utilized for capturing Daniel and his groomsmen with plenty of laughs and banter in between! When I arrived to Naomi I was greeted with a beautiful happy smile from the bride to be and her makeup and hair were flawless and I couldn’t wait to get her in her dress and start capturing the stunning bride she would be! Naomi’s vibrant and bubbly nature is infectious and we had a great time capturing her portrait and laughed a little too much!

The ceremony was held up at the Heritage Tea Rooms at the Bush Chapel which is located in lovely surrounds and we got some great shots there before we headed back into town to a couple more locations before heading back to The Ville for the reception. Naomi was a stunning bride and I took every opportunity to showcase off her amazing gown and Daniel was looking pretty slick in his suit so it was easy to overshoot these guys!!! The entrance to their reception was extra special as a group of talented young senior dancers from TAPA (Townsville Academy of Performing Arts) where Naomi works as a dance teacher lead them in with a great performance!!

I had a such a fun day capturing this gorgeous couple and I wish Naomi and Daniel all the happiness for their future together as Mr & Mrs Fontaine!!! :)

Mr & Mrs Brown - 20th April 2018 - Magnetic Island

Kate and Jason traveled across ocean to Magnetic Island recently to say I do's! Magnetic Island is such a special place and what a more fitting place for a special couple that Kate and Jason are to start the next chapter in their lives together!

Kate and Jason are from my home town of Ayr and are such down to earth people with a great sense of humor so we hit if off from the start so come their wedding day it felt like I was capturing a friends wedding! :) Jason is quite the romantic with surprising Kate with some amazing gifts and a lovely hand written card with each gift which had Kate's heart skipping and looking forward  to marrying the man of her dreams! Kate looked stunning in her gown from Wedding Gowns by Melinda and she had a smile that was not fading and rightly so! Who wouldn't be ecstatic finally arriving to the day that she gets to marry her soul mate! :) Jason looked on point with his suit from Michael's Mens and Boys Wear and I loved his sport jacket and bow-tie!!

The weather was flawless and the location of their ceremony was a gorgeous spot overlooking the beach at Picnic Bay! After group and family photos we had an awesome afternoon with just Kate and Jason capturing some precious memories of them on this very special day! We visited the Picnic Bay Jetty and finished up at the Boulders for sunset before heading to Peppers for the party!! Awesome day, awesome couple!! Congrats Kate and Jason and thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day! :)

Mr & Mrs Brough - 10th April 2018 - Townsville

Doug and Megan said I do's recently at Anderson Gardens in Townsville surrounded by family and close friends. Townsville turned on the weather and it was an awesome day to get married in the park! Laughs a plenty with Doug and the lads in the morning which carried on throughout the day!! :) Megan looked stunning in her dress and walking with her mother towards her husband to be Doug who had a smile from ear to ear to see his wife to be! Their gorgeous daughter Evelyn almost stole the show with her gorgeous little red locks and cheeky smile! I love the shot I capture of their first kiss where you can see Evelyn's head popping up in between them to see what mum and dad were up to! Too cute! :) Thank you Doug and Megan for choosing me to capture your special day! It was an honour! :)

Mr & Mrs Knuth - 7th April 2018 - Charters Towers Wedding

Megan & Karl tied the knot on Karl's family run cattle station on the banks of the Burdekin River just south of Charters Towers and it was stunning! :) Leading up to the wedding was a little stressful as the only access to the wedding for their 240 guests was via a dirt road and a cattle grid bridge and with all the rain Charters Towers had the weeks leading up to the wedding it was touch and go! The weather cleared up the week of the wedding and everything came together on their special day! Megan is such a gorgeous young lady inside and out and looked stunning in her dress. Karl is a strapping young man and was looking very slick in his dark navy suit!!

Had a great afternoon full of laughs on our location shots with Megan, Karl and their awesome fun bridal party! We ended our location shots with Karl and the men herding in weaners in a cattle yard to get some great shots of Karl and Megan amongst the cattle! I wont' lie I was a little unsure of the situation at first as the cattle were giving me the stare down but it was all gravy and we got some cracking shots! :) The reception was pretty special under a massive marquee lined with fairy lights. Great vibe throughout the night and the sparkler tunnel exit was epic!! Congrats Megan and Karl and it was an honour to be a part of your special day! :)
