Ryan and Melissa

Fiona Murphy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:54:12 +0000

Ryan and Mel were married late last year at Peppers Salt Resort & Spa in Kingscliff. It was such an amazingly bright and happy day. We photographed Ryans sister, Katrina’s wedding a few years ago, so it was lovely to catch up with her and “Danger” and meet the new addition. (She is gorgeous guys!) It was also so great to catch up with Melissa’s family again – we took some family photos for them early last year so felt rather at home with so many familiar friendly faces around.

There is lots I could say about their day, but I’m going to do it through photos instead- and also through the amazing videography by Geoff from Motion Art (If you are even remotely considering having video taken at your wedding you must check out his beautiful work!)

Enjoy

Oh wait, there was one thing I had to say- the purple undies! I laugh every time I catch a glimpse of those last photos haha!

Rob and Courtney

Rob and Courtney were married at the amazing Glengariff Historical Estate a few months back. Their wedding was so beautiful, beautiful people, beautiful venue, perfect weather and a loving vibe. It doesn’t get much better

Enjoy!

Darryl and Eileen

Not too long before their wedding, Darryl and Eileen purchased a beautiful new home, and decided to change the location of their wedding from their booked venue, back to their home. It was perfect (I will share their wedding soon!).

Eileen decided that she would love to have the engagement photos taken in the beautiful bushlands surrounding their home, which worked out perfectly!

Enjoy

Dave and Kate + 2

Fiona Murphy — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:20:27 +0000

Dave and Kate were married a few years back, we photographed their wedding, and were thrilled to be able to photograph them again with their new (and not so new) additions to the family

Dave’s parents are cane farmers up north- so the cane fields nearby seemed like the perfect location to photograph their family, lots of space for Ruby to run free (as you will notice in the pictures she doesn’t stay still for long) and a beautiful setting for a family portrait. Ruby you have a hard hard head! Haha- lucky our cameras are well built!

Kate (and Dave too I suppose;) it was so great to catch up again! Thank you again for your beautiful Christmas “card” and the chance to photograph your growing family x

Lee-Anne and her fave boys

Fiona Murphy — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 07:10:37 +0000

After speaking with Lee-Anne initially on the phone, I realised how fab she was and we were excited about meeting and photographing her and the men in her life.

Adam had a great time photographing their little family on Mount Tamborine. Lee-Anne brought along some of her sons favourite toys to feature in their photos. So cute!

We are glad you were thrilled with the photos Lee-Anne, it was lovely meeting you and being able to capture this little piece of family history for you (…and stoked that we were able to create your very first family portraits for you!)

Grant and Melissa

Fiona Murphy — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 07:32:39 +0000

Grant and Melissa were married at Woodlands of Marburg, it was the first wedding we have photographed there, and can now say that we highly recommend it. What an amazing venue! Again we found ourselves working alongside the lovely celebrant Fiona from Marry-Me. Even though it was forecast rain, we had a beautiful dry cloudy day to enjoy the celebrations It was lovely to see a couple of familiar faces dotted in the crowd too!

Grant and Melissa are one seriously talented pair- from Melissa and her mother creating her beautiful rustic garden bouquets, to the two of them creating everything from table centrepieces, their beautiful wish cards, cute little cake toppers and lots of other homemade pretties. I’m sure they kept you up late for quite a few nights- but the results were awesome!

We hope the two of you have a fantastic Island Christmas, and we look forward to catching up with you in the new year.

Jonathan and Eunice

Fiona Murphy — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 08:07:06 +0000

Jonathan and Eunice were married at Sirromet Wines a couple of months back. It was so great to catch up and spend some more time with them again after the fantastic time we had at their Engagement shoot!

Eunice opted not to have bridesmaids, but instead had her mum doting over her, which I always love. Mums are the best!

Their beautiful ceremony was officiated by Fiona from Marry-Me, then we headed off around the grounds of the winery for their formal wedding photos.

The reception was held in the Barrel room at Sirromet, and the gorgeous decorations and table centre pieces were by Miss Weddings.

We are looking forward to catching up in January to plan your gorgeous wedding album!

Michael and Tegan

Fiona Murphy — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 05:13:03 +0000

We were looking forward to Michael and Tegan’s wedding after their amazing Engagement shoot last year (almost a year to the date before the wedding).

I think my fave image of the day would have to be the rose petals… the wedding co-ordinated decided to throw petals at the happy couple as they walked back into Tattersals Club after their wedding photo shoot. Michael looks a little… confused hahahaha! Honestly makes me laugh every time I see it!

Thanks for trusting us to photograph your wedding guys- it was great meeting you and sharing the experience with you. All the best!

Cisco and Susan

Fiona Murphy — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:41:23 +0000

On the morning of Cisco and Susans wedding day, we awoke to the sound of rain. Not a pretty pitter-patter, but the kind of rain that puts fear in your heart for the wedding couple. It was POURING! Torrential kind of pouring! The umbrellas and cameras were packed in the car and off I set.

What happened next was nothing short of a blessing- talk about turning on the weather! By the time the wedding was set to start, there was no threat of rain whatsoever, just an amazingly fresh, vibrant colourful afternoon, ending in a clear starry night.

It’s funny how many people you can “bump” into at any given wedding, old friends, past bridesmaids. When meeting with Cisco and Susan after their wedding to share their photographs with them, they mentioned they also knew some faces from a couple of other weddings we have photographed recently. The world seems to get smaller and smaller the longer we are in business

It was a pleasure photographing your wedding guys, and we hope that you are enjoying pouring through all of your beautiful photographs.

Venue: Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Farm. Boonah- what an incredible venue!

Leigh and Amanda

Fiona Murphy — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:23:38 +0000

Leigh and Amanda contacted us saying that they were having an Alice and Wonderland themed wedding, and would love to have us photograph the event for them- needless to say, our interest was peeked, and we were rather excited

Their wedding day was absolutely amazing, not just because of the beautiful theming, but because of their gorgeous personalities and the obvious love between the two of them, and between their family and friends. They have killer smiles and they are not afraid to use them!

It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding Leigh and Amanda, and we wish you all the best (and hope you are having a brilliant time in Egypt!!!)
