Buderim Wedding Photographer

on June 21, 2014

It’s all in the details. The subtle nuances that hold meaning to couples are simply intriguing. While the impact of a wedding day is held in the ceremony and the essential moments of the ritual of marriage, the finer details often reflect such genuine thought, care and consideration that it is important to absorb them as well. Buderim Wedding Photographer, Matt Rowe Photography joined Sarah and Anthony for their big day which began at St Mary’s in Buderim, with a stop for all guests and a slice of wedding cake and the Buderim Tavern before heading up to the Maleny Hinterland for one gorgeous photo-shoot prior to arriving at the classically beautiful Poet’s Cafe in Montville.

When it comes to the artistic side of your wedding photography it is hard to go past all that you bring and the goodness of sunset in a beautiful part of the world. Wendy’s Flowers and Event Hire certainly did style up a frenzy for this engaging duo. It can be a really lovely idea to develop your concept with someone overseeing a number of elements of the day; in this case Wendy is to be congratulated for both flowers and Styling. Sarah did have her hand it with her own contributions to the reception through personal touches in decorations, which I just love!

Evening Wedding – Candid wedding photography

on June 20, 2014

“We are after a relaxed event – no first dance or bridesmaids, with the ceremony at Sails while everyone has a champagne” = one super relaxed couple

Candid Noosa wedding photography Liz and Josh planned their Noosa Wedding from overseas to focus on the union in marriage, friends and family. As wedding photographers it was really lovely to have a little change of pace with a 5pm ceremony and a focus on the pure candid moments at Sails Restaurant in Noosa. A key element of candid wedding photography is being unobtrusive and unassuming yet in a highly observant way. Gee, could I make that sound any more complicated?! Our camera gear is top of the range Nikon and allows us to take sneaky photos without the “hello I’m a photographer in your face” flash that is sometimes seen. The product of being able to shoot in low light gives a really special grainy/ documentary feel and really adds to the photojournalistic approach required for candid wedding photography. Liz and Josh were such a happy, relaxed couple and their friends and family were an absolute joy to be around for such an important occasion. I just love that Liz wore a dress that suited her so well and looked beautifully semi-formal without the white wedding connotation. Everyone is unique with their plans and desires and that is just one element that keeps the flame alive for us.

AnnaBella Wedding Photography

on June 17, 2014

We LOVE fresh, natural settings for weddings. We LOVE fluffy grass and water features. We LOVE insanely cute couples. So, in conclusion we LOVE Luke and Lisa’s AnnaBella Wedding Photography.

Lisa and Luke have a great depth to their connection and it is so obvious that this is wholeheartedly supported by their families, awesome friends and faith. It was an absolute pleasure to witness this union held in the wedding chapel in Ilkley.

The sincerity of their vows was evident, as was the playful nature of their relationship with a thumbs up and a slapstick pat on the shoulder as rings were correctly placed.

Always looking for ways to make people laugh is a fun past time for us (and to be honest, a necessity in the game of wedding photography). Of late it has been total hilarity as we have introduced ‘Bride Races’ to a few outgoing couples and bridal parties. Horse racing is commonly understood in Australian culture, as is backing your favourite and these guys truly embraced the role play with our ‘jockies’ and their fillies. We are still laughing…

Aw you two. We wish you all the very best for your future together and know that you are supported by some pretty sensational friends – what a nice part of life to be in right now. Soak it up; we know this day will be a prominent feature of your memories and keep you smiling as you grow in this life together.

Bless!

Twin Waters Wedding Photography

on June 16, 2014

Debbie and Jamin did the whole ‘wedding thing’ with style. Threatening rain did not dampen their spirits, rather it created magic in the sky with one of the most magical sunsets we have seen this year.

Twin Waters Golf Club played host to this special day. What works really well about this location are some of the many options within the Golf Course and also in the surrounding area. Being locals we know a number of lovely spots to shoot, and with the kind allowance of some amazing people, we have exclusive access to a number of key properties in the area.

Ok, so throw in some love from the Deluxe Kombi Service and a really fun bridal party and we created a fun little concept we are now calling “don’t hold back”.

Sunsets and silhouettes should be an album title. They work so well together.

Shopping for a Bridal Gown is probably one of the first things a newly engaged woman will plan to do. The process itself is really so much fun. Through discussion I have found that many brides end up with the first gown they actually try on (or at least within the first few). Now Debbie is creating a new little concept here by having TWO BRIDAL GOWNS! The story behind this is her own, but I just loved seeing the side-note in our logistics sheet for the day which indicated a need for a quick dress change prior to reception.

Twin Waters Wedding Photography at its finest! Thanks for having us be part of your amazing day, Debbie and Jamin. You guys are great. Cheers to your future together, no doubt it will be filled with a whole lot of fun.
