Well in the last couple of weeks our eldest daughter turned 5 so we had a pirate and fairy party for all of the kids to come and have some fun.  Someone forgot to tell me that i could dress as a Pirate so i was greeting all the mothers at the door in a fairy outfit, all inclusive of wings, a tiara and a tutu.   I have a feeling that I did scare a few people but the soon got over it.

Happy Birthday to my precious girl Holly

We had a makeup artist who did a fantastic job with the kids facepaint and baloon twisting

Yes,  I dressed up like a fairy for the day,  and I kinda enjoyed it haha,  this is me with my mum, and her with Holly

this is Hollys best freind at day care

Scarlett didn’t get left out and also got plenty of attention for the day.

Holly with Laura,  Holly hadn’t seen Laura since we moved a bit closer to the studio and they were very excited to see each other.best of freindsPass the parcel

finally Dad,  bring out the birthday cake!

Well its not long now until Lee and Royce walk down the isle. Lee is one of these super super organised brides to be and they are pretty much just waiting for the day now with everything done. It is going to be an awesome wedding!

We had a fun engagement shoot at the UQ and basically just walked around to see what we could find rather than have a set agenda, The UQ is a very popular venue for weddings so we thought we would mix it up a little bit and just go walking and happy that the results paid off.

Lee and Royce met at the Emmanuel college and wanted a photo from here as this was a special place for them.. Don’t they both have the most gorgeous smiles!

Love these last 2.

Melanie and Pete are a beautiful couple getting married in a few short months,  I tell you, I have the most amazing couples and feel privileged to be part of their day.  It is funny that with Melanies planning i have seen her at a number of the wedding expos and have heard aabout the planning going into the wedding.  I couldn’t think more highly of a couple. They are perfectly matched and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for both of you!

We had heaps of fun at the shoot and our time went super quick,  before we knew it the shoot was done and it was time to go.  So here is some shots from the dayMr Cool

how beautiful are they
I have noticed that I think i have a thing for this wall

Kalo and Eric were married at Sanctuary Cove on 16th May and pretty much flew in from Hong Kong a couple of days before the wedding and then left the day after.  A lot of the guests arrived from Hong Kong as well.  I only met Kalo and Eric a few short days before the wedding to discuss the details of the day.

Sancturay Cove is beautiful,  what an awesome place to have a wedding.

One of the groomsman made up a beautiful card,  pretty funny.

Well it appears that my promise of 3 posts a week has already gone amiss.  we had a fashion shoot on this weekend which was very exciting but look it is nearly 1am on a monday morning and I am posting this to try and give you something.

Now that we have had 3 weddings that I have shown you (with a bunch more to come) I thought it might be time to show you are recent engagment shoot that we did for Jo and Ash.

Anyone would think Ash was born in frount of a camera,  he had the look down and was deffinitly showing Jo how it was done.  Cant wait for this wedding,  going to be a corka!!

From memory this was Jo Laughing at me in reference to ‘Sexy time’   haha….

Haha,  don’t you hate it when you write a gigantic letter and then for some reason it is deleted for whatever reason,  well this is just what happened with this blog post so my apologies if it is a little short.

Lauren is a beautiful person with an amazing personality and laugh and this has been another wedding that i have really looking forward to since we did the engagment shoot.  I have had Lauren and Craigs engagment images made into one of our display albums so I get to see these guys every day,  and everyone who has been into the studio has also seen their engagment photos.

Lauren aka  ”craigsgirl” is one of the moderators from Wedding Central so definitely had her wedding well planned and was involved in helping plenty of other brides plan their wedding.

You guys were awesome to photograph!!  love your work
