As your Wedding day approaches, most couples start looking at budgets and what their main priorities when it comes to the Big Day. Over the years I've been a wedding photographer, I've learnt that the main priorities that couples tend to focus on is the Wedding Venue, Guest list, Dress and of course the Wedding Photography. As part of the Wedding Photography, most of my couples decide on investing in a Queensberry Wedding Album to showcase their favourite photos from the big day. In addition, all of my Wedding Packages are presented in a Wedding Folio Kit. This kit includes a 6x8 Hand Crafted Fine Art Book & specially commissioned USB Card, presented in a Natural toned book cloth cover and casing. I love books, so crafting this product was an enjoyable process - resulting in a beautiful Wedding Photography keepsake.

As part of my yearly round up I always put together a series of what I call "Photo Mood Boards" These boards display a collection of my photographs from weddings throughout the previous year. I find the Photo Mood Boards useful as they show my photography style as well as being great inspiration boards for couples planning their special day.

It's been a busy year with Weddings and I'm feeling excited about all of my couples loving their special Wedding Folio Kit, exclusively designed by Clair Estelle Photography and handcrafted by the best all the way over in London. Wedding Albums are an important part of every Wedding Package but these gorgeous Kits are a unique, tangible item, to have and to hold if a Queensberry Wedding Album isn't something couples are wanting to invest in straight away.

Jimmy and Kath's Wedding at The Elandra Mission Beach was a fantastic day. After flying up from Brisbane, I prepared for the special occasion ahead. I immediately could see this coastal beach wedding was going to be gorgeous! The next day, as the sun shone down these two were married, followed by an amazing evening of love, laughter and fantastic food with family and friends. Congratulations to Jimmy, Kath and there little daughter Freya, it was a pleasure being your
wedding photographer! x

Next on the blog the gorgeous Wedding of Adam & Gina. It was a pleasure to be their wedding photographer in August. This couple celebrated there wedidng day in Queenland surrounded by family and friends at Branyan Retreat. I totally adore their little family who were all part of the bridal party. Such a special day for two amazing people, congratulations Adam & Gina! x

Adam and Gina's wedding day was beautiful. They decided to do a few things a little differently. In fact, they decided to meet for photographs before the wedding ceremony, which unfolded as the afternoon turned into evening that August day. This gorgeous couple celebrated their special day with there friends and extended family, but most importantly their 3 little kids who were part of the bridal party. Adam and Gina run a bridal car company in Queensland and owned the gorgeous back vehicle Gina arrived at the gardens in. Such an amazing day! It was a pleasure to be Adam and Gina's Wedding Photographer x

Edwin and Kelly love Byron Bay. Kelly, after visiting the picturesque beach side cliffs in Byron Bay at sunrise one day, feel in love with the place. So, it seemed only fitting to take her love, Edwin (and me!) there one day for a special pre wedding engagement photography session. I love photographing at the oceans edge, with the crisp sea air filling our lungs and the atmosphere of the ocean surrounding us. I enjoyed this Byron Bay Photography session very much! Best wishes Edwin and Kelly for your wedding celebrations to come in Malaysia and China :)

I always enjoy creating products for my couples, earth toned materials and soft pastel items suit my wedding photography style perfectly. When seeking inspiration I head to the ocean, feeling the sand between my toes and soaking up the fresh sea air. I love the natural items I have found in my travels over the years, picking up the special ones and keeping them in my pocket for future inspiration and memories x

The moment we arrived at the secret location, I knew, Emmanuel, Lauren and I were going to create something special. After knowing these two love birds for some time, I was very excited with the thought of photographing them together, amongst the tall pine trees of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Together on that day, surrounded by nature we felt warm in the presence of love x

"As I stand, with my feet in the sand, I wiggle my toes about. I know the sand is the earth, small pieces of glass ground down to dust. I know how nice it feels to be in that place, I know that one day I shall return..." Even though I'm mostly a wedding photographer, I also take on a limited number of portraits sessions during a year as well. I photographed Tim & Jamie one lovely afternoon in Innes Park near Bundaberg. It was warm on our skin as the sun went down and day turned into night. As we walked on the sand together, I knew in that moment we were creating something special through a series of photographs x

I’m so excited to be presenting to each of my couples this year a gorgeous Wedding Folio Kit. All Wedding Packages are presented in a Unique Wedding Folio Case including a 6x8 Hand Crafted Fine Art Book & specially commissioned USB Card. The Wedding Folio Kit operates as a neat little way of storing your Photos (on the USB) and also displaying you favourite photos in the Hand Crafted Photo Book. To make an inquiry for your Wedding Photography and in turn receiving one of these gorgeous little keepsakes, feel free to get in touch x

Richard and Leslie were married at the Nash Conservatory at Kew Gardens and then celebrated that evening with their family and friends at The Orangery. Plush, pink, pastel, perfection are the only words to describe their day. With an abundance of pretty details, flowers and of course big love these two tied the knot in style. I adore the gardens at Kew, the photo opportunities are endless and I had an amazing day! To add to the impressiveness of their wedding, Richard and Leslie planned everything themselves from their home in Dubai! Congratulations guys and I wish you all the best for the future!
