Creative Brisbane Wedding Photographer / Wedding Photo Mood Boards

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 often present them to my couples when meeting them for the first time. I find the Photo Mood Boards useful as they show my wedding photography style as well as being a source of inspiration for couples planning their special day.

Andy + Heather / Pembroke Lodge / Wedding Photographer / 18th July

When I met Andy and Heather (and their little dog Billie!) earlier this year, I realised straight away how cool they were. Following we took a day out to explore Richmond Park for their engagement photography shoot. It can be viewed on the blog here. A few months passed and before we knew it, wedding day had arrived! What a day it was. Both Andy's family (English/Australian) and Heather's crew (Canadian) we're a delight to be surrounded by whilst I did my job as the wedding photographer for their special day. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love nature, so the wedding portraits high on love in the fields of Richmond park was a pure blessing. So, I present to you the wedding day of
Andy and Heather at Pembroke Lodge...

Tom + Lisa / Cowparsley / Somerset Wedding / Uk / 14th June 2014

This wedding was pretty much the perfect day for the amazing Tom and Lisa. Their guests all loving and all super ready to celebrate their big festival wedding day with them! What a day it was... A ceremony in the sun, drinks and games in the garden then an evening in a tipi at Cowparsley farm - awesome! The Gents Piano Band was a highlight for everyone, what characters those two are! Personally I loved this day and I honestly felt so happy to be there as Tom and Lisa's wedding photographer . So, I present to you the day as I saw it....x

Dan + Jen / Century Club / London / Wedding Photographer / 31st May 2014

When I think of Dan and Jen, a smile instantly appears on my face, these two are such a cute, sweet and fun couple, hence their wedding day being awesome! I really like this photo I took with them during our wedding portrait time. Jenny said "Wow, I really like this bike" Snap! went my camera shutter…such candid fun moments, creating memories forever x

Andrew + Whitney / Thornbridge Hall / The Peaks / Uk / 23rd May 2014

When I met Andrew & Whitney early last year, I knew their wedding day would be a special one. The whole day was fabulous, full of love, laughter and good times for the couple celebrating their special day with family and friends. A highlight for me was when we climbed over the rocks of Higger Tor to create the lovely portraits below. This location was special to Whitney as she grew up learning to climb in this area. The location you may recognise as it was also used for scenes in the movie Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightly. I also love the hand made touches of this wedding, including all of the gorgeous stationery designed by Andy, the very talented Groom. I also adore the sign attached to the bridal car lovingly drawn by Whitney's Dad, so much heart! What a great day for such a lovely couple, congratulations Andrew & Whitney, it was so much fun being your wedding photographer! x

Adam + Mary / pre wedding photography / London / uk / 8th May 2014

The day of this pre wedding photography shoot it was really windy! I met Adam and Mary all dressed and ready to go. These two are seriously cute! I loved their outfits (perfectly matched) and Mary's shoes amazed me! But the thing that I adore the most about this couple is their dedication, love and respect towards each other. After meeting at university here in London, Adam and Mary became a couple. The deal was sealed one night when Adam took Mary on a date to the blind restaurant, Dans Le Noir…
the rest is history! I'm looking forward to photographing their wedding day later on this year!

Andy + Heather / Richmond / London / 19th April 2014

Andy, Heather (and Billy the dog!) are an awesome little family :) I feel privileged to be their wedding photographer for the big day in Richmond Park later this year. In preparation for the wedding, we took some time out for a very relaxed pre wedding shoot. We met one lovely afternoon in April, the sun shone softly in the afternoon sky.. pure bliss! Billy the dog sat next to the cows in the paddock before joining us for some special photos towards the end of the shoot :) We had so much fun, I’m looking forward to photographing their wedding in July!

The Big Shots & Moments of 2013 / Reportage Wedding Photography

What a year it's been. I may have said this before but I'll say it again. I do feel SO privileged to do what I do for a job, being a wedding photographer is simply awesome! Photographing people on one of the biggest days of their lives is nothing but a gift every time. 2013 was another great year, meeting many people in love and I wanted to thank all my couples for being so wonderful. Being a part of so many beautiful wedding days has honestly been a pleasure! And now to celebrate, I present to you a collection of photographs, each captured and crafted by myself. What a wonderfully reflective and heart warming experience it was putting this blog post together. Enjoy perusing and best wishes for 2014! x

creative wedding photographer reportage wedding photography of a bride and groom in a field Columbine Hall suffolk wedding photography sunshine coast field by clair estelle

Alex is a school teacher and Ginny works for a charity. All in all they’re just kind spirited people and their wedding day totally reflected that. They were married at St Mary the Virgin Church (Langham) where all the guests wandered across a field to the ceremony. Afterwards, we jumped into a London cab (in the middle of the Suffolk!) and were whooshed away by a family member to the reception in the gorgeous gardens at Columbine Hall. Everyone had a great time relaxing on the lawn, drinking, eating and celebrating in the barn as day turned into night. What a truly awesome wedding day set in
the idyllic English Countryside...

Ali + Jess / the kingscote barn / tetbury / uk / 5th Jan 2013

The cold temperatures of the uk winter didn't stop these two love birds! Ali and Jess we're joined by their friends and family at Kingscote Barn in January this year for their gorgeous barn style wedding. Jess is Australian and met English born and bread Ali not too long after setting up her base in London. Such a gorgeous couple sharing a deep and understanding love, thank you for having me as part of your day x

andrew + steph / fernhurst / west sussex / uk / september 29th 2012

Words cannot express the love I witnessed on the Day of Andrew and Steph Bell's Wedding. This special couple I met years ago, so photographing their wedding in Fernhurst, West Sussex was truly a blessing. It was pretty hard not to shed a tear as Andrew and Evie (their little girl) stood waiting for Mummy (Steph) to arrive.. in all her festival vintage grace and glory... on a tractor! :) Guests were also impressed with Andrew's homemade brew he called Buttbells. So here it is, their special day as I saw it...x

Jolyon + Kate / Littlecott Farm / Wiltshire / UK / 2nd June 2012

There was something special about Jolyon and Kate's wedding day - maybe because Kate an Australian was marrying Jolyon who is English born and bred and like me and my man this newly wed couple choose the mother land, away from the sunny shores of Australia to commence their married lives... such a gorgeous wedding, amongst special family and friends at Littlecott Farm - all enjoying the beautiful scenery of the English countryside...Thank you Kate and Jolyon for having me as part of your day and I wish you all the best for the future!
