Shawn + Samantha | Wedding

Shawn + Samantha were married this past weekend at the University of Findlay’s 1st Church of God. I was really amazed by all the small details Samantha put together for her black and hot pink themed wedding! You could tell she spent a year in the planning… 🙂

An emotional moment shared between Samantha and her dad.

The beautiful ladies in pink!

Cute moment.

Love your hair Samantha!!

The talented Mat Marrash shot these next photos of the groom & groomsmen.

I loved the lit candles going down the isle.

They did it!!! Married.

Wow…. a photo with almost all the guys smiling??? Priceless.

What did I tell ya… amazing pink and black details!!! Samantha, I think you could be a wedding planner. Mat Marrash shot the close up candy bar photos & the cake kiss. When I was walking around the reception hall it seemed everyone had a full plate of candy before dinner!!! hahahaha.

The cake ceremony was fun for everyone… I say this literally… cake was thrown everywhere!! I needed a poncho!

First dances… awwww… To see more photos visit Shawn + Samantha’s GALLERY.

A First Look isn`t for everyone. But if you want more time together on your wedding day…and a private moment before the ceremony, it might be for you. #firstlook

Wherever you are in life, a “just because” mini session on a whim can be that memory you smile back on again and again.

We’re up at Tamborine Mountain quite a bit these days, which means we get to offer minis in some pretty incredible rainforest spots — the kind of places that just might become your new favourite spots, too.

No milestone required. No special occasion. Just you, your people, and some time together. #mounttamborine

Yesterday was a GOOD one. For the first time I photographed my couple in this paper bark tree lane...normally there are cars parked on either side but we had this cozy spot all to ourselves last night. Tamborine Mountain Glades, you never disappoint. #tamborinemountainwedding

Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty amazing new wedding traditions pop up — and we think it’s time to share a few of our favourite alternatives to the traditional wedding cake! 🍰

🧀 Cheese Tower Cake — For the couples who would choose cheese over cake any day! Stack your favourite cheeses into a gorgeous tiered “cake” and serve it up later with crackers, fruit and all the good stuff.

🍫 @smashacakebrisbane — Think giant white chocolate piñata filled with lollies! Grab the hammer, smash it open and let everyone dig in. Definitely makes for some fun photos too!

🍓 @baysidebrownie — Is there anything more decadent than a gooey brownie topped with fresh berries and cream? A giant brownie makes a seriously delicious cake alternative.

🍩 @krispykremeaustralia — Specialty wedding doughnuts! Stack them, display them or create a whole doughnut tower. Easy for guests to grab and, most importantly… no cake cutting required.

Traditional wedding cake will always have its place, but we’re LOVING seeing couples choose something that feels a little more them.

Your wedding morning should feel like part of the celebration — not a race to get out the door.

A few simple things can make such a difference: hair and makeup running on time, a clean and clutter-free prep space, and all your special details laid out and ready to photograph.

When those things are taken care of, there’s room to breathe. Room to pour the champagne, hug your mum, laugh with your bridesmaids and actually take in the excitement of the morning.

It also gives us the time and space to photograph your dress, rings, flowers, stationery and all those little details thoughtfully — then quickly come back to capturing your moments.

And those genuine, in-between moments that happen when no one is watching the clock? They’re often some of my favourite photographs of the entire day.
