Brisbane Hotel Wedding - Tanya and Chris

Brisbane Hotel Wedding - Tanya and Chris

This was our second visit to Largs for a Brisbane Hotel Wedding, this time with top couple Tanya and Chris.

Not only are Chris and Tanya friends of friends but their wedding party also contained a couple who's wedding we are shooting next year (so that is 3 couple keeping a keen eye on me). The pressure was definitely on. Our day started off Tanya's finishing touches at her Grans house before we made our way down to Largs and to the church for a blessing only and then back to the Brisbane for a civil ceremony. Chris joked this was simply so that Tanyas couple walk down the aisle twice in one day. '

We also had a responsibility to pull off a slightly tricky shot yet very important shot. Tanya's grandfather was a pilot on the Largs ferry so it was really important to make sure the ferry featured in the pictures along with Tanya and Chris. With the rare sight of some blazing sun to contend with and pretty much every man and their dog walking along Largs beach front, it was a tricky shot indeed to get right. However I am glad to report that on all aspects of the photography - the day was a complete success.

Kelburn Park Wedding - Derek & Naomi

Kelburn Park provided the backdrop for this wedding with everything taking place outside.

Naomi & Derek took the brave decision (for Scotland) to host their ceremony in the grounds of this beautifully maintained garden, down by Largs.  We also managed to get both parties preparing for the wedding, with Derek leaving from his folks house and Naomi leaving from a guest house in the town. This allowed us to get some cracking shots before the wedding had even taken place. Once things did get going we had a fantastic time and we were extremely lucky with the weather - only suffering a mild spit of rain all day.  As you can see Naomi looked stunning and Kelburn Park did us proud.



Again with this wedding our final details meeting took place at Kelburn Park. This meant that we could fully explore the area beforehand and work out which parts of the park would be suitable for photography and which areas we could use if the weather went against us. This is something we do at 1500 Photography as a matter of course. I only mention it as many studio's do not take this meticulous approach to their weddings. It also gave us a chance to coordinate our plans with Maggie at Kelburn and have a timetable ready for the (excellent) car company - Ashton wedding cars.

I must say I am really pleased with many of the shots from this wedding and I am extremely grateful that Naomi and Derek chose me to photograph their wedding. They are a great couple who gave me loads of time on the day and who were really 'into' the photography on the day, nothing was too much bother and they were great fun the be with. Superb.

Thank you both. The memory of a couple walking down the isle to the strains of 'Home and Away' will stay with me for a long time.
