I have to say that Ricki and Brigitte’s wedding was the perfect way to finish 2011 and now I’m even more excited to see what 2012 will bring. Happy New Year everyone!

Ryan and Carly were married on North Stradbroke Island (one of my fave locations!) Their reception was at the Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel which is also where Carly, her Bridesmaids and flower girl and page boy (cutest kids ever!) got ready. When it came to the ceremony Carly and Ryan were full of smiles, even when the incoming tide threatened to wash us all away. After the ceremony, we stayed on the beach for the formal shoot and ended the day with a slideshow of some of the photos shown at the reception.

I’m ever so thankful to Carly and Ryan for allowing me to be a part of their magical day, and I’m so excited to share some of their images with you. Also, a huge shout out to Motion Art who did the videography on the day and The Powder Room for Hair and Make Up.

Enjoy!

I have been a very bad blogger (or a very busy photographer – one of the two) and thought I had better get their eshoot up before their wedding day!  We did their shoot a few weeks back (yes at Springfield Lakes) and we had such a nice afternoon together.  These guys were just so relaxed (guess it helps that we have become friends too) and I am sure they spent 99% of the time laughing which is so great to see. Laura & Chris also have two beautiful children together so was nice to get some lovely family shots of them too (and we had to keep them contained – there is a lake nearby)!

I hope you enjoy these photos and look out for their wedding images which will be blogged hopefully this century (I have 10 or more sessions to blog ekkkk).

Till next time.

The day started off with KJ getting ready at the Mount Cotton Guesthouse which was a beautiful place and made for awesome photos (not to mention a fantastic little treasure trove for details shots). KJ looked absolutely stunning as I am sure you will agree and she was so calm and collected – I think one of the most “together” brides ever! And how awesome are her shoes – I think they were placed on every piece of furniture in the house!

Thanks also to Kylie for coming to help me out – always fun!

Today I am sharing with you the detail and getting ready shots – part II will come tomorrow!

{KJ and Wade – hope you love your photos and have had a great honeymoon in Hawaii. Look forward to catching up soon to view your images}

Till next time

The ceremony took place at their home and the formal photos were taken nearby. As a photographer I was battling with many things that photographers really dread – the chance of a lot of rain and 10am sun with no shade (sun was coming in and out). In the end though I think we got some lovely images that I am sure will be treasured by Stephanie and Rod for many years.

{Stephanie and Rod, it was lovely getting to know you and I wish you much love and happiness for the future}

Here are some of my favs from the day.

Although we had limited time after the ceremony for their formal shoot we managed to get some stunning photos which I am sure Marina and Rod will treasure forever. Once again I cannot choose my favourite photos so have put them in a slideshow with a quick sneak peak below (these images are my “fun” images). Press here for the slideshow link. You can also access the images on my facebook “fan” page here

Also a thank you to my lovely friend Maureen for coming and helping me out on the day – you rock!

{Marina and Rod, thank you so much for having me there on your special day. I loved meeting your beautiful families. Will be in touch soon}

Till next time

Thanks also to Sheila Higgens for helping me out on the day!

For this post I have some photos from the bridal getting ready and the ceremony. The formal shoot photos will come in a day or so.  I have to also apologise for the delay in this post.  I have been flat out and attended a workshop with Shelton Muller and Glynn Lavender.  Photos to come – had such a great time.

{Thanks guys for making Sheila and myself so welcomed – we really felt like a part of your day. Will be in touch soon x}

The wedding was held at Albert River Winery in their beautiful little chapel and Sabine walked down the Aisle to the song “want to grow old with you” – you know the one that Adam Sandler “sang” in the wedding singer! They also had their friend singing it which made it even more lovelier. I found it very hard to stop the tears from falling to that one – it was just so beautiful and obviously meant so much to them.

After the ceremony they released two doves (a gift from Karl to Sabine) which was great and then we stayed around the amazing Albert River Winery for their formal shoot. We were literally shooting in lightning infested weather – gave some dramatic skies and running from one amazing spot to the other “quick lets do this before it pours” – and it did pour – on me running from my car to the reception venue.

Now speaking of the reception, Sabine and Karl have been having dancing lessons for the last few months and did the most amazing dance to the Patrick Swayze song “Time of My Life” – another tear jerker!

{Guys thank you so much for choosing me as your wedding photographer – I am totally honored to have met you both. I hope you had a great relaxing time in Fiji and I can’t wait to hear all about it}.

Thanks also to Cass from Grazac Photography for helping out on the day – always fun to shoot with you!

Here are a few of my favourite images which I have also used as the new photo on my website splash page. Go and check out some of the changes www.naomivphotography.com.au.

This would have to be one of my all time favourite wedding photos!

These were taken with no flash on ISO 3000 if I remember correctly. Got to love the Canon 5D Mark II.

{Thanks again for having me be part of your special day}.

I have lots coming up including the slideshow for Kylie and Billy’s wedding which was on Saturday so keep yourself posted.

Till next time
