Mount Cotton Wedding

Jordie and Daniel’s picture perfect wedding at Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton was captured by the team at Everlast Studios Photography. Marriage Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry told the sweet story of how the couple met. Jordan’s five bridesmaids wore pastel apricot, and the five groomsmen wore navy suits.

Jordan looked beautiful in a strapless white gown, with her blonde hair curled. She wore green gemstone earrings which sparkled as she laughed.

Daniel was dapper in a navy suit and charming grin.

The Rainforest Gardens has a timber ceremony deck in front of the pond. Lush palms tower over the area, providing shade and a sense of tranquility.

 

Tips

How To Choose Your Weddings Photographer

Cheryl Landsberry – marriage celebrant

Choosing your wedding photographer can be daunting. Anyone with a camera claims they can do the job for you. After over 15 years in the wedding industry, I’ve come up with some tips to help you choose your photographer:

1. Is the person you are meeting the person who will be your photographer? With an owner/operator, you know that the person you meet with will be your photographer on the day. Avoid agencies who have a sales team to sign you up, then hire a contractor for your wedding day. They probably only hire qualified professionals, but you need to know that you will feel at ease with your photographer for the best results.

2. What is the turnaround for the photo delivery? Photographers work a long day on your wedding day, and the photographs need sorting and editing afterwards. There can be a backlog in busy times, such as Spring, when the photographer may have weddings booked every weekend. Choose a photographer who will have 2 or 3 gorgeous photos ready for you within a couple of days of the wedding so you can announce your marriage on social media.

3. There’s a fine line between too bossy and too relaxed. A chilled photographer is easy to get along with, but you don’t want to be standing around for precious time while your relatives amble into position for photos. A good photographer can direct the required family photos efficiently so you can get on with the celebrations.

Cleveland Wedding Celebrant

Today’s wedding was a sweet ceremony at Cleveland Point. The set-up by Beautiful Illusions reflected the bayside location, looking out to North Stradbroke Island. The bride wore a dress similar to Kate Middleton’s, and she was breathtakingly elegant. The groom and his brother were dapper in crisp navy suits, The bridesmaid wore flowing emerald green. The couple pictured a simple, but classic ceremony, and were soon enjoying celebrating with their guests. Photographer, Andy, from A Thousand Miles Photography made the most of the perfect afternoon light – a few clouds covered the glare of the sun for perfect photography lighting.

Wedding at Cleveland Point

Some lovely feedback from a July wedding: “Thank you so very much for your help not only on the day but from the beginning of my query until the end, it all went so seamlessly.”
Having a rehearsal with this couple helped to ensure all the wedding party felt comfortable with the ceremony placement.
The best man was able to practise presenting the rings, and the couple practised repeating their vows.
On the day, the whole ceremony went off without a hitch.

Sand Ceremonies

Sand ceremonies can add a little colour to your wedding ceremony. Much of a wedding ceremony is spoken, but including a sand ceremony can be a visual addition.

Each party to the marriage can have a beaker with a different coloured sand. Then the couple take turns to add their sand to an empty vase.

If they take turns evenly, the result is a layered representation of the couple’s combining of their life.

Children in the family can also be given a vial of sand to add, representing the blending of the family.
