River Weddings


Surprise Brisbane Powerhouse Wedding

Peita and Andrew hosted a surprise wedding at the Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm – guests were expecting an engagement party! They wanted a modern location near the river, and Watt Modern Dining at the Powerhouse was the perfect venue for them. Beautiful Peita was so clever to pick just the right shade of raspberry red for her Bridesmaids who all look gorgeous in the hue.

Location: Brisbane Powerhouse, New Farm, Queensland.
Photography: Xsight Photography Brisbane. The owners of the Brisbane studio are long standing family friends and we had always admired their crisp and funky pictures.  Ben and Justine have an amazing way of making people feel comfortable and relaxed in front of camera – at one stage Ben was singing loudly at the entrance of the Powerhouse while we were having photos done!  As it was a surprise wedding we had the majority of our photos taken prior to the wedding ceremony and then some taken between the ceremony and reception.

Vintage-style Maroochydore River Wedding

Fabulous crafty Mishy (graphic designer, wedding invitation designer, photographer and blogger) and Stu put a lot of thought into creating a unique, vintage-style wedding on the Sunshine Coast. I just adore all the details that showcase the couple’s creative style, including the cool Kombi van wedding transport and of course the handmade origami folded paper flowers. There are also lots of great budget-conscious ideas for us to learn from. What an inspiration.

: My friend Yan Chan volunteered to do our photography. I have always admired his work, and he was just marvellous. He stayed for the whole night and we got so many great photos. Stuart & I also have a Digital SLR that we handed over to my crafty friend Ange for the day. She took some magical candid shots and had a lot of fun as well.

Classic Brisbane River View Wedding

Anna and Dugald held a gorgeous, classic wedding at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Brisbane, where Anna’s great grandparents were married. Their reception was held at a historic house in nearby New Farm, overlooking the Brisbane River. I love the bold navy sash that Anna wore, tying in beautifully with her bridesmaid’s dresses.
