Weddings Weddings Weddings !!!!

That's what we do best !
Sure we shoot the odd portrait but Weddings are our specialty.
With almost 10 years experience in Wedding Photography and having shot close to 500 Weddings we like to think that we know what to look for when it comes to shooting your special day.

It's not just about the Bride & Groom, it's about all of your guests, those little moments
shared between a Father & his Daughter, before she walks down the aisle.

It's a thousand little moments that make up your Wedding Day.

We take pride in creating beautiful imagery and story telling albums..
Images that your family and friends will be talking about for years to come ..
Images that move your soul, touch the heart & quite often bring a tear to the eye.

We love what we do !

Jo & Tim 28th August 2010 – we laughed …. and then we laughed some more …..

As the title sugests there was a lot of fun had on Saturday ..

Jo and Tim are such a lovely couple ..  their beautiful ceremony was held at St Andrews in the city with their reception held at the Summit Mt Cootha .

We started our day early with the girls at Venus Secret Hair and Beauty at New farm.

Jo & Tim thank you for for letting me step into your lives for a day !….

Sophie & Rohan – Young Doctors in Love ….

In todays episode of Young Doctors in Love our stars Sophie & Rohan exchange rings in a beautiful ceremony in the heart of Brisbane.

Sophie & Rohan flew back to Australia from Vancouver Canada to share their wedding day with family and friends..

It’s always nice to see two people so much in love that you just know that they’re soulmates, and this is the feeling I had with Sophie & Rohan.

The Queensland Club was where we started our day and also where the gorgeous reception was held ..

I’ve gone a little overboard with the amount of images that I’ve posted this week only because I felt I had to showcase what was an exceptional day.

I LOVE emotional weddings and these guys had plenty to spare ! I could have posted loads more images but this sneak peek will have to do for now ..

Sophie and Rohan were such a blast to work with (if you can call it work) and there wasn’t a minute that passed where we weren’t laughing !

The Champas started early and never really stopped !

Below Sophies Dad popped in to wish her well – “YAY” – Sophies all time favourite word !

St Mary’s Kangaroo Point we caught up with the Lads ..

What else do you do when at the Gallery of Modern Art then try catch a show !

Although the line was a little long …..

We headed back to the beautiful Queensland Club for the reception..   It was great to see Jaana & Stuart again too ! (pictured below)

I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding in December of last year ..

Rohan’s heartfelt speech didn’t leave a dry eye in the room – the bar was just raised a little bit higher …

Sophie and Rohan thankyou for letting me share in your special day and enjoy your time in Bora Bora ..!

August 5, 2010 - 12:37 pm John Reyment - great images Ben. I especially love the GOMA queue, I should have been in the queue to see Ron Mueck but ran out of time.

Vicki & Clint thank you for letting me share in your special day !

Another of my favourite locations in New York was the Flatiron Building, or Fuller Building as it was originally called, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, and is considered to be one of the first skyscrapers ever built. Upon completion in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City. The building sits on a triangular island block at 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway, anchoring the south (downtown) end of Madison Square.

The neighborhood around the building is called the Flatiron District after its signature building, which has become an icon of New York.

I loved shooting this particular building, the weather was perfect for what I wanted !

One of my Favourites – New York 2010

I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding at the Plaza Hotel in NYC which was just amazing ! Here is the link if you’d like to see the wedding

I took this image while we were out and about shooting the Brooklyn Bridge.

Kit & Margo – 12th June

Kit and Margo’s special day kicked off with the girls who were getting ready in a house in Love Street, so even early in the day the scene was set !

We met up with Kit at the church (BBC Toowong) where friends and family were catching up with each other and awaiting the arrival of the beautiful Bride.
