Fiona and Steve decided a surprise was the way to go, and to tell only a few of their closest friends. Everyone else thought tthey were going to an engagement party, until they were informed it was in fact a wedding celebration. Shock horror, tears, and smiles. A very different wedding in more ways than one!

Jacqueline and Paul are embarking on a new business venture here in Maleny. They are busy putting together promotional amd marketing material for their company, ‘Classsic Car Rides’. We went on a photo shoot for one of their cars, a beautiful Graham Paige, which will be in great demand with wedding couples. Our afternoon took in some of the prime wedding venues in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland – The little White Wedding Church, The House of Laurels, Clovelly Estate and Flaxton Gardens. Look out for their website in the near future.

This commercial assignment was to photograph a beach hotel, near the lovely King’s Beach.

Mike and Lauren are locals here in Maleny, and chose the  delightful Solothurn Chapel for their ceremony as well as the reception. It was a very happy day with plenty of laughter.

It was a thrill to be asked to photograph the baptism of Alaria, not just because she is a beautiful baby, but because I had photographed her parents, Glenn and Shireen’s wedding. Flaxton Gardens proved to be an ideal location, as once again the weather was not conducive to an outdoor ceremony, which was Glenn and Shireen’s original idea.  Have a happy life, Alaria.

Ben and Larissa had high hopes of wonderful location shots in a few of the choice locations around Maleny, but the weather was against them and it poured for much of the day. Fortunately the owners of Maleny Lodge came to their aid, and we were able to spend time enjoying the inside of their beautiful Queenslander, with the log fire roaring, and the champagne flowing, a potential disaster was averted.     

Darran and Aggie were blessed with great weather, and a fabulous venue for their wedding on the Channer property. I just loved being part of it, there was so much fun going on.

‘Jambo’ Penny,
I just wanted to say thank you for all the photos you have given us we have looked through them and they are amazing…!  We have had numerous viewings.  We would really like to thank you for a job well done.
Please enjoy your Easter weekend with the family and you will be highly recommend to any and all of our friends.  Please feel free to use my email as a reference for potential clients if you ever feel so inclined.
Many thanks again from both of us. Daz and Ags.

Kirstian and Melissa decided to have thier ceremony out in the open, amongst the trees of Mary Cairncross Park, rather a gamble with the wet weather Maleny has been subject to, but it paid off. The ceremony took place in the dry, and it remained so until we were in the paddock overlooking the Glasshouse Mountains. It was here we eventually had to make a run for the cars as the heavens opened and the rain came down yet again.

Well – this was a colourful assignment. Flame Hill Winery were hosting a grape stomp, and model Megan was daubed in bright swirls of blues and reds. This event was a great success for Flame Hill. If you haven’t had lunch at this wonderful location, you have been missing out. 

Welcome to the world, Ruby. Congratulations to Mum and Dad. She is a beautiful addition to the family.
