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

Just before Christmas the Outridges and I had a fun time wandering around their beautiful home at Maleny, taking photos and meeting the livestock – from rats to bulls. Following this, an album has been designed to provide a moment in time for the family.

Time has run away with me again, and we are now in the middle of February – Valentine’s Day just around the corner. The Christmas period is normally fairly quiet where weddings are concerned, but not so this year. I haven’t even had time to get my Christmas letter out! Here are a few of the favourite weddings I was fortunate enough to play a part in.

GRAEME AND KATE: THE HOUSE OF LAURELS

STUART AND LAURA

Unfortunately the ceremony never took place under the Fig Tree as planned, due to torrential rain – but we went back later and took these photos.

DAVID AND CHRISTINA:  THE LITTLE WHITE WEDDING CHURCH & THE KEY BAR

Daniel and Phillipa married in Phillipa’s parents property, with beautiful views towards the Sunshine Coast. Their children could have stolen the show, by they were no match for their handsome parents.

“Hi Penny, I want to say a very big thankyou , I have looked at the photos on your website and they are wonderful thanks for all your help and for taking such beautiful photos” .

 Troy and Amy began their day at Coolum beach for a ceremony overlooking the crystal blue seas. Then it was a race up the Blackall Range to get to the Glasshouse Mountains paddock to catch the last of the sun’s rays. Finally we headed for Clois for the reception. No hanging around for these two!

This was a real beach wedding set at Marcoola. The day was glorious, the couple delightful. Everything was just right…

“Thank you so so very much Penny!
They are amazing!!!! Now the problem is which to choose!
Thank you so very much for everything, we both really appreciate it! Thanks again for beautiful shots!”

Tom and Marnie exchanged their vows on Marnie’s beautiful private property. Hay bales, parasols and horses lent a relaxed rural feeling. The delicious food was prepared by a local restaurant, Pomodoras on Coral.

“Just wanted to email and say a huge thank-you for all your effort and enthusiasm on the wedding day.  We are only just back and so I have only had a quick look at the website, but the photos look just gorgeous. And I am so pleased that there are photos of all our guests! Great memories.

I just wanted to let you know that the photos arrived safe and sound.  They are so gorgeously presented and packaged – thank you!  I also wanted to tell you again what a fantastic job you did and how much we appreciated you just going with the flow and fitting in seamlessly.  The end results are just gorgeous!
 
Thanks again for all your help on (and before!) our big day”.

Greg and laura are amongst the first couples to  marry in the Little White Wedding Church, Maleny. It is bound to become one of the leading wedding venues here in Maleny, as well it should.

Tim and Kate chose Michel Chalets, Maleny for their wedding venue. A beautiful, peaceful place to have your wedding. We had some very interesting photo opportunities, many centered around the attire of the Groom and his Groomsman!

“We have just been having a very very big laugh at the photos. I think you have captured us amazingly…given what you had to work with!You have done a great job on the photos, thank you very much for that. It was nice to come back from our first day of work to find them. It really put a smile on our faces. We both want to say we really enjoyed the photoshoot and the effort you put in going along with the madness”.

“Thank you for being our photographer at our wedding.  You were great and we felt so relaxed.  I didn’t even remember seeing you in some of those photos you took of us.  Thank you for uploading the photos so soon.  They are great.  We have received a lot of compliments about the wedding photos! We’re so happy with them”.

A wonderful wedding, even though we had to put up with the dust clouds obscuring the normal fabulous view of the Glasshouse Mountains.
