J'adore Weddings
What only feels like just yesterday we did Mitch & Ashlee's engagement photoshoot, & now today we are shooting their wedding. Time has just flown by, through all the wedding preparation that Ashlee & her Mum did together they both have done an amazing job at planning & making this day a reality.
Read MoreHere at J'adore we recently teamed up with Begitta - Bridal & Couture alongside Wishes Events for a styled bridal photo shoot. We classify ourselves as one of the highest quality wedding photographer & videographer establishments here on the Gold Coast, in saying this we were extremely happy to team up with two other amazing brands.
Begitta describe their label as "Unapologetically feminine, the Begitta Bride adores glamorous styling and dramatic silhouettes. Gowns that are classic with a rich, modern twist, as divine as they are memorable and utterly unique."
Begitta crafts gowns that are one-of-a-kind with her signature of hand-draping, hand-beading and applique.
We believe that it is an absolute honour to create a special piece for an exceptional occasion and ensure that each client’s experience is just as wonderful as it is unforgettable. Our gowns will make any woman feel as though she has stepped into a dreamy yet ever-so-chic fairy-tale!

Styled by Wishes Events using a pop of colour to compliment the sophisticated chic look of the Gold and Pink elements. This elegant theme is a beautiful way to also incorporate the stunning bridal colours into the venue theming, and have the overall impression of that dream wedding. A modern bridal bouquet was created to showcase some seasonal flowers, bright colours whilst still working well with the colour palette & theme.
The details for this Gown are:
Strapless Bodice with beautiful bra-cup detail, each bodice is completely covered with layers of beautiful French corded lace that have been lovingly hand appliqued on in individual sections meaning no two bodices are alike. With gorgeous peplum adorned with ruffle upon ruffle of beautiful blush tulle. Can be worn over its full length matching skirt or added over one of our slim line skirts for a quick change.
Peony Skirt
Stunning circle cut tulle skirt adorned in hand sewn ruffles of tulle along the base to create a dramatic and oh-so divine entrance.
A huge Thankyou to Bianca for being apart of this styled shoot, & also a big Thankyou to Dave for letting us use his gorgeous home supplying us with some spectacular views.

J'adore can't wait to be apart of a the upcoming weddings at Sofitel for both wedding photography & wedding videography.
It was an exciting day ahead with j'adore getting to shoot another wedding at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove resort. having previously shot their multiple times over the span of the year, the crew was familiar with the venue and the space around the venue.
Turning up at Justin's apartment where he was getting ready, the groomsmen were full in action, with a few beers being shared around, they got right into the action of things as Justin & his crew needed to catch their Helicopter to the Sanctuary Cove Chapel, and we didn't want to miss anything! He was very much a boys boy and was great to see that him and his mates where so close and had a obvious bond. It was also obvious how much he cares for Soraya and her wedding dream as when Rob arrived Justin had all the guys suits and accessories set out just like in some of the videos they had liked.
We only spent a short amount of time with the boys before, we needed to head off to Soraya and her girls, so the team of two on video for the whole day went down the road to this private house by the water, where Soraya was getting ready. We can't stress to our brides enough the importance of the placement of where she is getting ready. Soraya was nervous but the comfort of her bridal party and the girls kept her smiling and calm throughout the getting ready process. With a wide and open space, and the whole room coming through with natural lighting, Soraya did perfectly, the was outdone was her exquisite wedding gown and a train anyone would kill to have!!
When it was time to read the letters from both sides, it was amazing to see that both of them was a bit emotional, while reading there letter which is so great to see these are J'adore couples. This is the type of love we want to capture and the people we want to spend our days with as this show another different element and feel of true love.
It was time to set off to the ceremony and everything was coming together smoothly. Previously having a J'adore crew shooting at a previous wedding at the same ceremony earlier that day, I was confident in the day turning out to be pretty epic! The Wedding Co-ordinator David was amazing help, with the help of effectively being able to know where everything was, i was able to get everything set up before I had to head off and shoot Justin's 'movie' like entrance. I remember in the speeches the best man speaking about Justin loving a grand entrance; well nothing could have prepared me for such a awesome landing. With two helicopters landing down to the side of the chapel, I got some landscape shots of the groomsmen exiting the helicopter before going in for some more close up shots of Justin exiting his helicopter.
This made for some pretty amazing footage, and Justin definitely nailed his entrance, still he was needing to face his soon to be bride and I couldn't wait to see the connection they both had when Justin saw her for the first time. He seemed to be getting a little more nervous as the minutes ticked by, and the whole feel of the venue was so excited to see their beautiful bride walk down the aisle. First Soraya's bridal crew turned up in their floor length pink bridesmaids gowns lining up to the side out of the crowds views. Next Soraya was to turn up accompanied by her proud father. The emotions were flowing as the bridesmaids started to make their transition down the aisle. Soraya was crying when she started to walk down the aisle and Justin wasn't much better, with the lip quivers and the tears gleaming in his eyes, you could tell these two were going to be a beautiful match.
The photos section was a lot of fun with the official stuff out of the road the whole bridal party relaxed and let there hair down. we got to have a bit of fun with the drone and the whole bridal crew, so we set them apart with a boy and girls trio getting them to dance around and just have a blast, soaking up today. Then we brought our couple together for some more intimate moments by the intercontinental fountain before heading of to the reception. Justin and Soraya came storming into their reception with Justin carrying Soraya bridal style. Just when I thought that they had already laid their hair down and started having fun at the photos section I was surprised to find they have a few levels left as the party started. Tt really was great to be a extended part of the bridal party and had a great night throughout the night, even after some convincing with Justin to have a drink when ending the night.
It really is guys like these that make our job so special, I sometimes feel that having shared these moments so closely with them will leave a bond for a long time to come and I look forward to sharing the next drinks with these amazing individuals.
