RACV Royal Pines Wedding Photography & Videography
Starting this wonderful day with the groom’s prep we were in and out before they knew it and on our way to Bonnie & her bridesmaids. Arriving at the girls just about ready we started snapping away, getting all of the detail shots as we awaited Bonnie in her stunning gown, crafted by none other than Rosa & Mary's Bridal Shop. Wearing a gorgeous crystal headpiece Bonnie looked nothing short of AMAZING! Hair done by Kelly Coleman & flowers supplied by Alanah Cherie Floristry everything couldn't have been more perfect! Having her 3 bridesmaids assist her in doing up the delicate buttons on the back of the gown for the first time in her life it was safe to say she was a little nervous, and from what we know of Bonnie this doesn't happen very often! Just goes to show how close she holds Mitch to her heart, nerves are such a natural part of this process. Sometimes you just need to embrace the ride for what it is and know that at the end of the day, everything will be Ok. & That's exactly what it was, more than okay though. it was fantastic!! Seeing the smiles on both of their faces come reception time it was safe to say they enjoyed the ride & had a great time along the way!
Shortly after finishing with the bridal prep, we made our way back downstairs to the chapel which had been beautifully decorated by our favourite events design team W Events Group. They had gone above & beyond with the arbour which was just beautiful! Covered in stunning floral accompanied by a macrame in the background. While the guests were patiently waiting outside we wasted no time in getting everything set up & ready to go for Bonnie’s entrance.
Before long it was GO time. One by one the bridesmaids made their way to the arbor as Bonnie followed closely behind. The smile on Mitch’s face was priceless, you could just see in his eyes how much Bonnie meant to him at that very moment. Capturing that moment on camera is just as priceless as the moment itself, enabling couples to go back to these social points in time has to be one of my favourite parts. Having the ability to do this warms my heart & fuels my passion for what I do as a wedding photographer. & I know that Rob & the rest of the J’adore family feel the same.
Having the one and only Shane Vincent celebrant to marry both Bonnie & Mitch there was no dull moment in sight, with his quirky attitude and well-spoken manner it was the perfect ceremony and fit the bride & groom’s personalities perfectly. It wasn't long now before they were walking hand in hand as Mr & Mrs Straube. & boy were they happy about it!!
Moving outside we continued with the congratulations and family portraits. before we knew it, it was time to head off in the buggies to our first photo location, Spending a good few hours getting some amazing images wasn't hard with such a playful group. Having Bonnie & Mitch’s furry baby come & say hello was a major bonus for them both… maybe me too… I love dogs! Especially when they are as gorgeous as this one! Getting a few quick family portraits he was just loving it! There was nothing but licks on the face and some very happy faces.
As the sun was setting the coolness of winter started to kick in, thus being time to head up to reception. Being on the 21st floor the view was great, and the layout was even better again styled by W Events Group. Coming straight into the first dance it was beautiful, watching them both move so calmly around the dance floor in each other’s arms just reminds you of how special a love like theirs is. Straight after Bonnie & her father had a dance together and was no different, such intense love between the two nearly made me tear up just watching!
The food started to come out as everyone enjoyed mingling amongst themselves, shortly after this followed the speeches and cutting of the cake, made and crafted by Corbolicious Cakes Short & sweet yet beautiful in their ways.
We thank Mitch & Bonnie for having us be a part of their special day and we cannot wait to share all of their gorgeous images & video with you. From the team here at J’adore we wish the both of you nothing but pure happiness, love & a lot of laughter! which I'm sure there will be no shortage of!!
Congratulations!!

RACV Royal Pines Gold Coast Wedding Photo & Video - Mitch & Bonnie
Meeting with these two a short while before the wedding you could just tell they were easy going, down to earth, lovely people. The first initial meet went quite well, we all got along great & in the blink of an eye it was they're wedding day.
Making our way to one of our most visited wedding venues, RACV Royal Pines we were eager to get into the action. Starting with Bonnie & the girls i think its safe to say for the first time in her life she was nervous. & apparently for Bonnie this is a big deal, so we knew we were in for a great day. With the emotions running high, we could see she just couldn't wait to marry the man of her dreams.
& might I just add she was looking just gorgeous, having her makeup done by Abby hair by one of her talented bridesmaids Kelly Coleman with a beautiful head piece to finish it off words couldn't explain. It was definitely her day and she looked nothing short of a princess.
Making our short way over to the boys who were just down the hall, it was no different. Mitch just couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. Just the way we like it!! Getting some quick shots of his preparation it wasn't long before we needed to start our journey down to the chapel.
Originally it was supposed to be an outdoor ceremony, but with the weather as it was this made it a little difficult. Luckily we had the great team from RACV & W Events to save the day with a gorgeous indoors set up. Featuring a big wooden arbor covered in some beautiful floral the set up was still amazing non the less.
In no time at all, Bonnie was walking through the doors with her father by her side & all eyes on her. As she made her way down the aisle there were tears, smiles and nothing but love flowing her way. Having the celebrant being the infamous Shane Vincent the ceremony was full of laughs. Thus being our first time working with Shane we enjoyed it just as much as everyone else.
Before long, the vows had been said, the rings had been placed on one another fingers & they were named man & wife. Nothing could bring these two down, not even a little bit of bad weather.
Walking out of the ceremony we moved straight into family photos, followed by the photos section. Which i think its safe to say all parties loved! we had a special visit from their fury baby Sonny who was just GORGEOUS! Getting Sonny in the photos was just perfect, a sweet little family portrait for both Bonnie & Mitch to treasure forever.
After e finished the photos section it was time for the reception, coming straight into the first dance yet again there was nothing but smiles and love filing the room. Moving beautifully around the room to the sweet sound of Chris Hutchison it was definitely a moment to remember!
Moving onto the speeches they were kept short & sweet, although Dad’s speech was very special as they always are. Listening to the love he shares for his daughter Bonnie was pure love, one of my favourite parts is hearing the speeches. Out comes all of the heartfelt beautiful words of wisdom, love & appreciation.
It was now time for us to head off shortly after speeches had completed, saying our goodbyes we wishes Mitch & Bonnie the very best!! Cant wait to get them into the studio to show them their wedding gallery, album design and wedding video!! :D
