Newcastle Wedding Photography & Video, Weinmmannia & Talia

Hi all, I just wanted to start this one off by saying how appreciative I am being able to attend this wedding down in Newcastle. As previously…almost a year ago now, we got the privilege of working with Sila & Sarah on their big day, so we were extremely excited to catch up with the couple to see how everything was going along. But first we had a new Bride and Groom to be excited for, Sila's cousin Weinmmannia & his soon to be bride Talia were getting married at the beautiful Crowne Plaza Newcastle having their reception at the magical Fort Scratchley.

When we had arrived at the girl’s house, Talia was attending to her 2 beautiful children Cherish & Eddie while the girls took turns getting their hair and make up done. We got straight into setting up the dress, shoes & accessories, having 2 hours for getting ready shots was amazing for us. We love being able to take the time to get things as perfect as we can, priding ourselves in the quality of the work we do & provide to all of our couples.  The girls had a great time having a few drinks whilst getting their hair & make up done all morning, fussing over the beautiful bride & dancing around the living room with the 2 beautiful children.

The 5 bride’s maids wearing soft purple dresses, Talia with a gorgeous flower crown in her hair to match the bridesmaid dresses. The weather today was just perfect! A beautiful sunny day, it couldn’t get any better for this beautiful wedding. 

Mannia & the boy’s preparation went smoothly as well, jumping in the stretched hummer limo they began their journey to the ceremony. Mania celebrated & commemorated his family by wearing badges on his shirt of the people that have passed to keep them close by.

The ceremony was great to be apart of with a great balance of fun moments as well as a few emotional. The location was a great spot for wedding photography & video, the crew and I enjoyed the scenery a lot! especially on such a beautiful day it doesn’t get much better than this.

The beautiful wedding photos on top of the hill which made the dress blow out and looked amazing! This being where he first asked her out, looking over the ocean this was a very special moment in time for the both of them.

Moving onto the reception after entry we noticed a beautiful sunset outside so we quickly snuck them away for  a short while to get a little bit more footage & some effortlessly gorgeous photos.

At the reception the 5-layer cake as well as separate cakes for the people that had to get them by tradition the preast, both families of the bride & groom. The night was filled with fun on the dance floor, these guys really new how to party this made for some great atmosphere.

Thanks for taking the time to have a read.

Braeside Wedding Photography & Videography Gold Coast

in

This is another one of J'adore’s favourite wedding venue's that we love. A wedding ceremony held in Braeside Chapel captures that nostalgic feeling as the vintage timber creates an air of simplicity to showcase some of the best country weddings. When ever we post one of our wedding Video or images from this venue to our facebook page there is always a big response. 

The Chapel seats 90 guests plus the bridal party, & lets not forget to mention it has its own audio system, which is great for the team at here if you're choosing to go with one of our videography packages, as there isn't much room left in the chapel we believe this is where a team like ours really helps as our photographers and videographers know exactly where to be & when. With different companies a space like this really can be difficult to work in as we often get in each other's way.

Braeside Chapel on the Gold coast is 15 minutes away from Surfers paradise & conveniently located 10 minutes away from Broadbeach. It's perfectly within distance to all major hotels for after the legalities. But why would you want to leave? 

The chapel is situated on the upper lawn and garden that's close to the large marquee for receptions. There are many photographic opportunities at Braeside venue, such as the games areas, the rustic old shed, the Southern Cross Windmill, just to name a few.

The large Marquee for receptions or any style or celebration, measures 15 x 12 metres and is fully lined. As you emerge into the reception area, it's lit up by two chandeliers at either end with the most attractive large chandelier being in the centre. Attached to the marquee is an additional tent measuring 6 x 3 metres, with lighting, electricity & water available for the use of your selected caterer. In front of the marquee is an area with seating and plenty of room for your guests to gather, relax & enjoy canapés as well as drinks from the nearby bar, whilst the bridal party completes their photos down on the lower lawn before joining their guests in the marquee.

The marquee will seat 120 at round tables that take up to 10 chairs.

We have been lucky enough to shoot lots including just wedding photography & just videography, but as mentioned it's always ideal when we can do our wedding photo & video combo at this amazing venue.

Engagement Photography & Video Gold Coast, Mount Tamborine

We love engagement photography & video, there’s just something about it. The excitement of the upcoming wedding you can really see just how much it shows in the photos, the raw emotion & love our couples have for each other. Which is personally what I enjoy the most about what I do, capturing those precious moments of pure love & happiness. Its what we al aspire to have right? Surrounding myself by this creates a wealth of genuine joy & happiness for each and every one of my couples.  It is a no pressure, fun situation which makes for some great images. generally, with an easy going atmosphere I like to make this as comfortable as I can for my Mr & Mrs to be.

 It is also the best way to get to know our couples, spend the afternoon laughing while at the same time getting comfortable in front of the camera with out even realising it. More often then not we here the male say that actually wasn't as bad as they had originally thought. We have included a selection of our couples for your viewing pleasure. Contact us now & lock in your engagement shoot, We also have special offers for couples that book there wedding with us as well even if its at a later date you will get the discount of your wedding package, Winning!

We are open to any location but we have found a few that we really enjoy & feel that they are ideal for a shoot like this as they all have multiple options. The Spit is one of the Gold coasts most popular spots, with options looking both directions for sunrise and sunset overlooking the beach as well as the greenery inland. I also use this venue a lot for wedding photography and video as well.

Out next favourite spot is Tamborine Mountain Botanical Gardens, this is great for the couple that want to make a bit of a day of it and spend the day up at Mt Tamborine maybe have some lunch or visit a winery, Again the bonus of this spot is amazing gardens & so many different locations with different feels. I have been here several times now for weddings as well & I still find new spots I love every time I go.  

Our third & final is the Benowa Botanical Gardens this is also used as a wedding destination as well but is actually quiet enough to use as a regular spot, the lake is the highlight here with gardens & some interesting structures surrounding it. We suggest these 3 for our engagement clients as we know we will get at least 10 great different images from each spot.  

Engagement videos are only fairly new & they have dual purposes. I personally am going to be pushing more & more to do these as video is my primary passion as well as what I enjoy doing most here at J’adore. You can use as a build up to the wedding, tell people your love story of how you both met & the moment you both fell in love. Talk about how excited you are for the wedding & discuss some of the emotions that flow through you when thinking about the special wedding moments like walking down the isle.

Thank you so much for reading my blog. I love to know what your thoughts are.
