Diana and Jonny were married at the beautiful and very decadent Crowne Plaza at Pelican Waters on the Sunshine Coast, on August 2nd.
They had a wonderful day full of a lot of love and laughter, and I was privileged to be asked, not only to photograph their day, but to also to attend their reception as a friend.
This post is only a sneak peek for now – a full post will come once Diana and Jonny have had a chance to sit down with me and view all their images.
Jacob did such a great job of being best man … although he wasn’t too keen on having his shirt buttoned all the way up around his neck!
The Bling!
Jacob’s Bling! Soccer ball cufflinks … VERY cool :)
A full wedding image post to come soon ….

Just a few images of Grace’s baptism at Coffs Harbour in July this year.
Here she is with mum & dad, along with her godparents (who also happen to be nanny and poppy – Yvonne is Michael’s mother, and Don is Amanda’s father) at the font (?). She was such a tropper this day – slept right through it all!
A beautiful shot snuggled up with dad after mass.
Nanny Yvonne made the beautiful blanket Grace is all wrapped up in.
Our Gracie is just spoiled with love – here she is with her parents, her godparents, and Chris & I who are her guardians.
I had to include this shot for Poppy Don … Grace was a little out of sorts the day before and poor Don seemed to cop the brunt of it, so I just love how she is smiling at him here.
Does anyone recognise this adorable face? Especially
those eyes??
It’s Jackson, all grown up at one year of age now!
He’s Gracie’s big cousin, and such a happy little man.

Very, very overdue post considering our lovely little lady has just turned 6 months (and that session is now due!), but here they are – a few images of Grace at 3 months old …
Nanny & Poppy stopped by so we had to grab a quick shot with them too!

I am SO behind on posting! I have a beautiful wedding, a baptism, Grace’s 3 month session (when her 6 month session is now due!) and this … Chris’s birthday from June this year. We headed out to a park for a lazy picnic in the warm sunshine with our friends and my family, some great food and wine, and we had a blast!
Jonny, Jacob, Carl and Chris
Sarah and Mardee
My brother Michael, and my mum
My brother Andrew and his girlfriend Clare
Joel, a pregnant Gabby, Mia and Emerson
Sarah, Diana & Joel
Sarah, striking a pose :)
This series of images is from very late in the day, when it was us with Sarah & Carl and Mardee left standing. Chris wanted to keep celebrating and have Jagger shots with any willing person – I was driving, Carl was driving, Sarah was sick with the flu, so it was up to Mardee indulge him … these just cracks me up!!

Congratulations John, Donna and beautiful baby Mitch!
Thank you to everyone who participated and supported their family & friends in this competition.
To my clients, if you haven’t done so already, have a scroll through the ‘Comments & Thoughts’ box at the bottom of the competition post – your friends and family have written some really lovely things about you all, it was such a joy to read them! Especially the following comment made by ‘Nanny and Poppy’ when they voted for our runner up, entry #12:
Mitch seems to be saying “So tell me daddy, what does the future hold for me?”
“Well son, together we will slay dragons, play lots of golf and love and cherish Mummy”.
This picture to us is the essence of evolution.
Nanny & Poppy, your beautiful comment brought tears to my eyes! Look out for your own copy of our runner up image coming your way!
Thank you all again for your support :)
