For a while now I have been working behind the scenes for couples to produce a run sheet or timeline for their wedding day.

2020 really changed the landscape for wedding photographers, moving forward what are photographers going to look like to couples?

I want to offer more to a wider range of couples as in the past I have only drawn up timelines for weddings that I was a part of. I’m happy to announce that when weddings start back up later this year I am offering my time line service to any couple, even if I’m not shooting your wedding. So if you are eloping or having a smaller wedding I’m here for you. If you have a small budget and the photography package you have does not have a solid timeline built specifically for you, I’m here to assist.

I will only be charging for my time and you will receive a professional and personal timeline that will set you up to succeed and have a amazing wedding day!

Ask yourself do you want to go into your wedding day with confidence and know that you will have time for everything that is important to you?

I hate hearing couples say that there wasn’t enough time for enjoying the moment or that things they had planned didn’t work out because a timeline that wasn’t prepared properly for their circumstances. Timelines only work for the couple they were prepared for, if nothing else believe this!

Timelines are like anything there are great ones and there are bad ones. Bad ones generally are created in a rush, through inexperience or with poor information. Unfortunately a bad one leaves you with regrets on your wedding day.

Everything counts when drawing up a timeline – time of year, locations before and after the ceremony, where you will all be before the ceremony, if anyone has a surprise for the other person. The list goes on and I have seen so many things you wouldn’t even think about go wrong on a wedding day. A great timeline will afford you time to fix the little things that may pop up with human error not bad planning.

I am a planner and I live for behind the scenes structure on a wedding day it makes my job so much more rewarding and enjoyable.

If you want more info shoot me a message 0432 592065 or through my socials or webpage.

I will be charging a flat fee of $99.00 for a wedding day timeline and it will be put together with your unique set of circumstances. A timeline can be three + hours of work collectively.

If I’m shooting your wedding this is free and already taken care of!

I will provide a draft and you get to revise and discuss changes to suit your needs. The final copy will be in your hands one month before your big day which allows for last minute changes to be included and gives you the security of knowing a month out your plan for the day is solid.

Once confirmation comes through I will email or text (your preference) a easy to fill in question sheet to help me frame out your wedding day.

By email or text whichever you prefer I work until you are thrilled with the timeline. Remember I am all about making sure your day is exactly what you want and all of the details will be decided by what you value, not what other couples or venues think will work best.

Bellingdale Farm is the newest venue on offer from the owners of Summergrove Estate, Situated in Nunderi minutes from Murwillumbah it is positioned perfectly for stunning location photos on and around the property. While I have not had the pleasure of seeing this property it promises to quickly become a sought after wedding venue available in the beautiful northern NSW area. I have shot sessions and wedding portraits around the whole region and they are always stunning!

The image above is of a private property in the same region that was dressed for a small intimate wedding.

As weekend dates are booked well in advance of 24 months in some cases its great to see a number of new quality venues popping up and also the weekday intimate wedding gathering popularity. In either case I’m eager to book weddings at Bellingdale of any size and in particular let people know that I have great availabilities for smaller intimate weddings this year especially in the current uncertain climate where travel is becoming a risk people don’t want to take financially.

Here is the link to their website and information I would be more than happy to chat if you want to scout the area or venue.

Last week I met a friend at Baked at Ancora we like to catch up somewhere different each time as there is always something new to try! The other reason I chose Ancora is I’ve been dying to check out what they have to offer as a wedding venue, and it did not disappoint. It also gave me the motivation to do something I’ve been thinking about for a while now which is showcasing wedding venues that I think are great between Brisbane and Byron, not including pop up locations or elopement spots. I sat down today and wrote out a list and there are 66 of them! Wow! Over the next few days I’m going to make a dedicated page on my website and start filling in the info. I thought I’d start with all of the A’s because we all know I like to organise.
Ardeena
Ancora – Weddings
Austinvilla Estate
Altitude 261
Albert River Wines
I aim to speak to the coordinators of each venue and write a small bio/take some images of their spaces so when I’m finished I’ll have a comprehensive list to help couples start their search. That and I genuinely love exploring new spots!

How cute is this little caravan at Ancora! Such a fab little area that would transform at night under the festoon lights.

I used to live in Bilambil so I know some amazing spots so close to Ancora if you wanted beautiful portraits on your wedding day.

For the remainder of February 2020 I am offering mini session bookings for engagements/couples.

Details are as follows:

30 minute session at sunset on the Gold Coast

$249.00 payment due when booking date.

Shoot can be taken at anytime (subject to availability) But must be booked and paid for by Feb 29th, 2020.

The sessions are timed for sunset, so they will start 45 min before sunset, I will determine the start time once you have picked your date.

Think about having your wedding hair and makeup trial on the afternoon of the shoot.

Wear smart casual clothing, nothing too tight or uncomfortable. Block or solid colours are best.

Arrive, have fun, get epic images, print something and display in your home!

Lets talk about wedding photos not specifically the taking of the photos or how the photographer (me) was great for you on your wedding day but how are you going to use those photos and what will be their significance to you in the future?

The things I’m going to write about today are naturally the things I believe and practice as it matters to me how you look at your wedding day photos in the future.

Galleries – you should be able to access your wedding day gallery anywhere. As long as you have a phone or device and a wifi connection you are good to go.
Imagine you want to post something on social media or show someone a great image, you should be able to do this from your phone. Having a set of folders relevant to each section of your wedding keeps all of your memories organised and easily accessible.
As part of your wedding gallery you will have access to an app for your phone that allows you to store up to 200 of your favourite images as a slideshow!

Albums or coffee table books – get those beautiful images in print, something tangible for people to pick up in your home and talk about. There will always be hero shots that you love and what better way to honour those images than creating prints or canvas, large acrylic art pieces, or acrylic circles. Art is always a great choice!

I don’t disappear after your gallery is delivered I’m here for you with advice and suggestions when you want to honour your images for the future.
