Emma and Cam

Just because the weather gods aren't on your side doesn't mean you still can't have a the wedding of your dreams.

Emma and Cam held their wedding in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens and surrounded themselves with family and close friends, the sort that all banded together to ensure the rain wasn't going to hold them back. Just as Emma prepared to walk down the path to stand beside her beau the rain clouds opened and it bucketed down. Guests ran for cover, the chief bridesmaid who was half way down the "aisle" turned back to seek shelter under a shared umbrella and Emma turned to her Dad with an "oh well" look on her face. It took just a few minutes for the rain to pass so everyone prepared to go again.

Emma walked down with her Dad to the delight of the crowd and you could see the pride on Cam's face. The photo shoot was completed as we wandered along the city streets to the Rugby Club, and as you can clearly see everyone had a great time.

I love rainy weddings, especially the ones where the bride keeps her chin up and realises they still get to have a great day and live happily ever after. I'm also especially grateful for the R&D Nikon and Canon have put into sealing their top of the line cameras against inclement weather.

Candice and Nic

How's this for an infectious smile!

Candice and Nic nailed what many would consider the dream wedding. Surrounded by close family, it went without a hitch and as you can see C and N had a great time. I think one of the secrets is to just let the wedding have a life of it's own. You don't need every five minutes planned, and you don't need to spend two hours away from your guests on a photo shoot.

The photo shoot here was just 15 minutes spent around the back of Hillstone, one of my favourite Brisbane wedding venues. Great food, lots of easy going staff and in my many many weddings there never once have I had a couple mention any sort problem. For a Brisbane wedding Hillstone at St Lucia offers everything.
