Ivy & Ju just came in to finish the design of their wedding album. I asked them what the most memorable part of their day was and this is what Ju said…. “When we were standing and facing one another. We felt so emotional. It reminded me how many years we had waited for this moment together.”
What a beautiful thing to say. I knew what he meant. It wasn’t that Ivy & Ju had had a really really long relationship. He was referring to all the time before they were together too. He was talking about that long journey we all take to find that person - the one that makes us feel complete. Ivy is that person for him. Their love makes me smile.
Ivy, from China & Ju, from Korea meant that their wedding was a wonderful mix of their western lives and their Chinese and Korean heritage. It was colourful, musical, beautiful. Their family & friends, including Ivy’s mum travelled all the way from China and Korea to see them marry here in Brisbane – their new home. And Brisbane did not disappoint. The weather was perfect for their outdoor ceremony in the heart of our city at Roma St Parklands. Perfect for getting in a Porsche and heading to the Hilton for the reception. Perfect for a glorious wedding, with a touch of magic from The little white wedding company, Styled Events and Always Fabulous Flowers. And almost as good as Ivy in her Vera Wang dress and Gucci shoes. Then of course there was the cake (you’ll see what I mean in the photos) – that is the work of the talented Greg from Sweetums.
The most memorable part of the day for me…..Ju’s Dad taking to the stage in traditional Korean costume to sing a special song to Ivy & Ju in Korean. I didn’t understand it, but I loved it!
Ivy & Ju I hope in these photos, I’ve given you that moment, forever, and I wish you many many more special moments together.

TIme for another great wedding by Adam. We photograph a lot of Brisbane couples getting married on the Sunshine Coast. Chloe & Jonathan did the opposite. They are a Sunshine Coast couple who chose to have their wedding in beautiful Brisbane. Chloe got dressed with a quintessential view of Brisbane from the Stamford Plaza before leaving for their…

Been dying to share these amazing images from Adam with you. This was a commitment ceremony that he absolutely loved photographing – not just because of the venue - Villa Botanica in the glorious Whitsundays – but because of the people. So I asked Adam to put down a few words about it……. From Adam:…

2012 has been off to a fantastic start and I have been holding off sharing some great weddings on the blog because I still have some weddings from 2011 that I want to post. I just can’t wait to share this one. Rebecca and Dan had a traditional jewish ceremony at the Sydney Great Synagogue. …

Here is another beautiful wedding from the end of 2011 that I’m only now sharing with you. I have to get faster at this, I know! Cheryl & Tim actually had their wedding planned for 2012, so maybe I’m ahead of the game on this one. You know how sometimes in life things just don’t…

There are some weddings where the images just tell you so much about the people. The love between the couple just oozes off the page, and the expressions of their family and friends tell you all you need to know about what kind of people they are. This is one of those weddings. Add to that the…

I am really looking forward to the weddings I am going to get to photograph this year. The couples I have met so far have some really beautiful plans for their weddings. I realise though that there are still so many great weddings from 2011 that I still haven’t shared on this blog. So I am…

From some of the trends I’ve seen in weddings I think there might be a misconception that big church weddings aren’t as personal as small gatherings of friends & family at an outdoor ceremony. Here is a wedding that proves that even a grand cathedral wedding can be intimate. I love this wedding. This wedding shows that it doesn’t really matter…

Aristotle said ” friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies”. Maybe he had met Kate and Jackson in an earlier life. I am sure these two were destined to be together and that it was written in the stars somewhere a long time ago. They are just right for each other. When I…

Here is a wedding that I just have to share. I don’t often use the word awesome, I think it gets over used & loses its real meaning, a little like the word love - but this wedding – well it qualifies as truly AWESOME!!! It is not often that Studio Impressions sends three photographers to a wedding. …

Just had to share with you the wedding of Andrea & Anthony photographed by Adam. This was a great wedding with lots of little touches and traditions that were a reflection of them. They had lots of flowers, a string quartet, Pacific Island dancers, and Andrea’s favourite band from PNG. And there were lots and lots of hugs & kisses from family…
