Bridal Expo @ the Gold Coast Convention Centre

Don't forget the Bridal Expo which is on tomorrow at the Gold Coast Convention Centre - see you there!

New Sol Photography Web Site Launched!!!

We are really excited about the launch of our new website as it has taken several months of work to get it to this stage. We are still tweaking bits and pieces with it but at last it is LIVE!!! Any feedback about what you like or don't like would be really appreciated. Its still at the same address www.solphotography.com.au.

Family Portraits Gold Coast, Brisbane & Northern Rivers

I guess this is just a bit of an ad for ourselves to remind our lovely clients that we also specialise in family portrait photography and also individual or couples portrait photography. We have a portable studio and equipment so we can come to your home, birthday party or special event to take those precious photos that you will value as a family for years to come. We especially find its a great idea to photograph young children and babies in their home environment where they feel comfortable and will more likely be themselves. For family groups we usually suggest going to a nearby park or beach where the family can be photographed having a good laugh and some real fun together. Our style is natural, as always, so we endeavour to capture real emotion, rather than staged smiles, which is much more beautiful as your photos will capture the true personalities of yourselves and children. Don't forget to include the family pet!

For more information please contact us via our website www.solphotography.com.au or to see more of our portraits we have a specific portrait section on our website.

Jamie & Micheal's Currumbin Wedding Photos

Jamie & Micheal looked absolutely gorgeous on their wedding day which was a beautiful sunny day at Currumbin's Flat Rock beach. Another reminder of why we love being wedding photographers on the Gold Coast! Their reception was held at the Tugun Surf Club with the fantastic panoramic views of the ocean from the balcony. For more of Jamie & Micheal's wedding photos please see the 'recent weddings' section of our website.

Angela & Ron's wedding at Q-Deck

Q-Deck are another of our favourite venues who we are very lucky to work with on a regular basis. The views are stunning and the events coordinators really look after their clients beautifully. Angela and Ron had a very intimate wedding there and also included a location shoot at the beach which is another great reason why this venue is so good - the beach is within walking distance!

Expo @ the Gold Coast Art Centre

We had a really busy but very enjoyable day at the expo at the Gold Coast Art Centre on Sunday - a big hello to all we met there. We have booked quite a few weddings as a result and met a lot of great people. We'll definitely be back next year!

Emma & Tim ... wedding in Brisbane!

Emma & Tim were married on the 21st November at the LaTrobe Chapel in Brisbane and then had their reception at the Wynnum Golf Club... in between the ceremony, which was beautiful, and the reception they had a really funky photo shoot in Brisbane City. They started at the Powerhouse, then went for a bit a walk to some other great locations nearby.

Brooke & Adam @ Santai, Casuarina

We loved this wedding for many reasons. Firstly because it was close to home - yay! Secondly because we work very closely with the Santai Resort, in particular the Bamboo Restaurant. This place is very contemporary with a balinese feel and beautiful lagoon pools and tropical gardens... right by the beach! Santai is at Casuarina, just south of Kingscliff. This whole area is underpopulated and perfect for beach shots without any people in the background. Quite often these beaches are all but deserted. Brooke and Adam, along with their little girls enjoyed a very relaxed, natural style of photo shoot with absolutely stunning shots to show for it.

Jo & Anthony November 2009

Wow... this was a hilariously fun but of course beautiful wedding. The whole bridal party was rather naughty, causing Dan to blush more than once! We won't show you here but some of the photos were rather risque and just so funny. I think you'll agree that weddings don't have to be serious all the time - there's plenty of opportunity to have a laugh and these guys definitely did that.  I think this wedding is a perfect example of a bride and groom truly being themselves on the day. They were married at Victoria Park Golf Course in Brisbane, a very beautiful location. I know their album will be gorgeous - I can't wait to get started on it...

Alleah & Ben October 2009 @ The Radisson

Alleah & Ben were another of our delightful October clients and chose the gorgeous Radisson Resort Gold Coast for everything. This is one place where you really can have it all from getting ready through to the ceremony, location shoot and reception and with great style.

Trying to Catch Up

I'm running really behind with our blog...sorry! Actually its because we've been so busy and that's a great problem for us to have... loads of beautiful photos as a result. We really love what we do. We have a fantastic life photographing other peoples very special and memorable day - doesn't get much better than this! I am always (Bec) very excited to see the photos from the day of shooting that Dan return's with and he often sits up late into the night after a wedding to view all the photos he's taken throughout the day. He's always very amped up as he pores himself out for every couple and really enjoys the fun and excitement of the day. So this is how he unwinds, with a nice cold beer or glass of red. We've made lots of new friends because of Dan's dedication and enthusiasm on the wedding day which is wonderful.

To previous clients... if you'd like me to show your photos here or on our facebook account please let me know as I don't profile every wedding we do as I just don't get the time to.

Kaleb's Birthday!

As most of our clients will know - we had a little baby boy on October 26th 2008 so we have just celebrated his first birthday! Its been a fantastic year for us as a family and as a business. We have shot loads of beautiful weddings, created many albums and made a lot of knew friends throughout the year. We have also enjoyed much valued family time and loved watching our little man grow and develop, delighting us all along the way. 

Carolyn & Tim 17th October 2009

Carolyn & Tim had another beautiful day for their wedding with the sun shining brightly and no rain in sight. They were married at Paradise Point, a stunning place for wedding photography, with their wedding reception at Gordoni's Cafe. These guys really relaxed during their location which is really important so we can capture how you are really feeling on the day - not just your nerves about being photographed. If you are particularly uncomfortable in front of the camera then consider an Engagement Shoot - this gives us an opportunity to get to know you better. Other couples have said they felt very positive about the wedding photo shoot afterwards and were much more comfortable as a result.
