Andrea & Lucas 11th October 2009 @ Burleigh Heads

Andrea & Lucas were married on one of those days that you really were hoping to avoid - raining, windy, precarious! It was however a wonderful wedding with the ceremony changed from the beach to the North Burleigh Surf Club just to be on the safe side and the reception was also held there. Fortunately it cleared up enough for a stunning and very hilarious location shoot to take place on the beach.

Lucy & Nathan @ Froggy's Beach 3rd October 2009

Lucy & Nathan chose a gorgeous spot for their ceremony - Froggy's Beach at Tweed Heads. Its a very small, intimate location with a big green frog painted on one of the large boulders - hence the name! It was a hot day despite only being early in October but a perfect day for a wedding. Lucy & Nathan then celebrated their reception at the Bamboo Restaurant, Santai Domain Resort , Casuarina. This is a truly beautiful restaurant and also a great location for photos as the grounds of the resort are stunning and just a stones throw from the beach.

Emma & Daniel's Kingscliff Wedding September 2009

Emma & Daniel made the most of this beautiful part of the world - Kingscliff. They married in the local Catholic Church with a lovely traditional ceremony then headed down to Cabarita Headland for a glorious location shoot, despite the wind! We included one hilarious photo of the wind picking up Emma's veil and depositing it rather unceremoniously on Bec, from Sol Photography , during the location shoot! Once the sun had well and truly set, with Dan shooting right up to dark,  the bridal parted departed for Kingscliff Beach Club - another venue we love working with as they always provide a fantastic service to their clients.

Rebecca & Graeme 19th September 2009

Oceanview Winery at Mt Mee was a new location for us and a fantastic rural backdrop for this fantastic couple. Bec & Graeme really enjoyed their day and have a beautiful flushmount album to remember it by.

Rebecca & Troy 12 September 2009

Rebecca & Troy had lovely weather for their wedding held at Macarthur Park Wedding Chapel & Gardens which is a beautiful location little chapel in a rainforest setting. The gardens provided the perfect backdrop for the location shoot with stunning results! They then went to the Courthouse Restaurant in Cleveland for a very intimate reception.

Kristy & Jamie

On the 5th September Kristy & Jamie's gorgeous wedding took place at The Glades - one of our favourite places to shoot. So many different spots for your location shoot provides you with a lot of contrast for your photos. Kristy & Jamie were lots of fun and finished the night with a beautiful Lantern Ceremony. There videography was done by our friends at Fisheye Studio who we love working with!

THINK PINK IN OCTOBER!

Just want to remind everyone that it's breast cancer awareness month starting tomorrow - October. I encourage you to think pink and purchase something when and where you can that will contribute to this very important cause. Please see www.nbcf.org.au  for more information.

Tip for the week!

Now as tempting as it is... it's not a great idea to wear fake tan on your wedding day because you come up looking very orange in photos!  So pleeeeeaaaaaaaaase go a la natural for the sake of your precious photos.

Bec.

Lisa & Peter had a beautiful country wedding at Cedar Creek Estate  in the Gold Coast Hinterland - Mt Tamborine. It was a delightful day with soft sunlight helping us to achieve stunning photographs.

Paula & Dan are a fantastic Brazilian couple - lots of fun and laughs were had and gorgeous photos that reflect how much these two really enjoy each other and life itself! Their wedding ceremony and reception took place at The Glades Golf Club which is a lovely venue at Robina, Gold Coast. We have photographed weddings at The Glades Golf Club before and find it to be a very welcoming venue with a lot of scope for wedding photos.

Natalie & Tony at South Stradbroke Island July 2009

Naasha and Tony had a beautiful beach wedding with their ceremony and reception at Couran Cove Island Resort, South Stradbroke Island. Natasha and her bridesmaids arrived by Cloud 9 Seaplanes which was such a fantastic entrance! This is a beautifully private place to get married and yet only half an hour by water taxi from Sanctuary Cove.The island provided a fantastic setting for wedding photos as are so many different backdrops and settings in a small area with out any need to travel to your location shoot.

Maree & Troy's Kingscliff Wedding

Maree & Troy

Maree and Troy's wedding took place on the beautiful beach at Kingscliff Mantra on Salt Beach. It was a stunning day, not a cloud in the sky!! This was a perfect example of the perfect beach wedding - no wind, no clouds and no rain! Maree's dress is from Shiraz BrIdal and her flowers are from Banora Flowers - just stunning aren't they!

Sol Photography Tip

Its always a good idea to have a back up plan for a beach wedding just in case the worst happens and it pours with rain. At Sol Photography we have been shooting weddings on the Gold Coast for over 12 years so we have had to shoot in all sorts of conditions but sometimes there is just no way we can do the location outdoors as planned so think about your plan B if your planning an outdoor wedding.
