Wedding at Sirromet Winery, Mount Cotton

Georgia and Rowan first met at White Water World where they were both working as lifeguards.

When they first met, Rowan noticed that Georgia was easy going, confident, and totally unpretentious.

Georgia thought Rowan was a little mysterious. He kept his personal life to himself, and wasn’t on social media.

A few years later, when they began to spend time together outside of work with mutual friends, they realised that there was some chemistry between them. In front of the Wave Pool after work, Rowan asked Georgia out on a date.

The couple’s first date was to see Ocean Alley play at the iconic Tivoli. They shared their first kiss during the crescendo of Rowan’s favourite song, as confetti cannons showered the crowd. It was the perfect first date.

Fast forward to 2024, and the couple celebrated their decision to marry with a beautiful ceremony at Sirromet Winery, Mount Cotton. Amongst the rolling, green hills, wallabies, and lily filled lagoon, the couple said, "I do."

With music being important to the couple, they hired singer/guitarist, Jason, for both the ceremony and reception. As Georgia stepped out onto the aisle to walk towards Rowan, Jason sang a single word, "Georgia" which goosebumped each and every one of the guests. The Stephen Sanchez song was the perfect fit for such an entrance.

Georgia looked absolutely stunning in a long sleeved dress with a sheer, appliqued top and a plunging back. Her fair hair was swept into a simple and classic bun, and a long veil was fastened beneath this.

Her maid of honour, Joanna, wore a satin sage green dress, and both carried bouquets of bright natives featuring proteas.

Rowan and his brother looked dapper in 3 piece suits, shiny shoes, and bouttonieres.

We spent considerable time back and forth to create a script for the ceremony, with plenty of sentiment and a few laughs, and watching the video back, the tale of the couple's story reflected that investment.

Georgia wrote, "Your presentation style was exactly what we wanted and made the ceremony feel very true to who we are."

Thanks so much for sending some beautiful photos, Georgia and Rowan, I enjoyed reliving your joyous wedding day.

Married at Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton

Married at Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton

Jodee and Harry first met at high school, and started dating on the first September. Six years later, on the first of September 2024, the couple married at Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton.

Harry wore a pale blue checked jacket with a white shirt and chinos. His grandfather (what an adorable idea) and brother, as groomsmen, wore the matching blue checked trousers, with white shirts.

The totally cute flowergirls wore steel blue dresses, with Olivia scattering flower petals, and Darcie carrying a sign which read, “here comes Auntie Jodee”. Bridesmaid, Britt, also wore a steel blue, in a slinky fitted dress.

Jodee walked in to the ceremony space with both her mum and her dad. She wore a fitted dress with a lace plunging bodice and a fitted satin skirt. Her blond hair was in curls.

The ceremony arbour was constructed by tradie, Harry, and decorated with white flowers and green foliage.

Being an unseasonably warm day, the couple and their guests were glad of the shade on the deck at Rainforest Gardens. High atop Mount Cotton, the outlook was to the Bay and islands. As an added bonus, the freshly shorn Alpacas were roaming free on the hillside.

After their short and sweet ceremony, the couple mingled with guests and captured some memories with photographer, Jess.

Elope to Brisbane with 20 of your crew!

 Elope to Brisbane with 20 of your crew!

Gemma and Brad decided that they wanted something a little different for their wedding. They decided on Brisbane for their wedding destination, and as they live interstate, hired the team from Elope Brisbane to plan their ceremony for them.

The couple chose the Twenty is Plenty package, which includes celebrant, photographer, ceremony styling and cupcakes. They chose the Palm Tree Lawn at Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha for their ceremony, and were so glad of the shade and privacy provided by the lush foliage.

Gemma and Brad, and 24 of their closest friends and family, all flew to Brisbane for the destination wedding. They stayed at Royal on the Park in the centre of the city. Gemma and her bridesmaids, wearing terracotta, made their way to the Botanic Gardens after getting glammed up at their hotel. Waiting at the gardens were Brad and his groomsmen, wearing three piece black suits. The girls carried bouquets in a burnt orange palette. Emma walked down the path on the arm of her dad to "Turning Page" by Sleeping at Last. Gemma looked dainty in a simple white satin dress with a full train. A long veil was clipped underneath her bun.

The couple wanted a low-key, personalised and memorable ceremony, and we exchanged ideas to create a script which was exactly to their liking. The couple read their vows to each other off-mic in an intimate moment.

After the ceremony, the guests blew bubbles to celebrate the marriage, which also added a feature to the wedding photos. After some group and family photos, the bridal party took the opportunity for some fun shots around the gardens as the guests were transported by coach back to Brisbane city. Gemma and Brad took advantage of the varying landscapes in the gardens for some couple portraits, then were chauffeured to a riverside bar for drinks overlooking the city lights.

To top off the wedding celebrations, all the guests boarded a cruise ship the next day for a relaxing north Queensland tropical cruise. What an epic way to celebrate a wedding!

September Wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club

September wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club

After planning their wedding for months, Ashlee and Jack were disappointed when rain was forecast for their wedding day. Their venue, Redland Bay Golf Club, has a great backup ceremony option, where couples can have their ceremony on the covered deck of the golf club, with a view out over the golf course, but Ashlee and Jack were really hoping that their ceremony could be held on the lawn.

On the morning of their wedding, scattered showers swept over Brisbane, but luckily for them, Redland Bay remained dry, so their garden wedding could go ahead as planned.

Ashlee and her three bridesmaids, wearing terracotta coloured dresses, arrived at the venue, and were greeted by Chelsea, the functions coordinator. Chelsea ensured that all the bra straps were tucked in and bouquets were held low, then after signing a thumbs up to me to start the music, sent the bridesmaids down the path to the arbour. Ashlee followed them, looking just gorgeous, accompanied by her mum. Ashlee chose the song, “Crazier” an instrumental piece by Minnz Piano to walk down the aisle.

Jack was waiting at the arbour, supported by his twin brother and groomsmen. Ashlee said all her nerves flew away as soon as she was standing beside Jack, his hands holding hers throughout the ceremony.

After a short and sweet ceremony, and a group photo, photographer Richard accompanied the bridal party around the golf course on carts for a photo shoot while the weather was clear.

The couple enjoyed such a wonderful wedding day, I hope it was everything they had been looking forward to.

Ashlee left me a beautiful 5 star Google review: "Cheryl made everything so easy for us. Her warm and welcoming nature made us feel so comfortable in our meetings, on our rehearsal and on our wedding day. She always held professionalism, and was very helpful to any queries we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony and celebrant."
