Sand Ceremony

This visual symbol can be included in your marriage ceremony. The bride and groom each have a different colour sand, which they combine in a central vase. In this photo, the bride's son and the groom's daughter also added pastel coloured grains of sand to unite their family.

Indigiscapes Baby Naming Ceremony


The gardens at Indigiscapes, Capalaba, may be hired for wedding ceremonies, renewal of vows, or baby naming ceremonies. Catering is available from their tea room. The bush provided a lovely backdrop for Brock's baby naming today. A baby naming ceremony is a chance to welcome a baby into the family, without requiring promises to a particular religion.

Contact Cheryl at ido@cherylwedding.com for a baby naming ceremony in Capalaba.

Helen and David

Looking relaxed after their ceremony, Helen & David were glad of the blue skies for their day. Their photographer, Liming, set up this shot, & I snapped a quick photo over his shoulder with my little digital camera. Can't wait to see the professional photos.

Natasha & Michael

A chance to dress up in 1920's gangster theme,
with all the bridal party and guests donning black and white.
The photographs should be striking.
