Catherine and Mark’s Intimate Raby Bay Wedding

Catherine and Mark chose the garden of Catherine’s parents’ Raby Bay home for a relaxed ceremony overlooking the canal. With only their closest family and friends gathered on the deck, the setting felt private, personal and completely at home by the water.

Chairs were arranged on the deck, giving guests a gorgeous view across the canal. Rather than making separate entrances, Catherine and Mark walked out together to "I Found My Forever" by Nezzara—a fitting choice that perfectly reflected the sense of partnership at the heart of their day.

Mark looked smart in a charcoal suit paired with a duck-egg blue shirt. Catherine was stunning in a full-length navy-blue, off-the-shoulder dress finished with soft shoulder ruffles. Her curled hair was swept up and secured with a gold-and-pearl clip, adding a delicate finishing touch to her elegant look.

One of the most meaningful moments of the ceremony came when Catherine and Mark shared the beautiful vows they had written for each other. They stood before a treasured family heirloom: a white wrought-iron heart, skilfully crafted by a clever uncle. More than a striking ceremony backdrop, the heart brought family history and personal significance into the centre of the celebration.

Catherine poured her creativity into countless personal touches for the day. From customised stubby holders and water bottles to individual chair name tags and a welcoming entrance sign, every detail helped make the celebration feel unmistakably theirs.

After the celebration and some photos, the group headed to Fiction Bar at Raby Bay to celebrate.

Alana & Jeremy’s Redland Bay Wedding

 Alana and Jeremy knew how they wanted their wedding ceremony to feel: short and sweet, fun and completely relaxed. Set in the lovely surrounds of Redland Bay Golf Club, their celebration was filled with soft colour, family and personality.

Alana brought the ceremony styling together in beautiful hues of pale pink. The details complemented the easy-going atmosphere, creating an elegant setting while keeping the focus on the couple and their family.

Jeremy waited beneath the arbour as their daughters made their way down the aisle, looking gorgeous in white. Maid of honour Monique, in dusty rose, assisted them enabling Alana to focus on being a bride for the day.

Then came Alana, floating down the aisle in a fitted white satin dress and a long veil edged in delicate lace. Her brother Jarred proudly escorted her—and, unlike at the previous day’s rehearsal, was very sensible indeed!

Heartfelt without being formal, full of fun and wonderfully relaxed, the ceremony was a beautiful reflection of the life Alana and Jeremy have created together.

After saying “I do,” the newlyweds walked back down the aisle. Right on cue, confetti cannons erupted around them—a spectacular burst of celebration to end their short, sweet ceremony.

Congratulations, Alana and Jeremy. Your Redland Bay Golf Club wedding was elegant, joyful and unmistakably yours.

Lisa and Steve’s Family-Filled Wedding at Sure Thing Chapel: Dusty pink details, cool comfort and a beautiful gathering of generations

Lisa and Steve celebrated their wedding at Sure Thing Chapel with a day that felt relaxed and wonderfully personal. With rain predicted, everyone was glad to gather indoors, where the chapel’s air conditioning kept guests cool and comfortable throughout the celebration.

Second time around, bride Lisa wore a beautiful pink dress, while Steve looked sharp in a classic suit. Their wedding party complemented them perfectly: the bridesmaids wore neutral linen pants with cream-coloured tops, and the groomsmen were smartly dressed in suits.

The floral styling tied the entire look together. Dried flowers in dusty pink and neutral tones featured in the bouquets, boutonnières and chapel décor, creating a soft, romantic palette that suited the intimate setting beautifully.

At the heart of the wedding was family. Lisa and Steve were surrounded by their children and their children’s partners, as well as ten grandchildren. Having so many loved ones together made the ceremony more than a wedding—it was a celebration of the life and family they have built.

With everyone dressed up and looking their best, it was the perfect opportunity to capture plenty of photographs. From portraits of Lisa and Steve to group photos spanning the generations, the images preserved the warmth, connection and happiness of the day.

 Set against the lovely surrounds of Redland Bay Golf Club, Yasmyn and Brett’s wedding was a relaxed and genuine celebration filled with family, laughter and heartfelt moments.

Brett waited beneath the arbour in a black suit and lilac tie, joined by two of his brothers as groomsmen. Sean, the flower guy, made an unforgettable entrance, dancing as he scattered petals and drawing huge cheers from the guests.

The couple’s two daughters followed in white, with bridesmaid Chantel in lilac. Yasmyn then arrived in a beautiful white beaded dress, approaching on the arm of Brett’s dad before her mum escorted her to the front—a touching entrance shared with two special family members.

The ceremony was warm, effortless and unmistakably theirs, creating memories they will treasure for years to come.
