Wedding aboard the MV Baroness on the Brisbane River

Wedding aboard the MV Baroness on the Brisbane River

Colleen and Dan wanted to do something a little unique for their wedding day, and chartered a cruiser boat on the Brisbane River for their Friday morning wedding.

The guests gathered at Murarrie, and boarded the vessel at 9:45 to allow for a safety briefing before we set off. Friends and family enjoyed the winter sunshine as we travelled down the Brisbane River, passing iconic Brisbane landmarks en route. The ceremony was held just off New Farm Park, and Colleen and Dan faced their guests under a circular arbour on the bow of the boat (look at me - all technical with the nautical terms!)

Colleen styled her jet black hair in a whimsical bun reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. Initially trying on a white dress, she ultimately decided on a corset bustier crafted from burgundy velvet with gold brocade. Complementing the corset was a magnificent shimmery full skirt with a thigh-high split and pockets, displaying shades of burgundy with one swish and royal blue with the next.

Dan, his groomsmen, and the bridesmaids all wore black.

The highlight of the ceremony was the personal vows written by Dan and Colleen, which reflected their journey and the blended family they have created.

As the cruiser approached the Story Bridge, photographer Amy climbed onto the top deck and captured a photo of the entire entourage as they cheered on the newlyweds kissing.

Luckily for me, there was no stop to disembark, and I enjoyed the remainder of the cruise with a sumptuous lunch, small glass of bubbles, and chatting to the interesting array of invitees under the June sun.

A magnificent day was had by all.

Wedding at Riverlife, Brisbane

Albany and Zach first met at the hospital where they were both working. As a barista in the coffee shop, Albany wondered if it was her coffee or her smile that kept Zach dropping by each morning. She didn’t have long to wonder, as after they were formally introduced by a matchmaking manager, Albany and Zach ventured out on their first date. Zach brought along biscuits which he had baked, which absolutely melted Albany’s heart. She excited told her mum that Zach might just be the “one”!

After many more hours spent together, Zach proposed at an evening out to watch the Nutcracker, and Albany ecstatically accepted. She walked down the aisle to music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. 
With most of her family overseas, Albany decided on a simple wedding ceremony for her wedding to Zach. They live-streamed the ceremony to family and friends back home.

The wedding ceremony was held on a fine Summer afternoon at Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park, beside the sparkling Brisbane River. Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry organised all the legal paperwork for the marriage, and, together with the couple, created a ceremony with a little sentiment and a little laughter. The moments were captured by photographer, Romana Saeheng, who then took the couple to some secluded little spots alongside the river for couple portraits.

Following the ceremony and photos, the couple joined their guests at the Riverlife pergola for drinks, dancing, and donuts, as the sun set over the cityscape.
