Pineapples & Pearls Wedding Elopement Inspiration at Kooroomba Lavender Farm in the Scenic Rim, Australia

We love a quirky wedding! We love the Scenic Rim, too. Combining these two - quirkiness & location - proved to be the perfect blend. Thanks to the lovely models and all vendors involved, this little pineapple and pearl dream came to life. Enjoy!

Brisbane Elopements & Micro Weddings

Are you planning an elopement or micro wedding in 2022 or 2023?

Due to the current pandemic, in association with increasing interest in/demand for elopement and micro wedding packages, we are offering the following (all include one photographer only and up to 20 guests):

1 hour of coverage // $550

2 hours of coverage // $950

3 hours of coverage // $1350

4 hours of coverage // $1600

All weddings requiring 5 hours or more of coverage remain at $550 per hour and include 2 photographers (from $2750).

During these crazy times, it only seemed fair to meet our couples where they are at: feeling stressed out making big decisions and wanting to keep celebrations small for now. The big occasions can wait for better, brighter days when we can all be reunited again. Sending support to everyone going through the anxiety that is planning a wedding during a pandemic. Here to make life as easy as possible for you! We are fully vaccinated.

Engagement :: M&K <3

Lovely Kate & Matthew <3

One of the most enjoyable parts of our job is hearing the stories behind the couples. It is really sweet when they each tell you about the other person. One of the things that Matthew told me about Kate is that she loves greenery/nature 🌿 so we had their engagement shoot at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens; we got plenty of shots with green in them and some from the bonsai section of the garden. After delivery, we shared some images on Instagram and discovered that we have a mutual friend! Nice when the world is small.

Wedding: J+S <3 (Brookfield)

Lovely Suzie & John <3

We met up with S&J at South Bank Pirate Park (not sure of the official name for the park but this is how we refer to it; it is currently the Creative Director’s favourite place to hone new gymnastic skills). :)

We locked in the date and they had dreams of going to Italy for their honeymoon.

Covid happened.

S&J decided to postpone till the next year. So we did. No problem.

It was a perfect day. S&J were surrounded by friends and family and packed a lot into a few hours. They had the best attitude about the change of plans and really embraced the season in life.

A family member owns the stunning Hamptons style home and it was the best location for S&J’s intimate nuptials. A lot of collective work had gone into renovating the home during the year of postponement.

In every gallery we send out, we provide more colour images than black & white ones. Suzie & John’s wedding gallery was no different. As I (Em) was putting together the blog post, I found myself more drawn to the b&w images. For me, the b&w allow the details and emotions from the day to shine through with little to no distraction. The day was classic (black and white the theme of the wedding party) and that seems to really shine through with the grayscale set.

Here is the lovely feedback we received from S&J:

"We've been through the photos and we're so incredibly happy. There are so many amazing shots so we'll enjoy looking through them again and again and deciding which we'll have printed to see on our walls every day. Thank you again so much; we're so happy we had the two of you there and how perfectly you captured everything."

Enjoy!
