Anybody who follows this blog knows I love taking photos of shoes…And I think Lacey’s are particularly adorable – and practical!

The ceremony was held at an amazing venue called Jimbour House, just outside of Dalby.  I can’t believe I’d never heard of it before. It’s gorgeous, elegant and has beautiful gardens. There were so many places to photograph – including an airstrip. Brides -  if you want a country wedding with class – this is the place to go!

I couldn’t resist getting a photo of Chas and his groomsmen in front of Jimbour House. They look like they mean business!

Chas was cool, calm and collected.

On the way to the reception, we stopped in this fantastic sorghum field for a few photos before the light faded. So glad we stopped.

The centrepiece of the children’s table featured a vase full of lollipops and jellybeans. Awesome idea.

Nicky and Simon: Toowoomba wedding photography

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Simon and Nicky for the first time at their engagement session. Simon – in an incredibly romantic gesture – pulled out his guitar and started serenading his gorgeous fiance in a park. I didn’t think he could impress me any further…but I was wrong.  For the ultimate Christmas gift, Simon made Nicky his wife last weekend. Theirs was a sweet, charming wedding full of colour and personality and it was wonderful to see two people so in love make a lifetime commitment to one another. Congratulations Nicky and Simon – I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in New Zealand.

Wedding details:

Ceremony: Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Toowoomba
Reception: Groom Park Hall, Toowoomba
Bridal bouquets and button holes: Handmade by the bride
Hair: Lauren Hood
Makeup: Danielle Schroeders
Cake:Melissa Smith

I loved all of the colour in this wedding. So bright and cheerful.
