Sanctuary Cove wedding Chapel
Nick and Lydia first meet at UQ University approximately 10 years ago now, both studying to be an accountant. It was during this time that they became close, and ultimately developing a beautiful relationship with one another. Over the years, they both had traveled for work and at the end of every day, they still had a loving, caring relationship just like they did the day before.
Read MoreThe Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove is always a beautiful place to head for a wedding and we were very excited about William & Elenas Wedding, We where doing Photo & Video as well as our Photobooth for them with our 6-hour package which meant not covering the getting ready process and starting at the ceremony.
Read MoreMeeting with Dean & Laicey for our pre wedding catch up, we meet at her hair dressers with a glass of champagne & a platter filled with cheese. What an awesome meeting I thought!! When I meet them both they were easy going & such lovely people to be around.
We went over some of the finer details for their wedding which was only just around the corner. Planning to have only a small intimate wedding in Sanctuary Cove, it was clear that this day was going to be just as cruisey as these two were.
Read MoreWhen I walked in the door at Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove into nicks room I had already started copping slack about my driving and I knew this was going to be my kind of wedding, I got along with this group from the get go and as soon as they knew I could dish it as well as they could they knew they had picked the right girl to shoot their wedding.
Read MoreWeddings really have changed a lot over the last 20 years look at back my parents wedding photos and video and most from this era. They all seem to be very similar but with different people. I love that the weddings of today are a reflection of the couple and also friends and family. Russ & Tiare had such a great mix of tradition with different cultures and dances. It was a very fun day for all invloved which I also think reflects our couple. The way they look at each other tells the other side of the story the passion and love deep with in there eyes.
My name is Rob and I was lucky enough to have been part of the J'adore team for the day. The venue for the day is one of my favorites the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove which is on the Gold Coast. It is such a great all in one venue with great accommodation, ceremony, photos and reception options. The morning went very smooth with both the bride are grooms preparation being covered with photo and video. The ceremony was then at the glass chapel which is almost a famous landmark on the Gold Coast. I love ceremonies because it's one of the only days men are expected and allowed to get emotional and Russ didn't disappoint when Tiare reached the end of the isle arm in arm with her father. I really do love these moments and generally end up shedding a tear or 2 myself as it's beautiful to see love at its purest moments.
After the ceremony we took the opportunity to wonder around the Intercontinental grounds with the ocean, gardens and water features there is a great selection of options to work with. I will let you be the judge as you view the selection of images we have included as our story images in the blog.
The reception venue was at The Grange. Such a great spot as you can see everything from anywhere in the room. So speeches and dance etc gives everybody a front row seat as previously mentioned the reception was a lot of fun with some dancers who got the crowd involved. Once the formalities where over it seemed like the whole group hit the dance floor. It was a great atmosphere. We received a great response from Russ & Tiare when we sent them there wedding video and images, it really does mean so much when we get amazing feedback from our clients. We hope you enjoy aswell. I would love to hear some of your feedback aswell.
Chat to you all soon
