We love the chance to get to travel for weddings, it's a chance to explore and it really turns it into a adventure for us
Read MoreIntercontinental Wedding Photography Matthew & Emma
Waking up early in the morning, I realised it was overcast and rainy, because of these circumstances I sent Emma a quick message reassuring her, everything was going to be fine. with my years of experience shooting, I've come to understand that some of the best images taken/edited come from over cast days. This shown through soft light and dramatic skies.
It was such a pleasure being able to spend the day with Matthew & Emma, from the moment I walked into the Manor Suite at the Intercontinental which is where the bride was staying, I knew it was going to be a fun day. As Emma and the rest of the girls were smiling, laughing and having fun, this made my job easier as I can just capture the emotions rather then create them.
Matthew and the boys where getting ready down in the Federation Suite and Sunny was taking the images of their preparation. Its a great venue because everything you need is at the Intercontinental, There's always an extra plus when the venue itself has amazing features perfect for capturing these great images. The rooms are large and modern with lots of great window lighting, and the glass chapel is a great size and is great for Photography and Video. There are so many great photo locations with a pier, fountains, and the intercontinental building itself with so many more, Then add the Grange for the reception venue which is perfect with enough open space. All tables have spacious room and gives the audience a great view of the speeches, while bridal table on one side and then the dance floor on the other. There is great lighting and again it matches the feel of all the rooms.
The Gold Coast crew at J'adore Weddings really are lucky to be able to shoot at so many awesome venues like this, We had a great day with Matthew, Emma and the Bridal party the speeches where great and the dancing was wild!!
Hope you enjoy our selection of images that we feel tell the story of Matthew & Emma's Wedding day.

Peter & Despina Photography & Videography, Orthodox Church, Gold Coast
He was looking at her like she was the most perfect person he’d ever seen. The way his eyes gleamed as she smiled back at him with her bouquet resting to the side. it was a split second moment before the camera caught her eye again and our team member caught her attention. Still Peter didn’t mind, he sat down on one of the benches at Emerald Lakes on the gold coast in silence and beaming at her.
When starting our adventure on march the 12th 2016 the team at J’adore set out to create more magic. While doing both photo and video, we ventured to many locations on the gold coast, creating many diverse backdrops, quirky photos.
While two our of our team members joined Despina the bride to be, the other three members ventured to Ashmore to peter and his groomsmen. It’s always an eye opener, looking at the different customs people have on their wedding days.
Despina looked like she was glowing, and who wouldn’t be, after many years of committing yourself to a person you believe is the ‘one’, the day had finally come to cement their relationship. As we entered the venue where Despina was getting ready, we found all of the bridesmaids and herself in matching dresses. The same traditions were done with Despina, as her family members/ bridesmaids wished her good fortune with these quirky customs. when it was time to put on her dress, Despina’s strapless bridal gown clung to her her figure as the ruffles sashayed down to the ground creating a wave, this tied in with her corseted back. With a white and cream bouquet and her hair pinned up, no one could say she wasn’t beautiful. Adorning her gown, Despina picked fuchsia floor length gowns with the same colour of bouquet roses to complete her bridal theme look. Another quirky tradition that took place was Despina preparing her shoe as she littered the name of all her unmarried Bridesmaids. if the names get worn away by the end of the night, this shows who will be married soon themselves.
Peter wore a white suit with black pants and adorning his look with a pale pink boutonniere pinned to his tuxedo. Complimenting his look, his choice of groomsmen wore black tuxedo’s with white button up shirts. One of the most interesting customs, a red ribbon was tied around Peters neck, and a smokey object moved around his head in circles three times. This was a hopeful sign of good fortune to come as each member of Peter’s groomsmen took hold to do the same thing.
The ceremony was held at the Greek orthodox church. The church was beautifully done, with crystallised chandeliers that lit up the whole room. One of the main differences was the celestially hand painted ceilings which were comprised of vibrant colours that caught our camera’s eye. The first array of the bridal party slowly descended down the aisle as their floor length vibrant fuchsia dresses swung down the aisle to the front. You could see Peter tapping his foot as he looked, waiting for his bride. Seeing Despina come down the aisle for the first time, she was radiating joy, this was perfect for our crew as the lighting was just perfect in the church to quickly snap shots. Specific elements of the ceremony included there gowns, candles and the common cup. As two crowns are made by a single strand of ribbon, this symbolises two single individuals creating a union. The bride and Groom also hold candles during the ceremony, this symbolziers the light of christ.
The photo section was done in numerous locations ranging from Macintosh island to Emerald lakes. The bridal crew were more than helpful as we got out of our comfort zone and theirs to create more adventurous scenes. The park was like an oasis on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle that is Surfers paradise, this helped us achieve some great shots.From our member getting high up in the tree tops with both video and photo to our bridge scenes that lit up the fuchsia gowns, we decided we weren’t finished yet. The Emerald Lakes French Quater was our next location this is where dreams were made of encompassing classical french provision architecture admits the Surfers Paradise’s vibrant and never ending energy Consisting of three building and a staircase that resembled the Spanish steps, the best groups shots/scenes were made as Peter gently dipped his new bride smiling down at her. We’ve been lucky enough to shoot at emerald lakes before, attuned with the lighting and techniques needing to create the best images, our crew took Peter and Despina aside eventually over to the board water to create more intimate moments that consisted of portrait shots just before the sun went down.
Our next location was the reception, to which was held at the Parkwood/Arundel Community Centre. The reception was simple yet collaborated Despina and Peter’s chosen colours, white and pink to perfectly create a vibrant energy. This was great for our videographers and camera men, as we always love playing around the lighting and testing our limits. Their was two seperate long tables that sat on opposite ends with a wide open dance floor in the middle that was efficiently used towards the end of the night.
When looking back at Despina and Peters first dance, it was filled full with laughter as the lights dimmed perfectly for our members to create an intimate scene. More traditions were brought forth to our visions as 'The Money Dance' was taking place with both the groom and bride together, to which we had not previously experienced yet. The money dance is done to give the couple a little extra cash for their honeymoon. In retrospective this custom has different views in each country ranging from Ukraine, Poland and Greece. Traditionally the Greek money dance is held right before the couple leave the reception. The maid of honour is responsible for collecting and safeguarding the cash the couple makes. One of the other traditions consisted of the 'Kalamationos dance’. This is done dancing to traditional rhythmic music, as everyone at the reception moved holding hands, and rooting in a counter-clockwise direction, this opened our crews eyes up more to the cultural notions across the world.
We always love being pulled out of our comfort zone and putting ourselves in a situation that isn’t accustomed to our day to day lives. This is why we love being apart of every different type of wedding. Peter and Despina kept us laughing the whole day, from the start right to the end of the reception as Peter held his fist up in Rocky formation leaving the venue. We hoped we made their day just as enjoyable as it was for us.
Tugun Surf Life Saving Club Waves, Wedding Venue.
On March the 10th 2016 main Videographer/ Photographer of J'adore Rob Bampton and I ventured to Tugun to help shoot at the Surf club. The afternoon was setting out to be a great day with the perfect weather backing up our excitement for the next shoot. Turning up to our Mock shoot, the theme was Modern beach with a fashion forward that HollyRose Couture is all about. Taya Jones, shows her vivid and creative imagination by creating these timeless pieces of couture set at reasonable prices
I've always loved the feel of lace on my skin, it's something exquisite about the texture. I believe with the right theme and style, it can make any women feel beautiful.One of the very first gowns our model was dressed in, was 'The Rebecca Gown'. With the hidden zip and button detail, The Rebecca is a multi design dress, thus meaning you have the ability, to select a fully lined in Sheer, white or Ivory gown. If you’re wanting to substitute the fully lined style for a bohemian look, ‘The Rebecca gown’ comes with matching lingerie to complete the fashion forward look. Just to make things a little more unique, the gown shows off the models bone structure with the shoe string halter and the segmented back.
Brand owner of Holly Rose Couture, Taya Jones got a little more creative, by collaborating to clothing pieces together and looking at the finishing image it was a perfect ensemble. The Belladonna corset has complex lace details on the mesh corset that’s all hand stitched. Complete with a string lace corset back, this beautiful corset caters to any range of shapes and curves for those brides wanting to go strapless on their big day. The Belladonna corset comes in the options of complete sheer (as shown), Faux Sheer, or lined. Adding to the Belladonna corset, the Je T’aime skirt is a full 10 layer tulle skirt. With the dreamy romantic feel of the silk satin lining and satin bow back. The beautiful pulled skirt is light and easy to wear, it’s perfect for any Rose separates.
One of the last gowns our model tried was the The Yassirra Ballgown. Looking at this beautiful dress, it is the picturesque form of a dream gown. The fitted stretch fabric of the bodice, allows for the precise fit, to all shapes and curves as it is available with both a hidden zipper with bridal button back or corset lace up. When inspecting the bodice of the gown, the hand finished lace detailing with the rose lace finish arm bands complete this sweetheart dress. The Yassirra is one of HollyRose Couture fuller tulle ballgowns, perfect for any princess with its 10 layers of tulle.

Daniel & Lynette's engagement party.
We started off at Marina Mirage. As the years go on, couples are getting more and more creative in ways to making their special days something unique with these personal touches. Located just minutes away from the heart of the Gold coast, Daniel took the reigns and provided a fun experience at Heli tours. This services caters to scenic flights across the region’s hinterland, beaches and attractions that show the best of the Gold coast.
The adventure continued as the team made it's way to the Hope island Links Golf Course. There we were able to catch the last bit, both on photo and video of the couples decent before the festivities started. Surrounded by Hope islands exquisite waterways, a red carpet adorned the wooden archway with white curtains at the beginning of the entrance. All of Daniel and Lynette's loved ones had arrived previously preparing to see the couples introduction, and were waiting with excitement.
The themed planning of the reception was exquisitely done with in depth detail down to the red rose petals spread throughout the reception . As both the chairs and tables were draped with white cloths, simple yet sophisticated blood red ribbons were tied around. As a closer look was taken around the reception colours of silver, red and white dominated the atmosphere creating an intimate and serene touch, this perfectly complemented these two joyful personalities.
Lynette started her own personal theme with silver tear shaped earrings perfectly complementing her long curled hair. To match the look, a deep red floor length gown, smokey eyes and diamante high heels collaborated perfectly with Daniels red themed tie comprised behind his black suit. The couple had so many photo ideas, from the quirky moments to the intimate still moments that no doubt you will look back on, their album will be full of variety.
Throughout the speeches, naturally their were tears and of course laughter. The foremost thing about having videographers at these precious occasions is so their is a physical memory you can look back on with the people you love. It's the endearing stories that Sharma & Pawelek families have to share on these two that shouldn't be missed. From the sly jokes that not many people know about until it's too late, to giving the mic to a friend as they share what makes the couple so important to them; engagement parties while not so popular is a perfect start to the rest of your lives.
One of the unique ideas about Daniel and Lynette's engagement party was the choreographed dance items presented. Comparing the Bollywood style specially made for this occasion, and the traditional Polynesian dance items, your attention is instantly captured by their vibrant costumes, perfectly synced moves and dance style.
Getting the joy of comprising a physical memory for Daniel and Lynette was quite the fun journey in itself. Being able to shoot these two individual people as they joined together was a wonderful experience. What was more relishing was being apart of an afternoon with this couple that is completely infatuated with the other for completely understandable reasons.
An engagement party shoot is the perfect way to kick things off with a physical memory you'll have forever on top of your own wedding video/photos in the Future. Check out the images/video below and write to us on what you think about this engagement party, With so many experiences happening this jam packed video is a brief look in as to how much fun the night was.

Abbey Cobaki- Scott & Sarah Reading
It’s that evident thing about love, the way it wraps you in its grasp, the tangible feeling of not wanting to let go even if you could. We all are destined to find our other halves, a particular part of us that we tirelessly search the world for. To have someone that was under your nose the whole time, it's a rare experience alone. Childhood friends, and now two people that want to spend the rest of their lives together. I don’t know what could be more captivating.
The J’adore team consisting of Rob, Jessica and myself found ourselves at one of the bride’s maids house. Family had gathered around to prepare for Sarah’s finishing touches, while also corroborating their own little twin pre dress outfits.
After we managed to accrue a few pre wedding shots, it was time for Sarah to put on her dress. With a mesh back incrusted with jewels that collaborated with embodied jewels on the front of her bodice. Her hair was pinned up in a bun with small curls intricately framing the sides of her face. The bridal party accentuated Sarah’s princess themed attire with navy blue, bodice floor length gowns.
Located 12 minutes away from Coolanagatta and Tweed Heads, The Abbey Cobaki creates something diverse and new to exceed expectations. The romantic chapel is located on the rivers edge, with a fountain clear in its backdrop. The Abbey Cobaki offers a offer various food, and beverage packages to cater for a wide selection of tastes and budgets to any value.
As Sarah descended down the aisle, it was evidently clear as to why Scott picked her as his person. Sarah had one of those infectious smiles on her face as she grasped her pale pink and white bouquet to her chest. One of the best parts about the start of ceremonies is watching the Grooms reaction as he finally see’s his soon to be wife, it was all worth it as Scott managed to get a little tear; not even he could hide the tears from the cameras as Sarah in all her glory was right infront front of him.
The photo section was like no other, as a team we always like to provide our clients with new and anomalous memories. Sarah and Scott Reading wanted to put their own twist on their day as golf balls played a special part in these adventurous photos. From the Groom and his men goofing around with one and another to Sarah and her party playing the ‘colour game’, it was infectious the laughter with this fun crew.
Upon reaching the reception, the fantastic part about Abbey Cobaki is the picturesque outdoor areas that look out over the hills. The venue opens up into a refurbished and rustic style experience with both Scott and Sarah, putting their own finishing touches in the room. From the little memory board of the many adventurous encountered to the personalised notes you could provide from the party.
One of my favourite parts about being apart of weddings, is gaining a third persons perspective on the day. Being apart of Sarah and Scott’s biggest day was a journey in itself. With each wedding we gain a new perspective on love, and where people met and how they came about finding this path. To go from the ‘Friend zone’ as Scott clearly put it in his earlier years with Sarah.

Maliheh & Mahdi Hosseini's wedding film and photography
On the 4th of October 2015 J'adore had the enjoyment of shooting a traditional Afghan wedding. Cultural weddings are always an experience to shoot as it gives us an appreciation for the cultural values the world has to offer.
Towards the afternoon the team travelled to Beenleigh to shoot the soon to be bride and groom preparing for their exciting adventures ahead. As the bride couldn't be exposed to the other men aside from her husband, Jess the photographer and I rose to the challenge of creating a timeless scene in the brides bedroom. Maliheh accentuated her strapless bridal gown with a silver cape she draped over herself.
Mahdi Seeing Maliheh for the first time was an experience to capture on both video and camera. To visually see his eyes widen as he took in his beautiful bride was a remarkable time to capture such an intimate moment.
Broadbeach at the Marina Mirage was our next location as we travelled back to the gold coast to shoot an exciting moment. The best thing about being apart of the team, is the new and exciting opportunities always coming up. J'adore rose to the challenge when asked to film/ photograph the pair taking off on the Gold coast helitours.
Before the party ventured back to the reception, candid shots were taken of Maliheh and Mahdi embracing each other along the pier. Between making sure no male saw her exposed skin with the silver cape off to switching up the photo/ video is was a busy afternoon as the sun was setting down, creating the most intimate and personal moments.
The reception at the Beenleigh convention centre was intense as Jess and I battled to catch every moment. We had our work cut out for us as by custom the males and females were segregated. Everyone was dressed in the most colourful schemes as they all traditionally danced without their hijab's on; because of this we understood their need to not be captured.
By the time the team of four arrived. The girls arrived, the festivities were ready to begin. The night started by traditional thankyou's and blessing's on the girls side as Maliheh settled down in the traditional seat 'the Kosha' (two seats in front of the guests). The crowd rose from their chairs and throughout the night said their prayers for a prosperous future in wake for both Maliheh and Mahdi.
It was a challenge for the J'adore team, as one photographer and videographer each had to be on separate sides for the traditional occasion. Still we rose to the challenge and followed the cultural ways. It's always fun being able to be apart of a different and cultural wedding with traditions that aren't usually captured.
The night was filled with more traditions as the money dance was conducted, this followed through with a conventional Arabic dinner.
As the material was tied around both Maliheh and Mahdi waist, capturing that moment was an experience. The wedding was winding down and it was cementing in that Maliheh and Mahdi would begin their lives as husband and wife. Their were brief moments as they tied around their waists where they couldn't stop looking at each other, too inwrapped with these small enriching moments to notice the sea of guests surrounding them with joy.
Chantal & Ricky's wedding photography
Every wedding has certain elements to obtaining the perfect day. whether it be traditional or casual, every small aspect plays a part in one of the most important days of your life. On October the 2nd 2015 J'adore had the Privilege of shooting in the heart of the Gold coast hinterland of Mudgeeraba at Boomerang farm. The wedding venue features a fully furnished vintage style barn with an old rustic theme that perfectly complimented the two personalities that were Ricky and Chantal.
Before the ceremony J'adore travelled to Broadbeach to shoot the bride getting primed with her wedding party. Between three photographers Chantal's Bohemian Bridal composition came to life as she flawlessly accentuated her vintage styled lace wedding dress, with babies breath and lavender flowers. It was a beautiful day outside, so we were able to capture exquisite and sentimental moments of the Chantal's father seeing her for the first time. Chantal's bridesmaids collaborated her bohemian theme with knee length lace dresses and simple yet sophisticated flats.
The ceremony was positioned out in the natural light. Beyond the deck and passed the gully laid a remote treehouse. It created the perfect setting out under the tree top canopies as Chantal and Ricky made their vows surrounded by the natural elements.
The Boomerang farm has some exquisite spots for photos. The wedding group gathered with us to capture memorable moments as we toured the many areas. From the entrance way between two ponds the light was perfect for seizing some great photo's. The bridesmaids felt a little spontaneous as they were adamant on getting the rustic theme photo in the shed. It was a fun filled afternoon catching the hilarious group as they shared jokes in between with gleeful appearances.
As the sun was starting to go down, we decided to take Chantal and Ricky away to the venues most intimate spots. From out in the open on one of the holes of the golf course, to the visually beautiful tunnel under the tree top canopies.
The reception was glistening with fairy lights that hung along the ceiling. Small vases of babies breath flowers were situated around the venue. Drinks were poured around as delicious salads and wood fired pizzas by Crusta Woodfired were delivered throughout the night.
By nightfall it was time for Chantal and Ricky to take their first step together as husband and wife on the dance floor. The upbeat sound of Riptide written by Vance Joy surrounded the outdoor dance floor. The drums were beating, and it seemed like they were in their own world of pure bliss as they laughed, it was such an enriching moment to capture as these two carefree souls came together to create something special.
Capturing Chantal and Ricky was more than pleasure. Their vibrant and laid back nature let the J'adore team create something sentimental. Capturing two people coming together on one of the most important days of their lives is more than a job. We are experiencing a day where family and friends gather to join in on a blissful encounter.
Nicole & Brett's Wedding Photography
Finding a love like Nicole and Brett is hard. Marriage requires commitment and honesty, we were able to capture this through this hilarious family. On the day of the rehearsal we officially met the charming couple. I instantly took a liking to their fun and loving filled nature. After we went over the finer details, Nicole and Brett left to attend to their adorable baby boy Harrison.
Everything was slowly setting in motion. When the time came the J'adore crew made it to Royal on the park in Brisbane. It was here that we were able to capture the Groom, groomsmen and his family sitting around and talking about 'The good old times' with a couple of beers. Brett's family was a pleasure to shoot, they kept me laughing and we were able to obtain some spectacular shots. I could see where Brett got his humour from as towards the end comedic jokes were being thrown around by the grooms mum. It turns out playing the spoons at her sons wedding was on her agenda.
The Stamford Plaza was yet another adventurous location. Upon getting their we were pleased to note that Bride had a brides 'man of honour' in the bridal party. It's always a pleasure capturing couples that set a different trend with their wedding and excitingly the 'man of honour' is becoming all the poor popular. It was infectious the happiness that surrounded us, this engaged my further to move Nicole into some positions for the photos. Their were a few different personalities we encountered at the brides location, alongside her bridesmaids Layla and Nia were wearing floor length dresses to accentuate Nicole's timeless look. The hair and makeup stylists from 'The Powder Room' did a superb job as her bouquet from The Lynch flower market collaborated well. When it was finally time to leave Nicole's single life in the past, the Somerton Limousines pulled up to get the party started
The Cathedral of St Stephen in central Brisbane was where the ceremony was held. Built of limestone, the cathedral reaches 107 metres long with the longest isle. Capturing moments in such a beautiful church was a surreal experience for me. From the high roof tops to the enormous windows that reflected down to help create the perfect light.
Brisbane is full of a wide variety of close and intimate places. After the ceremony, I requited the family and bridal party to the Royal Botanic gardens to start the photo section. Ironically enough we had to battle to get the best locations as we were not the only bridal party. Still we managed to snag the stamford plaza stair case. Nicole and Brett never ceased to not have a genuine smile on their faces throughout the whole ordeal. Even while there was also a wedding going on at the time; it was full filling to know two different groups of people with different themes could co-exist happily. one of the most hilarious moments throughout this though was where the groomsmen were star troopers, fun and comedic one liners were used such as " these are not the droids you were looking for".
We then decided to change sceneries to Eagle street. The Pier is an iconic waterfront precinct that showcased the beautiful views of the Brisbane River and story bridge. This exquisite setting allowed me to capture the couple along the water as the sun was setting in the sky.
The J'adore team travelled next door from the gardens to the reception at Restaurant 2. The food was amazing, the ambiance was in focus was the twinkly lights. best man made a funny pun " thanks for restaurant 2 being available after restaurant one wasn't everyone was busting out the jokes. Some great music was filling their atmosphere by Ronnie Walker.
Nicole and Brett's lavish wedding was proudly correlated with a three tear cake spread with white chocolate, caramel fudge and dark chocolate with peanut butter fudge. This expensive cake not only looked exquisite but tasted just as warm and comforting. It's always such an enjoyable experience being able to see new and different theme's. Following the cake cutting, the bouquet toss was commencing, luck was on the bridesmans side as his stunning girlfriend caught the flowers in mid action with a gleaming smile. It was plainly obvious he was exceptionally proud and nobody needed to tell him that he had to lock her down. Unfortunately as the night was looming to a close, there were few regrets, one being the mother of the groom not getting the chance to play the spoons, still the night went perfectly. The team managed to get some great shots with an amazing setting and people to help capture a beautiful moment.
