Summergrove Estate, Ben & Kylie's Wedding Photography & Video

Hi everybody Rob Bampton here thanks for taking a few moments to read J'adore Weddings blog. Today I will be walking you through my experience with Ben & Kylie at Summergrove Estate. J'adore was recommended to Ben by a mutual friend & from there we had decided to meet up for coffee. To me that is a good sign when the client wants to meet up it's clear that they value their wedding photography & video, this is also an important part of building that relationship we so often talk about.

Braeside Chapel, Chris & Jessica - Gold Coast Wedding Videography

in

We were excited to begin shooting today with a six hour wedding videography package ahead of the team at Braeside chapel on the Gold Coast. We were quite familiar with the venue & locations around the area as this is one of the most popular wedding venues on the gold coast.  The team was also keen to be able to shoot at Emerald Lakes for the photo section, this location featuring the popular French quarter that makes for exquisite footage.

As we previously met up with Chris & Jessica to discuss how they wanted their video to be portrayed, we felt the glamorous touch was right up our alley. We were very confident in knowing we are more than capable enough to achieve that feel.

On entering Braeside's beautiful grounds, it gives you a magical feeling filled with nostalgia from a bygone era. Vintage cliché meets breathtaking opulence with modern elegance & tranquillity. We had no time to spare though as we quickly set up the tripods in ready for our stunning bride’s arrival.

As Jessica turned up in her white limousine, she looked absolutely radiant in her wedding gown as her hair was tightly pinned up whilst also having a few wisps framing her face. Chris was going to be be awe!! We always love seeing our groom’s reactions, being able to capture that truly priceless moment on camera where they can both look back at is always one of the best parts of the job. Providing endless moments for our couples to reminisce the beautiful day they became husband & wife.

After the ceremony was conducted, we zipped straight over to Emerald Lakes conveniently also located on the Gold Coast & not far away from Merrimac where Braeside is located. The French Quarter is a beautiful picturesque location providing many European looks that helped us create some perfect moments.

As we skipped ahead to the reception, we were excited to see how both Chris & Jessica met, we are never disappointed with a story.  Another favourite part of the day is the speeches, as we get to know a lot more about the couple, & who they are as people. When Chris came up to the stage, he brought forth an AMAZING speech that had tears in our eyes. From going on about those cute furniture hunting moments, to how Jessica makes Chris feel on a daily basis, we could tell how much these two truly meant to each other. We can't wait to see how this couple turns out, and what the future has to offer them!

Adelaide Wedding Photography & Wedding Videography Kaden & Amy

Hi all, thank you for reading our the latest blog. My name is Rob and I am the head Videographer here at J'adore Weddings. For this adventure we are of to one of my favourite places Adelaide. I enjoyed getting to know Kaden & Amy a prior to wedding and when we arrived on the day it was all smiles and great atmosphere. It was easy to see how much this meant to both our Bride & Groom as well as their families. With storms in the area during the lead up to the wedding we where worried about the day but it was perfect with the only downfall being the down had been lost at the ceremony location which meant the no air-conditioning but nothing was going to stop these guys from enjoying their special day. 

After the ceremony we went to the Adelaide Botanical Gardens and got some images and video, this venue seems to be a bit of a hot spot for weddings and I can see why as there is just so much variety, lots of different greens and browns from the assortment of trees and shrubs aswell as plenty of colour with flowers and different themes, also some beautiful lakes. 

LakeLands Golf Course, Cameron & Demi - Gold Coast Wedding Videography Package

in

With a couple of locations ahead of us throughout the 6-hour wedding package we were excited to get things rolling. First starting with the ceremony held at Braeside wedding chapel, which features a signature century old Camphor Laurel tree with garlanded swing for two, gaming area & sweeping lawns to Gin House Creek. For that rustic feel there is a giant Southern Cross windmill beside the chook mansion, home to purebred chickens. Overlooking this is the Old Shed Bar creating that extra special for pre-reception canapés & drinks.

We had a big bridal party & a massive crowd to fill the chapel so with three tripods set up and another camera set to capture the extra details, the team was well prepared for the day ahead. As Demi started walking down the aisle, you could tell Cameron was awe struck, as this was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with; this kind of love, while hard to find, it's so wonderful to see & capture for the couple and their family to see. 

The ceremony was extra special, this one in particular was a sand ceremony. Taking place after the celebrant announced them as husband & wife, this quirky & unique idea’s for ceremonies really do make it that much more special. We were also catered to a song which was sung by Demi's sister, to which was AMAZING!!! 

Skipping forward to the photo section at the Lakelands Gold Course.  They had multiple function rooms available within the clubhouse to suit any event large or small, featuring floor to ceiling windows with a versatile yet stylish design. Also featuring fresh garden outlook with lake views & your guests can enjoy the outdoors with direct access to their wrap-around terrace overlooking peaceful lakes and lush greens fronting the Broadbeach skyline. 

This was the perfection place for a big bridal party along with the photo section as it provided multiple locations with different sceneries to help capture the different moments. This bridal party was especially fun to work with, as their upbeat fun attitude gave as an equally as good feel throughout the whole day, this also provided AMAZING footage, capturing ALL THE MOMENTS! from the awkward, to the funny & cute. 

As we neared to the reception, the whole function room was catered with the best of everything, & as the crowd started to pour in the letter box started to fill up more, everyone was awaiting the appearance of the newly married couple. This was met with a roar upon the opening of the doors.

Such a positive atmosphere left the night filled with great footage! As no one was afraid to get out on the dance floor & have a bit of a jiggy. We also got to learn some funny things in the speeches about both Cameron & Demi. This was such a good wedding, & we can't wait to see what this couple achieves in their life together as husband & wife!

Cedar Creek Estate, Bryn and Sophie's - Gold Coast Wedding Videography

We were extremely lucky to not only get to be apart of a videography engagement shoot with Bryn & Sophie, but also being apart of their AMAZING wedding at Cedar Creek estate completed this wonderful experience for us here at J’adore. Also offering engagement photos & videos we believe this to be a great way to interact & get to know our clients better whilst forming a good bond before the big day. After previously doing a close friends wedding in 2016, we were very excited to see how our past couple was going on their new venture together as husband & wife while also getting to see some familiar faces. 

From the moment you enter the tree lined driveway, you’ll appreciate a charming winery in picturesque grounds in which we would describe as a perfect wedding venue. Cedar Creek Estate up at Mt Tamborine on the Gold Coast is where we first started our 6-hour escapade.  This was not before though, quickly turning up at the lovely Sophie's house to catch a few quick shots, that turned out absolutely beautiful! 

It really goes to show, that with the right equipment & a positive attitude going into this environment with only a few moments to spare you really can get some excellent quality footage. Especially with the right lighting, to which we had. 

As the wedding ceremony was held outdoors, we had the natural lighting to fool around with for the whole day, and this definitely played into a huge benefit for the whole team of us shooting. From sun flare, to getting to fool around with the exquisite colour scheme that the out door settings had to offer us. 

As it was a perfect day, we were also able to get the drone up and flying around, which resulted into some STELLA footage of both the beautiful couple as well as the breath taking venue. 

As the night was leading into the reception, the speeches delivered throughout the whole night were amazing, as their was a collaboration of both heartfelt moments, accompanied by quite a few humorous ones as well. What was even better was the killer bridesmaid’s speech that featured a parody containing her best friend Sophie's voyage meeting Bryn; this got everyone’s spirits amped up in preparation for the first dance.

We were treated to a sentimental song Bryn and Sophie chose for their first dance, Kodaline- Latch. As this song had a strong symbolic meaning to each other it was lovely to see them wrapped up in another's embrace singing to each other.
