Cass and Clint's Wedding 12th September 2008

What were you doing on Friday the 12th September? We had the pleasure of photographing Cass and Clint’s wedding in Brisbane.

Clint and his groomsmen enjoyed a game of pool at the Norman Hotel before enjoying one of the Norman Hotel’s famous steaks.

Meanwhile, Cass and her bridesmaids were being pampered at Ego Hair, Milton. The stylists at Ego hair are so friendly and importantly, got things done on time. Hair and makeup sorted, it was time to return to their suite at Quay West Brisbane to grab some lunch before getting dressed.

Cass looked absolutely stunning I her gown designed by Wendy Makin Bridal Designs. Photos with the girls was so much fun, we used the many areas around the hotel including the pool deck with views of Brisbane city.

Time to head to the church, Cass and Clint had chosen St Mary’s Anglican Church Kangaroo Point for their wedding. This is one of my favorite churches I Brisbane. I have photographed there so many times over the years and when at this church, I often reflect on the wonderful couples I have photographed here. Father Stephen is a fantastic as well.

Clint greeted his guests; lots of laughter while waiting for Cass to arrive in a classis Jag from Kenz Classics. A moment to get sorted then it is down the isle we go. The ceremony was full of special moments, you can tell by the way Cass and Clint look at each other they are just perfect together.

Champagne with guests on the lawn at St Mary’s was a perfect way to start the celebrations before heading off for photos with the Bridal party. Our destinations were River Terrace Kangaroo Point followed by the waterfront at Kangaroo Point.

While we were enjoying champagne at River Terrace, the sky was turning black as a “5.30 Brisbane Special” storm was rolling in. The conditions changed so quickly, from a beautiful sunset to a black sky! As you can see, the light was amazing for photos.

Cass and Clint had chosen “Riverlife” for the venue for their cocktail reception. Guests sheltered from the rain enjoying music, wine and food. Before long, the rain passed and breathtaking views of the river were for all to enjoy.

Sadly, it was time to go; Cass and Clint were off to Thailand for their honeymoon. All of us at Reyment Photographics wish Cass and Clint all the very best in their life together, those that know them know how special they are. Best wishes to you both.

Jane and Jason's Wedding 2nd August 2008

Jane and Jason Jane and Jason were married on the 2nd August 2008 on a perfect winter’s day in Brisbane.

We met Jason and his groomsmen at home relaxing on the back deck, enjoying a cold beverage and rehearsing speeches. Jane you will be pleased, Jason remembered to water the veggie garden!

Jane and her bridesmaids prepared at Quay West Hotel in Alice Street, Brisbane; this hotel was perfect as the suite they had had lost of room for everyone. Jane had chosen the Powder Room for her make up and all the girls looked fantastic.

Jane looked amazing, some beautiful photos in the foyer before we left to meet the boys at St Mary’s Anglican Church Kangaroo Point.

A few laughs with Jason and his groomsmen as we took their photos, (yes Peter, I even managed to make you look good!) and it was time to greet the guests arriving. These moments immediately before the wedding are so precious.

Jane’s arrival signaled it was time for the ceremony to start. A wonderful ceremony by Father Stephen and Jane and Jason were Brisbane’s newest married couple!

Champagne with guests on the lawn at St Mary’s was a perfect way to start the celebrations before heading off for photos with the Bridal party. Our destination was Edward Street Brisbane, a wonderful street with diverse architecture, great light enabling stunning imagery.

Jane and Jason had chosen the Queensland Downtown Rugby Club as their reception venue, Drinks on the balcony overlooking the Story Bridge was a perfect warm up to a wonderful meal with friends and family.

Our best wishes to Jane and Jason from all of us here at Reyment Photographics, lovely people with a great life ahead of them.

Daniel & Tash's Wedding 6th September 2008 (with Video)

Daniel and Tash were married on the 6th September 2008 on a windy day in Brisbane.

We found Daniel relaxing at home with his groomsmen checking out the finer details of the old London taxi they had arranged for the wedding.

Meanwhile Tash was preparing at the Stamford Plaza Hotel, Brisbane. When I arrived, there was a overriding calmness, I knew it was going to be a great day.

Hair and makeup complete, it was time for some photos with the family and Tash’s bridesmaid Anna before going to meet Daniel for photos before the wedding. Yes that’s right, photos before the wedding. As the ceremony was late in the day, we had arranged to meet for photos before the wedding so as to maximize time with guests later… and get some fantastic images before.

We met outside Restaurant 2, located on a great corner in Brisbane where I could get a photo of Daniel and Tash seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day. The short video here shows this meeting. As the end of the video, there is a short interview on how Daniel and Tash felt about the photos before, it was a fantastic thing to do, watch the video for more details and to see how we work.

We moved around the city for some great shots, some of my favorites are on the staircase silhouetted against the sky, totally dramatic. Trying to keep out of the wind was a challenge but we did well.

Time to head off to the ceremony, Daniel and Tash had chosen the Chapel at St Stephens Cathedral for their ceremony and it was the perfect venue for an intimate ceremony with their guests.

After congratulations, time to get into the old London Taxi and depart for the reception at the Port of Brisbane Visitors Centre. Daniel is a fantastic chef as were a lot of the guests many of whom had traveled internationally for the wedding. Being a foodie myself, we needed no encouragement to get into the kitchen and check out the action. The cocktail reception ensured guests got to enjoy a wide variety of canapés, the menu was brilliant. I even got photos of Daniel preparing some canapés for Tash in the kitchen.

Sadly it was time to leave; we had a great day as did everyone at the wedding. All of us at Reyment Photographics wish Daniel and Tash a wonderful life together, I am sure every moment will be accompanied by a laugh and splendid food!
