We can safely say that judging this competition and coming up with a winner has been way harder than we ever expected. After meeting our third finalists late last week, we looked at each other and both said, “who’s stupid idea was this competition anyway?!?!”. The thought of having to pick a winner was both heartbreaking and impossible. We had come to know these three couples and all of them had wonderfully individual, awesome wedding plans.

In the end chance played no part in who would win. It all came down to the unique details and in these three couples we had three completely different weddings. One had a little rock n roll and a whole lot of style, another was filled with wonderful tradition and was set to give “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” a run for it’s money (Kaliope’s words, not ours, Lol) and the third was filled with 1950’s vintage beauty. So you can see why our decision has been so hard. We truly wish we could have had three winners but unfortunately we just couldn’t.

So… we want to thank everyone for entering what turned out to be a very, very successful competition and although we did find the decision making difficult ( we suck at making decisions at the best of times) the whole process has been a wonderful experience. We are so happy to announce that our winner of wedding photography to the value of over $3000 is…

Tracey & Dave and Kaliope and Greg, Thank you so much for entering and taking the time to meet with us. We loved getting to know you and we wish you all the best for your weddings.

Meg and Liam, congratulations! In the end it was your attention to detail and your totally unique wedding reception that made you the winners. We’ll be in touch very soon and we’re looking forward to working with you both.

Yesterday’s wedding took us on a roadtrip to Goomeri, home of the famous Goomeri Pumpkin Festival! Brenda and Dale were finally tying the knot and Brenda had asked us to come out and photograph the event. It was nice to get away from the city for a while and enjoy life in the country. Everything is so quiet and green and charming.

There were a few special spots that we totally fell in love with throughout the day. One was the church that Brenda and Dale chose to get married in. You know those little old country churches? Well this was “just” like that. Another spot was an abandoned butter factory. I think we could have shot there all day had it not been for Dale’s fear of dogs and the somewhat unpleasant stench of something rotting. It made for the perfect location though! Lastly was the reception venue, the Goomeri Bowls Club. We arrived to be met with Retro beauty and when we saw the reception room…well words can’t even explain. Brenda’s sister made all the decorations and they were perfect!

Guys, thank you for a wonderful day. I think we can easily say it was one of the most relaxed weddings we’ve attended so far. Enjoy your one night trip to Paris (Toowoomba for those not in the know) and we’ll be in touch soon.
