What is it about weddings that you love so much?

I love how modern weddings are a reflection of the couple and are often more of a party or holiday, than a formal event. Many Brides go with flowing, ethereal gowns and casual styling these days and that is so me .

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why? I am so pink, neon pink. I have no idea why!  I am so pink, neon pink. I have no idea why!

Sarah Head

SARAH HEAD (SINGER)

What is it about weddings that you love so much?

Weddings are magical! I absolutely love being able to be a part of a couple’s special day and to share in their joy, happiness and celebrations!

For me, creating the perfect atmosphere through music is pivotal. I love being able to make memorable moments on such a special day – whether it’s a relaxed ambience from live dinner music or flushing out great aunt’s famous dance moves on the dance floor.

What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

I recently sung at the wedding of a lovely Scottish bride and Aussie groom and instead of cutting a cake, they had a Quaich ceremony, where the couple drank from the two-handled cup. Sharing a cup was seen as a sign of trust between the people drinking from it, and was a lovely unique way of starting their lives together!

I’ve also seen some fantastically choreographed first dances, and a memorable father-daughter dance which was a mash-up of a range of songs with set moves (such as Grease & the chicken dance), where both the bride and her father broke into the actions in perfect synch. It was hilariously entertaining!

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

If I were a colour I would be aqua, because life couldn’t possibly be dull if you’re the colour of the sea! It’s calm, peaceful, enduring, happy and creative – everything I love about life!

Yellowbullmedia

YELLOW BULL MEDIA

In a nutshell, who are you and what do you do?

We are Martin and Kehra- partners in film and partners in life. Our passion is capturing beautiful and cinematic imagery, then cutting it together to tell a unique story and what story is more unique and beautiful than two people joining together for the rest of their lives? We have both been trained in the art of filmmaking and audio and bring our knowledge and creativity to each wedding we have the pleasure of filming.

What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

We have seen a few pretty interesting things. Brides dancing on tables. A bride and a groom jumping in water puddles as their marquee flooded (talk about making the best of a tricky situation). We’ve had a wedding that had a petting zoo and recently our first Jewish wedding where they lifted the couple up on chairs for their traditional Haka dance.

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

Yellow of course. It’s in our company’s name, happens to be my (Kehra) favourite colour and it’s a part of the man I loves name. Not to mention that it is such a pretty and happy colour.

Moose and co

MOOSE & CO.

In a nutshell, who are you and what do you do?

Ever since I started making short films in 2006, I’ve loved the creative freedom that stop-motion offers. To make a stop-motion wedding video, I go to a wedding, with my DSLR camera, just like any normal wedding photographer—Only I take thousands of photos, and then edit them all together, to create the illusion of motion. Through use of stop motion, I can get really creative, and make unique, funny, and quirky videos that can’t be achieved through traditional wedding videography or photography. I take the charm from a beautiful wedding photo and the life that video brings, and I meld them together. The best of both worlds.

What do you do in your free time?

I write articles for various websites, including Your Friends House. I also write scripts for short films that I intend to film.

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

Brown. Because I like a lot of old-fashioned things that are brown. Laugh if you want. Most people think it’s a boring, ugly colour. Yes, it’s the colour of poo. I don’t care. I love vintage, brown leather. Brown shoes, brown chairs, brown cars, brown everything. Fun fact: My hair is also brown.

Adam Ward

ADAM WARD PHOTOGRAPHY

What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

Late last year I shot a wedding where the couple whispered their vows into each others ears so only they could hear what was being said. It’s the first time I’ve seen the vows done that way and I thought it was pretty special. There was something more intimate and personal about it.

What do you do in your free time?

I have 2 year old twins so between looking after them and running my business free time is a scarce commodity but when I can I like to head to the beach for a surf otherwise it’s just hanging with my family.

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

“Happy Days” blue by Dulux how could you go wrong with a name like that.

Prue Franzmann Pic

PRUE FRANZMANN PHOTOGRAPHY

In a nutshell, who are you and what do you do?

In a nutshell – I’m a gal that loves LOVE!! Capturing people when they are in love is unlike any other form of photography to me. When you look at an image and you can feel the emotion that a couple have, which is what makes me fall in love with LOVE at every single wedding I capture and Iove that I get to give clients artwork emotionally charged like that!

What is it about weddings that you love so much?

Again, the emotion that people have at a wedding is priceless. Not just the couple… the parents, the grandparents, the long time family friend and the best friends, they are all invested in that coupled relationship and capturing the moments they don’t see is a big part of being an amazing wedding photographer.

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

If I had to choose a colour that best described me as a photographer I would probably choose black. During a large portion of the wedding day I’m like a photo ninja moving from place to place to capture things that the couple, or others, might miss. Its my job to best photograph the story of a couples wedding day so I have to be stealth in getting to the right place at the right time J….
Prue “photo ninja” Franzmann!!!

Figtree Pictures 

FIGTREE PICTURES

What is it about weddings that you love so much?

I love the fact that no two Weddings are the same. Essentially I am working in a different place, every day. I absolutely love that.

I love seeing two people madly in love, and watching all of happy friends and family sharing their joy. I honestly still shed tears behind my camera during the beautiful moments throughout the day.

What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

The most unique thing I have seen would have to have been at one of my very first Weddings. The bride decided to ride up the aisle on her cruiser bicycle!

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

It would have to be yellow. Bright, happy and a little unique.

Josie Richardson-3

JOSIE RICHARDSON PHOTOGRAPHY

What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of the first weddings I photographed was in the garden of a beautiful home in Byron Bay. Being that it was in the height of summer, it rained most of the day but that didn’t stop people from participating in the event just as they would’ve had it been sunny. The ceremony took place in the rain, band played on and everyone danced in the rain, and when they weren’t dancing, eating or laughing, people went for a swim in the pool. The groom’s shirt was wet and the bride’s dress was covered in mud but no one really fussed too much about how they were looking, they just concentrated on having lots of fun despite dripping from head to toe.

What do you do in your free time?

When I’m able to put aside time for fun I love to go camping in the bush somewhere or visit family or friends who live out of town. If it’s just a smaller amount of time then going to the movies with my son, which is not often these days as he’s a teenager now, or friends, or just going for bite to eat is the most rewarding thing to do when I have free time.

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

Probably blue because it makes me feel peaceful and is the colour of the ocean which I love to be in. When I’m floating in the ocean or a river it’s completely relaxing and the feeling of weightlessness makes me imagine what it might be like to be flying, and let’s face it, I don’t have wings!

THE PHOTO BOOTH GUYS

In a nutshell, who are you and what do you do?

I am Max Power and I am the worlds most awesome photo booth. The end.

What is the most unique thing you’ve seen at a wedding?

Aside from me? Aside from all the guests  playing bingo at the reception? Aside from a bridesmaid losing a tooth whilst doing “the worm”? Aside from guests carving meat at the table whilst wearing rabbit masks? I don’t know… our weddings are pretty boring…

What do you do in your free time?

Get more awesome. And drink scotch.

What is it about weddings that you love so much?

To me weddings are all about celebrating love and having a great shindig with friends and loved ones.  Seriously, what’s better than that?  It’s generally the one event in a couple’s life where they to go all out.  And that doesn’t have to mean cost wise – it could be getting crafty and DIY.  We love a good party.  It’s such a fun time and shouldn’t ever be stressful!

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?

This is almost impossible for me to choose!  I like colours that have punch and make a statement.  I’d try to convince you to let me be a colour combo, but if that doesn’t work I’d probably go for chartreuse or fuchsia.

What is it about weddings that you love so much?
I feel very privileged to be apart of such an important day for the bride and groom and their families. It’s great to meet such an elective mix of couples and hear their story while helping them plan their day.

What do you do in your free time?
When I’m not working I paint, read and hang out with my family.

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?
Orange, because I drink too much carrot juice!

Marriage Celebrant AliAli Hall (Marriage Celebrant Ali)

What is it about weddings that you love so much?
I have always cried at weddings.  I get an overwhelming emotion that builds up.  All the happiness, love and positivity that flows on a couple’s wedding day.  If we could bottle and sell the energy that a wedding creates the world would be a much more loving, positive and happy place.

What do you do in your free time?
I have 2 little girls, Poppy and Winnie who seem to keep me busy in my spare time these days.  We enjoy going on adventures to the forests, parks and beaches, experiencing new things together.  When the girls are sleeping or busy themselves I enjoy sewing, painting furniture, craft, gardening, op shopping, yoga and snuggling with my Beau. And if I ever have time I love to roller skate!

If you were a colour, which colour would you be, and why?
Oooo… This is a tricky one.  Anyone that knows me knows that I am a pretty colourful gal.  If I can’t be a rainbow I would choose green as it is the colour that represents your heart chakra. Where harmony, equanimity, compassion, trust, loving relationships come from!
