With such an enchanting setting, you can be forgiven for thinking this quaint stone chapel nestled in it’s rolling hills is something straight out of folklore.

All the right ingredients required in a pursuit of happiness start here. From the well-maintained gardens to the finer details inside the chapel, you can’t help but allow yourself to be carried afar to a time of old.

Henzell Chapel, located in Brisbane’s Moreton Bay Hinterland, can only be found by word of mouth. It has an elusiveness about it, only adding to the allure and captivation of it all, begging you to lose yourself in your imagination and to rediscover the charm of simplicity once again.

This shoot was put together by an all star cast that you can find at the Brisbane Wedding Festival in less then 3 weeks time!

Juddric Photography captured some truly breathtaking images.
Gorgeous hair was styled by Hair By Popular Demand aka Weddings By Popular Demand – yes Alana is a celebrant with a secret double life as a hair stylist.
A well painted face needs to go along with lovely locks and Karla from Blissful Makeup didn’t fail to deliver.

IN THE BOOTH

In the Booth 8

In The Booth quite literally  started with a blank piece of paper and a pencil. The idea began out of a need to design a booth that encompassed the retro style and inexplicable joy of a 1950’s arcade photo booth, while still having all the quality and benefits of modern imagery. Not only have they designed a booth that looks stunning in any venue, it also captures gorgeous three quarter length pictures to ensure not a single detail is missed.

With an amazing team of helpers, the guys at In The Booth go above and beyond for every single client and guest. Launching in 2009, In The Booth have attended over 8000 event and have seen it all. This quick thinking team have endless Plan-B’s up their sleeve to save the day from any last minute mishaps. Their focus is to maximise on detail and minimise on stress. Perfect!

In The Booth in now Australia’s leading photo booth franchise with offices all over the country. While they are constantly developing new product to meet the changing needs of their clients and their industry, the iconic booths have remained identical to that very first sketch on that piece of paper.

Come and meet the In The Booth team at the next Brisbane Wedding Festival. Held on January 30th, 2016, the countdown is on!

The original Jessie Dains was a shy, lovely woman who taught those around her the importance of love, family and friends. So when Josh and Shannon were searching for the perfect name for their new business, it was only natural for them to name it after Shannon’s late Grandmother Jessie.

Being in operation since 2013, they aim to think differently. The quote “One day forever”, has become synonymous with their business. Knowing that your wedding is only going to happen once in your lifetime and that your day will live on forever through their photographs, they strive to make your experience as magical as possible.

With a wealth of know-how between them, you will fall in love with this dynamic team. Josh has 10 years of photography experience and has shot over 800 amazing weddings to date. He is a people person and really takes the time to understand what is important to you on your special day. He has a magical way of making the most quiet or shy person in the room shine through the lens. With his charm and witty banter, he brings out the best in people.

Shannon will be your main point of contact with Jessie Dains. Highly organised, personable and fun, she is Producer/Second shooter, ensuring that throughout the process you have everything you need. Balancing out the team, she is the Ying to Josh’s Yang.

We are so delighted that Jessie Dains Photography will be joining us at our next Brisbane Wedding Festival held on January 30th, 2016. For more information on this amazing business and to read the story of the original Jessie, visit their website or find them on Facebook.

LYNDAL CARMICHAEL PHOTOGRAPHY

 

iXOcHfC5D2DS3875tNKLW2m64-383S35H5jCdAF3rGU

Lyndal Carmichael’s love for photography started young. Fumbling around with old film cameras during art class in high school ignited her thrill for taking photos. Not long after, she set up her business and at seventeen booked in her first wedding shoot (umm…WOW!) After completing her BFA in Visual Arts, she soon discovered that her part-time hobby would turn into a successful full-time career.

Being a newly-wed herself, Lyndal knows how important it is to catch those candid moments and bring real emotion to her images. Lyndal Carmichael Photography aims to insure that couples can look back at their photos, not just seeing what the day looked like, but feeling the emotions all over again.

Taking photos of weddings for over eight years, Lyndal is now joined by her talented Husband Jaydee.  With Lyndal being front and centre, she focuses on getting all the key shots, wrangling family members and (most importantly) helping the Bride. Jaydee is the king of candid and photographs all the little moments that a couple may have missed. Working together allows them to make sure that couples get every detail preserved. With the option of having Lyndal and Jaydee for the full day, these partners in crime ensure to capture your whole wedding experience. From Bride and Groom preparations, right through to guests busting a move on the dance floor!

Besides having creativity and skill, Lyndal believes that the connection that you make with people can make or break an image and knows how important it is for couples to feel comfortable to laugh or even cry with her.

Be sure to come and meet the team from Lyndal Carmichael Photography at our next Brisbane Wedding Festival being held on Janurary 30th, 2016. Until then, you can find them on Facebook or visit their website for more details.
