Wedding Photographer Redlands

wedding photographer redlands

Having lived in the beautiful Redlands for almost ten years, I know the area very well and have photographed well over 100 weddings in the region. If you are on the search for a wedding photographer Redlands, I’d love to hear from you!

Jen and Bruce called me for their amazing back yard wedding in Sheldon and were delighted with my suggestions for bridal party photography! A Redlands-based wedding photographer knows the best spots for photos – a local always knows best!

We started with some bridal prep photos at Jen’s parent’s place, then I headed to Jen and Bruce’s property for the nervous tension phase of the day! I was delighted to see Fiona Eady from Ceremonies by The Bay was the celebrant for the day – being a local herself she knows the area well and her fun and laid back delivery is always welcome! https://www.ceremoniesbythebay.com.au/

The ceremony was amazingly delivered, with plenty of humour, emotion and tears!

I always the taking the group photo at a wedding – it is usually the most difficult photo to get as you need to have 100+ people looking at the camera at the same time and smiling! And sometimes we have an escapee!

Redlands Wedding Photographer

And following the ceremony we headed to West Mt Cotton Road for the bridal party photos! This is always my favourite part of the day when the bride and groom can finally relax and I get to be creative!

We had an amazing sunset and fantastic light so I was a happy Redlands wedding photographer as we headed back for the reception!

So if you are looking for a fun, relaxed wedding photographer in the Redlands, I would love to hear from you!

“Just wanted to say thankyou so much for our photos – they are absolutely beautiful! There are so many nice moments that you captured perfectly so thankyou so much”

Mt Tamborine Wedding Photographer

Anyone who has ever met me knows how meticulous and obsessively detailed I am with wedding arrangements and timings! So how strange it was to photograph a full day wedding without being in charge!

Bjorn Schmal from In Love Weddings had contacted me to help with the wedding photography for Lee and Tim for their Old Church wedding on Mt Tamborine. The plan was for Bjorn to look after the video side of things, and me the photos. I jumped at the chance as Bjorn and I have worked together before and we share a very similar outlook on capturing weddings, and he’s a great bloke and top videographer too! (https://www.inlove-weddings.com/)

We met for a coffee before the wedding and ran through the plans, then spent a fun and relaxed couple of hours capturing Tim and his boys, and Lee and her girls getting ready.

Being an experienced Mt Tamborine wedding photographer meant that I knew the venue well and had photographed there before. We were also blessed with fabulous weather so headed outside for some family photos.

Old Church Mt Tamborine

Bjorn and I work very well together and never get in each other’s way! Having photographed and videoed over 20 weddings together, we know how each other work and have an awesome synergy! We also share the same sense of humour and our relaxed outlook on life takes away all the stresses from your wedding!

Once the getting ready photos had been taken it was time for the real deal! The ceremony! The Old Church has a beautiful chapel that makes for fantastic wedding photographs regardless of the weather!

One of my favourite things about Mt Tamborine weddings is the number of photography locations available! We first headed to the rainforest then Hang Glider Hill for sunset. Oh wow, how amazing do the photos look!

And following a beautiful sunset, it was time to party!

Interior Photography

Having a series of high quality interior photographs of your office or business will do wonders for your website. The API day-care centre at Milton wanted some fresh interior photographs of their centre for a branding refresh, so I headed down there one Sunday whilst the centre was child-free for an interior photography session.

Interior photography is very different to wedding and family photography. In many ways interior photography is far easier as all you need is a tidy room and a tripod!

In three hours we were able to get over 150 photos of the day-care centre. I photographed every one of the rooms, got some branding photographs in the reception area, and got some detail photos in each of the rooms. I also ventured outside for some external shots of the day-care centre.

If you are looking for a rebrand or a website refresh, an interior photography session is a great way to brighten your brand. We work seven days a week so can come to you whenever works for you.

Andy has been taking interior photographs for over a decade so works quickly and non-invasively, and with rapid turn around times and affordable rates, you will be in very good hands! For a quote, or to chat about your needs please feel free to contact us.

Headshot Photography

A great website needs great images. A picture tells a thousand words, right?! And a series of fantastic headshots will not only bring your website to life, but will show your clients who they are dealing with. Phone selfies just don’t cut it these days – one sharp, stylised, and edited image will do the work of 100 blurry I-Phone photos! Headshot photography is a must to set you apart from your competition.

Happily I work fast! So when I get called out to a headshot shoot, we will regularly get several different headshots and poses in a very short time frame. I will travel to your workplace with my camera gear and lighting and will you have you looking fantastic in minutes!

The guys at Revolve Projects and Bayer Stevens share office space in Windsor, so in an hour we were able to get several different headshots of each person, both full height, and closer head shots, and even had time for some interior office photos too.

An hour goes by very quickly but the difference it will make to your website and social media presence is immense. Professional photography gives your business a professional outlook.

We travel to you so disruption and time out of the office is minimal. We also turn around 95% of jobs within a week. Each photography job is different so contact us for a quote, but most headshot photography jobs within the Brisbane area are $299 for an hour.

Should I Feed My Wedding Photographer?!

should i feed my photographer

Should I feed my wedding photographer is a question I get asked a lot! And my answer is always the same; if you want to!

A lot of wedding photographers will insist on being fed at your wedding but I understand that if I had a ‘normal’ job, you wouldn’t be shouting my lunch! So I am fairly flexible about it! It is always lovely to have something to eat during a long work day, but it isn’t a deal breaker for me!

The truth is, wedding photographers work very hard and rarely, if ever, get a break, so having a meal towards the end of the day is always very much appreciated and can kick start those energy levels just as they begin to wane! And most, if not all, wedding venues have a ‘supplier meal’ option that will cost a fraction of a guest meal – usually somewhere around the $20-$30 mark. A good wedding photographer will not spend an hour eating – we understand that being in the right place at the right time is absolutely paramount for capturing amazing images, so we will eat quickly, and will be back photographing before you’ve picked up your fork!

And the reality is that there is not usually another option for a wedding photographer to eat! Venues do not let photographers bring in their own food, and it is very rare for a venue to be so close to another food outlet that it is worth a vendor heading out to eat.

In conclusion, you should never feel obligated to feed your wedding photographer, but when there is no other option it always very much appreciated! And keeping those energy levels high will benefit you ten times over!

Affordable Family Photographer!

Affordable Family Photographer

If you are looking for an Affordable Family Photographer, Andy Williams of A Thousand Miles Photography can help! I travel around South East Queensland photographing families, couples, and weddings, and I adore my job!

Not only will you have fun on your shoot, but you will receive your high resolution digital images (so there are no hidden fees or extra print charges!!) within a week!

We take great pride in what we do, and we do it fairly and affordably too!

I am based in the Redlands on Brisbane’s Bayside but travel throughout the South East Queensland region. It works out a little cheaper if you travel to my region but I cover anywhere from the Sunshine Coast, down to the Southern Gold Coast – you can see the pricing here.

I do a lot of my family photo shoots at Wellington Point Reserve as there are so many amazing backdrops we can use! But I know the Redlands, and the Great Brisbane region very well so am always happy to offer some location suggestions, and clothing and posing advice comes for free too!

Family photography is my full time job so I work 7 days and (almost!) 365 days a year to capture your beautiful family. If you would like to check date availability, I would love to hear from you!
