Fleay’s is an awesome venue with a very unique ceremony area and great lighting! I photographed Erin and Brodie’s wedding there recently, and loved the experience! Happily the bridal couple were very laid back which helped with the photography side of things!

Following an amazing and emotional wedding ceremony, I took a group photo and some family photos in the ceremony area then headed around the venue for some bridal party photos.

Happily we were gifted amazing light, and Erin and Brodie were natural models, but I always offer posing ideas and support for any nervous couples!

And check out that incredible dress!

Mrs Frost’s Kitchen Wedding

Posted on September 5, 2024March 12, 2025

There are so many incredible wedding venues in South East Queensland, and I am proud to say I have photographed at most of them! When Liesl and Matt asked me if I had photographed at Mrs Frost’s Kitchen, I had to admit that I hadn’t. But I have now!

And what an amazing location it is for an intimate and personalised wedding! Julie Frost couldn’t have been more helpful on the day, and we even Facetimed so that she could show me around and give me an idea of the geography and the best photo location spots.

I started my day with photos of Leisl getting ready. Matt, who was from Lancashire, where I was born, I met at the venue, and we started with the banter straight away!

I love the ‘nervous tension phase’ of any wedding. The calm before the storm! I used the time to get plenty of candid photos, and capture some Mrs Frost’s Kitchen wedding photos. And what beautiful surrounds they are! Rolling hills, forests, cows, and we even got a rainbow!

Liesl arrived in style in a convertible Mustang, and it wasn’t long before Matt had tears! Sensitive lot us Lancashire folk!

The ceremony was officiated by Pauline Bussain who was the perfect celebrant for Liesl and Matt.

Following a beautiful ceremony that was in equal parts emotional and hilarious, the couple had their kiss and we headed round the back for some family photos! Mrs Frost’s Kitchen has so many amazing spots for wedding photographs. The tree around the back of the property makes for an awesome family photo backdrop.

And then to my favourite part of the day; bridal party photos! Mrs Frost’s Kitchen has a few cows onsite so we snapped a few with the wildlife before heading down the driveway to a fantastic creek. We had the spot to ourselves so parked up the Mustang and snapped away!

Mrs Frost’s Kitchen also has an awesome rusting steam engine on site! A truly amazing backdrop!

But it is for the food that people head to Mrs Frost’s Kitchen. Julie is such an amazing host, and the long table decor and presentation is faultless. I managed to sneak a couple of canapes, and they were next level delicious!

Thank you Mrs Frost for an amazing introduction to your fabulous venue! I hope to be back again soon to photograph a Mrs Frost’s Kitchen wedding!

Same Sex Wedding Photographer

Posted on May 29, 2024March 12, 2025

If you are on the look out for a same sex wedding photographer, I would love to help out! Hi, my name is Andy Williams and I have been photographing weddings for over ten years. I have also been photographing same sex weddings since they (finally!) became legalised in 2017! So you know you are in good hands. Behind experience comes reliability.

“Hey Andy – Just want to say a massive thank you for the photos. They are absolutely amazing and everyone has been so impressed. It has really tied our wedding in the most beautiful way”. Aaron

My first ever same sex wedding as a photographer was a (semi-legal!) wedding in Beerwah for an amazing couple Millie and Nat who had been legalised in New Zealand and were having their showcase ceremony for friends and family here in Queensland. Since then I have photographed close to 50 same sex weddings, my latest one being the wedding of Aaron and Brody on the Gold Coast.

Being a Gold Coast wedding photographer, I have photographed at most venues, including QT Hotel where Aaron and Brody said their ‘I Dos’! Its an amazing venue with a fantastic private upstairs area, with amazing gardens flowing onto a private wedding ceremony deck!

The ceremony was officiated by the bubbly Mel Yusia who added an awesome splash of humour and emotion to the ceremony!

The ceremony itself was filled with emotion and tears. Following some group shots we headed to the beach for some groom and groom wedding photography.

I love photographing on the beach. Although a busy Saturday afternoon does make for more challenges! The boys (and I!) ended up in the water but we got some amazing shots then headed back for the festivities!
