Elopement Photography

Posted on September 7, 2022March 25, 2024

Elopement weddings are becoming an increasingly popular way for couples to say ‘I do’! Happily we specialise in elopement photography and elopement wedding photography!

D & G were one couple who made their wedding vows in the most personal way possible! Alone! Technically speaking you will always need a minimum of 5 people at a wedding (the couple, a celebrant, and 2 witnesses) but I am always happy to be a witness and to sign the paperwork for you! As I did this day!

We headed to New Farm park for D&G’s elopement wedding, where we met our celebrant and her husband – the 2nd witness! The vows were beautiful and intimate and were said by the flower arbours in the park gardens.

Elopement Photographer Brisbane

Following a beautiful and personal ceremony, we stayed in the park for some photos of the newlyweds. New Farm park is one of my favourite spots in Brisbane for elopement photography as there are heaps of amazing spots and backdrops for photos. We started by the arbour then headed to the Powerhouse for some urban chic!

It helped that it was a beautiful day and that we were there late in the afternoon when the sun is low and at its best. We call that the golden hour and makes the couple and the landscape glow!

If you are looking for elopement photography and elopement wedding photography packages, we would love to help! We photograph weddings 7 days a week and have a 2-hour weekend elopement photography package for $890, which includes your edited high resolution images and a chat beforehand to go through the plans!

We also have a midweek (Monday – Thursday) quickie option. A 1-hour midweek elopement is just $499.00!! For more information check out our wedding photography packages or feel free to contact us!

Congratulations on locking in a date and the best of luck with your elopement wedding plans! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Redlands Photographer

Redlands Photography

I love being a Redlands photographer! Firstly, the Redlands is an amazing place to live! Secondly being a Redlands photographer means you get to photograph in some of the best photography locations in SE QLD! And thirdly; I love my job!

So when Sam and Darcy asked me to get some updated photos for their tribe a few weeks ago I jumped at the chance! I photographed Sam and Darcy’s wedding a couple of years ago so knew the guys well – all except Tyler who has been born since the big day!

Redlands Photographer

We chose the Golden Hour (the last hour of the day when the sun is low and the light is gorgeous!) to do the photos, and opted for Raby Bay beaches as a location. It is such an amazing spot, with some greenery, plenty of sand, and amazing sunsets!

The kids all seemed to remember me which meant we hit the ground running and didn’t have any awkwardness at the start! We got some lovely photos amongst the greenery and in the trees then headed down to the break water rocks.

Sunsets are always unpredictable; clouds can work both ways and can either turn bright red and gorgeous or can block out the sun completely! Luckily we had the best of both worlds and had some shade but still ended up with amazing colours as the sun hit the horizon!

I always try and get some more natural photos towards the end of the shoot and just let kids be kids! Those candid, spontaneous photos always get the best comments and best reactions!

If you are looking for a Redlands Photographer, we would love to help! A half hour photo shoot in the mainland Redlands is $149, and an hour is $199, and your high resolution images are included! For more information visit our photography packages page!

Trash the Dress Photo Shoot

Posted on November 19, 2021November 1, 2022

Location: Sheldon

Date: 12th September 2021

trash the dress photo shoot — Trash the Dress Photo Shoot: Lucy Eaton

Trash the Dress Photography

I adore what I do for a living. I couldn’t do anything else! And the thing I love most about what I do is the unpredictability of it! Every day is different! And Lucy and Matt’s Trash the Dress anniversary shoot was one such day!

The guys had booked me in months in advance and luckily the weather on the day was perfect! We did the shoot at a friends place on acreage about 5 minutes from me in Sheldon. Amazingly both Lucy and Matt both fit easily into their wedding dress and suit that they had worn 10 years ago at their wedding! Impressive! There was a definite spark of excitement when I got there, from both the couple and myself!

We started with a couple of ‘calm before the storm’ photos of the guys looking elegant and clean!

And then the fun began!

I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time! It was so much fun! I actually had a full day of shoots that day and was covered in blue powder within seconds! I didn’t care! It’s not every day you get to take part in something as awesome as this!

I asked the guys what their thinking was behind the Trash the Dress shoot, and they said their wedding dress and suit had been in the wardrobe for ten years and they wanted to celebrate their ten year anniversary with some fun photos, which compliments their personalities perfectly! I think we nailed the brief!

By the end of the shoot whole trays of paint were being launched! I cant even imagine how long it took to soak the dress, or how many showers it took to get rid of all signs of paint, but I reckon with photos like these, it was well worth the effort!

Congratulations on ten years of married perfection! Here’s to the next decade!

Pet Photography

Pet Photography at Wellington Point Reserve, August 2021

Engagement Photography Brisbane

Every now and again I will do a photo shoot that really stands out. Hayley and Shawn’s engagement and pet photography shoot was one of those times!

I had arranged the time and location with Shawn and was then asked if it was OK to bring their pet ducks. I presumed this was a classic autocorrect error, so said ‘yeah, dogs are fine’. Nope, they brought ducks! In nappies!

Pet Photos

The fact that Hayley and Shawn had dressed so spectacularly for the afternoon made the photos even more fun! Normally two ducks in nappies would dominate a pet photography shoot, but not this time!

The ducks (both named after a Tokyo suburb!) behaved immaculately! And once they finished their modelling duties we concentrated on the beautiful couple and their engagement!

To say that Shawn rose to the occasion is an understatement! Generally boys are at a shoot under duress and can’t wait until it’s over! Not Shawn! He loved posing and had a million different ideas!

The low afternoon light was amazing. We started on the jetty then headed to the Western side of the Reserve for the sunset. We weren’t disappointed!

The sun put on a show for us, and just as I thought the shoot had peaked, Hayley and Shawn went swimming!

Quite literally in Shawn’s case! Before I could blink the shirt was off and Shawn was submerged! I’ll leave the Daniel Crag images that followed to your imagination!

I drove home smiling like a fool! It really was the photo shoot that had everything! Pet photography, engagement photography, couples photography, glamour, ducks, nappies! Thank you so much for making my Monday afternoon so memorable guys! You both rock!

The only question now is: how do you top that at the wedding?!

Manly Wedding Photography

Posted on April 26, 2019November 5, 2022

Date: 22nd October 2018

Location: Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club, Manly

I love photographing weddings in Manly! I lived there for several years and am still local so know the area very well! I have also been a member of Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club for many years so was delighted to be asked to capture Ray and Clara’s amazing wedding last October!

And what a day it was! It was a perfect day for Manly Wedding Photography – the sun shone, the wind was kind, and look at that for a wedding ceremony backdrop! The Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club is a pretty special place to be married! Oh and Clara and Ray looked pretty good too!

Ray was relaxed and smiling as the guests arrived and Clara was more relaxed than when I had met the guys a few days prior when she pulled up in the wedding car! And how amazing is that dress!

Debbie Thomas did a fantastic job as always, officiating the ceremony and even wove (see what I did there!) a knot-tieing element into the ceremony! I have photographed several weddings with Debbie and she is a star – always a lot of fun, very easy to work with and nothing is ever too much for her! You can check out her web page here:
https://www.letscelebrate.com.au/

Cheers indeed! Congratulations on the perfect wedding ceremony guys! And all the best for the future!

The great thing about Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club is that you don’t have to leave the premises for beautiful bridal party photos! We headed down to the boat ramp for some gorgeous bay and boat shots, and didn’t the guys do well!

Manly Wedding Photography

And happily there was no need to head elsewhere for the reception as Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club have you sorted there too! And with amazing water views and outstanding food to boot!

Congratulations on the perfect wedding day guys and thanks for being so much fun to photograph! Best Wishes, Andy

Real Estate Photography

Posted on April 3, 2019March 17, 2023

A Thousand Miles Photography are better known for our wedding photography, family portrait photography and newborn photography but did you know we can help you out with your Real Estate Photography too?!

Jess from The Rosy Room Psychologists in Springfield Lakes contacted me earlier in the year to have some interior photos taken at the practice, so we locked in an early morning to do the photos before they opened. Usually the majority of my time during a real estate photography shoot is spent tidying up, removing finger prints from glass or ‘disappearing’ unneeded props like tissue boxes and pens, but Jess had done an amazingly thorough job so as soon as I walked in we started the photos!

Jess had also been to the flower markets that morning. A bit of greenery always make a property appear far more presentable and alive, and I think the results came out very well indeed!

We had already taken some staff photos for the website at the park across the road, so a little over an hour after starting we had photographed the reception area, all practice rooms and the waiting room. We work quickly because we understand occupying staff and work premises prevents your customers from entering, which affects your backline!

Because every real estate photography job is different it is difficult to have a standard price list available, but if you are looking to have your small business property photographed, or if you need staff photographs taking, then feel free to contact us for a quote and we can do the rest!

Anniversary Photo Shoot

Posted on April 2, 2019November 5, 2022

Anniversary Photo Shoot

Location: Wellington Point, Redlands

I love being a wedding photographer! I get to photograph people looking their best, being at their happiest and I get to have a different office every day! But the day is always over too quickly – both for me and the bride and groom! So what a great idea to have an anniversary photo shoot!

Doing an anniversary photo shoot means you get to relive the day all over again! You get to dress up, look beautiful, and celebrate being married to the person you love!

Affordable Photo Shoot:

We shoot with multiple lenses, one of which is the 70-200mm zoom lens that allows us to keep our distance whilst capturing the details! This lens works great for couples that are not 100% comfortable in front of the camera as it means we can stand back and be as inconspicuous as possible!

Happily the Redlands is a beautiful spot for anniversary photography, family photography and wedding photography! My favourite spot is Wellington Point Reserve with the Moreton Bay Fig trees, the jetty, bay views and the beach!

We always encourage input, thoughts and ideas at our photo shoots, but if you would rather us take the reins then we love doing that too! You are always welcome to bring along props, a change of clothes and pets! These are your photos and it is our job to make them as personal as possible!

Couples Photography:

An Anniversary Photo Shoot with A Thousand Miles Photography is affordable, fun and stress-free! We have photographed hundreds of couples in and around the Redlands and the Brisbane region and specialise in making you feel relaxed and comfortable, which as a result gives you better photos and a fantastic experience!

Head to our Contact Us page to check availability or browse our Photography Packages page for prices. All of our packages include your high resolution images so there are no additional costs or compulsory print fees!

Redlands Photographer: Wellington Point Photo Shoot

Posted on February 14, 2018

Redlands Photographer: Shahn and Joe’s Engagement Shoot

Location: Wellington Point

Hi there, let me introduce myself! My name is Andy Williams and I am a Redlands Photographer!

I love the Redlands but only moved here in 2015. We are based in Alexandra Hills and have a home studio, but we absolutely love on location photo shoots, such as Shahn and Joe’s Engagement photo shoot at Wellington Point park!

I particularly love Wellington Point as a location for photo shoots as there are so many options for backdrops! I always start at the beautiful Moreton bay Fig trees, before moving to the beach, jetty and bay views on the opposite side of the peninsular. Being a Redlands photographer means I know the area very well and know of a few secret photo locations!

Shahn and Joe were an amazing couple to photograph; so relaxed, so much fun and so much in love! I was privileged to have been asked to capture their wedding a few months after capturing these photographs, and that wedding day was equally as fun as this engagement shoot!

We were lucky that Wellington Point park was quite quiet that day so the guys had the place to themselves! We used all that the park had to offer and got some amazing and natural photographs; one of the specifications that the guys had before we started!

A photo shoot in the Redlands starts at $99 at our Alexandra Hills Studio, with a Wellington Point on-location photo shoot starts at $119, both packages include your high resolution images on a disc! For more information and inclusions, click below or give us a call! We would love to capture you looking amazing!

Redlands Photography – Greg, Jen & Madeleine Family Photos

Posted on June 9, 2017

Redlands Photography: Family Photo Shoot

Date: 3rd July 2016

Location: Wellington Point

Photography in the Redlands is very rewarding indeed – for a start we have countless options for family photo shoot locations, and with plentiful ocean backdrops, Redlands Photography is a must!

I was lucky enough to do a family photo shoot in Wellington Point Park with Greg, Jen and their beautiful daughter Madeleine – the weather was perfect for family photography and Madeleine was an absolute dream to photograph!

It was a gorgeous, clear afternoon with beautiful low sun, which made for some amazing low light shots – check out the reflections and sea view backdrops in these portrait photos!

Wellington Point jetty is a great location for family photo backgrounds – even on a hot and sunny day we can head underneath the jetty for a bit of shade, which helps with squinting and harsh contrasts. We just have to make sure we go at low tide!

The crowning gem is the 400-year old fig trees; they are amazing and it is almost impossible to take a bad family photo there! Redlands Photography is a great hobby and past time but when it happens to be your job too, that has to be a blessing!

Thanks very much for the photos Andy… They were fantastic. Cheers, Greg
