Brisbane Wedding: Gardens Club Wedding Botanic Garden Ceremony

Garden’s Club Wedding:

I love Brisbane Gardens Club wedding photography. I have lived in Brisbane nearly 20 years and I still marvel at how beautiful she looks on a warm summer’s day! December the 18th was one such day: the sun was shining, it was warm, and there were a few scattered clouds to keep the sun at bay. A perfect day for a Brisbane wedding, and perfect conditions for Garden’s Club wedding photography!

I first met Cara and Roland two days prior to their big day (they both live in Perth but wanted a Brisbane wedding as this is where their family is located.) We were instantly on the same page as to the type of photography they were looking for and their wedding style: classical elegance. We worked out a timeline, and took time to just chat and get to know each other. This makes relaxing easier on the big day!

Fast forward two days and the sun was out and the Garden’s Club was filling with guests. I arrived early and grabbed a few shots of Roland looking nervous as the guests chatted and mingled. At precisely 11am, Cara arrived in her bridal car looking stunning.

The ceremony is the part of the wedding day that flies past the quickest! Without doubt the comment I hear most after the wedding is “It all went so fast!” Happily the photographer is there to capture the details, the smiles and the memories.

Roland is of German heritage, and as such some readings (and part of Cara’s vows) were in Deutsch, which added a personal touch to the occasion. The ceremony was conducted in English (by Elke Howard from Ceremonial Moments) so I was able to follow the proceedings of this beautiful Brisbane wedding!

After a few readings, including one in German by Roland’s sister Anne, came everyone’s favourite part of the ceremony: the kiss! It is the build-up to years of a relationship, and the first public expression of love the couple can show on their big day.

Following the kiss comes the formal part of the ceremony with the signing of the register and the certificate, and then the official declaration of marriage! Congratulations Mr & Mrs Treiber; you are now husband and wife!

Following a fun group shot, I grabbed some shots of the newly weds with their families. Happily, Cara had made this easy with a concise and detailed shot list (oh, how I love shot lists!) This also meant we had more time to head into Brisbane Botanic gardens for some beautiful formal shots of the couple.

Botanic Gardens Photos

I love Brisbane Botanic gardens for wedding photos – there are so many locations, and so much variety! Trees? Check! River? Check! City views? Check! Story Bridge? Check! It helped a lot that Cara and Roland were so natural to photograph, and so willing to give input. And acquiesce to my suggestions!

And what’s a wedding without a celebration?! Following our formal wedding photos in the Botanic gardens’s, we headed back to the Garden’s Cafe for the reception. The cafe was closed to the public for the reception, which kept the event intimate and personal, and the staff had done an amazing job of decorating the venue. The restaurant area was open and light (great for wedding photography!) and the tables close enough to remain personable without being crowded!

It’s capturing the details that I love most about wedding photography. These small things may be forgotten in a few years, but they would have made your day so unique. During any wedding reception, I use meal time to grab the details: the cake, the flowers, the menu and the decorations. It is usually these photos that get the most comments – these small things make the wedding!

And with any wedding celebration there are beautiful moments: cake cutting, speeches and the first dance. The cake was a traditional German cake, and looked amazing next to the wedding flowers. The guys also took the time to pose for a few more photos during the reception. Poor things!

But all good things come to an end, and unfortunately I had to leave the guys to their celebrations! It was the perfect wedding day and everything went without a hitch. Congratulations Cara and Roland; may your marriage be long and lots and lots of fun! Andy
